We
reached
here
around
1:30
on
a
Sunday
afternoon
for
lunch,
and
this
proved
to
be
the
worst
dining
experience
on
this
trip.
The
staff
is
disinterested
in
even
showing
you
the
available
tables.
We
were
on
the
ground
floor,
and
we
asked
about
their
first
floor
tables,
and
the
staff
asked
us
to
go
check
if
there
are
tables
available
on
the
first
floor.
We
got
one
of
the
last
available
lakeside
'tables'
-
the
seating
is
gaddi/mattress
with
a
tray
table
in
the
centre.
There
were
3-4
available
servers,
and
it
was
a
task
to
seek
their
attention
to
place
the
order.
There
were
two
servers
attending
to
a
white
foreigner
couple,
'helping'
them.
I
say
helping
in
quotes,
because
they
were
literally
standing
around
them,
when
they
needed
no
assistance
while
we
clearly
needed
to
order.
Little
did
we
know,
that
was
just
the
beginning.
Not
only
did
we
have
to
wait
to
order,
but
also
to
receive
the
food.
After
a
long
wait,
they
served
us
the
starters
and
the
main
course
together.
We
ordered
the
kadi
pakoda,
chicken
pakoras
(which
were
clearly
not
chicken
pakoras)
and
chicken
princess
(the
chicken
was
not
even
boneless
and
the
sauteed
vegetables
had
gotten
cold).
While
the
wait
and
substandard
food
had
already
disappointed
us,
the
cherry
on
top
was
the
blatant
racism
we
witnessed
as
well
as
experienced.
We
saw
how
Indian
patrons
were
made
to
wait
while
the
white
foreigners
were
seated
immediately
(and
no,
they
did
not
have
reservations).
While
we
were
still
eating,
the
servers
kept
checking
in
to
see
if
we
were
done,
because
they
wanted
us
to
leave.
During
the
billing,
they
insisted
on
a
tip,
which
we
refused
and
was
given
a
pretty
rude
stare
(mind
you,
as
a
couple
we
always
generously
tip,
but
it's
for
the
good
food
and
dining
experience,
not
out
of
entitlement).
The
last
straw
was
when
a
couple
rushed
to
our
side
and
hovered
over
us
while
we
were
wearing
our
shoes,
almost
willing
to
physically
shove
us
to
get
the
seat
for
themselves.
The
food
and
the
view
wasn't
worth
the
cost,
or
even
the
terrible
experience.
The
dining
experience
is
clearly
miles
apart
based
on
the
colour
of
your
skin.
Don't
expect
good
service
if
you're
not
white.
