What happens when you get people from one origin, cooking food for another origin/culture? You get mixed taste that are sometimes great but at times shocking !
In this case, Mauritian ppl selling “Authentic Middle Eastern food” . I ordered Lamb Mandi with Rice . What do you get ? Big piece of lamb meat and some rice .

If your prices change you need advise them before they order not for them to find out after they tap their card. It’s not the $2 that has troubled me. It’s the morale that when you order both the shop and the customer should know the price and it shouldn’t change. I don’t recall a time where I’ve bought something and just as I pay the price increases randomly when no more value for what I’m getting has come with it. It’s the same thing for a higher price. It makes no...
