restaurant

The uniform of the staff

Attitude of the staffs: All the staffs are friendly and nice. Some of them are quite easy- going, that they are willing to talk to us. Whenever we have the needs, they will come to serve us quickly with high efficiency. They even explain the dishes for us patiently, and explain the sauce match with the dish.

Totally there are three staffs to serve us during the meal. It seems not much staff structure. All of the staffs listen to this Manager. P.1

Overall FeelingI think this is really a nice Indian style restaurant among all those that I’ve been before. Since it is located near Lan Kwai Fong (one of the tourist spot of Hong Kong) the atmosphere is great. With the friendly attitude and services provided by the staffs, I think it is totally amazing. I would recommend it to my friends. The food quality is good, for people who enjoy eating spicy food or would like to have a drink, here’s is a good destination for them.

Recommendations

P.14

1. The suggest the restaurant not only use Chinese and English on the menu, but also add in Indian as well, since it is an Indian restaurant, adding Indian character will add the feel of it being an Indian restaurant.

2. Besides. This customer sources are mainly foreign visitors (mainly non local people). Therefore I suggest the restaurant putting more stress on advertising so as to attract the local people to come.
