| This is how majority of the Indian restaurants work. 1. You find the first empty table around and sit. No one takes you to your table. Sometimes, you even share the table with another person if you are there without family. Many don't mind unless they are there with friends and want some private conversations (but then, the Indian restaurants are not the right place for this) 2. The menu is on the table or stuck on the wall. Most times, there are no menu. Someone comes to you and recite the whole list of available items. 3. Soup, appetizer ?? That is not part of the South Indian menu. If you order meals, you get all in one plate. 4. If you need something, you call the waiter nearest you. If required - shout or whistle. No one would mind you doing so. The places are often crowded specially during lunch and dinner time. If you need some calm place, you have to go to upscale restaurants. EDIT - As someone below said, you are not their target customer. |
