After a long time, I recently went to Dine in at the Empire Restaurant on 80 feet road, Jeevan Bhima Nagar.
Usually I check the menu card for prices before ordering the food and if any taxes and hidden cost if any to be checked, dont want any surprises later.
At empire they would mention "NO TIPS" as they would charge a good percentage as Service CHARGE! This was also mentioned on the menu card earlier when I would be there and this was even for take aways. funny!
I even asked the cashier once during take away why they were charging service charges for take aways(Parcels) as there is no service extra in there and they were already charging for the parcel etc.,
Anyways coming back to my unhappy experience with Dinning at this place, was with the desert.
Yes Desert! My son ordered Milk Shake cold with ice so that its chill, and I ordered one for my other kid but the waiter got the milk shake with a Scoop of Ice Cream in it. When I inquired he said its how milk shake is served.
My surprise was when I got the bill for a glass of milk shake at Rs. 200/ each and that was way higher than what I would be charged in any 5 star hotels:)
