Heat is only one dimension of flavor. Aroma, sweetness, acidity, smoke, and richness all matter just as much.
Choose for balance
If you prefer milder food, start with dishes that still carry spice character through toasted cumin, black pepper, or fenugreek rather than raw heat.
Ask for guidance
The best recommendation often comes from the team serving you. A good suggestion can match your comfort level without flattening the experience.
