TLBV Is there a reason you specifically think an Indian restaurant is preferred over another kind? Given the number of curry houses on the lane already, none of which are excellent consistently, there may be room for either a genuinely excellent balti house, OR a southern indian restaurant which does meat (a la Ganapati) But if you are looking to open a restaurant in general, I think there is more room for success if you open a good restaurant which provides something different to the area Vietnamese Chinese a la Silk Road in Camberwell, rather than the traditional cantonese/peking styles Mexican Italian But they should be good and not just churning out basics
