There are plenty of other places which are an even bigger rip off. A place relatively close to me has started charging €8 to deter people outside of the main town from ordering. However, the fact that they’re charging nearly €20 for just a main dish with literally nothing else and then almost a fiver for rice is genuinely disgraceful.
I get people don’t want to limit themselves when they don’t want to cook and often just cave, but continuing to pay these ridiculous prices is exactly why they’re still charging what they are.

Yeah my local china shop have giving up on the chips or rice coming with the dish.
Getting very stupid out there. Its 20+ euro to take care of myself thats before ordering for the rest of the family. My wages barely moved since the days 20 euro would get the family and guest sorted.
Things have gone up 3-4 fold while my wage has an extra euro

One of my local takeaways started doing this during covid. Never ordered from them again after years of buying food there.

Anyone here work in a takeaway and and known if this is the unfiltered cost of stuff or are places taking the piss ontop of price increases?

I earn a good wage and I spend stupidly a lot of the time. But I’ll rarely order rice as we always have shed loads of it and it’s cooked quicker than anything else is delivered. Just throw the saucepan in the dishwasher. It’s no effort. 12 euro on rice or 2 mins work. Just doesn’t make sense to me

Is that a delivery site or their actual website? The delivery service could be adding more money

Honestly, it’s not bad. People comparing to pre-covid levels, it has been 6 years. Minimum wages increased over 40%, fuel/rent/ingredients cost skyrocketed. Prices will keep going up.

I never buy rice for Indian. I either throw on brown rice if I’ve time or I have a couple of those microwaveable rice yokes for an emergency. Saves a fortune. I don’t mind paying for peshwari naan because there is effort there.
I defo remember the time when Indians would give rice free with a main. Rice is incredibly cheap and it is fncking insulting to be charged that much.

That’s standard. Rice for €1? A long time ago maybe.

Im shocked people are still even buying takeaways. Complete rip off for past couple of years.
Can literally get a weeks shop instead.

This happened with Indian food in the last couple of years and they’re just seeing how much they can get away with. Worth just making your own rice at this stage and just getting the curry if you’re feeling flush.

Have seen this in Vienna as well. Was at the restaurant, if you refuse to buy the extra rice for 3 to 4€ the owner furiously shouted several times „no rice“ in the kitchen while loudly talking to the staff. Like he was outraged about how someone could refuse to buy the extra rice. Made me feel severely uncomfortable, never visited them again.

buy a rice cooker!

Prices of Indian food in particular are gone through the roof. Chinese you get much better value I find. I’ve just learned to cook some of my favourite Indian dishes instead of paying that for it.
This was a few years back in Dublin, surely no way they’re still in business…

I was on my own the other evening and was going to order a chipper, once I saw the price delivered I decided to go over the road to the pub for my dinner. Cajun Chicken burger, decent portion of chips and a pint for €23 odd. The chipper would have been only slightly cheaper.

Eh, we don’t order out in general, but have mostly stopped ordering Indian takeaways because of this same reason (plus the higher prices too). When we do order, we usually get it from Chinese/Asian takeaways or chippers as they seem to be better value for money. At least with the Chinese ones, plain boiled rice is still free (+ 50c for fried rice, and 1.50-2 for noodles).
Dry-Inspection-3503 on
My local chinese & Indian doesn’t include it anymore, it’s €3 for fried rice, €3.50 for mushroom rice…
Dazzling_Detective79 on
Indian restaurants are such a scam its so sad, €15/20 for a main and €4 for rice like and it just keeps getting worse, sides are €6/10 and naans are about €4 too. i love indian food but the prices make me never want to eat out

Any Chinese I used to order from had boiled rice for free. 50c for chips or fried rice. Now they all have 1.50€ or more charges.
Upper_Armadillo1644 on
I find Indian takeaways can be hit and miss these days but at a premium price.
I find it much better to just go to a restaurant midweek. Usually they’ve a midweek special 2 courses 20 euro works out the same price.
Quiet_Yellow2000 on
Rice that was probably prepared in a rice cooker, and sat their for hours (which is fine, as rice cookers keep it warm just fine for a few hours). So not exactly labour intensive, and the cost to them would be minimal. A ridiculous price.

Boiled rice in xian street food is _€4.50_
What street are you buying your rice on?
It’s a shitty portion of boiled rice to boot
Literally just stopped with takeaways at this stage.
The price for 2 if us coming to nearly €40 for a Chinese, etc even classic takeaway of burger chips and drinks not far off €30.
You’d have it regretted by the time you’ve finished the last mouthful.
It’s terrible food but when it was cheap you didn’t mind as a treat or if you were wrecked after the day.
Now even if I’m fucked I’d rather sit and wait for a couple bits in the air fryer or make a sandwich.
Am I fuck paying restaurant prices for shitty food that that most places keep making smaller and smaller.
It should come with rice included. It’s bonkers you need to pay anything extra for a sauce and nothing to eat it with.
This sort of shite has turned me off takeaways in general.
Hoos rice
