When you eat out at restaurants regularly and without needing to constantly think about value for money - which isn't the same as to say always eating at places

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