Avoid Sinbad Restaurant
Avoid Sinbad Restaurant – Disrespectful Staff and Poor Service
My friend and I visited Sindbad Restaurant tonight at 9:45 PM, hoping to enjoy a peaceful dinner. What we experienced instead was one of the most disrespectful and disappointing encounters we've ever had at any restaurant.
Despite there being plenty of clean, empty tables on the right side of the restaurant, the waiter flat-out refused to seat us. His excuse? They were closing in over an hour and "wouldn’t have time to clean those tables again." Seriously? Since when is it acceptable to turn away paying customers because staff can't be bothered to clean? Isn’t that literally part of the job?
We were treated like an inconvenience—no warmth, no professionalism, just attitude. The way we were dismissed made it feel like we were being judged unfairly, as if two respectful adults would somehow trash the place. It was insulting, rude, and completely unnecessary.
Not only was this poor customer service, it also goes completely against the values of hospitality—especially disappointing coming from a restaurant that represents Middle Eastern culture, which is known for generosity and respect.
We ended up leaving without eating, completely turned off by their attitude. I even took a video of the interaction to document just how poorly we were treated. This is not how any business should operate, and certainly not how you treat people walking in with good intentions.
If you respect your time, money, and dignity—go somewhere else. There are plenty of restaurants that understand what service and hospitality actually mean. Keep in mind these guys will have no legs to stand on to make up nor am I going to remove this review rather will keep others aware of how they deal with sincere customers.
