I usually don’t write much reviews but this was something I didn’t want to miss.

My recent visit to Indie restaurant was nothing short of a nightmare. I would strongly advise anyone considering dining here to proceed with caution. Our experience was marred by the behavior of the manager, whose actions were utterly disgraceful.

From the moment we entered, it was clear that something was amiss. The manager was shockingly rude, she seemed determined to ruin what should have been a special birthday dinner. Her passive-aggressive comments were incessant and entirely unprofessional.

The most outrageous part of our ordeal was when she inexplicably insisted that we remove our 2-year-old baby from the premises. This was done without any valid reason and left us feeling humiliated and utterly bewildered.

To add insult to injury, the manager resorted to baseless stereotypes, suggesting that all Norwegians share her rude demeanor. This was not only offensive but a blatant attempt to justify her unacceptable behavior.

Having traveled extensively across Europe and even spent time in Norway, I can confidently say that I've never encountered such appalling service. This restaurant's management should be deeply ashamed of allowing such behavior to tarnish their establishment.

In conclusion, my experience at this restaurant was a complete disaster, thanks to the manager's reprehensible conduct. I strongly advise diners to steer clear of this place if they value respectful treatment and a pleasant...

writing this review to warn others about the horrible experience we had at Indie Restaurant. The manager was extremely rude to us the entire time, and the food was not good at all.

The manager came over to take our orders, and she was already rude. She snapped at us when we asked about the menu, and she seemed annoyed that we had a child with us which was very shocking.

The manager continued to be rude to us throughout the meal. She rolled her eyes at us and she even made a comment about how our child was too loud which was absolutely not the case

We were so disgusted by the manager's behavior and the bad food that we decided to leave early. When we asked for the bill, the manager was even more rude. She lacked basic courtesy and needs to go back to school and learn some manners.

I would not recommend Indie Restaurant to anyone, especially if you have children. The manager is extremely rude and unprofessional, and the food is bad.

Avoid this place...
