True, there are too many mediocre curry places around in any case.
I tried 6 around our area, Crystal Palace, before settling on a Nepalese. They are the dogs.
There'll be a reason for that...(and to give you a clue, it involves dogs).

Spent months in India since the late 80s, so know good curried food.
It's only a problem if we have a shortage of such places and as far as I can see we don't. On the rare occasions I go for a curry round here customers seem rather sparse and that was true in other places when I was still contracting. In Tower Hamlets the council had to try and address the health problems of far too many take aways.
The UK economy is not benefited by a plethora of struggling little ethnic businesses if our welfare has to supplement low wages that are inadequate to support a family.
What a load of rubbish. There's more than enough curry houses in the UK and more than enough Asians to have a good supply of students with a background of Asian cuisine to provide trainees.
Silly.
No South Asian parent who holds a British passport would allow their child to be a chef as it's hard work and not respectable.
They are fine if the child runs businesses but to actually be the chef isn't on.
Have a word with a few of the staff at your local restaurants and takeaways. You will find a lot of British Asians at the front of the house and they will tell you proudly where the chef is from.
This issue has been brewing for years. So much so the beeb did a program on a resturant taking on apprentices. It was some form of competition. Out of the few who got taken on, only one guy lasted. He was a white teenager. The rest including British Asians found the work far too hard.
