As a former restaurant owner I can tell you it is a lot of work to make money in the food biz. Maybe you know this, but you want to have a tight business plan or else you are going to work like crazy for very little profit. If you want to charge reasonable prices you are going to have to do serious volume.

With the prices that most Indian restaurants charge here I suspect that they make enough from just one table of four per day to cover all their bills and give themselves a fancy pension as well. Indian restaurant prices here are absurdly high.

I would hazard a guess you have never run a restaurant.

Quite right. When I was working I ran successful and very popular businesses that showed a very good profit without overcharging or being empty most of the time.

I can eat Indian food better and cheaper just about anywhere in SE Asia and even in London than I can here. This shows that Indian restaurants here are simply looking for the gravy train. And that's why they are empty most of the time. It really is that simple.
