Similar to the (sadly, fading) Bar Mleczny in Poland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_mleczny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_mleczny
Simple food (Polish food obviously, not Indian), government-subsidized, targeted at students, the elderly, the poor, but not means-tested or anything so technically anyone can get a plate, including foreigners, for very cheap. Typically very good food, but horrible customer service (old women yelling at you to make up your mind while you order, etc).
- rbanffy 9y ago> horrible customer service Things like that can easily become the identity of the place.
- shostack 9y agoCan confirm. Visit Wiener Circle or Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago (especially at night) for an entertaining service experience.
- CamTin 9y agoIt's definitely part of the charm. Also motivates you to work on your Polish so you aren't tongue-tied.
- rbanffy 9y agoI'll check with my Polish neighbors. Seems horrendously hard.
- pm90 9y agoI mean, is customer service really that important? If the food is cheap and nutritious, I wouldn't mind being shouted at by an old lady ;).
