The owners are not scammers, they are a kind, Christian family trying to stay afloat in a tough economy, all businesses in the area took a huge hit over the last couple of years as a result of the rebuilding of high street. The prices are on the cheap side compared to most Columbus restaurants, and the charge for the seating is listed right on the menu. They have to have these tables shipped in from Ethiopia for gods sake... I've never been to an ethnic restaurant where extra bread is free, you may get Naan with your curry but I would expect to pay for extra bread, this ain't Spaghetti Warehouse. And the owner really is a busy man, with a family of five plus extended family to look after, a restaurant to run, and being an active person in his church and community. We have been going there for over 15 years and they have always treated us with a kindness and graciousness and even given us free extras because we are nice to them. Sure, you may wait for your drink refill a little longer than at some corporate restaurant, but have a little humility. I have never ever heard the owner be rude to anybody in hundreds of visits there, one time he even had a hard time asking a woman to put out her cigarette. He practically falls over backward greeting customers with a smile. They also never fail to greet our children and ask how they are doing. And the food is awesome, the eggplant in particular is a family recipe from the owner's wife.
