Overall we found the food , quality and service within all the merchant city Indian restaurants we visited to be at very high levels. However there are of course small changes that can be made to these establishments to improve their performance overall.

One way in which this can be done is by increased promotion and marketing of lunchtime offers in order to attract more customers. Furthermore , providing incentives for reviews such as a free cake or cup of tea is an excellent way in which to generate positive publicity and feedback online.
