My acid test for a good Indian restaurant these days is: "does the vindaloo blow your head off, or is it the Goan original?" Which is piquant and spicy but not incendiary.
So far I've had vindaloo in two restaurants -- one in Edinburgh and one in Dublin -- that meets the criteria. Mostly, though, it has become code for "the hottest thing in the house". Which is sad.
