Thakkara Restaurant Salmiya — Restaurant in Salmiya

At the very outset, let me tell you that if you are looking for a review of the food, you are reading the wrong review. That is because I never got to the point of sampling their food. Let me start from the beginning - Being a foodie, it was my misfortune that I decided to go to Thakkara restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. After loitering around for a parking space for 10 minutes, I finally found a spot a bit far away and walked over to the restaurant accompanied by my wife and daughter. Once we reached, we waited for about 20 minutes to be seated. After being seated, it took almost 10 minutes for the staff to come and clean and reset the table. After that we waited another 5 minutes to have the waiter come over to our table to take our order.

When we asked to see the menu, we were informed that there is only Biryani and a couple of other things available. Which kind of biryani, I asked? I wanted to see at least a description of what I was about to eat. The waiter did not seem to be interested to furnish me even with a menu pamphlet. Visibly frustrated and upset, I got up and asked my family to leave with me.

I don't care if they are serving Manna from heaven, I am a paying customer and expected to be treated with some decency. The staff seems to be desperately lacking in...
