How I did it: While I was visiting my uncle (& aunt, cousins, etc.) I mentioned to him that I've never been to an Indian restaurant. Evidently, he loves Indian food so he planned for all of us to go sometime that week. I tried several different entrees, including samosa, an appetizer with green stuff on it, chicken korma (my order), a lamb entree, the side rice, etc. 

Lessons & tips: For some people it is too spicy so ask the waitress which options are more mild. Perhaps, you'd like to build a tolerance to the heat--which dissipates a bit after the meal. I don't recommend bringing little kids (but if you do, you can request chicken without any spices.)
