LordChaverly Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 'Indian' in this context refers to the Indian sub-continent, which includes Pakistan and Bangla Desh (and refers to a type of cuisine), so technically the description is correct.

Not really as it is only the customers that call them indian restaurants. Most of the owners call them Everest, Taj Mahal, or Kashmir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even dining in the upstairs restaurant, these do not fit the description on the tin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
