The Delhi Brasserie — Restaurant in London

We walked in at 10:45 pm, it was one of very few options available at that time of the day. We were five but only two of us wanted to eat a full meal since they just landed. I told the waiter about the situation as soon as we walked in, and they gave us a table. We picked our dishes, which included a bunch of sharing plates and some drinks for the rest of the party who had already eaten. At that point, the waiter said that each person has to spend at least £15 on food. We explained the situation once more, but he wanted us to order at least 4 mains. Things didn't improve after we asked to talk to the manager. Since our friends were too hungry and out of options, we decided to let them eat at the restaurant while the remaining three left and waited outside. The staff didn't budge when they saw us walk out. I understand they have this rule to avoid people taking advantage and occupying seats without consuming food, but it was 11 pm on a Monday night with no chance of filling the table that we left empty. If i were running the business I would have preferred to see a happy customer rather than blindly enforce a rule. Those who proceeded with the meal said that the food was ok but portions were ridiculously small. Generosity is not a thing in this restaurant. We overheard a couple at the table next to us going through the same argument, because the girl only wanted to order a side...

I ate here last week with friends. The food is good, but the hygiene standards are very low. So the tablecloth which is anyway only plastic was not even wiped and our waiter coughed all the time and stood very close to me (there is hardly any space in the restaurant, to sit on the bench was impossible even as a slim person without touching other tables). He was obviously sick and didn't even put his mask on/turn around while coughing and sneezing. We were extremely dissatisfied due to the hygiene and since we were very rushed. I just read the first 4 dishes until he penetratingly didn't want to give us any more time to decide. He added his tip directly to our bill - that definitely would not have been so generous.

Today I was tested positive for Corona and since I otherwise wear an FFP2 mask EVERYWHERE (always except when eating/drinking) I am 99% sure that I was infected in this restaurant, incubation time and all makes sense mathematically. You can eat well elsewhere under better/friendlier conditions.

Also paying 3£ for a small portion of rice is just crazy. We spend more money on rice than on the main dish...

So me and my friends came here two days ago for dinner although the place looked good, the waiter was very rude to us we were asking questions to him and he had to wait a bit to which he rudely reacted and told us off rudely and went back to the counter. When we decided to order he was constantly telling us about money that we should think and order as we have to pay for it as well and was constantly telling us about the money 🙄😒 as if we were some thieves. Me and my friends were extremely disappointed by how we were treated by the waiter. He was behaving politely to other customers who were from different culture, I believe we were dealt this way bcz we were Indians or for god knows what reason.

I have no complaints about the food, the taste was good its just the portion is less for the price but I liked the taste.

Highly disappointed by the waiters treatment😒 I believe people come to dine have food they should be treated well with respect.

Won't be coming back here ever again and neither will I recommend anyone it's not worth spending...
