While at it, I thought I might as well voice my experience with one of the restaurants in conversation.. To begin with, I feel it is too early to pass judgements about both the establishments as they just set their first step. As Ashu dai said, running a restaurant or any business isn't everybody's piece of cake. If it were, we wouldn't be sitting here dissecting every step the other person over the fence took but rejoicing at the marvelous job he had executed. There is so much to it than what you see around your immediate vicinity..this I say after having worked in a similar business for several years. First of all, I am at awe that the owners of both the businesses took that plunge. With that said, I do feel that one of the restaurants needs to work on a lot of things and I didn't hesitate to voice my opinion and concern to the owner or the employees ..( I am yet to visit the second one)..I rather do that with the person who can (I hope) put my concerns to actions rather than walking out of the business with unsettled emotions and thoughts...What use would that do to me anyway? After having talked to the Kathmandu Spice people, I found out that they serve Lunch Buffets every day until 3 or 3:30 (I forgot the exact time)..The regular menue is served for Dinner only, which is from 5:30-10:30 (I think..that's my bad memory working at its best). The foodie that I am-give me anything with rice, I'll eat it happily. But, if you are going to Kathmandu Spice looking for authentic Nepali cuisine, I suggest go for Sunday Buffets; that's when (I was told) your Nepali pallets will be satiated and I'll bet you'll go back asking for more. As I was told, they like to experiment with their buffet settings...Give them your valuable suggests and I'll bet you, they'll follow to it. As they did with "Budi and Sewai ko pudding" for me. The Chef, who seems to be a biggie on using mustard seeds and curry leaves on every cuisine, I discovered is from South India. I'm sure you can draw the parallels now. In conclusion, small businesses are always willing to implement any suggestions you and I have. So, what is it going to be next time for you--Walking out with an awkward feeling or state of exuberance for articulating your valuable thoughts? Choose wisely, as your thoughts and opinions will be rewarded (I hope)... Bon appetit!
