The pasta got me hooked on first bite, left me craving for more

I can't recommend to go in here if it's even a little bit busy. Two iced teas and a lassi took 40 minutes to arrive, three small platters a little more than an hour, we were constantly reminding the owner who honestly seemed more interested in selling his art pieces and making small talk than helping the orders get out on time. Just one or two guys in the kitchen could not cope with the orders. No hustle at all. I'm not sure if they even got the message from the owner of what they were supposed to be preparing. Other people at their tables were not impressed and left. Lebanese platter contained mostly uncooked items anyway so not sure why that took so long and the rest of the food was just ok.

Stepped in there as it looked cosy and clean, just around 7pm. The waiter knows hardly any english, although the customers are pretty close to 100% foreigners. Had the menue in hands as soon as attempting to sit down. Ordered a Jasmin tea which turned out to be green tea with jasmin. Didn't want green tea and returned it. Ordered a vegetable soup while big discussions about the tea went on. As soon as I placed my order the guys started taking the plants and signs in. Felt like in a storage room. Got soup of raw but hot vegetable and two quarters of cheapest toast bread instead of Chapatti for more than 2€. Was told to finish it without any rush, while the whole staff was standing at the kitchencorner staring at me, waiting until I eventually leave. Got the bill while eating. Dared to ask why I was not told that they are closing, as opening hours are not shown outside, and added that the soup was very overpriced. Instead of a friendly sorry the owner started arguing with me. The cafe is totally overrated by tourists who have apparently never been to a good Indian restaurant, with real good food, polite, capable and supportive staff. This place is definitely none of them.
