The manager of a popular Leeds city centre restaurant is “scared” of inflation as it continues to rise and rear its ugly head, doubling the prices of their produce.
To add insult to injury, the electricity bills at Tharavadu in Mill Hill, by Leeds Train Station, have quadrupled in the past six months. Manager Siby Jose, 42, has said the bills have increased from £1,500 a month to £7,000.
The sheer size of the South Indian restaurant has been working to their advantage, fortunately. They’d revamped the upstairs so they can serve 150 diners at any given time which has proven more cost efficient, so they haven’t had to increase menu prices yet.
