Customer Friendly- True India Story

Me and a few of my old school pals were in Cannaught Place, New Delhi this evening. A Japanese style restaurant usher invited us to check out his restaurant. We agreed, and took a walk in. He asked us to have a seat and try their restaurant. I jested with him about how much discount he would give to a first time customer, and asked for a 50% discount. The usher jokingly said why not 100%. We just joked with him and asked to see the manager. When the manager arrived, we jokingly and sweetly told him that we came to his restaurant assuming we would be given a 100% discount to which he replied saying, " Enjoy your evening sir" and walked away smiling.

And true to his word, we did not pay a penny and enjoyed our evening. The bill for the 'Evening" was approximately 200 International Dollars and we paid nothing. We tipped the usher handsomely though. I feel this can happen only in India. The restaurant is called Bonsai and is in the inner circle, right where the Cafe Coffee day is. Cheers India. Cheers Bonsai.
