Prefer chinese myself, I always make sure to go to the Tai Lok in chinatown when I'm over for a game. Loads of Chinese eat there. It's the rather grubby lookin place with the ducks all hanging in the window.

It's very true. Alot (not all, but alot) of what gets served in English (and Irish) Indian restaurants is a European-ised version of Indian food.

You cannot buy an Onion Bhajji in India. Nearest thing would be an onion pakora. Similarly the best selling Indian dish in Engerland - the tikka masala - was invented in Engerland to accomodate the English taste.
