My name is Maya, and I visited the restaurant on October 27, 2023, at 8:30 PM with a reservation. Unfortunately, our evening was overshadowed by an embarrassing incident. The front desk staff approached my son about his attire—specifically, his plain black Gap joggers—which are really no different from many other similar black pants. It was inappropriate for the staff member to confront my child in such a way, especially since he was clearly upset by the encounter.
We were waiting for friends to celebrate a birthday and noticed other children, including 8-year-olds, dining in joggers without any issues. Moreover, I observed older patrons in joggers leaving the restaurant without any comment...
I was really looking forward to dining at Samudhra for a special experience since my family enjoys exploring diverse cuisines. We always make sure to dress appropriately when we go out to eat. Unfortunately, after witnessing how the staff treated their customers with such inconsistent and blatant disrespect, I've decided to take my family to another restaurant. This is not the kind of experience I want to share.
Frankly I find it to be average food selling for absurd prices at a nice looking restaurant. They are trying to look like an expensive restaurant with fancy dress code, prices and all. I think the focus on food should be the first priority!!! And then the rest can follow. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

I was disappointed to find that they do not allow entry if you're wearing track pants, which was never mentioned beforehand. I will be taking my business elsewhere and definitely won't be returning to this establishment.
