    Me and my wife attended your SA festival on Sunday evening. We ordered
    Food called pavbhaji at Bombay Chowpati.we were shocked to see in black colour as it is burnt. It should have tomato colour. We could not eat and threw in garbage bin. Secondly we tried chicken showarma sandwich at restaurant which was at last corner of this festival. They gave us cold one and I returned it. Second time they give me without salad, tomato and no sauce. When I returned it they got angry and returned my 5 c$.it was disgusting as there is no control of quality and poor treatment to cusomers
