Romeo Lane – A Masterclass in How Tier-2 Restaurants Scam YouBooked a table for three on a Saturday night via Dineout, expecting a smooth evening. What followed was a textbook example of how certain restaurants bend every rule to squeeze extra money from unsuspecting guests.First red flag: Upon arrival, we were slapped with a ₹3000 cover charge — nowhere mentioned during booking. And here's the kicker — I had already paid the cover charge through Swiggy’s gateway while reserving, only to be told it wouldn’t be accepted. Apparently, they’re happy to ride the wave of these aggregator apps to get footfall, but conveniently block any discount or prepaid payment when the bill arrives.Then comes the mandatory bottled water policy. No regular water is served if you're having alcohol. It’s not a restaurant — it’s a ransom setup.Food? Utterly mediocre. But more alarming — minors were being served alcohol openly, which isn’t just unethical, it’s illegal.Romeo Lane isn't just disappointing — it's deceptive. A scam masquerading as a dining experience. Avoid this place like the plague.
