excessive wait times and poor service at the restaurant

Business reply on Google

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Our food takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare, and we can handle busy periods efficiently. However, I personally take about 35 minutes to get ready and ensure that we deliver high-quality, standard food to everyone. We prioritize providing excellent customer service and will strive to improve our service. We hope to see you again soon.

Business reply on Google

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly glad you enjoyed the food and overall experience at Diwan Restaurant. We sincerely apologize that the interaction at the end of your visit made you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. I want to clarify that the number you mentioned was just confirmed for payment due to an internet issue. The communication problem was not related to your race, appearance, or any other personal characteristics, and we regret that things came to that point. We serve and welcome guests from all backgrounds and treat everyone with dignity and respect, which is extremely important to us. We are addressing this matter with our staff to ensure that this does not happen again. Thank you again for visiting and bringing this to our attention. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a positive experience. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have occurred.

restaurant refused service to customers after a long wait

Business reply on Google

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that our team is committed to providing excellent service to all our guests. We make every effort to seat and serve customers as efficiently as possible, even during busy times. Occasionally, there may be short waits while tables are cleaned and prepared for the next guest. Today, we had a large group reservation that occupied almost half of the restaurant, which is why we had limited seating. We take customer service very seriously and never intentionally ignore anyone.

Slow service, poor food quality, and overpriced menu items.

Business reply on Google

Hi Sabiha, we sincerely apologize for the incident and regret to inform you that we will be working on areas that require improvement. However, I believe everyone is satisfied with the portion size. It’s any 3 skewer Kabab or a mix, and the price is quite reasonable. I’ve noticed that many of our customers enjoy the food. We would like to invite you back for another visit so that you can try it again. Thank you!

poor customer service and inedible food quality

Business reply on Google

Thank you for your feedback. We regret to hear that you had a negative experience. Could you please provide us with the date and table number where you were seated so that I can review the CCTV footage to enhance our service in the future? However, smoothies are ordered by the customer, and we offer a wide variety of beverages in addition to our food. We cook our food to high-quality standards to ensure that everyone enjoys it. If you didn’t like the food and you mentioned you didn’t touched how you know it’s awful? Respectfully,

Poor service timing, small portion sizes, and lack of value.

Business reply on Google

I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. However, I can assure you that our portions are generous. As you can see from the reviews, everyone mentions that our portions are large, and the skewers are big enough to be over 6 inches long. The prices are also very reasonable. For example, you can get one square kebab from Food Truck for just $12. We also offer a special deal where you can get three square kebabs with rice bread soup for free for $25.
