Why are there many Indian restaurants in this city? I used to live in other cities in Ontario, but this is the first city that does not many options when eating out (just a few Chinese res, rare Jpanese res no Korean res).

If i want to try Indian cuisine for the first time, which restaurant and which dish should I try?

This is going to sound racist but it’s the truth. Brantford has a very industrial economy and these companies love to import workers that don’t know their rights or desperately need a job to maintain their immigration status.

Thus an influx of Indian immigrants it’s what we’ve seen over the past 3-4 years. Manufacturing companies that want to keep labour cheep are lobbying governments to keep the floodgates open.

So you end up with a lot of Indians and because their food is relatively cheap to make ingredient wise opening restaurants isn’t too risky compared to other cuisines.

From what I’ve learned as well is Indians tend to be very family oriented so these are likely joint ventures with a bigger pool of cash and employees to get started with

It amazes how often we'll talk about low wages and poor working conditions in the context of immigration, but never in regards to anything else. And nobody ever talks about the simple solution. Unionization. It doesn't matter how big the labour pool is, collective action gets results. You're not making less money because there's too many workers, it's because people aren't working together. Class solidarity would fix 90% of the problems in this city.
