British Sikh moving to Turin

Hello Mrsingh-uk,

Welcome to Expat.com!

Hi Christine

Thank you for the warm welcome

Did a lot of you have some anxiety before you actually moved?

Please share your experiences as I am going through this stage


Thanks

Hello! I'm British and have been here a long time. Thee are now some Indian restaurants (run by Pakistanis), not all good. BUT the Gandhi, Corso Regio Parco, is good, and run by 2 Indian brothers, name Patel. You could start there!

Hi Mr Singh

I am a South African and have lived in Torino for about 5 years. 
While, now I love my life here, the beginning is a bit tough.  Torinese (the locals born and bred) are famous for being (chiuso - closed) and it takes a while to make real friends.  There are a few expat meetup groups that meet weekly in Turin, for drinks, dinners or whatnot. 
As for an Indian community, I am not so sure BUT there is a network of shops in the area where I live (San Salvario - which has a high immigrant population), where you will find all the spices and food stuffs you need.  There are a few shops run by Pakistanis, Bangladeshi guys and Indian...   you have quite a few to choose from.  As for the Indian restaurants.....   it has been tough finding a good one, which has not Italianised its menu!

My tip is to give Turin time, try to scratch below the surface of the city, get a bicycle and cylce around on weekends, get out and meet people, locals and expats... the city will grow on you bit by bit (it is very beautiful). 
Good luck, if you need any other info, let me know.
Mya
