"I was at Dada's with 4 friends on 18th June from 8pm to 10.30pm. They had a special offer - from 6-10pm workd ays 2 bowls for the price of 1 - so we all took advantage of it. They did not have the sauces we all wanted so chose the only ones from the big list - tomato and basil and coconut and curry.
Was served by a charming nice lady "Una" and took our driks orders.
the bowls are small, but if organise the raw food into the bowl, can make a good high pile! I liked the array of choices.
I was worried to see the cook swiped his nose with a cloth and then use that cloth to clean the frying area (to fry the food and the sauce on it).
After eating the 2 nice bowls of food, one bowl was still left from my friends girlfriend, so we filled it and asked the cook to have it in half - he was kind to do it - a new waitress - "botox face" waitress - blond and looked angry to serve us, jsut dumped the bowls on the table away from me, without bothering to ask who it was for - also the food was in bowls, not on a plate as the other waitress nicely did with smile and politely.
This waitress i called her she came back angrilty adn not smiling as if it was big trouble for her, and told her i need my food in my plate, if it was not much trouble , she did not talk, no eye contact no feel she was happy, more angry and went to get a plate and came back and dumped the plate and went..i called her that i wanted my food in the plate..she looked angrily at me and took my plate and bowl of food to the back (my friends think she spat in my food!), and again not talking just dumped the food on my table, with no "enjoy your meal", "here you go" just as she was very upset. It was terrible to ruin a nice evening like that.
I told the manangeress, when leaving, she should teach her waitress to smile and be polite. Not sure if she really was interested - but left a good tip and told them to give that to "Una" the nice waitress.
I have been to Dada's a few times this year and this was my worst experience. I know my 3 of 4 friends present, do not plan to go back to Dada's with such attitude and fear that waitress will be trouble. My friend was saying when we were putting the food into our bowl, she was looking at us in strange way not happily at us.
Is this how Dada's waitress are to foreigners who are living in Latvia?
I am 50-50 if to go back to Dada's.
I love to hear what is Dada's managemnt have to say about this terrible incident.
