Indian restaurant with takeaway service

Take away delivery are not cheap either

On New Years Eve many more people buy take out. In my Indian restaurant take away is separate from the restaurant itself. There are more Indian take outs only nowadays because more people eat at home.

Have a take away, take it home. Clearly

Stop visiting.

Yes, this has become a common problem especially with Indian restaurants. It's like sitting in a takeaway with chairs rather than a restaurant. The constant door opening and ensuing draft is something I hate when eating in particular and the helmeted drivers lurking around the bar area don't add to the ambience either. But, restaurants have got to make a living so I don't know what the answer is.

Our local one has a separate reception area from the main restaurant, any deliveries they make are from the rear of the kitchen, so it’s fine.

We have experienced that and staff and customers smoking at the entrance. We really don’t bother as we asked to be moved twice because of the draft caused by the door constantly opening.

Friends and family have all decided it’s far more relaxed in our homes. More table room, don’t have to worry if we get a bit boisterous 😂 No waiting, drinks are a lot cheaper.
When finished flop on the sofas in the sitting room.

Yep same here with Inidan restaurants even some Chinese and Thai

We experienced that on a regular basis in an Indian we used to go to on a regular basis, the food was excellent but we got so fed up we stopped going, and this was over 8 years ago.

Yes we've had exactly the same experience lately in a couple of our favourite Indian restaurants. Apparently with more people eating at home and using delivery couriers it's a growing problem. It's not cheap to eat out nowadays and frustrating to feel your custom isn't valued isn't it ?

New Years Eve.
