healthier

Fast food and mall food court Indian restaurants are common in Berlin, and I wouldn't call any of them healthy. Every single one leans heavily on deep-fried everything, covered in flavoured oil disguised as a sauce.

The "fast" in fast food often works against the carefully prepared, fresh ingredients required for a truly healthy and tasty meal.

In lots of ways, it's the same dichotomy as Italian cuisine, where you can get amazing Mediterranean food at a sit-down restaurant, but the fast food variety is usually just greasy pizza or oil with a side of pasta.
