Whilst
it’s
not
the
worst
restaurant
in
existence,
it
is
certainly
the
worst
restaurant
I’ve
ever
eaten
at
in
20
years
of
coming
to
Varanasi.
The
floor
wasn’t
as
dirty
as
the
very
wobbly
tables,
and
the
tables
weren’t
as
dirty
as
the
menus;
but
considering
the
menus
were
at
least
2
millimetres
thick
in
grime
that
doesn’t
say
a
lot
for
the
general
standard
of
hygiene
in
the
dining
room.
The
single
design
feature
was
a
1.5
metre
Long
fish
tank
with
a
rather
sad
goldfish
in
it.
While
the
2
metre
long
fish
tank
on
the
floor
behind
my
chair
hinted
at
former
grandeur.
The
menu
was
the
standard
multi-cuisine
fare
and
the
prices
seemed
ok.
We
asked
for
a
mutton
dish
and
after
a
brief
trip
to
the
kitchen
the
manager(?)
informed
us
that
he
had
no
mutton
today.
He
could
give
us
veg,
chicken
or
fish.
I
settled
for
fried
chicken
and
finger
chips
and
my
friend
asked
for
chicken
korma
and
rice.
We
also
ordered
a
spring
roll.
We
then
waited
and
waited
and
waited
and
waited.
After
45
minutes
of
silence
and
eye
avoidance
from
staff
I
asked
where
our
meal
was
and
was
given
the
answer
‘soon’.
5
minutes
later
my
chicken
and
a
plate
of
soft
warm(ish)
finger
chips
with
lots
of
pepper
appeared
and
nothing
else.
Another
5
minutes
passed
and
the
korma
and
spring
roll
were
put
down.
Still
no
rice
however.
I
asked
for
it
and
the
manager
said
‘yes’.
Another
couple
of
minutes
and
the
rice
arrived.
It
was
even
hot.
The
fried
chicken
was
lovely
and
the
chips
were
passable.
The
spring
roll
was
quite
clearly
seasoned
liberally
with
MSG
and
salt
with
no
other
discernible
flavour.
The
korma
was
odd
and
tasted
strongly
of
cumin
and
something
that
tasted
like
coriander
but
that
taste
was
so
mild
I
couldn’t
place
it
and
gave
up
trying.
About
halfway
through
eating
the
manager
came
over
and
asked
if
everything
was
ok.
My
companion
and
I
both
said
the
food
was
ok,
but
the
almost
1hr
delay
to
get
all
of
our
food
was
not
good.
The
manager
then
said
‘There
was
a
problem.’
He
didn’t
explain
the
nature
of
the
problem,
but
as
he
was
about
to
leave
I
explained
that
he
should
have
told
us
when
the
problem
occurred
not
a
significant
period
of
time
after.
He
seemed
not
too
concerned
with
this
feedback
and
walked
away.
We
finished
most
of
our
meal
and
prepared
to
leave.
After
I
asked
for
the
bill
a
third
time,
it
arrived
written
on
the
back
of
the
bill
with
which
I
was
presented.
This
meant
the
manager
had
to
turn
it
over
after
I
read
it
to
show
me
our
bill.
It
came
to
695
and
I
have
him
two
500
notes.
He
brought
the
change
back
and
I
gave
my
friend
200,
and
put
the
rest
in
my
pocket
as
I
stood
up.
The
manager
then
said
‘No
tip?’
to
which
I
replied
‘No
tip.’
He
seemed
genuinely
surprised
that
the
experience
wasn’t
worthy
of
more
money
than
the
price
of
the
food
we
ate.
I
would
only
eat
here
again
if
they
were
giving
the
food
away
served
on
50
rupee
notes,
and
even
then,
I’d
wash
the
notes
before
putting
them
in
my
wallet.
If
you
dine
here,
don’t
say
you
weren’t
warned.
