I don't like the conversation to feel contrived. I think I just like to feel that my custom is wanted for that visit, that I'm welcome and belong there for the duration of my meal and that I'll be welcome again. Food and service has a huge impact - if the staff aren't rude and I leave feeling great about some nuance of the meal, then I'm not fussed about whether they asked if I'll be back. Too much pressure, being asked when I'll be back. I'm too polite to lie and what if I don't think I will be? :-) I’d rather not have people talk to me too much at a restaurant and I’m not sure I feel genuine when answering the ‘Did you enjoy your meal?’ question either.

Good food (if you like Indian vegetarian). Good prices. Good service. But I recommend going later in the evening when it is busier and the owner has more people to bother =).
