My daughter and a close family friend decided to drop in for dinner last Sunday. I had been to this restaurant a year ago and had quite liked it then.
However, this time the experience was terribly disgusting! First of all the waiter who served us did not understand English and had to be addressed in Hindi all the time...which really wasn't a bother for me as I'm very comfortable with my National language. However, how do you explain Chef's Special Roast Chicken in Hindi!!
Anyway, we ordered for a beer and a long island. Both came together, was delivered and the waiter, whose name was Shyam, quite shamelessly walked away without opening the beer bottle! We had to call him back and then he directed another waiter to open the bottle.
We then ordered the main course which included my Chef's Special Roast Chicken. While everything ordered came on time, my Roast Chicken took a little longer. But when it finally appeared it was stone cold! I called Shyam and told him it was cold and he then lifted the plate felt underneath and replied in Hindi that it was hot because the bottom of the plate was warm!!!!
The rest is not worth talking about. The Manager who came to the rescue was brilliant. After having spoken to us, and admonishing the waiter, he took away the bowl of onions and pickles that had come along with what my daughter had ordered without even asking her!!!
Ye Gods...
footloose
