Bollywood tandoor — Restaurant in Lyon

How does a restaurant with decent food get a 1-star rating? Combine waiting over an hour for food that arrives cold, waiting another half hour for the food to arrive slightly warmer, in a dining room that's filled to capacity (about 20 people), with the front door completely shut, during a pandemic (we waited outside, and opened the door). Add to this kitchen staff visible from the dining room working without masks, a useless co-owner who offers a smiley apology for the cold food and the other mentioned problems by saying that he and his staff are humans, not machines, and blames the government for not having educated him about the dangers of a full dining room full of maskless customers with the door closed during a pandemic (not to mention the fully occupied, air-conditioned, windowless and doorless basement). And all of the above has to be paid for by cash or check (the paper one from the nineties...), while it's not announced anywhere visible the fact that he doesn't take Visa or Mastercard.

The only small suggestion would be to talk little bit less so that people don't have to queue to pay. Overall a...

As an Indian who has lived abroad for several years, I was shocked to find Palak Paneer without ANY paneer in it. I understand spice levels cannot be at Indian level but how can you serve palak paneer without paneer? What you served was palak saag at best. If you are serving palak saag, then have the basic decency to call it that. Do not fool customers by calling it something else just because you're in a foreign country. The palak was not even pureed. A simple YouTube search will show you that palak paneer is basically made of pureed spinach and paneer which is Indian cheese. This owner is Indian and so there's no excuse to serve this...
