"I have been in U.S since 7 years and I never experienced such a bad hospitality in any of the U.S restuarants. This is the most bad resturant for hospitality. Here is what happened to me when I visited Pickles for brunch today (i.e., 2/1/2014). I went to this resturant at around 11:30 a.m. on saturday. I was very hungry. I went there and sat on one seat. Server came and gave me the menu. He didnot turn up until 10minutes, so I called him and ordered “Uttapam” and Tea, I told him to serve me tea after uttapam. Without warning me that uttapam will take 30 minutes to prepare he went inside and gave the order. I was in the impression that I will get uttapam in 5 or 10 mintues. After 5 min, he came and served me tea. I told him I cannot have it until I finish uttapam. He took that inside. I waited for uttapam for 15 mintues, and meanwhile I realised that the buffet for lunch has started. Since, I did not get my uttapam and I was very hungry, I told the server to cancel uttapam and I am going to take the buffet. He went inside and came bask after few minutes and told me that uttapam is on grill. But, I told him to cancel the uttapam since I am having lunch. He did not say anything and I continued with my lunch. After some time he bought Uttapam. I was shocked to see Uttapam on my seat. He dint even waited for me before putting uttapam on my table. He put uttapam and left. When I see uttapam on my table, I got shocked. I called the server and asked him why he put it when I already cancelled it. Then he started telling me that once any item is on grill we cannot cancel it. When I asked him why you dint tell me that when I asked him to cancel it. Now, when I started my lunch you are asking me to take both. When I started talking to this server, that time the owner of the resturant Mr.Nageshware Rao heard our conversation and he started arguring with me. He started telling me that you ordered it and when it is on grill you have to take it, there is no other way. When I told him that your server has not informed me that I have to accept the order when it is on the grill. He was not in a position to listen to me at all. When I told him that I am going to give a review on it. He got angry and asked me whether I am threatening him. I said yes I am threatening because you did not properly communicated me about the order. Then he raised his pitch and told me “I dont care about your damn review, go and do whatever you want”. I got surprised and shocked to hear that. I mean in India there is a saying “Atiti Devo Bava” meaning “Guest is like God”. Here, I am seeing a person who is the owner of the restuarant and when I went there as paying guest, he humiliated me with such an arroagance, I decided never to go this place in my entire life again. Finally, I end up paying for both uttapam and lunch buffet. I mean we go to restuarants to have some peace of mind, but here I am seeing a restuarant that gives you more stress than peace."

"my waiter gave me the confidence to try several new dishes. so I tried to feed the vegetable pakora. I decided to try the mushroom bhoona and ordered my favorite saag when the escape. I love my saag level. I was in restaurants that insist that my saag contains at least one of the usual ingredients: paneer, aloo and sometimes chana, which I then painfully get out of my saag. one of my raw food cookers, originally from india, had a bio restaurant. she told me why they committed me to trembling my saag. if that happens, I'll go up and never leave the restaurant back. but in this restaurant my waiter had no problem to submit my request at the place. the vegetable pakora first arrived. I really liked it. but there were the tamarind sauce and green chili chutney that the pakora really made excellent. when my man came to a call to eat his pakora, it was cold (he hates cold food.) but my man liked this cold pakora so much, he always tried to ask me about it while he breeds them at once down he usually eats it and asks for a question. After the pakora was completed, however, he immediately announced to order the pakora again at our next visit. the mushroom bhoona and the saag came together. both my man and I were very impressed by these exotic aromes. when the rice arrived that was taken up with the bhoona, we had most bhoona and saag eaten. my man is a rice fan, so he can just sit and eat rice himself if necessary. I usually do not eat white basmati rice. wild rice, brown or black rice. but when they brought out these basmati, I had to try. it had interesting spots of seasoning in it. after a bite I sat and ate the half of the plate with the rest of my saag. I mentioned my waiter how much I liked the basmati. he explained all the preparations that go into making this special dish. it was quite impressive and he seemed very pleased to hear that I liked it so much. I hope he shared my compliment with the kitchen. I liked the way our waiter observed our food needs again and again when he came past our table. I noticed he didn't want to interrupt our dinner. but I knew if I looked at him, he would have come directly to our table if we needed something. that is the sign of a sophisticated waiter for me. a trait that I rarely see more in restaurant waitstaff. at the end of our meal our waiter offered us a free sample of the gulab jamun desserts. After he described this, I know I didn't order it alone. but we still tried. my man just yelled at me when I tasted this overly sweet dessert. he had observed my expression when I tasted him and offered me the other half of his rehearsal. it didn't come surprised when I told him that the next time we came, I'd order the gulab jamun dessert. I asked him how he knew I liked it. apparently it was the ankle in my eyes when I took my first bite that there was gone. so, now it is obvious that we already planned our return to this restaurant on our next trip to fresno. not only eating is very nice, but our waiter has made me feel that I will not forget. so it's easy to forgive the little girl that went into mine when I first sat and my man was outside on a call. they rode on an unusually large cracker that was in her hand and from a strange background she jumped in and sat on the stand for several minutes. it seemed completely unlikely for the difference between a customer and an extended family. it was so strange, it was almost cute. but that immediately tells me that this flawless crew is family owned. but what is really etched in my mind, in the last moments of this culinary experience, was the hectic attempt of the owner. our waiter was not far behind the owner who ran into our car with my mobile phone charger base. it had fallen out of my handbag in our stand. I am so grateful to this gracious owner and my waiter that he gave it back to me before we get away. I would never have been able to complete my work projects, emails and text messages without my cell charger base. the demanding waiter skills of our waiter, combined with my saag accommodation and the desperate attempt by the owner to return my cell charger base, shows me that it is not by chance that this restaurant serves such fine quality meals. this is the first time that my man and I plan our next visit in a restaurant on the APPETIZER course! So, for a high quality north indian restaurant with excellent eating and excellent service, I recommend you to make their first stop in tandoori night!"
