Refused my service dog not ada compliment .. " How to Handle a Service Dog in Your Restaurant Medical Service Dog out in Public working At times, restaurant owners may feel uncertain about how to handle situations in which a disabled individual with a service animal wishes to enter the premises. It is essential for every business owner to understand their rights and responsibilities when it comes to allowing animals into their establishment.

What is a Service Dog? Service animals are defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as any dog that has been trained to perform specific tasks to mitigate the challenges of an individual’s disability. Therapy dogs, emotional support dogs, and companion dogs are not protected under the ADA and have no public access rights. If someone is accompanied by a service animal into your restaurant, it is important to remember that this animal is not a pet; it is a medically essential part of the individual’s daily life and should be treated as such. Service dogs are permitted access to all public spaces. The only exceptions would be sterile environments like a surgery room or places where their health could be affected like an x-ray room. Service dogs should not be taken to certain zoos exhibits, where their presence could stress out the animals.

Am I Required to Allow a Service Animal into My Restaurant? Under the ADA, restaurant owners must legally allow service animals into their establishments. This means that you cannot refuse entry to a person with a service dog based on your own personal beliefs or your concerns for health and food safety rules.

Additionally, denying access or charging extra fees for customers with service animals can result in legal penalties. You cannot segregate the person and their service dog to a specific place in the restaurant. They should be treated like any other customer when entering your...

This was a pretty good indian buffet with the usual dishes, rice, dahl, crazy spicy pickle stuff, tandori chicken, goat curry, mushmash of random veggies dish, etc etc.

I could tell that the ingredients were of good quality, and also, my body told me from the first bite that the recipes were expertly crafted by someone who understands the subtle and complex interactions between spices and their effects on flavor and digestion.

Every bite was delightful, and the food had a subtle lightness to it meaning perhaps it had lots of "prana" i think some would say. Even though i ate too much (why do i do this?) my body felt light and energized when it would normally feel heavy from too much digestive load.

The price of the lunch buffet was about $10, which i found to be a good value. Pretty much the entire buffet compared favorably with almost any indian buffet i have visited. Could be the best buffet i have had...

I will try dinner next time u am in portland

There used to be an indian buffet in culver city was of similar quality but of a different style..

there is another one that is pretty good and similar to siri

Also tgere is one in birmingham, al that was also really tasty...

this buffet is at the top tho due to the superior spices

I guess you would say that govindas (krshna community cafeteria) in culver city is of about the same quality as siri, although quite different due to krshna conscious folks avoiding garlic, onions and strongly spicy nightshades, etc. I usually walk away from here feeling energized too... another buffet with high "prana"?

Prana content should be required on...

For the good: the food is legit amazing. Some of the best Indian food I've had in the Portland area.

The bad: the service is atrocious.

I had been there probably 4 times before. I had never been particularly impressed with the service as they've always been a bit grumpy, but never rude. Then yesterday when we went, the waitress misunderstood my order. I ordered a dish with tomatoes and paneer but she brought out this goat dish. When I told them that this wasn't what I ordered, the waitress came by and yelled at me (in front of my wife/parents) saying that I didn't order correctly and that I did indeed say the dish that I ordered. I tried to be polite and appoligize and retold her the dish that I wanted. A few minutes later, she brings out another dish. It was a paneer dish, but the wrong pener dish. At this point I just ate it, not wanting to deal with the waitress anymore. The food was amazing - but it still wasn't what I ordered.

I feel bad giving such a bad review because the food is authentic and tasty and it seems like a nice family owned business. And I understand that there may have been a bit of a language/cultural barrier at play here. That being said, I expect to be treated better when I go out to eat. I hope that this place learns to treat their...
