Inda-Bar — Restaurant in Geneva

I usually would never badmouth a place unless my experience has been terrible and INDA-BAR was one such terrible experience. Firstly, decided to take some visitors here on Diwali day only to get our night and festival completely ruined.

1. 45 mins to get the table during second service. We had a table booked for 9:15pm and they kept telling us that they will take "1minute" to get the table ready and it wasn't ready even in 45 mins. We heard so many empty sorries. Their best excuse was that there was "supposedly" very famous actor on our table??? WTH. The manager/server told us he was sending us some naan while we waited. NOTHING CAME

2. Half items on the menu were finished by the time we got our table: Finally the famous actor gave the table up and then when we placed the order, they told us that half the dishes were over. They were literally over with everything we wanted to eat. if you know you have 2 services, you plan accordingly. How can you finish with Biryani or the lamb curry when that's what you are known for. For heavens sake! That was super annoying

3. Our food took more than an hour to come. They got us 2/5 dishes within 15 mins (without any cutlery or naan ). There was soooooo much confusion regarding our order that i had to walk over to the manager who again kept saying sorry without any tangible solutions. He tried to tell me that his server had messed up the order and i had to repeat our order after waiting already for an hour ! so there goes another 20-30 mins of waiting for our food. Honestly so frustrated by this point

4. Awful hospitality: You know when the restaurant knows they've screwed up big time, they try to make it up to you. Maybe a free dessert / maybe take some things off the bill. Now I'm not saying this is important but these are tools that restaurants use to make the diner feel like heard and actually feel sorry for how they have treated their guests. But Inda-bar! No. My friend literally had to tell them that there was no remorse for how they treated us and how there were 0 attempts made to try and make up for it! then they got back the bill with a meagre discount.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. I really hope the staff wasnt being racists because we had heard from some friends that they felt certain vibes when they went. Our festival night was definitely ruined. Also there is something about an Indian restaurant where not a single server is Indian/ chefs were not indian/ nobody dining there was Indian (apart...

Pros: Food is very tasty and is presented well. Nice vibe. Cons: Found out that dinner service was in two shifts (the person who answered the phone when I made reservations neglected to pass on this VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR). At dinner I remember mentioning to my friends that the hostess was overly zealous and checking in on us every 45 seconds. I found that disruptive and we couldn’t enjoy our meal in peace. This made sense when at 8:55 pm, she handed us our check and said that our table was reserved for another group. This was 1hr and 25 minutes after we arrived. Of course I was completely taken aback and asked what she was talking about, as none of this was mentioned to us when we arrived (or on the phone). I asked to speak to the manager and he claimed I had spoken to him and he told me that service was two hours . It was an exhausting back and forth of “I told you dinner is two hours,” and me saying no one told me. Anyhoo, he saw the exasperation written all over my face and said that “this time”, he would let it slide and to note that for future reference that dinner service was split in two shifts. Needless to say, this debacle put a damper on the rest of the evening. He “ameliorated” the situation by offering us a free round of drinks. All this to say, if you plan on having a non rushed and enjoyable dinner, this is not the place to be. However , if your sole purpose for the evening is to eat dinner in a rush and go elsewhere, then this...

We went for dinner today at 7.30 pm. The restaurant became bigger as they took over the old kasbar restaurant and the ambience was nice. The food was average and the quality was not as good as it used to be before. The worst thing is the service. They take so long to take the order and the team is not well organized (just 1 person for 5 tables and the person was so messy)! I still cannot believe the waiter asked us to keep the main dish cutleries for the dessert as he did not want bring new ones! However, there was a nice Moroccan employee who was kind enough to offer us a nice dessert as we were not really happy with the food and service (and he did not make us pay for one of the dishes that was extremely cold almost frozen). Not sure I will be back and I would not really recommend it.

Also something was really annoying, the restaurant is small and there is no place to take your jackets. You basically have to put it on the couch where there is...
