The food was 5-stars but the experience was ruined when a really intoxicated customer (take out order) came in. As he was waiting for his food he did have an alcoholic drink even though he was clearly too drunk and legally should not have been served.
He was screaming across the restaurant asking Stephanie (the waitress) if she even "put the order in" he said that he will make "a scene" (in this day and age that could be anything including some really scary stuff) and yelled at a baby that was crying. He was making the entire restaurant uncomfortable but neither Stephanie nor a manager made any attempts to make the restaurant feel safe and welcoming to the dozen or so other customers that were equally annoyed and/or scared. The fact that he was served showed to me that the manager does not care about the law whatsoever.
After he was given his food he gave a hug to Stephanie and then squeezed her ass cheeks right in the middle of the restaurant. I was trying to have a nice relaxing dinner with my husband and not view a woman waitress get sexually harassed at her work place! Again, the manager was apathetic and did not put an end to it.
When my husband asked Stephanie "was that guy for real?" she seemed really confused as if screaming across a restaurant, yelling at a baby, being really intoxicated that you caused a scene and squeezing the ass cheeks of an employee is normal. Stephanie said that he was "an old friend" and didn't even apologize.
Even though the food was good we will stick to the numerous indian restaurants in Tempe and elsewhere.
Oh and before we even got the chance to look at the menu we were asked if we ever had Indian food before. I'm pregnant and even my fetus had indian food IN INDIA. Heck probably asked cause I'm white cause she didn't ask the Indians if they ever had Indian food.
