My recent visit to Gowri Krishna Hotel was unfortunately an extremely underwhelming experience that I feel compelled to share. While I generally enjoy reviewing local establishments, the issues here went beyond minor glitches and significantly impacted my dining experience. I initially ordered a Chapati Set, which was served. Following this, I placed an order for a simple PLAIN DOSA. This is where the service deteriorated significantly. I waited for a staggering 15 minutes for this single dosa. While I initially tried to rationalize the delay, assuming it was due to the rushing crowd of customers, the reality proved to be much more frustrating. The most annoying and frankly unacceptable part of the experience occurred when I witnessed a blatant lapse in order management and fairness. A customer who ordered after me was served their PLAIN DOSA while I was still waiting for mine. I attempted to flag down several waiters, but despite my repeated efforts and the visible oversight, my order was still not delivered. This instance of serving a later-ordered item while neglecting a prior, identical order points to a critical failure in the hotel's service system. It felt as if the staff were prioritizing newer customers or those who happened to order at a specific time, completely ignoring the basic principle of 'first-come, first-served.' The staff's lack of accountability and the continued delay in correcting this error was the painstaking aspect of the visit. The combination of dated ambiance, disinterested staff, agonizingly slow service, and the clear display of prioritizing others over an existing, waiting customer left me deeply dissatisfied. A simple PLAIN DOSA should not be a 15+ minute ordeal, especially when newer patrons are being served first. Until the Gowri Krishna Hotel addresses its significant issues with order management and staff engagement, I cannot recommend it. Save yourself the wait and the frustration.
