Absolutely Dismal First and Last Visit. Shocking Service and Misleading Menu.
My first experience at this restaurant was nothing short of a disaster, leaving me with absolutely no desire to ever return. From the moment we were seated, the service was appalling and the food, when it finally arrived, was a far cry from what was expected. We were a party of three and initially intended to order two meals to share amongst ourselves, wanting to sample a variety of dishes. However, we were abruptly informed that sharing was not permitted. While we respected this policy, we then decided to simply cancel one of the meals so we could each order different items. It was less than 30 seconds after informing our waiter of this change that he displayed an unbelievably rude and unprofessional reaction. He pulled a face and scoffed, making a distinct "tsk" sound as if our request was a major inconvenience. This behavior was particularly galling considering that we hadn't even received the water we had requested three separate times since being seated.
This display of audacity completely soured our dining mood. Our appetites waned, and we ultimately only ordered a Sambhar Rice and a Curd Rice out of sheer hunger. Even then, our expectations for the quantity were unmet. The portion sizes were shockingly small, especially considering the prices quoted.
The "Sambhar Rice" was particularly disappointing and misleading. It was essentially just gravy mixed with rice, with barely any of the vegetables or lentils one would typically expect in a traditional sambhar. Furthermore, it was served with a meager side of only a few potato chips – a far cry from a substantial accompaniment. The poor service extended beyond the initial order and the waiter's rude reaction. Even before our food arrived, the repeated requests for water were ignored, highlighting a fundamental lack of attentiveness. In conclusion, this was unequivocally the worst dining experience I have encountered to date. The combination of rude and unprofessional service, misleading menu descriptions, and inadequate portion sizes for the price left a deeply negative impression. I would strongly advise others to consider alternative dining options in the area. This establishment clearly needs to drastically improve its service and the quality and accuracy of its...
Read moreWe have arrived at this Restaurant on MG Road Vijayawada at around 9.30 PM on 08Jun 2024. Our waiter was named Das. After food was served there was sudden power outage and since we were at corner of the restaurant we thought it was a general thing. But after few minutes we could smell something burning and fuming and one of us stepped out after couple of minutes, just opposite entrance of restaurant on first level the workers were putting off flames on power circuit which was burning. First: Restaurant did not have a fire extinguisher. Second: Management did not care to update what was happening and left us where we were in dark Third: A group of 15-20 people were moved to second level during power outage and there half served food was also shifted and we with a three year old and family of 5 were not even asked to move to safer location.( Before we stepped out and could realise what was happening). We were left to have food while inhaling the plastic burnt fumes as shown in picture and no one from management cared. Four: The waiter Das was so mean that after power resumed, he was telling someone we are half way done with our food and will leave. We a family of farmers respect food by all means and equally respect the process of having food. Five: The last thing I was expecting from management is a Sorry and to deal this situation better and make place safer as per standards. When I questioned them on these aspects, there no sign of regret so I left the location. Six: I was however given 10% discount on my bill, which is not a favour at all.
This experience left us with undoubtedly the worst experience with...
