Love the creativity of the dishes and the sugar mamas be the icing on the cake ‍ (it's fried Oreos with ice cream). Their mac n cheese is BOMB! I love the tacos, quesadillas (fav), samosa chaat and the chicken sandwiches. Over all...

almost 5 years ago

First time trying this hole in the wall spot, I got their tacos which was basically filling wrapped in paratha and boy I must say that was the hit out of all the food items we got! I got the turban taco and blazin chicken wrap which was delish! I loved everything about both the tacos and have no complaints. It was spicy, savory, with a burst flavors...goodness! The loaded tater tots was flavorful but super greasy and oily, which after two bites made me full and i wasn't really able to enjoy it as much because of how heavy it felt. The samosa chaat was a let down, don't recommend getting that. My husband got the Turban Burger and he said it was delish and was craving it the next day!

For dessert we got Fried Oreos, and it was a let down. I think desi business should stick with desi desserts and not try to westernize it too much. I'll come back for the tacos, burger, and will definitely want to try the Gajar halwa...

I don't know where to start! Okay, so my man saw this place and said we had to try it because it has good reviews & it's right in front of home. So I checked out all the reviews on yelp too and well I was intrigued and skeptical all at the same time! I'm a Pakistani Houstonian born and raised here & grew up on my moms home cooking so to see all the items on their menu with their TWIST was so unique and totally different. I thought let's try it sooo we went for dinner like around 6ish Alright, let's jump in! So for appetizers I ordered the samosa chaat, main entrees we ordered the Turban burger combo with fries and a beef quesadilla. For dessert, we indulged in the Sugga Momma. They have a variety of soda and drinks as well. I was excited to see they offered Pakola a Pakistani cream soda - yum! I was excited about our order because I normally don't get to eat this or any desi food for that matter on a regular. The samosa chaat as an appetizer was everything! The samosa was hot & fresh & hidden under the chaat. The presentation was so nice and clean with the layering of the sauces, the build of the beans & pomegranate balanced to make it whole with parsley on top. The samosa itself had a yummy curried potato filling - YUM! Must try!! So once we finished with the appetizer I was more thrilled about our order & gotta say blown away by how really good the food is. I had the beef quesadilla & my other half ordered the Turban burger! Both were DELICIOUS so much so that we normally split food half and half and I totally fought my man off to avoid sharing my quesadilla this time lol because of how perfectly juicy the beef was shredded inside of a perfectly crisp Paratha! It hit the spot & was so good! Do you understand nihari style beef brisket + paratha = quesadilla?! MF mindblown! I can't fathom enough words to describe how awesome our dinner was! I ordered the Turban sauce in the side and it came with sour cream but I forgot all about the sauce cuz how good the quesadillas were by itself! It should have stopped there but it totally didn't stop there Hahahaha. Oh well, good food is my guilty pleasure needless to say We were beyond stuffed but of course found room for dessert!

We enjoyed a delightful treat called Sugga Momma & we enjoyed every bite of that delicious fried red velvet Oreo omg! Just YUM!!! You have to come here and literally try this place for yourself! It does not disappoint!! Hats off to...

to the chef! Thank you so much, We enjoyed our experience so so much and both of us loved every moment from the minute we walked in & were warmly welcomed to enjoying your diverse menu! Also, great background music & great art to look at! Love the Houston wall! Representing H-Town!! We had a lot of fun here and definitely created memories because my man doesn't do spicy so we had a lot of fun with the Turban sauce! It's not spicy it has a kick to it I think but my man thought it was a little spicy...so initially when we got the food and fries it was funny to see his initial reaction dipping his fry into the Turban sauce like if it was spicy ketchup and stuffed his face Great place with great food! Must try & you won't be disappointed

Parmesan fries with jalapeño ranch goes so well together!

My fav spot for Parmesan wings and crispy fries with great selection of sauces, my top choices are jalapeño ranch and diablo sauce. Staffs are very nice and friendly! Highly recommended !

I've had Twisted Turban on my radar for quite some time, but never got around to trying it mainly because of how far it is from where I live. I finally got a chance to try it out with some friends on a Saturday for lunch, right when they opened. The restaurant shares a strip with a few other businesses and has parking right out front. Parking was easy when I arrived, but was pretty full when I was leaving. We were the first to arrive so the place was empty and it stayed that way until halfway through the meal when it picked up a steady stream of customers. The owner of the place was taking orders and service was great. From the name of the place, I am sure you can tell this is a fusion burger spot. The menu had quite a few interesting items for being a fast casual burger spot. For apps they had items like loaded tots and fries, nachos and samosa chaat. You can also get the chaat twisted with a little Texas flair. The fusion did not stop there. They had fusion burgers, pasta, salads, tacos and quesadillas just to name a few. My mind was on a burger and usually when checking out a burger spot for the first time, I go with a traditional cheeseburger just to get a proper introduction to the place. If they can't execute a regular burger, then why try the elevated stuff. The unique burgers looked so tempting so I went with the Turban Burger which was highly recommended by the owner and one of their popular sellers. This burger consisted of a grilled burger, topped with brisket, muenster cheese, mango slaw and turban sauce. He said if I like a little heat, this is the burger to get. The burgers came out in timely manner and looked amazing. The burger was large but messy. The first bite had sauce dripping all over the place but a tasty bite it was. I was immediately impressed with all the different flavors working in perfect harmony. I've never had muenster on a burger but it worked so well with it. The mango slaw was a game changer as well. It added a sweet heat that I did not know I needed in a burger. I don't know what turban sauce is, but it was delicious as well. The fries that came with it was a small serving, but it was perfectly fried and seasoned. They only have bottled drinks here which is not a preference of mine, but it did the job. They have a few dessert items but we did not partake. This place is pretty far from my side of town, but I can see myself driving out of the way to come check out more of their menu. I will be back!

Chicken Peri Loco taco- tender chicken - a lot of it too! peri peri sauce a bit spicy for me. On a soft flaky paratha!

What a unique bite ! Went in there for a quick snack- ended up eating an entire meal and then some to go I love that most things can be made vegetarian. Fries were well seasoned with Indian spices. But not too overwhelming. 6-8$ for a taco is a good deal- each taco comes on a hearty puff pastry paratha which in itself is a meal !. - cauliflower paneer tacos were amazing. Not too spicy with a tangy tamarind slaw on top. - pico chicken taco I swear had an entire grilled chicken breast in there. Topped with a very spicy sauce- if you can't handle heat I'd still ask for it on the side because you don't want to miss it! - Samosa chat was also very good. But it definitely needed crispy texture and additional freshness that this lacked as a chaat. It seems out of place on the menu , but i mean what do i know, i'm not a chef. I'd skip this the next time. Service was fast & friendly. MINUS 1 star in total for - 2 meals we both found very heavy on the spice and because they were out of many fun things on their menu ( some savory and essentially all of their specialty desserts- they did have some frozen packaged kulfi ) Anyway - what a gem. cant wait to return!

We came as a party today to Twisted Turban. Food was amazing! Service was excellent 10/10. We loved the vibe of the restaurant and the tater tots are a must! Would absolutely recommend for you and your friends, great spot to hang out and have some burgers.

Finally tried a mac and cheese chicken burger after wanting to try it for so long since its a perfect combo of my 2 favorite foods and it was definitely as tasty as I imagined it to be I also tried Twisted Turbans samosa chaat (which I got as a free appetizer from the app Fivestars) and even though ive had better samosa chaats, it was still very good! All their burgers also come with masala fries so thats a win win In my opinion the prices are a bit high compared to other desi fast food type restaurants but the quality and portions of the food here make up for it :)

Came here for the first time last night. The cashier was great at explaining the menu and helping us decide what to order. We decided to order the Samosa Chaat, the Peri Loco Taco and the Turban Burger. In terms of taste, this place was decent. Out of all the items we ordered the Turban Burger was the best. There were a few things with each dish that were not completed per their description. The samosa chaat was missing the pomegranate seeds and included mostly chickpeas in the dish. While the Turban Burger was good, the fries with them were cold when we received them. Lastly the Peri Loco Taco, the chicken was cooked well and juicy, but did not look like other pictures I've seen posted of the taco. The wrap was a little undercooked and was missing the cucumber and tomato (aside from the one piece ) topping. Overall the service was good, the interior is nice and clean, but the food kind of missed the mark.

Food's getting destroyed man this is amazing This was very high quality, great service. Overall ambiance is nice, music isn't blaring. Very nice place to come with a group of friends or family!

This place definitely gets points for uniqueness. I ordered the turban burger that comes with brisket, their turban sauce, Cole slaw, and mangoes. The burger was tender, juicy and full of flavor. The turban sauce tasted a lot like Buffalo sauce and complimented the Cole slaw very well. The mangoes and brisket were a bit too absent in flavor/presence. You can tell they use frozen mangoes but a lot of the flavor was lost. The fries were a bit subpar, but I think the flavor of the burger made up for it. Fair warnings: They don't offer free water. They only have bottled water and other beverages you have to pay for. If you have a party of three or more, they charge you 10% gratuity even though they're not really someone waiting on you, which I thought didn't really make sense. Overall despite some of the nuances, I would definitely come and give this place another try.

I love the concept of Mexican south Asian fusion. Pretty genius if you ask me so I was super excited to get down with the food fusion. A few things to note, the actual space is not very big but has some cool graffiti art on one of the walls. The bathroom can definitely use some upgrading and general cleaning. Nothing I hate more than using a dirt bathroom and then having no soap to wash your hands... pretty gross They have canned and bottled drinks for purchase and no alcohol is sold in the establishment. I was very unimpressed with the street corn, I actually threw it away. Tasted like canned corn with some Mayo and some weak sriracha sauce . I also did not care for the samosa chaat, the mix of chutney with the potato gravy and chick peas with the samosa didn't work for me. Positive notes: I did like the tacos, loved the paratha. It was a nice change from the normal tortilla. The turban taco had great flavor with the braised beef and cabbage. The wrapchic is made with chicken tikka masala which had some great flavor.

This place is nothing but greatness - from the food to the service, everything was excellent!! My sister was hungry and wanted Whataburger. I was so against it. I stood my ground and drove to Twisted Turban once she scarfed down her burger up the street. (*side-eyeing her in the car*) Once inside, we were greeted by who I believe were the owners. What a warm welcome. After perusing the menu, I quickly decided what I wanted. I chose the wings. My mother, nephew and niece were also with us. My mother chose the Peri Peri wrap, and my nephew the Chicken Quesadilla. My sister couldn't stand that I chose a good place to eat so she ordered the Cajun Blackened Chicken Pasta that she shared with my niece. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. The food was so good! Not only was the food excellent, the portion size was just right. Of course, we felt like it was a lot but we definitely weren't complaining. While we waited for our food, we spoke with the guy that took our order. He was so nice and he took time to answer questions that we had about some of the menu items. We will definitely be back to visit. There are so many other yummy choices on the menu that we want to try.

Twisted Turban is awesome. I love it. A great Tex Mex Indian food. I have dined here a few times and the food and service has been great every single time. This last was no different. The place was completely packed and there was no spot to sit. We still went ahead and ordered with the hopes of somebody getting up soon. We ordered the turban tacos, the shrimp tacos, the turban burger, and the single wat burger. Loved the turban tacos, shredded beef and sauce. The shrimp tacos were good too, but they could add more meat to it so that the meat to tortilla ratio evens out. The turban burger was good too and so was the single wat. They were flavorful with nice size patty and fixings. My only suggestion is for them to add mayo or butter to the buns as the buns feel dry without it. Also, they need to grill the bun and not serve them at room temperature. Other than that, all is good. I've had their Chaat also on a separate occasion, and that's pretty good too. A good recommendation for yelpers, who haven't tried it out yet.

Wow! Best burger I've maybe had ever. Fresh meat, amazing flavor...off the charts. It's messy but those make the best burgers. The queso was top notch too! Perfect blend. Very friendly and very helpful too.

Cynthia E.

Wrap Chic Taco is easily one of the best things I've ever eaten. Love the flaky paratha!! The tandoori chicken is perfectly seasoned. The sauces and the carrot slaw - a perfect blend of mellow spicy flavors. I love it!!

Turban Burger and Seasoned Fries. Fries were crispy and burger was yummy.

This is THE spot if you're looking for some good comfort food. The loaded tots with beef are hands down the best thing on the menu, definitely get that if you're trying Twisted Turban for the first time. The last time I went, I tried the mac lovin burger. The beef patty was a little dry and it was really messy to eat because none of the mac n cheese actually stayed in the burger. The flavors were still good though. I've also tried their blackened chicken pasta, texas chalupa chaat, and samosa chaat, which were all very good! read more

Oh Emmm Geee!!! Hands down a MUST try for halal burgers in town. My new FAVORITE spot for sure. Great service, quality of food & pricing! I took my family here yesterday for the 1st time & we pretty much ordered EVERYTHING off the menu but it was all very good not lying (minus the nachos)! Ok so we got the chaat, corn, loaded fries & nachos for appetizers. Fries & chaat was delicious but the other 2 not so much. Then for meals we got 3 different kinds of burgers, I tried their El Diablo I believe & OMG!!! Burger heaven not to mention they put chips in yo burger... WAIT WHAAA! Ok so I loved it then we also got a chicken wrap & chicken burger along with a chicken paratha quesadilla which was very yummy! So for sure try it out it's worth it & their house tiramisu was complimentary from the owner so that was sweet & it was perfect for the HOT weather. Only thing I will say is it's very small & a more teenager hang out type spot. I'll be back for sure but probably get it to go this time. Overall nothing bad for now to say about this place. Everything was wonderful!!! read more

Came here twice after hearing the hype about the food. The restaurant was designed after an urban look with a twist of a desi style. We ordered the tater tots TNT style which has extra sauces and meat. We also got the nachos and a wrap. All of the food was very tasty and my family and I would highly recommend the tater tots TNT style.The serving size of all the plates were generous and were good enough to share. We were able to chat with the some of the owners and they were very down to earth, pleasant, and friendly. The food they present on the menu is a good mix of authentic desi food and Mexican style food. All in all, I highly recommend trying out this place!

Twisted Turban became our go-to place during the lockdown as they're conveniently located for us. Their customer service is on point all the time and the discounts offered during and after COVID lockdown make it even more attractive for eating at Twisted Turban. Let's talk food. Turban Burger - Different from cheeseburger but fulfills the appetite for a cheese/gourmet burger. This is my favorite burger and if you're in a mood to take out then make sure to ask them to give sauce on the side. Crispy Fried Chicken Burger - Very flavorful, sometimes closer to Ten Chicken burger that sells at other places or this even tasted better than others. For health conscious burger eaters, this can be done grilled which helps lower carb intake and etc. Diablo Burger - Recommended when your palette needs an awakening with spice. If I'm not in a mood to eat Thai Hot food but still want to satisfy my cravings for spice, I find Diablo Burger as a very satisfying alternative. We have also tried Chikna, Oey Goey, and other burgers and have never been dissatisfied with any of their offerings. Kids chicken nuggets with fries and Mac & Cheese are also very flavorful, and very popular with my children. I am very happy that Twisted Turban is fighting through this pandemic and wish them nothing but the best! We will continue to visit them as often as possible to ensure that we are doing our part during these times. read more

I decided to give this place a try after reading all the wonderful reviews on Yelp. I'm happy to say that this place did not disappoint. The cashiers were very friendly and knowledgeable and they even offered advice on the menu items. I had the Turban Burger and it was delicious. The 100% beef patty tasted like a good old home cooked burger with brisket on top to create a unique tasting burger. I also ordered the TNT tots. The tots were great! I consider myself to have a high tolerance for spicy food but even I was sweating after eating a few of these. Don't be fooled, these tots pack a kick. They're so good Napoleon would approve. If you like trying out new things, be sure to give this place a visit. You will not be disappointed. This place is one of a kind and it's a hidden gem in the Alief area of Houston. read more

I had such high hopes for this place, but it was definitely NOT what I expected. I came here on a Sunday night, and the whole place was EMPTY. You order at the counter and find a table yourself. We ordered the Loaded Tots, a Chicken Sandwich, and the Chicken Quesadilla. We were probably sitting down for about 20 mins before we even got our appetizer... which made no sense because the place was completely empty. The tots were decent, they definitely look better than they taste. The sandwich and quesadilla were both too burnt to even enjoy. This place was such a disappointment, I definitely won't be coming back. read more

This restaurant is relatively new in the Alief area. The environment was very welcoming with murals of the local sports teams on the wall and many TVs to watch the sports games. After seeing advertisements on social media websites, a group of friends and I decided to check it out. After surveying the menu I decided on the Papdi Burger.(which didn't come with fries) After waiting for about 15 minutes or so on a slow day, I happened to peek into the kitchen. The kitchen was fully packed and clean, given these circumstances, our food should have not taken more than 20 minutes to come out. On initial inspection of my food, the portion size was not at all justified by the relatively steep price of $8.65 I paid. The food itself was very good. You can taste that they prepare their food with fresh and quality ingredients. The service was very admirable as the waitress frequently checked in and asked if we needed anything such as silverware. Overall the experience garnered a lot to be desired as things such as portion size and price may need to be re-evaluated. The food itself was very enjoyable along with the top notch customer service. read more

After having the Diablo Burger last time (which mind you, is officially back on the menu!), it was hard not to get the Devilishly hot Diablo Burger again, but alas, Turban Burger was DELICIOUS, and our next trip will be even tougher to decide. The brisket, combined with the fresh mango slaw, meunster cheese, and turban sauce, all atop a medium rare patty cooked to perfection, made for a mouth watering gem only to be found at Twisted Turban. I absolutely had to have another order of the street corn, which is what I would describe as a spicy, less creamy, creamed corn, with the Twisted flair that really makes it dangerously addicting. My wife had a special item, the Azian Zing Zliders. Two lightly fried "biscuits" for buns, a 4oz medium rare Patty topped with meunster cheese and a fried wonton. The bite she left me was $$$! Coming here for the second time, it's good to see crowds coming and going, but surprisingly with the quality of food and service, it's odd not to see a line out the door. This is truly a hidden gem in West Houston, and we are pumped to have it so close to home. If you're looking for a mix between Indian, Tex-Mex, and BBQ, this is your spot. Do it! read more

I had loved this place once upon a time but decided to order some nachos with beef and the condition I received them in is horrendous. I'm sure one can say it's because they were not eaten right away or whatever but wallah this is after eating them right away within a minute of getting them in my hands.... very upset that these nearly 9 dollar nachos are such a disappointment. Smh. Family owned fusion establishments are always unique and quality oriented. The prices can be slightly lower or the quantity be slightly more but the quality is why I'd give this place 5 stars. I had the twisted turban burger and thought it was truly worth coming back and recommending this place to several of my buddies! Definitely worth a shot and will definitely have you thinking about it after eat read more

Got the turban burger, turban taco, and sweet corn! The burger was delicious and the meat was very soft. It felt like it was melting in my mouth! The taco was also pretty interesting, I loved the concept of using Naan bread as the taco tortilla. The restaurant was surprisingly nice and clean, and also has a hipster vibe going on. I would come back to try their other menu items! read more

Drop everything and go check this place out! From the items we tried, the turban burger is amazing! The buns are great, light and fluffy but still hold the burger together. The meat is a 100% beef patty, cooked to perfection topped with brisket. The brisket I can personally do without, but it works well with the other ingredients. The meat is topped with Muenster cheese, nice fresh cabbage mango slaw and a orange sauce termed "turban sauce" this is definitely the kicker. All of the flavors come together well. If you want a "not your typical burger" then this is the place for you. My hubby ordered the diablo burger and whoooooo that thing was spicy. The meat patty has Serrano Chili and the patty is topped with a habanero sauce. This thing is spicy y'all, proceed with caution. It is still delicious. Highly recommend this cool joint! read more

I finally had a chance to try his restaurant after hearing about it from a few friends. I was told that the food was delicious and I couldn't agree more! I loved the Loaded Tots and got them with half beef half chicken. They were super fresh and flavorful and a great item to share with the table. I also got a Blazing Chicken Wrap and was glad I tried it. It has a number of sauces inside which make it super flavorful. The chicken tasted very fresh and the Paratha (bread) was just right- warm, flaky, and reminded you of home. I ordered the Turban Burger and felt that it too was yummy. I had the chance to try the Diablo Burger as well and felt that this was more of a conventional burger compared to the Turban Burger. Both were flavorful though! I would definitively recommend trying this place. I know that the restaurant will become a frequently visited spot for me and my friends! read more

Confessions of a first time mom: 2019 is here, and take out is what's on the menu as the easiest thing to cook with a newborn is nothing at all. Anyways, I was really looking forward to trying this place. Indian/burger/taco fusion--what could be better?! I called in to place an order for pick up. As usual, the hubby and I ordered half the menu. The person who picked up the phone seemed nice. The conversation started with me saying I wanted to place an order for pick-up (I already had my list ready to go), and she proceeded to tell me that the special of the day was this chicken fusilli pasta. I proceeded to tell her my order: Me: I would like the turban tacos. Her: would you like to try our special? Me: No thank you, but I would like to order the diablo burger. Her: Ok one diablo burger. Would you like to try the chicken fusilli pasta? Me: No thank you, but I would also like to order the turban burger. Her: The chicken fusilli pasta is really good. Would you like to try it? We are really pushing for the pasta here, but after much back and forth, I did not order the chicken fusilli pasta much to everyone's dismay. In addition to the turban tacos, turban burger, diablo burger (with added beef bacon), we also order the blazing chicken wrap, the loaded tots, and the samosa chaat. I enjoyed the samosa chaat and the loaded tots. I appreciated the fact that since we ordered take out, the toppings for the loaded tots were placed in separate containers. I was really looking forward to these burgers; especially the turban burger which is a beef patty topped with brisket, mango slaw, muenster cheese, and their turban sauce. The diablo also sounded decent since I love spicy food, and the patty is stuffed with serrano peppers, topped with jalapeños, jalapeño chips, pepper jack, onions, and a jalapeño popper. Sadly the burgers fell a little short in my book. The patties were thick, but not juicy and tasted a little dry. I also wish the mango slaw had some vinegar or something to amp up the flavor profile. The diablo burger was decent as far as spice, but could have also used some other sauce. The husband and I were full from the burgers, and halfway through a burger, duty called (i.e. the baby started crying), and I didn't really have a chance to try the tacos. Those my husband said he preferred over the burgers in that the tortilla was decently crispy. I feel like this place has a lot of potential, and may try it out again in the future. Baby and I give this place a serious but solid 3 stars. read more

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.

This restaurant is a complete rip off. Please save your money from these thieves. I went there last week with my family, I was disappointed after all the hype on the radio. They pretend to be a high end restaurant but in reality its just a below average place. Small portions of food for very high price. I ordered two Elite karahis, it was mostly bones, fat and oil. Raita came in two small cups after we already finished the karahis. Management was completely lost and unprofessional. No one was picking up the dirty dishes. All the waiters were looking at each other and running away from work. $4.99 for chicken corn soup in a small cup, wow, that is ridiculous. There was no courtesy, no smile, no customer appreciation, small tables but a big bill at the end. read more
