DO NOT GO HERE! DO NOT GO HERE!! DO NOT GO HERE!!! I visited Malai Kitchen on Sunday to meet a friend. There were three of us, and we ordered a variety of appetizers. My friend and I decided to share a drink pitcher, and later, my husband joined in. After two pitchers, the waitress informed us that we "HAVE TO" order entrées before we could get another pitcher. We were just friends having fun and enjoying ourselves, with no rowdy or crazy behavior.
The waitress didn't mention any restrictions when we ordered our entrées and even brought us our third pitcher. However, when we asked for another one, she refused, saying the manager had declined our request. We spoke with the manager, who expressed concerns about potential DUI issues, but he didn't check if we were actually driving home ourselves. We could have taken an Uber, been picked up by friends, or had plans to stay in the area for a while.
His refusal felt abrupt and embarrassing. We didn't order dessert and tipped the waitress despite her odd behavior towards us. It seemed like the manager wanted us gone for the dinner rush, even though the restaurant wasn't as busy as it used to be. I used to recommend Malai Kitchen to friends and family and enjoyed their service and ambiance, but after this experience,
I will never suggest it to anyone again.
