On father’s day 6/20/2015 at 8:40pm during the month of Ramadan, I was fasting; I visited Lal-Qila restaurant along with my Husband and my 5 year old. I have visited Lal-Qila restaurant prior to this incidence, so I had high hopes and expectations from this restaurant. Upon arrival after a 30 minute long hectic drive to the restaurant; the receptionist did not greet us; he goes what do you want? I told him, (older receptionist man) that we’re party of three; he didn’t say anything; we assumed that we had to wait; while waiting to be received at the front desk; we noticed party of four arrived; they were immediately taken to be seated on the normal round tables.
So we patiently wait and we noticed the receptionist has ordered some people to put up a cheap plastic table into the middle of the front door exit. They didn’t ask us if that table was ok. We assumed it was for us, I decided to ask the receptionist, how come you are putting a cheap white plastic table for us to sit down? Even though I could see at least half side of the restaurant was vacant; while the others get a normal treatment? The older receptionist man goes; I put up this table for you, take it or leave it.
Till this day, I am confused, why did the receptionist decided not to give us normal table, may be because we look Indian why such a bad hospitality; I called Lal-Qila to inform the reason we left, the receptionist took my call and was being rude and un-apologetic and finally just hung up on me.
The point I am trying to make here is I was so embarrassed to bring my husband for his father’s day treatment at Lal-Qila; I will remember there horrible customer service. I will not recommend this restaurant for any one; please do not go here. They do not treat everyone (Indian/Pakistani) equal, I do not know why. I hope this situation does not happen to anyone else.
