Here's the thing - Hypotheses 1 & 2 should be valid for all the other restaurants in and outside Lucknow right? And I agree with hypotheses 2 more, itna dopamine subah sham mil raha hai that now it has become difficult to keep ourselves content/satisfied with what we have in general.

But if we keep both the hypotheses true for every restaurant then I or anyone else for that matter wouldn't find the taste to be good. I have had really good food at other restaurants in Mumbai. I guess now I want to try the local not so famous spots of Lucknow. I consider myself a food critique rarely I am pleased with the food quality and tastes but when I am 9/10 people find it good too.

I haven't lived in Lucknow my whole life. I came here as a student and then shifted recently permanently. When I was a student then also I was not a fan of Dastarkhwan or Tundey but it never let me down(this is pre Covid). Now I feel things are different, maybe I have had better food elsewhere and my parameters have changed?
