With soaring inflation I hope people will cut their eating out expenses and that should make these restaurants come to reality and hopefully cut prices or give more for same money..Shrinidhi Handehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-54199400540369468942008-09-04T09:47:00.000+05:302008-09-04T09:47:00.000+05:30Nidhi,Absolutely right.

But that also does not deter the people as they consider it a matter of prestige to go to such restaurants.Raveesh Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898028390727186228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-55996861423910068192008-09-04T07:47:00.001+05:302008-09-04T07:47:00.001+05:30'Meri Muh ki baath cheen li'So true.

Even the road side dhabas are better. at least they serve hot,<BR/><BR/>Coming to US, realised that yes it could be fun at times to eat out and try different dishes. But alas !! not great option for desi food.<BR/><BR/>BTW, have you ever tried cooked rice soaked overnight in light salted water with mango pickle. Aha.. Its been ages... since i had it but after reading this am so longing for it :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-61716928693126711322008-09-03T15:03:00.000+05:302008-09-03T15:03:00.000+05:30Even I avoid high end restaurants but because of t...Even I avoid high end restaurants but because of the hole they burn in my pocket!

If somebody puts a price of Rs 500 per dish, then you get only the crowd you are targeting. But if you price it at Rs 10 every tom dick and harry walks in. So what sort of business they want to run is up to them. And we should go where we are comfortable. <BR/><BR/>I don't go to high end just because i don't gel in that environment. I need to shed my ego and work on that.Sivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857646460687310849noreply@blogger.com
