Irving - The place I live. Its a small city in Dallas county, TX.
In one of the Hindi movies, a character says that every fourth person in America is an Indian. In Irving, the person who is coming in the opposite direction, the chances of him/her being an Indian are 80%. I hardly see any American around. After Indians I see Afro-Americans and Mexicans.
I never felt away from India here. Irving is like a mini Vijayawada. Believe me, am not exaggerating.
I have a friend living somewhere in Florida. He has to drive for 60 miles to go to an Indian store. But here in Irving, there is an Indian store/restaurant at every 3 to 400 meters. Not just Indian stores, there are Indian restaurants, Indian tiffin centers, Indian snacks place and a lot.
There are so many Indians in Irving that there is a park called Gandhi Park.
Some of the Indian hangouts are
Our Place - One of the very famous Indian Restaurant.
Hot Breads - It looks like a typical bakery on the road side in Hyderabad.
Other places are Aahar, IndyaFusion, Sarigama, Masala, Chaat Palace, Taj, Mayuri, Rice&Spice, Rice 1 Roll, Swadeshi Cuisine, Swadeshi Plaza, Indian Bazar and a lot.
This is one of the reasons Indians prefer Dallas to settle.
