As I have already mentioned in other reviews, I was on a
trip to Rajasthan last year, and while I was there, I visited a number of
restaurants. Niros
was one of those eating hubs we visited on the day we visited Hawa Mahal. It
was around 3 PM when we entered the place to have our lunch after exploring the
famous (but really badly kept and sadly dilapidated) Hawa Mahal. The restaurant
was very nicely decorated with simple but elegant decorative pieces.
We (my friends and I) settled down comfortably at a 4-seater
table. The seats are really comfortable to relax in as they are designed in a sofa
style with soft cushions. From the ambience of this place, we were under the
illusion that the service must be very good, but when no one came forward to greet
us while we were entering our impression slowly changed. Within a few minutes,
the waiter came with a menu and placed it on our table without even a smile on
his face. We had a huge appetite for lunch as it was almost 3PM, so we
deliberately ignored all this and totally concentrated on the menu. From their
Rajasthani delicacies, we chose Lal Maans and switched
over to Chinese preparations where we chose Veg Fried Rice, Chicken Fried Rice,
Chicken in Sichuan Sauce and Sichuan Fish Dry. They served our dishes within 15
minutes. The Lal Maans was really awesome, prepared typically in Rajasthani
style with red chilli powder to bring out that tempting color in the
preparation. The other items were also very good, though slightly different
from the taste that we usually have in Kolkata.
Coming to the most important part of our dining experience,
their behavior…atrocious! While we were relishing our food and were about to
finish, we called a waiter to order another plate of Veg Fried Rice. The man
replied firmly, “No more orders please…We will close the restaurant now…We are
only waiting for you to complete”, and sited the reason for temporary closure
because of Diwali approaching and they needed to clean up the restaurant before
the festival. We were so surprised that we hurriedly finished the rest and made
our payment. The rates (as you can already see in Zomato’s menu list) are quite
expensive. While we were making our exit, a group of foreigners entered. Much
to our surprise, they greeted the foreigners in a very nice manner and offered
them a menu card while guiding them to their seats. Then, no Diwali excuse -
nothing. Is this the behavior expected from an Indian to another Indian? Later,
while sharing this experience with a local there, we heard that many stores and
restaurants do this, mainly to make more profit from foreigners; rather, to
loot the foreigners as they are not at all familiar with the place.
