When his date began ordering Jägerbomb– shot of Jägermeister into a glass of an energy drink– each costing Rs 1200, the man decided to reveal that he had no more than Rs 3000 to spend for their date. The man was left dumbstruck when the woman, name disclosed as Bhumi by the man, ordered for the bill. Rs 11,958 was the amount the two owed to the cafe. However, in his post, the man revealed that the woman admitted to him that all she was carrying was Rs 100. Perplexed, the man asked the staff at the cafe to split the bill and stop the woman from leaving the premises.

But that's not even the worst part," a user wrote in their review before adding," This place seems to run on a trap-like business model. I was approached by a girl named Varsha, supposedly just to accompany for conversation—but it quickly became clear this was all part of a setup. Without my clear consent, expensive items kept getting added to the bill—drinks I didn't order, food I didn't even get a chance to try. The prices were shockingly high, and the final bill was outrageous." Another user shared a similar experience. 'This restaurant and bar is a scam. Too much Over price. One shot of jagermaster 1200rs and 500rs for red bull. 10% Servicing charges not optional you must have to pay and additionally they will charge you 25% VAT. I suggest do not go to this restaurant and bar (sic)." 'This place is scam. Please stay away from here and their agents. They ruined out night and wasted over 10,000 inr, (sic)" another chimed.
