How it works
Restaurants catering to Western tourists near Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula charge prices significantly higher than local establishments a few streets back. Some display misleading menus at the entrance with lower prices than those presented at the table, or add service charges and "tourist fees" not mentioned when seated.
