Indian Tanpura — Restaurant in New York

I went here to order lunch on a Wednesday afternoon at 1pm. The entire place was empty. I took a look at their lunch specials and decided to order 2 appetizers as opposed to a lunch entree. The waiter looked at me, looked at my order, and then refused to seat me.

"Sorry, we don't do lunch for little things like this. You must order an entree"

I was stunned. My 2 appetizers equaled the same amount as an entree, yet I was being asked TO LEAVE the restaurant while I was the only customer there.
