Hawaiian Shack - Bandra Restaurant is a ripoff pirates on a boat.....My friends insisted that its THE PLACE TO HANG OUT, The "Cool" place to be in....so couldn't resist to check it out..


Well, at the gate itself there were four or five Bouncers cum cover chargers, cum face controllers, cum racial discriminators. There is lot of discrimination and face control in Hawaiian Shack Restaurant... Some dudes were let in even when they were in groups, while some dudes who wanted to check the place out but were not upto their face mark were not allowed, saying stags and groups are not welcome on weekends and there is also some party going on...


We were waiting for our friends to come and I saw one couple being charged 1000 each while other being charged 400 clearly based upon looks and dress.


Some group couples got the shock of their party life when they were asked to shell out 8000 bucks while it clearly should have being 4000, 1000 for each couple but they charged 1000 for each one of them cos they were not upto there mark in face and dress.... They left grinding. Then comes the masters of the universe.... a blond and white dude and viola... The bouncers and the managers face lit up... they literally stood up... shake hands (they never did that with any Indians) and one bouncer went with them inside what looked like being a guard :o)


I had lost interest seeing discrimination happening in India.. I had seen enough abroad... but my friend were over the moon seeing the babes go in and wanted to get in at any cost. Yes if you are single girl, its still 400, but be ready to be asked 100,000 times by single guys inside,


Well, finally my friends arrived and in the waiting time... I saw outright discrimination based on looks, dress and ..yes..if you wear glasses, 90% of the time you will be charged 1000 even if you are with your GF and if you go alone with glasses... be ready to be knocked out by excuses from bouncers.


Well...Inside the Hawaiian Shack Restaurant... What can I say....Its a veranda shorter than my house with a boat at the end...with couple of snooty s serving you the drinks and to give a Hawaiian look....recruited east Indian babes..who are by the way the only positive thing as they are polite and attentive to the orders. It just gets crammed over and over as the time goes by, and the music ..God..when will they stop last Christmas and hotel California as if to show their theme is old 80's music...which of course is but to what end..they should keep that thing playing again and again and again..


All drinks are overly priced...hell..you wont even find that in states or even in Hawaii for that matter. 250 bucks for a shot of Bacardi...250 whiskey.....250 to 300 for half cooked chicken pops..by the time..you had your third drink...your 1000 coupon is over and the snooty will ask for your credit card. If this place would have being in Hawaii or Thailand or Moscow... it would have being closed long time ago.. What I found disgusting was discrimination between Indians based on looks. We were let in, but I lost interest, seeing other being shooed away .


I have heard about blacks being turned away in HW long time back with excuses that they were selling drugs inside but that trick wont work with Indians..so they come up with all sort of silly excuses to keep guys away, who they think are unfit in looks.


Guys, If you want to witness outright discrimination and have any doubts about what I said... just go to Hawaiian Shack - Bandra being a Saturday and wait for just 15 minutes near the gate to get disgusted. I wish, we as an INTERNET community strongly protest , the discrimination shown by HW, so that they could come to their senses. Please do not go to such places.
