Chef's Garden — Restaurant in Education City

The prices don't justify the food honestly.

I ordered a guacamole crostini that came with 2 poached eggs. If I'm ordering a sandwich I would understand having the guacamole on one side, but if you're going to serve the sandwich opened, having the guacamole on both sides and the tomato/olive salsa type thingy as a side to be added as needed would make more sense. There was not enough guacamole to cover both pieces of bread, and too much of the salsa. Shouldn't be named guacamole crostini, tomato olive with a spread of guacamole crostini would be more appropriate. The eggs were poached perfectly.

A friend who's allergic to salmon, ordered the eggs Benedict (it only comes with a salmon option), and asked them to put the salmon on the side and it was part of the sandwich.. she asked them to change it and the waiter took it to the bar and took the salmon out and re-served it. Also, who serves crisps with bfast. Homestyle potatoes/batata hara style were what we expect - not sure who comes up with the replacements.

Overall not somewhere I can justify spending 50qr for bfast entrees - I think the chef needs to look at the surrounding eateries within a 10km radius and work on improving the...

The main course was blunt and disappointing but the fruit cake & soup was lovely...

The deal breaker was the staff's attitude and poor service, particularly the manager just left a bad taste in our mouths on how several issues were handled from his tone of voice, body language, the worst was.... One of the guests we were with reacted to one ingredient in the soup which was used to garnish and not indicated in the ingredients list as other ingredients had been listed in the menu. Her tongue and throat was inflamed, she requested to cancel her main course order and ordered a drink instead to cool her tongue and throat.

The staff showed no sympathy and concern, the manager only came to the table to tell the guest that she can't cancel her order... Never even stopped to ask how she was.... We protested about his insistence and pointed out that it was unreasonable, noting the ingredient wasn't listed in the menu and her tongue & throat could not handle food.... The manager and the other guy just walked away. We certainly felt unwelcome and will not be going back anytime soon. Better to go to places where respect and appreciation is both ways.... And you can get value for money....

Nice location but ONLY that. The staff had lack of English language, we barely communicated and they were rude because when we asked them if we can smoke outside, they said no, it is not allowed. But when we checked, we saw that everyone else was smoking except us. Then, one of us, light a cigarette and the staff came very rudely and said to us, it is not allowed. We told him, the restriction is only for us? Because everyone else around are smoking. They said nothing.

Also, we asked them, where was the WC and once they showed us one direction and the same time they said not from there but from the opposite side.

They were very poor in service. We asked them if we can seat outside and they said: why you don't seat inside instead?

We told them because we want to seat outside and to be able to watch our babies playing in the playground which was provided outside. They said okay but seemed frustrated because they had to connect 2 tables to fit us all.

I am very disappointed in general with the staff and with their attitude although the place was nice. It is a pity to be so rude staff / poor service, for such a place.

I don't think I will come again or to suggest the place to...
