Al-Dar II

I am a gluten/wheat intolerant person, I usually buy a “schwarma” takeaway for lunch sans the wheat-based dough and get rice in exchange for a fair price of £5. That’s rice with some lamb or chicken kebab shavings, tomato slice, pickle slice, onions, garlic sauce. Delicious! At 18:26 on 04/12/09, I purchased same, but sat at a table in the restaurant. Being unable to finish the plate of food, I asked for it to be packed for take away. I was charged a WHOPPING £13.75 !!! I had no beverages. That’s more than double?!! The man at the till, presumably the manager, said “this is the King’s Road”. (So?!) “and I’ve got to pay the rent, it’s £300,000”. (not MY problem) Did he decide to charge me the earth, because I was carrying a Jimmy Choo bag someone had given me as a gift?!

My dish was not even printed on the menu, PLUS I WAS CHARGED MORE than similar items on the menu!!! Unable to reason with him, I paid the money, BUT I WILL NEVER go there again and as an influential person in and around Chelsea, I will definitely spread the word. What a shame for Al Dar.
