From
the
moment
the
four
of
us
arrived
for
lunch
we
were
made
to
feel
very
unwelcome
and
this
seemed
to
be
made
worse
when
we
wanted
to
order
the
Menu
del
Dia.
Firstly
when
I
tried
to
order
it
and
despite
the
waiter
standing
over
my
shoulder
whilst
I
clearly
pointed
at
it
in
the
menu,
this
apparently
wasn't
good
enough
and
he
barked
in
nearly
perfect
English
that
it
was
the
responsibility
of
the
customer
to
'make
it
clear
to
staff
that
you
were
ordering
it,
otherwise
you
would
get
and
be
charged
for
the
normal
menu'.
Our
starters
arrived
separately
with
the
two
cold
ones
(massala
poppadoms)
arriving
nearly
5
minutes
before
the
hot
ones
(onion
bhajis).
The
bhajis
themselves
tasted
a
bit
different
to
what
we
are
used
to
but
OK.
After
finishing
our
starters
we
stacked
all
of
the
dirty
plates
and
cutlery
together
as
we
do
anywhere
to
be
cleared
from
the
table
by
the
waiter,
however,
when
he
came
to
take
it
away,
he
took
all
of
the
cutlery
back
off
the
plates,
put
them
all
randomly
back
around
the
table
in
front
of
everyone
and
just
took
the
dirty
plates!
This
really
is
unacceptable
in
any
circumstances
but
as
it
was
us
and
our
two
adult
children
it
mattered
less
but
the
staff
didn't
know
this
or
most
importantly
who's
cutlery
was
who's
and
what's
more,
they
didn't
care.
There
was
then
quite
a
delay
between
finishing
our
starters
and
receiving
our
main
courses,
by
which
time
it
started
to
feel
like
they
were
doing
this
with
the
sole
purpose
of
getting
us
to
order
more
drinks,
but
as
we'd
ordered
pints
of
coke
at
the
start
we
didn't
want
more
drinks.
The
rice
was
nice,
the
chicken
tikka
massala
sauce
was
also
nice
enough,
although
again
with
a
different
taste
to
normal
in
the
UK,
but
the
chicken
itself
wasn't
to
my
liking,
although
my
wife
and
children
ate
it
and
thought
it
was
alright.
After
finishing
our
mains,
we
did
wonder
if
we
should
keep
our
cutlery
for
our
desserts
but
this
time
they
were
all
taken......
thankfully!!
The
(choice
of)
dessert
offered
on
the
Menu
del
Dia
turned
out
to
be
a
simple
one
to
make
as
the
choice
was
either
strawberry
or
chocolate
ice
cream.
By
the
time
we
left
there
was
another
couple
who
had
arrived
and
ordered
the
Menu
del
Dia
and
they
seemed
to
be
treated
the
same
way
as
us
plus
a
group
of
3
Indian
men
which
we
couldn't
tell
what
they
had
ordered
but
were
being
treated
very
differently
to
the
rest
of
us.
As
the
people
who
own
and
run
the
Jaipur
Palace
clearly
also
run
the
other
Indian
restaurant
at
the
opposite
end
of
the
block
and
the
Mexican
/
breakfast
place
next
door
they
have
lost
a
lot
of
potential
custom
from
us
due
to
this
experience
as
we
are
staying
here
for
a
month.
For
anyone
who
knows
the
area,
there
isn't
anything
similar
unless
you
travel
a
few
miles
to
San
Javier
or
Torre
Pacheco,
but
that's
exactly
what
we
will
be
doing
or
using
the
excellent
kebab
shop
in
Roldán.
