A restaurant bill from 1985 shows how much food would cost at that time. Many were stunned to see the cost of the bill.
These days, eating from outside can turn out to be an expensive affair. A meal for two generally may cost us around ₹1000 or even more. Even though some don't mind spending this much, it could be difficult for others to pay so much. While seeing such high bills is common these days, have you ever wondered what the cost of dishes might be around four decades ago? Well, allow us to tell you.
