Why is Indian food so expensive here in the US now?! I used to spend $17 on an order of butter chicken and maybe an extra $5 for two naans (which was still a bit pricey at the time).

Now, it costs $27 for a simple order of butter chicken and then one naan alone costs $5.

Portion sizes aren't big either and is about enough for one person. The average takeout price for a meal is $35 now.

I love Indian food but it’s been a while since I’ve had it, because it’s just way too expensive for me. I just don’t understand why it’s so expensive.
