On 23rd of May, ’09, around 1330 hrs, I had gone to UpaharaDarshini with Family, ( Jayanagar IV Block).
You wait in the queue without knowing when they would call as they take no names and an elderly man nods his head and sends people as he deems fit.
On being seated you find the table remaining uncleaned for good ten minutes.
This is done after you remind them.
*The AC is not switched on, the room is fully occupied, and the entrance to food distribution area, (Kitchen(?) is kept open, aroma of food permeating the hall.You feel you are in a cooker.
On complaining, the guy with the notebook(what do you call him?(noter, as he does nothing but writes what you tell him-no suggestions at all), says he tells you the AC is fine, **wiping his sweaty eyebrows with the back of his hands.On protest, he goes back, switches on for a few minutes, again the AC is off.
When asked about the Manager, the answer is’Avaru ello Idhaarae’(he is some where)
Food was barely passable.No second helpings were offered; if you ask something like Ghee-Thuppa-the answer is Kodalla-will not give you.
I could barely consume food before I could escape from the steamroom.
Totally forgettalbl experience.
