In The Ghetto?

There are food biases that determine that some "ethnic" food have to be cheap while mainstream (some of which were "ethnic" a few decades back) can charge more. So after returning to Kabab House near Bloor and Dufferin on Monday, I'm conflicted about my lunch there.

On the one hand, halal meat probably costs more as an ingredient. Also, the beef curry I had was fragrant and tasty. And yet the dish was a small bowl accompanied by a huge pile of rice. There definitely wasn't enough entrée, and the presentation was a bit unappetizing. From a food/price ratio, you can get more bang for the buck at several other places along this block. So do I keep supporting this new restaurant or go back to those cheaper joints? It's a dilemma.
