We
are
new
to
the
city...and
in
the
old
town
of
Allahabad
there
are
but
few
decent
eat
outs
to
go
to.
Eden
Cafe
was
recommended
to
us
as
one
of
them.
During
our
first
visit
we
loved
the
decor
and
ambience,
the
food
was
ok,
but
we
found
the
service
extremely
slow.
Had
the
same
experience
the
second
time.
Visited
for
the
third
time
with
extended
family
today.
No
one
bothered
to
serve
water,
even
after
requesting
after
10
minutes
of
waiting,
no
one
turned
up.
Finally
I
had
to
get
up
myself
from
the
chair
and
go
to
the
4
waiters/waitresses
standing
and
ask
them
if
they
wished
to
serve
water
or
not.
While
this
happened
we
had
already
prompted
them
3
times
over
18
minutes
to
take
our
order.
Finally
a
dish
arrives:
watermelon
feta
cheese
salad
with
few
tiny
droplets
of
feta
cheese
(photo
attached).
The
dish
costs
Rs
400/-
plus
and
they
served
water
melon
topped
with
mint
leaves
worth
Rs
20/-
in
all.
Why
do
they
bother
to
print
such
a
menu
when
they
can't
actually
make
what's
in
it?
We
decided
to
cancel
the
order
as
we
already
knew
about
their
poor/slow
service
and
didn't
wish
to
continue
this
way.
Finally
when
asked
for
the
bill
(ourselves
as
nobody
was
keen
to
bring
it
to
us
on
their
own),
a
waitress
comes
smirking
and
bangs
the
ceramic
pot
containing
the
bill
hard
on
our
table!
Well
well
well!
So
this
is
the
hospitality
of
one
of
the
go
to
places
of
Prayagraj!
Not
only
this,
but
the
table
next
to
us
was
continously
being
looked
after!
The
stark
difference
in
service
was
so
obvious!
I
had
no
choice
but
to
inform
the
waitress
and
the
staff
that
each
customer
is
paying
and
needs
to
be
looked
after
well!
Only
that
ensures
their
salaries...the
hospitality
industry
doesn't
happen
to
maintain
itself
without
doing
that!
The
staff
is
totally
untrained
and
unbothered...and
it
speaks
volumes
about
the
management
of
the
restaurant...
I
read
many
other
reviews
after
today's
experience
and
the
poor
and
slow
service
has
been
mentioned
by
several
other
customers
too...
Even
after
mentioning
the
experience
to
the
so
called
senior
in
the
staff
there
was
absolutely
no
regret
in
any
one
of
them....there
was
no
sorry
feeling
in
them...as
if
it
was
a
routine
for
them...
It
was
an
extremely
disappointing
experience...
We
are
regulars
in
visiting
different
places
and
good
eat
outs
in
those
places...we
don't
mind
paying
extra
for
a
good
ambience,
courteous
staff
and
good
food
and
believe
in
leaving
a
handsome
tip
as
well
each
time...but
lo!
This
was
extreme!
Have
come
across
something
like
this
for
the
first
time
in
my
life....
extremely
saddening...
Definitely
don't
recommend
it
to
people
looking
for
a
good
service
and
good
food!
They
are
definitely
lacking...
You
may
need
to
be
really
well
known
to
the
restaurant
people
i
feel
to
get
a
better
service...I
don't
understand
any
other
reason
for
better
service
that
was
being
provided
to
the
table
next
to
ours!
Nevertheless
the
food
isn't
worth
it
anyway!
