Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

Season 5 Episode 7: Curry Lounge

The 110-seater Curry Lounge in Nottingham cost its owner, Raz, £500,000, but six months after opening, it's haemorrhaging £3,000 a week. Maybe customers are put off by the decor, unkindly but accurately described by Gordon Ramsay as looking like the interior of a lap-dancing club. Raz has made a rod for his restaurant's back, thanks to the barmy idea of letting customers choose the make-up of their own curries. Yes, that's right, if you want a chicken and prawn korma, that's what you shall have. But such nonsense is draining and demoralising for the excellent kitchen staff, so Ramsay brings the Curry Lounge back to basics in one of the most satisfying Kitchen Nightmares of recent memory. Everyone is charming, so Ramsay doesn't need to bluster too much; he can get on with bringing his skill and common sense to bear on a restaurant that's about to run out of luck.
