Pretty odd name for a restaurant ā itās a derogatory term to describe foreigners, like a Greek restaurant named āBarbarosā.
So like a Mexican restaurant named gringos?
Thatās neat! Does it make a difference that they would be the foreigners in my country? Like, are they making fun of themselves?
Edit:
noun: feringhee; plural noun: feringhees; noun: feringhi; plural noun: feringhis

DEROGATORY
(in India and other parts of Asia) a foreigner, especially one with white skin.
Ha! The Navajo have a similar word āBeleganaā. That is a weird name for a restaurant in Mormon town.
It seems to be a term directed at white people, so no, probably notā¦ I donāt speak Hindi, I just remember seeing the etymology of Ferengi a while back. I guess a better (and more modern) comparison would be a restaurant named āFOBsā

lol, they even have feringhee.com
It looks like a pretty decent menu, not just the usual BIR type stuff most places have that all tastes basically the same (not that I usually mind.)
I would definitely eat there if I were in town. Being called a pejorative would be a small price to pay for delicious Indian cuisine.
