No, the weekday lunch is always priced the same amount as the setelilippu(sp?) things. You went on the weekend when it was more.

That was the weekend. I'm talking about when the restaurant re-opens and
has a weekday lunch buffet. The prices will be comparable to the lunch prices
in other restaurants.

For some people, quality is important. For others it's price.

Well Since I can prepare these dishes by myself..Price is more important..and quality comes first....as I already know what is needed to be done and how..
and almost 99% if the time, I end up cooking these dishes ( in their menu and more) myself at home..as it is cheaper and more effecient than driving a long way there..
Weekdays luch buffet might be different but then our Amica restaurant in the premises costs 5 euros for everything( starters, drinks, buffet, dessert, fruits and cofee) :shock: but most times the food kinda sucks..and you get to order a la carte like pizza or beef steak.

Yeah...unfortunately...and that's why NYC is going in this direction:

But the food cost is only a small part of the price of the meal.... rent is a big part of it, salaries too. So a flashy restaurant opposite a posh mall will have to charge more than an ordinary place in a converted fitness centre above a cheap supermarket even before food comes into the equation. A family business will have lower salary costs (because the owners pay themselves out of the profits rather than a salary and they probably do their own cleaning and maintenance etc etc), whereas a restaurant owned by some kind of holding company or a chain will have to pay all its labour costs at the going rate. It is not difficult to make an excellent meal from low cost, seasonal ingredients.

In my experience price is sometimes the most misleading factor in the quality of a meal.... Restaurants change management frequently, many live off an old reputation, the quality goes down but the prices go up.

I totally agree, Penelope. And rent is exactly why Curry Palace hasn't moved into Sello. It's cheaper across the street than inside.

I've just read in some newspaper of Tapiola that Peshawar is the second biggest restaurant in Espoo. I wonder, what is number one then? I cannot imagine big restaurants except those lunch chains serving the white collars.

It is BIG. Maybe that water tower restaurant. I recall the one I went to was big.

Could be, I think the tables go all the way round the tower. Otherwise I would guess one of the hotels has a big restaurant (eg the one near the police station in Kilo, or the new one near Sello)... but as I never go in any of them, not sure. But otherwise, the canteen in Nokia House Keilaranta must serve more meals per day than any restaurant in Espoo!

The Colonial Kitchen at Scandic Espoo is pretty big. It's right around the same size as Peshawar, but more spread out. It's difficult to judge between the two.

I like it, cept for the price..and so would not go there that often as compared to Satkar.
