This is a complete rip-off organisation. The setting is beautiful and the food is very good, but … there seems to be a deliberate arrangement to rip off customers for drinks. Our group of six each ordered a gin and tonic. What arrived was six glasses each containing a minuscule amount of, what proved to be, diluted down gin. When the bill arrived the charge was for six double gins. Upon contesting this, pointing out that the serves were less even than one proper shot, the bill was adjusted to charge for single gins. ||The wait staff declined our request that they demonstrate (with water) what level in the glass a single gin would look like.||The tonic water was charged separately. ||The total bill, for six gins, six tonic waters, six perriers, one glass of wine, one scotch, and two cups of tea, was presented as being 17,280 Indian rupees (US$198).||After continuous argument, in the course of which the wait staff apologised for what they admitted was a “mistake”, a revised bill of 12,300 Indian rupees (US$142) was presented. Nearly US$24 per head, when most of the group had nothing more than a (watered down) gin and tonic plus a small bottle of Perrier. ||Rather than continue an unseemly argument we paid the bill. ||In our journey around India we never encountered any other dilution of alcohol, pouring short measures, or falsely charging for doubles when doubles were not served. ||Only in Delhi!!!!! What a disappointing end to an otherwise fabulous trip round India!
