Unfortunately, this was our last visit to Tempura Halal Grill. My family and I had already experienced poor service here before. I had visited many times in the past, but this recent experience with the worst service yet confirmed our decision not to return. First, several buffet items were almost empty and were never refilled. When we asked the owner to refill chicken and noodles, he refused—even though it was only 8:20 PM. I had called earlier and was told the buffet would be open until 9:00 PM and the restaurant closes at 9:30 PM. My girlfriend and I could only eat from about half of the available dishes, including dessert. Second, we had to repeatedly ask for basic things like water, and the service was extremely slow. The owner, in particular, did not seem to care that customers were waiting near station for 10–15 minutes just to get naan. There was no acknowledgment or apology for the empty food stations. The staff avoided customers instead of helping them. Third—and most disappointing—was the sudden price increase and added service fee, justified in the name of a religious festival (Eid). Using religion as a reason to raise prices without any prior notice feels inappropriate. What made this even more frustrating is the sudden price increase. We used to pay around $43 for two people, and now it’s almost $65 for the same buffet experience—with worse service and half-empty food stations. It’s disappointing to see business owners use tactics like this without transparency. With poor service, empty food stations, and unjustified extra charges, this experience was extremely frustrating.
