"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."

"Best pizza around and I loved her chicken tikka Marsala and butter chicken, but they just took her out of the menu from nothing. Very disappointed. Would like to know why it was taken from the menu. I ordered it at least once a week"

"namaste has a large vegan sort. they have both vegan food and modified drinks like the chai and malai. I love especially the chana masala who has a delicious ingwer in him. they have been new property for a few months and eating is even better than with the old property. they also have large vegan appetizers called a cauliflower dish, gobi manchurian and a pineapple seasoned. recommend the place to vegan and, of course, our non-vegan counterparts that feed with us."

"This is literally one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I come once or twice a month for sure — they are probably sick of seeing me! The owners/servers are always super kind to me when I’m there. Such hard workers they are. I typically go for the chicken tikka masala or the coconut butter chicken, garlic naan, and veggie samosas. Everything is always super consistent and well-executed. Give the masala chai a taste as well— they do a really nice job preparing it. These are the type of businesses I love to see thrive."

"I 've never ate Indian food before and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I consider myself a foodie and my palate was pleased with the amount of flavor in every bite of food I ate. I was a clean platter for sure!I can 't remember the names of the dishes, but the meat in our dishes, CHEF 'S KISS cooked to perfection. I had chicken in my dish, my son had lamb and our friend had goat. I had a taste of all 3 and they were all divine in their own unique smell and taste!The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, service wasn 't bad but wasn 't anything above and beyond to win me over to say it was great. It was your basic food industry service. We will be back for sure though"

"Very nice atmosphere. Excellent service also. I found the food a little underwhelming. The flank steak was very hard, the presentation was less than impressive. The Hamburger was not as gourmet as you would expect for the price. More bread than beef and the cook on the meat was not as ordered. Unfortunately, this was an average pub style burger best. However, the salmon salad was excellent. This dish impressed the fish perfectly cooked in every way, the vegetables were fresh, tasteful and seasoned until perfection. The presentation was on site. The prices are high prices that indicate a fine culinary experience. That was average for me. I just feel like that. ve had a better experience in another restaurant for a fraction of the cost."

"Sunday brunch eating and service was excellent. recommend this place for the large selection of small plates on the menu. the main it area was bright, cheerful and alive. Unfortunately, this is not where we sit. we were the first group to sit in the empty cellar that was initially a little too calm. we plan to come back and hope that we will sit next time in the sunlight dining area."

"Man this place used to be THE spot. Pre Covid. I would come at least once a week for the pot roast which was $18 and it was amazing. They changed the recipe because it hasn’t tasted the same since. And it’s like $25 now I think. The food quality was wayyyy better and so was the price. Obviously food prices have gone up but the quality should meet that. I’ve been a few times since Covid and everything has really gone downhill from the quality of food, to the cleanliness, the vibe and the staff just seem super burnt out and it’s sad. I miss the old steubens. :"

"I had heard mixed reviews about the freshness of the food at this restaurant in Irving, but decided to give it a try. I ordered the windshield wiper pakora and fish 65 to start, followed by chicken biryani and a dessert. The food was delicious and fresh, and the service was good as well. Overall, it was a great dining experience. The next day, I wanted to go back for some pakora and chai, but unfortunately, they didn't have chai available. My suggestion to them would be to remove items from the menu if they are not being served."

"the last two times I ordered from this place, I was impressed by her soße. I liked another place in the bay, but this place has better curry sauce. it is more tasteful and has some nutty notes. her huh is pretty well cooked. but her jalub jamun is disgusting, they have to put them in the microwave or something."

"This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Capitol Hill area. I go here every time I come to DC. The food is great. This time I came with family and we had 2 disabled people. I forgot to put that in the reservation my fault but they are noticeably disabled (canes and wheelchair). The first floor was pretty much empty but they still sat us in the upper area. Yes my mom and sister can use stairs with assistance, but when the other tables were empty the majority of our time there, it didn't make sense. Our waitress was sweet but more attentive to other tables as we were the table in the kitchen. Our appetizers came before our drinks. My drink was wrong. But at the end of the night, the food is always amazing which is why I would still come back again. But...a little sensitivity training reminder to how to seat customers is needed."
