Based on some excellent reviews of the place having been newly launched, I went over to Ashvita last sunday afternoon. Yes, I wasn't expected super efficient service, but I would've appreciated 'any service at all'.
To start off, it's a nice quiet place, fairly easy to find, and a pleasently modern outdoorsy ambience. it's got a nice water body, with a water fall flowing through a gold leaf painted backdrop.
And thats pretty much where it ends. We waited for about ten minutes to even catch a steward's eye. He then strolled across oozing lethargy. I asked for the menu and he pointed to this pathetic black and white times-new-roman printout with shabby edges, that was interted into an acrylic see through stand. Including 'tea/ coffee and soft drinks' the menu had all of 12 to 15 items on it.
I then asked him if this was all-- he said yes, and when I asked in disbelief if they didn't have a 'lunch menu', he casually said "oh, you want a lunch menu??". Why else would I be there at 3:00 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon!!
He got us a fancy glass 'tablet' on which the menu was etched, but apparently the only thing available was a 'momo platter'.
it was obvious they had no intention of serving us!
I think the place was made 'just for fun' like an annexe to the art gallery. So do not make the mistake of going there to 'eat'. They'd be more than happy to have people only 'hang around', cos thats what the wait staff seem to be doing--'hangin' around'!!

I'm glad you've taken it in the right spirit. Just that you've acknowledged the review may bring me back there and definately look forward to improved service.
You definately need someone to supervise your wait staff though!
Cheers!! and Good Luck!! I know it takes a while to stabilize!
