We
heard
a
lot
of
good
things
about
Sky
Lounge
at
Kingsbury
so
naturally,
we
were
excited
to
try
this
place
out
when
we
were
visiting
Sri
Lanka.
So
on
New
Year's
Day
(Jan
1st
2024),
we
decided
to
visit
the
sky
Lounge
for
drinks,
and
dinner
and
to
celebrate
the
New
Year.
But
instead
of
giving
us
a
good
experience,
we
were
treated
as
a
second
class
citizen
(for
context
we
are
Sri
Lankan
expatriates).
We
had
a
reservation
and
as
soon
as
we
walked,
we
requested
a
table
by
the
window
(the
only
window
table
available)
which
was
initially
occupied
by
a
couple.
However,
we
were
told
by
the
manager
that
the
table
is
reserved
for
10+
people
only
and
we
were
only
five
people,
which
made
no
sense
because
again
it
was
initially
occupied
by
a
couple
who
were
white.
We
offered
to
move
if
a
party
of
10
did
show
up.
But
the
manager
rejected
us
and
sternly
told
us
the
table
is
only
reserved
for
party
of
10.
Again,
it
made
no
sense
because
before,
it
was
just
two
people.
Few
minutes
later,
a
ground
of
4
"white"
patrons
came
and
the
manger
happily
offered
the
same
table
to
them.
When
we
confronted
the
manager
about
this,
his
responded
by
saving
"I
can't
ask
white
people
to
move".
When
I
pressed
about
it,
he
double
down
by
saying
we
can't
"asl
white
people
to
move".
This
is
probably
the
most
insulting
thing
he
could
have
said
to
us.
Is
this
how
employees
of
Kingsbury
thought
to
treat
their
fellow
Sri
Lankans?
Even
though
we
spend
the
same
money,
do
we
not
deserve
the
same
treatment?
Seems
like
white
tourists
are
given
preferential
treatments
which
is
disgusting
and
racist.
We
decided
to
cut
our
stay
short
and
moved
on
to
another
restaurant.
We
will
never
spend
another
penny
at
this
racist
establishments.
I
don't
know
the
name
of
the
manager
but
I
hope
he
learns
to
treat
his
fellow
Sri
Lankans
with
same
level
of
respect
and
consideration,
as
the
white
patrons.
