Title: Most expensive BIRs
Post by: George on July 30, 2007, 10:33 AM

I had a perfectly good meal at the Newick Village Tandoori restaurant in Newick, East Sussex at the weekend. My only surprise was the sky high prices. This place must know what it is doing, though, because it was busy. High prices don't seem to deter the locals around there.

Here are some examples:

Chicken Madras 7.25
Pulao rice 2.95
Bombay aloo 3.95
Chicken biryani 9.95
Chicken tikka starter 4.25

"Service charge NOT included" they say. Oh yeh?

Do you know any/many places which charge more? When you know how little goes into these dishes, you realise what a nice little earner a busy BIR must be. The profit margins must be HUGE!

Regards
George

Can't the default period be increased from 1 or 2 minutes up to, say, 10 mins for edits, please before it sort of reports me for being a naughty boy - like 'ha, ha, George has made mistakes and needed to edit them..."

Regards
George

On the subject of pricing, I'm sorry there's been no interest in this subject. Is it that you all feel these prices are nothing unusual (perfectly reasonable) and/or you have such wealth you don't really mind what you pay?!

I agree that sounds expensive although i have seen these prices around at top end curry houses or the more modern ones you get like 'Royal Tandoori 2' etc.

What I love is when you find a takeaway that does a prawn madras or chicken madras for like ?3.80...it honestly feels like stealing if it turns out to be a good one...he he dint tell the curry man. :P
