    The food at lingela was delicious and the it was worth the price. The only thing I was unhappy about was the service, the waiter that was “assisting” in our table did not introduce herself or inform us that she will be helping us for the night which made us feel unwelcome as she continuously tended to other people and their requests. I only found out she was responsible for our table when I went to pay at the front desk.

    i booked for 30 ppl. 28 attended. when i was making payment i was surrounded by a host of staff including securuity. i felt so much animosity from the staff during this time as i paid cash. and felt as if they thought i was going to run away. the waiters also we had to look for them to order tea.
