I got served for three consecutive nights:

1. First Night: I ordered Amristari Kulcha: It was amazing and I really cherished the hospitality of Indian servers
2. Second Night: Masala tea was good but Samosa was below average. Again Indian at the counters were very warm
3. Third Night: It was an ordeal: I ordered 1 Amrtsari Kulch + 1 malai Kofta + 1 Naan at around 9.30 pm. The Indian person at the counter told me that it will be ready in 20 mins. But I asked them to deliver it at my hotel which is 300 metres away from the restaurant. Till that moment everything was fine. I called at 21:54 to check the status of my order then someone from European descent picked the call and told m that order will be delivered after 45 mins of placing the order. So I waited and when I called again at 22:23 (53 mins after placing order). The same lady told me that 1) They dont have delivery boy right now so I have to wait 2) She told me that order was placed at 21:50 which was completely wrong and then indirectly told me that I am lying.

I FORGOT TO ADD. THEY TOOK THE MONEY FOR THE FOOD 17.42 EUROS. NEITHER DELIVERED FOOD AND NOR RETURNED MONEY. AND THE BEST PART IS THAT THE RESPONSE BELOW DO NOT CAPRURE THAT FACT.

This is not the kind of service we expect in a country like Greece, whose whole economy is based out of service sector.

There is always a way to accept mistake rather than pointing fingers at the customer.

I would have seriously rated this restaurant 5 out of 5 just for their in house dining. But for their delivery and pathetic customer service by non indian employee, I am giving...

We went to this restaurant after seeing the reviews on google, sadly, we expected much more yummy food since we went the day before to another Indian restaurant that has less rates and was perfect! I usually never give a feedback about restaurants because taste differs from one person to another, but this time it wasn’t only about the taste! We ordered similar dishes of the one that we tasted the day before but we were surprised by the amount of sugar added to the plates, we knew that it’s kind of sweet but we wasn’t expecting that amount of sugar usually it has the sweet taste from the dry fruits and not from adding loads of sugar! Second of all and the most important, we ordered boneless chicken that came raw and when we told the server she wanted to give us another plate but sadly it cut our appetite so we kindly told her that we will pay for the plate and no need to prepare another one. Unfortunately we couldn’t finish our plate because we weren’t sure about the hygiene of the restaurant especially after passing by the kitchen going to the wc i took a look and saw the disaster inside but a guy directly came to hide the view so we couldn’t eat anymore and after all, We paid for all dishes and the raw chicken as well! we aren’t arguing about the fact of paying but as professionals, you can’t make costumers pay for uncooked dish that is returned directly. I hope that this comment will help you to improve your...
