For me:

- The service at the Indian restos I've visited has been a wierd
combination of servile - condescending

- Most of the time I've found the owners try to pad the bill in some
way -- even for a cheapo lunch boo - fay

- Hygiene "issues" ('though this can happen with any place; the most
blatant violations I've seen have been at Indian joints)
