When you eat out at restaurants regularly and without needing to constantly think about value for money - which isn&#x27;t the same as to say always eating at places like the Ivy - it&#x27;s easy to stereotype based on your experiences, and in some ways can be beneficial in that it can help you pick places you&#x27;ll like. Somewhere that looks very plain doesn&#x27;t automatically mean bad food just as stylish furniture doesn&#x27;t automatically mean good food, but it can often suggest something to you before you&#x27;ve eaten there. If I saw somewhere like Raavi Kebab then sure I&#x27;d think it more likely than not to be somewhere to get cheap, not-great food because more often than not, that&#x27;s the case with places that look like that. It doesn&#x27;t mean I wouldn&#x27;t be willing to try it if someone like you recommended it, or if it had good reviews online.<p>Of course there are people who care about the status thing, but for most people it&#x27;s more about a shortcut to making decisions.
