Ludo*1 Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 Firstly, we're in 2024, I thought bread bins went the way of old fashioned fishing ornaments and a wee gold clock that you could see it's gears moving. Secondly, takeaways - Indian restaurants are particularly bad for it but others are just as bad - that put a price against a main and don't include any sides at all within the price. I want my meal all inclusive - give me options - asking for an additional £3 for rice or chips or a naan just makes me feel ripped off. I'm happy to be ripped off otherwise I would be cooking something myself - just give me one price with at least 1 side included so it actually forms the basis of a meal as opposed to just some chicken and sauce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not everyone wants the same sides and not all sides are the same price...and some folk want more than 1 side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add additional sides, of course, but 1 should come as standard like in most other establishments. My go to meal would be some form of curry with pilau rice and a naan. I would assume - but happy to be corrected - that this is what the majority go for. A rice should come as standard then you can edit/add to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Indian places in the States I’ve been to, rice is included in the price of the curry. Which leads one to question that are you getting bumped if you get a biryani?

Possibly back in the day the curry prices included rice but as the restaurants became more sophisticated they realised customers wanted more choices other than curry and rice. Maybe I'm being whooshed but I was told that in the old days you had to take your own pot to put the food in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
