Read moreI’m writing to report an extremely disappointing and uncomfortable experience during my recent visit to Ching Lung, Koramangala.
From the beginning, the service was concerning. We were denied regular drinking water and were told to place an order for bottled water — a clear violation of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976, which requires establishments serving food to provide drinking water free of charge.
The overall service was slow and inattentive. A major issue occurred when one of the items we ordered was not served but still included in our final bill. When we raised this discrepancy, the staff failed to resolve it. Upon asking to review CCTV footage to clarify the situation, the management refused. Instead, the manager (who identified himself as Rahul) made a highly inappropriate and insulting remark — “You might be hiding the item.” This accusation was not only baseless but deeply disrespectful.
Additionally, when we exercised our right to request removal of the service charge, the waiter appeared visibly irritated. While I was holding the bill, he attempted to take it from my hand without permission. In doing so, his hand came uncomfortably close to my chest. Despite me asking him three times to maintain distance, he dismissed my concerns and walked off rudely.
At every step, instead of acknowledging our concerns or attempting a resolution, the staff responded with blame, hostility, and unprofessionalism. We left the restaurant feeling humiliated, disrespected, and extremely upset.
I sincerely hope the management reflects on this feedback and takes immediate steps to train staff on basic service etiquette, customer safety, and lawful conduct. No customer should ever be made to feel unsafe or accused in...
Read moreGood spot for going out with your friends for some reasonably priced food and drinks. Smoking is allowed here and the crowd is sure provide an ambiance for a casual chatty night with your friends with some smokes/food. Presentation and service with class is not their forté but dining here is worthwhile with friends.
The shots here are colourful and what I tried were the Blue Kamikaze, Cranberry Cookie, Silver Bullet. They are all 30ml shots so you'll probably need 2 to get some hit. Food is good especially the Chicken Hyderabadi Curry which went great with some Naan. The Non-veg platter, fries platter and other starters were also good. Food wise no complaints.
One thing I noticed here is that the presentation is not the best and everything seems like it has been slapped onto the plate at rocket speed although the food is good. The fries platter looked haphazard with some fries end up more seasoned than others. Hara Bhara Kebab seemed to have an obvious dose of food colouring. Shots don't come with the ring of salt on the lip. Service is somewhat similar and it's a bit slow sometimes and miscommunication did happen since some of the staff is new.
Pro tip: Get yourself a seat on the first floor balcony which is well ventilated since a lot of people will be smoking. AC is pretty much useless here everything feels stuffy inside. If you have parked your two wheeler on the road be careful since it clearly says that its a no parking zone. However if you have followed point number 1 then you can keep an eye for towing vehicle. Service is not the best so make sure to communicate with your...
