Delhi Restaurant Under Fire After Allegedly Denying Entry To Woman In Indian Attire, Owner Responds
A viral video circulating on social media has sparked debate around the dress codes enforced by certain restaurants and clubs. The video was reportedly shot outside Tubata, a restaurant located in Saraswati Vihar, Pitampura, Delhi. In the clip, a middle-aged couple is seen standing outside the restaurant, claiming they were denied entry. The reason, according to them: the woman was wearing a suit, and her Indian attire was allegedly against the restaurant's dress code. Watch the video here: See what is happening in Delhi restaurant Tubata in Pitampura. A couple was denied entry and not allowed to enter just because they were wearing Indian attire! — Rosy (@rose_k01) August 8, 2025 Kapil Mishra, Cabinet Minister in the Delhi government, shared the video on his official X handle and wrote, "This is unacceptable in Delhi. A video has surfaced showing a ban on Indian attire at a restaurant in Pitampura. This is unacceptable. CM @gupta\_rekha ji has taken serious note of the incident. Officials have been directed to investigate the incident and take immediate action." This is unacceptable in Delhi पीतमपुरा के एक रेस्टोरेंट में भारतीय परिधानों पर रोक का वीडियो सामने आया है ये अस्वीकार्य है CM @gupta_rekha जी ने घटना का गंभीरता से संज्ञान लिया है अधिकारियों को इस घटना की जांच व तुरंत कार्यवाही के निर्देश दिए गए हैं — Kapil Mishra (@KapilMishra_IND) August 8, 2025 In a follow-up tweet, Kapil Mishra posted videos of the restaurant owner Neeraj Aggarwal and manager Narender Singh, in which they issued clarification that their restaurant does not restrict entry based on dress code. Neeraj Aggarwal said, "All guests in all dress codes are welcome to our outlet. I invite people, whether from North India or South India, to our family restaurant and enjoy." The restaurant manager added that on Raksha Bandhan, they will also offer a 10 per cent discount and a complimentary dessert to women at their restaurant, irrespective of attire. Update : पीतमपुरा के इस रेस्टोरेंट के संचालकों ने स्वीकार कर लिया है कि परिधान आधारित कोई प्रतिबंध अब नहीं लगाएंगे व भारतीय परिधानों में आने वाले नागरिकों का स्वागत करेंगे रक्षाबंधन पर भारतीय परिधानों में आने वाली बहनों को कुछ डिस्काउंट भी देंगे 🙂 @gupta_rekha — Kapil Mishra (@KapilMishra_IND) August 8, 2025 The initial viral video has triggered outrage online, with many questioning why Indian clothing would be disallowed at a restaurant in India. One user commented, "Their dress code is like - no entry if you look like you actually belong to the country." Another wrote, "Please give one 1-star rating on Google Maps and see how they bend." A third added, "Some of our people are still colonised mentally." However, some users argued that the restaurant is within its rights to set its own rules. "We need to stop making an issue out of everything and grow up. That's a private restaurant, and they have every right to decide who enters and wears what. It's not public property that everyone can claim rights to. It does not mean they are disrespecting the attire," one user said. Another wrote, "What is the issue in this? Every restaurant has a dress code. Creating an issue of nothing. There are thousands more restaurants to visit." A third user added, "So? In Australia, some restaurants deny you entry if you are not dressed in formal attire. Even smart casuals are not allowed. And they do it regardless of ethnicity. It is the right of the restaurant to deny based on the dress code they have set."

Video: Delhi Restaurant Denies Entry To Couple For Indian Attire, Chief Minister Takes Note
A couple was allegedly denied entry into a Delhi restaurant for wearing Indian attire, with the video of the incident circulating on social media. In the now-viral video, the couple can be seen narrating their ordeal after being denied entry to the restaurant located in Delhi's Pitampura area. While others were allowed entry, the couple alleged that the manager of the restaurant misbehaved with them. The person recording the clip stated that the restaurant, which was not allowing people with Indian attire, had no right to function, adding that it should be shut down immediately. As the clip went viral, Delhi cabinet minister Kapil Mishra took cognisance of the issue, stating that Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had been apprised of the matter. "This is unacceptable in Delhi. A video has surfaced showing a ban on Indian attire at a restaurant in Pitampura. This is unacceptable. CM @gupta_rekhaji has taken serious note of the incident. Officials have been directed to investigate the incident and take immediate action," Mr Mishra wrote.

"The operators of this Pitampura restaurant have accepted that they will no longer impose any restrictions based on attire and will welcome citizens coming in Indian attire. On Rakshabandhan, they will also offer some discounts to sisters coming in Indian attire," said Mr Mishra.

He said the restaurant has no attire policy, adding that all customers are welcome. The incident fuelled a debate on social media, with a section of social media users seeking action against the restaurant despite the CM's intervention. "Shut the restaurant down. And if it has any branches elsewhere, shut those down too. This very mentality has tormented us for years," said one user while another added: "A minister and CM had to be invovled for entry into a restaurant. What else the common man can hope for."
