# The Curry Lane Restaurant: Agent-Direct Score D (40%) Site: http://www.thecurrylane.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thecurrylane.com Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Curry Lane Restaurant is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open The Curry Lane Restaurant's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Zomato, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: +97143967171 ## What to fix first ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Dubai, 15% of comparable sites declare one. - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Booking only through zomato.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Curry Lane Restaurant > local business (indian) in Wasl Ivory Building - Shop No.3 - Al Doha St - near Karama Post Office, 42998, دبي, Dubai.
