[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Because you ate at an Indian restaurant and there is a ton of racism in people's expectations of food pricing between ethnic restaurants:

2. Because food in general is cheaper in the UK as pay and disposable income are both lower than the US

3. Because you have a sample size of 1 and didn't bother to get any further data.  Rania here in DC is also Michelin starred and only costs $90 for their prix-fixe menu. (70GBP) Tail Up Goat is $130 (101GBP) Whereas there are one-star restaurants in London that are significantly more expensive than the one you went to. Cycene is 195GBP, Kanesaka is a whopping 420GBP.

Is it racist to comment that 95% of Indian food is overspiced brown mush? Because that's what seems like following several trips to India and eating at both low and high end Indian diaspora restaurants (advice: Indian in Dubai is better than Indian in India, although you will get more regional variety in India, even if Dubai is still impressive in what it offers). Still, the dominance of certain cooking styles and flavors are so extensive that I don't see an advantage to high end Indian over regular Indian, I've never had fancy Indian that justified itself over street food Indian when it comes to cost. One can't say that about French or Italian where the gap between low and high end is huge.
