While the menu and cuisine are the most important choices when opening an Indian restaurant, the ambiance you create with the restaurant's decor will also contribute to your success. Because Indian cuisine covers a wide geographical and chronological area, you may wish to focus on a particular region or even a particular era of Indian history when selecting artwork, colors and uniforms. Strive for authenticity in your decor and avoid cheap cliches that your guests might find offensive or disrespectful.
