Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has ordered an immediate investigation, calling any form of attire based discrimination unacceptable. Tourism and culture minister Kapil Mishra also termed the incident intolerable and directed officials to ensure the restaurant is held accountable.
In response to the backlash, Neeraj Agarwal, the restaurant’s owner, issued a public apology. He stated that no dress code policy exists and attributed the misunderstanding to overcrowding during a peak reservation period. The restaurant has now posted a notice welcoming guests in Indian attire and announced special discounts for women in traditional outfits during Raksha Bandhan.
The episode has ignited a wider debate on the respect for cultural clothing and the rights of establishments to set dress codes. While many have slammed the restaurant for cultural insensitivity, others have defended the autonomy of venues, underscoring the fine balance between personal expression and business discretion.
