I just came across this write up and feel it very rightly brings about the essence of true Indian Hospitality. Having traveled extensively across the length and breath of the Country, I have personally been at the receiving end of umpteen acts of such Hospitality. We at Tunduree try to imbibe this tradition and practice it every day.

I strongly believe, that it is just a matter of time before which any guest at our establishment would forget what a particular dish tasted like, It may be just a few weeks, months or may be years. But what remains etched in their subconscious mind forever is how they were treated and greeted when they were in the restaurant. Even if the food was not up to their expectation, they would be willing to come in again just because they felt nice in the warmth of the hospitality showered upon them. This is precisely what the ancient Indian Scriptures teach us- treat your guests as gods- In effect, treat your guests with the utmost respect and warmth, and put their wellbeing above yours.
