Birmingham<\/a>.<\/p>\n“We ordered dosas, chicken 65, biryani and chicken fried rice etc. All 10\/10.”<\/p>\n
And one visitor posted: “Delicious authentic food. Lovely service.”<\/p>\n
However, a recent reviewer did not share a positive experience and left their thoughts on Google.<\/p>\n
Although the customer praised a number of dishes, the diner was unhappy with Vaibhavam’s cash-only policy.<\/p>\n
The customer said: “They take cash only.<\/p>\n
“Clean and decent place with fast service.<\/p>\n
“Podi dosa and maysore masala dosa were five stars.<\/p>\n
“Gobi 65, bland and tasteless. I wish I could give zero stars. There was neither salt nor spice.<\/p>\n
“They take cash only, it’s 2025. Highly suspicious If someone is taking cash only in 2025.”<\/p>\n
The restaurant owner responded: “Cash is considered as a legal tender.<\/p>\n
“Businesses are generally allowed to choose whichever payment methods we want.<\/p>\n
“We mentioned clearly it’s our cash only policy on the door and on Google.<\/p>\n
“If you got issues with it, don’t bother to come and make a bad review.<\/p>\n
“If you have any taste issue for your gobi 65 you could have informed us either, we would have changed or refunded your money.<\/p>\n
“We consider if some customers want it spicy to alter to their palate.<\/p>\n
“Henceforth kindly judge on the matter of issue and not to something else.<\/p>\n
“We sold so much Gobi 65 today and we didn’t have any complaints for the whole evening.<\/p>\n
“Kindly bring your bill and we will refund your starter amount. Thank you for your custom.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The diner panned the restaurant over their cash-only policyVaibhavam restaurant told a customer ‘don’t bother to come’ after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,10314,748,393,4884,17757,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-118488","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-birmingham-restaurants","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-harborne","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114543168384646139","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
