NOTE
that it is VERY CHALLENGING to find spices needed for most non-Tico -
ETHNIC restaurants - hence why they tend to be more expensive & not
as "authentic" as some of us are used to.
Also, I find in most of the Indian restaurants I've been to in Costa Rica, they tend to give you SMALL portions - like in the photo above & they're QUITE EXPENSIVE•$$$$!!! I'm talking 4,000-9,000-colones•$8-$18 PER DISH EASILY!!! It's not so bad if you have the $$$$ - OR - if you go with a few friends & dine "Chinese-style" where you all share each dish & get a little of this & a little of that!! So bring LOTS of $$$$!!!
