Go to Harrods, Drink Coffee and Get Ripped Off! Not part of the Holiday Plans?




































Q20 were 3 pieces of dates, normal dates - not exquisitely embroidered with edible gold thread. Coffee was not disgustingly expensive poop imported from Sumatra.

Un-flipping-believable!

As, Makhzoomi, an  amusing Instagrammer said "2timing fudruckers!!" 

I kind of feel like I should apologise, being British and all, but as it is no longer owned by the Brits one has to agree with Makhzoomi. Outrageous!

Thanks for the photo Fatima2T.

    1. Firsly, there is no need to use such ugly, foul language. Secondly, I am one of those people who doesn't need a menu - or ask for one - when ordering a coffee and something sweet to go with it. One assumes these prices to be a little higher due to the location but the above prices were ridiculously high.

  3. I like how they say an "optional 12.5% has been added to your bill." How can it be OPTIONAL if they've already added it? Eeek.

    It must be part of getting old, but I just don't want to go out anymore, have lousy service, be in the company of spoiled parents with equally spoiled children, and then get slammed with an outrageous bill for only nominally-decent food. Why?

    Breakfast at Bayan Restaurant in Salmiya (opens at 5am): chai-7alib: .250 fils. Chapathi and eggs (with onions and tomatoes): 1.000kd. THAT is a decent breakfast.

    1. Agree too few places offering good food and good service. It so annoys me when I have to pay for poor quality food and shoddy service. Oooo yum, yum sounds good to me. Though our housekeeper makes a mean Bengali breakfast and I can eat in my PJs. Yay!
