We went to Aashiyana with friends on Saturday, and had a very bad experience. While the food at Aashiyana is good, the experience wasn't.
The serving lady was rude, which she was the last time we went as well. We were having a nice meal when my 1 year old woke up all cranky, and efforts to soothe her weren't helping. A little while later, the serving lady came upto us and asked us, in her usual rude manner, to get the baby to quiet down because their guests were getting disturbed. I assume she was talking about the guests in their banquet hall because the diners in the restaurant did not seem affected. Kids cry, that's what they do. My husband, a little annoyed with her "request" said that we were doing all we could, we don't enjoy our baby crying either. There were four kids at our table, none of them running around, none of them being rowdy, just one who was crying- something that kids do!
Once the meal ended, however, and it was time to leave, our friend asked to see the manager to tell them about this incident, and the manager, instead of apologizing, started telling us how to parent by telling us that he saw us and we did nothing to calm the baby down (Umm...hello?! We took her out, but we don't owe you an explanation), and how when his kids were little he always knew how to handle their crying and, among other things, he said 'agar bache paalne nahin aate toh paida kyun karte hain' (If you don't know how to raise kids, why do you have them?). That was the worst! Nobody is allowed to say something like that to anyone, ever!
I have to say that we have dined with our kids at many different places, some fancy, some not, and we have never been spoken to this way, or been told to get our kids to quiet down when they cried. This has got to be our worst experience ever. Aashiyana had no signs that said children under a certain age weren't allowed there. If you allow children in, you're a family restaurant, and this is what happens when families dine at your restaurant- kids cry- and as a restaurant that caters to everyone, you have got to deal with it.
Very upsetting experience. Never going back there. If the management is reading this, please train your staff better, and ask them to keep their parenting opinions to...
Read moreI recently had a dining experience at this restaurant where we ordered multiple items spent $145. One of the dishes was Paya (cow feet curry). Unfortunately, we found multiple hairs in it, indicating that the meat was not properly cleaned. This was quite disappointing.
We also ordered the vegetable biryani, but it did not meet our expectations in terms of taste and quality. Moreover, there were several items on the menu that were unavailable, which was a bit frustrating. Food was not freshly cooked.
The cleanliness of the restaurant was average, and upon entering, there was an unpleasant odor that created a negative atmosphere. Furthermore, when it came time to pay, the server asked for a $20 tip, which I personally believe was inappropriate.
I would like to request the management to thoroughly check the restaurant and prioritize hygiene. It is essential to ensure that customers receive proper service, with fresh and well-cooked food. The ingredients used in the dishes should be properly cleaned as well. Lastly, it is unacceptable to serve leftover salad to subsequent customers. Additionally, two of our family members experienced stomach issues after...
Read moreExcellent Pakistani Food. Excellent Beef and Chicken Dishes. Much better than several restaurants in the neighborhood. I have eaten at all of them many times. The above remarks are from late 2016 or early 2017. Same management stills runs the place. I dont think they have ever repainted it.
October 24, 2018 I called ahead and inquired about daily specials Paya was recommended. I asked if there were beef pieces in it I was told "Absolutely".
There was not a shred of beef in the dish. It was most generic and tasteless Payas I have ever eaten. This dish was not bad tasting. It had no taste. It had less taste than a coated aspirin pill.
I conveyed my feelings to another server and asked if I could get a small side order of Dal for a charge, of course. Without the slightest of concern I was told my only option was a full order of Dal.
I had above average food here several times. Don't expect any courtesy. Even if you vomit, the restaurant will insist on full payment and for sure not offer to swap your dish/s. No way, not in this life time.
They may be in United States They have...
