MODERATORS
In general, similar to Thai restaurants, Indian restaurants in the US all have the same ~10 things on the menu, so our exposure to the diversity of Indian cuisine is actually really limited to mostly northern Indian dishes.
In the US, a lot of Indian food is served buffet-style, so you walk around and slop different colored mushes on your plate, which can be kinda unappetizing. And some of them aren't that good.
It's very vegetable based, and Americans are meat babies.
Spices, Americans don't like em. Strong smells can be off-putting to the sensitive cracker palette
Racism/orientalism
Ah yes, the make assumptions and lump all 330 million Americans into the same bucket comment. Tell me all Americans have a bland pallette and can't stand spice after eating hot chicken.
