UNrecommendation
I went to a certain Indian restaurant at 14th & Blake in Denver with several friends who were going to see Russell Peters (who is freakin' hilarious, I might add). The food was okay, but not all of that, and significantly more expensive than when it was Delhi Darbaar. We showed up right at 5:30, since the rest of the group was going to see the show, and didn't want to have to rush. It was explained to the waitress about 5 times that we wanted the food order to be placed as we ordered as it was a fairly large group, some of us were showing up later, and we had to be out of there by 7. The first 4 or 5 of us had ordered by 5:40. She then asked if she could take the rest of the tables that didn't have anyone sitting there. We asked her to give it another 5 minutes. She asked if we wanted her to wait on the food, too, and we told her again, that no, we didn't. 6:30 rolls around and our food still hadn't gotten there, and we asked where it was, and asked to speak to the manager. Every time we talked to her, we told her that we were under time constraints. Well, when the manager got there, it turns out that she hadn't put the order in until 6:05, and tried to blame it on the kitchen, didn't really ever say that he was sorry, and THEN he brought the waitress back to argue with us. She tried to tell us that we told her to wait at that point. In the middle of it, he just went away. She had brought the bill with her, and said, "You can keep my tip, and don't bother coming back." When we asked to see the manager again (who I think was actually the owner), he never bothered to come back. So, we took her at her word, kept the tip, and I'm not going back, and I don't think any of the others are either. The service has always been a bit slow since they became India House, but I've never had such rudeness. It's not like the place was overflowing with people. It was probably a little over half full. I wouldn't want to be chasing people away, if it were me...
