This is Ranjeet – one of the owners of Cafe Tarra. Thank you for a nice review and also your patronage!

Like you, I too was a patron of the Cafe in its previous incarnation (then called De Lekkerbek) and I too got worried when the place appeared empty! So a friend of mine and I bought the place

Anyway, as it happens, we do make a small profit now and enjoy eating there a couple of times a week. The crowded times are Sat/Sun mornings and at other times people treacle in. But don’t worry we will not close the place

All the best,
Ranjeet

p.s. If you are a foodie then let me know any cool recipes that you may be aware of.

That argument definitely lacks credibility (and logic!). I was working without the latter half of it.

It is somewhat like saying, “I hope the rich childless couple over there adopts me as their child, because me being born to my parents is only an accident of birth..”

@sri,
I’m not sure if you’re referring to anyone in particular, but I completely agree with you. I get very annoyed when people who have left India for good start preaching us the “right behaviour” as if they are sitting on a higher pedestal.

But I will add this: In the spirit of argumentation, the credibility (or the lack of it thereof) of the person making the argument should not by itself be a reason to reject an argument. Of course, we can always use the lack of credibility as an excuse to chose not to argue with the person

Thank you for the advice. It was really not my intention to pick on this website in particular.

But since the screenshot I presented here does corroborate what I say in the rest of the post, I’m going to take it off. Thank you again.

Hmm.. all I can say is that be careful not to get into mob dynamics and pass hasty judgements..

Guess you are aware that this particular post is vulnerable against a defamation lawsuit. Prima facie, you’re defaming a particular website and accusing them of sloppiness, when there is no such sloppiness in the very evidence that you provide!

Citing some mob earlier who’d descended on them earlier does not absolve you of the defamation content present in this post..

Just a word of caution..

It seems I wasn’t quick enough in taking the screenshot. There were a lot of those mistakes when they announced the venture on Hacker News. Almost every commenter there pointed them out and that seems to have forced the website maintainers to actually fix the mistakes!

Nevertheless, these mistakes are dime a dozen across a good lot of the websites of Indian startups. I would rather not point them out.
