Why are Indian takeaway food so expensive in Ireland?

tecknika

Is there a reason why Indian food in Ireland so expensive here. I have made many trips to Manchester and Liverpool many times and always enjoy going for Indian food, its good value and the prices on an average Restaurant/Take Away are around 1/3 of that of an average suburban Restaurant/take away in Ireland. Is this due to having a small Indian population compared to the UK because the population here has increased a fair bit as has the number of Indian places yet the prices are still really high.

Well most of the better of them tend to have far bigger menus than Chinese or traditional takeaways and need to pay for all the stuff the you might order.

Y'know that cheap Indian restaurant you ate in over in Liverpool? Well that wasn't chicken in the tikka masala.

Nice though

Because that's just wrong on every level?, go graze the front lawn if you're lacking veggie options

because most often, we dont have Indian takeaways, we have Indian restaurants that offer takeaway

I'd rather pay the extra euro or two least know foods on a different level to most of the muck the average chinnese takeaway serves.

Paying more doesn't let you know anything of the sort.

You could try and learn how to cook some of your favourite dishes yourself? Much cheaper. The takeaways use a lot of oil, so probably healthier too.

Can they not just pick the lumps of beef out then?

Señor Fancy Pants

Why are there no Irish take aways?! Huh, huh?!

There's nothing I'd like more at 3am, locked, than a nice corned beef sandwich! Better still, a big bowl of coddle with slices of white buttered bread. Or, or, or a bacon, cabbage and mashed spuds wrap with brown sauce!

Ive found your average Indian takeaway is nearly always better quality then average Chinese.

No they probably wouldn't want to do that.

There's a snobbish perception here about how much higher quality a fast food like Indian takeaway is compared to a fast food like Chinese takeaway so the former costs a lot more.
