New Delhi Restaurant Denies Entry To Customers For Wearing Indian Clothes
Monday, March 23, 2020 IST
A tweet changed everything for this New Delhi restaurant, after a Twitterati called them out on their ‘rules’.
“@bishnoikuldeep My shocking experience with discrimination at Kylin and Ivy, Ambience Vasant Kunj this evening. Denied entry as ethnic wear is not allowed! A restaurant in India allows ‘smart casuals’ but not Indian wear! Whatever happened to pride in being Indian? Take a stand!” a woman wrote on Twitter while sharing the video.
In the video, the hotel staff can be seen citing rules that they do not allow people wearing Indian ethnic wear and refusing entry to the woman and another person.
Congress leader Sharmistha Mukherjee termed the restaurant’s behaviour as ‘colonial mindset’, while others too lambasted the restaurant. “Restaurants in India thinking Indian clothes will cheapen the ambience of their restaurants. Kamaal hai Kamaal” tweeted a user.
Here’s what the owner had to say:
