| About: | Chaat, the Hindi word for snacks, are the stock-in-trade of this bright blue warehouse on Berkeley's industrial West Side. Every day, two dozen varieties of chaat are chalked up on the whiteboard, tasty little morsels ranging from Vadu and Chole to Pakoras and Samosas. The eatery has been discovered, big time, but the counter service is fast enough to handle the big lunchtime crowds. Insider's tip: on weekends, order the Masala Dosas, huge lentil pancakes with spiced potato fillings in a thin lentil soup. |

User Rating: 1 out of 5 starsI had heard so much about Viks, so finally went there for lunch last week. The service was terrible. The food was not as nice as some of the other restaurants that we have eaten at, but the icing on the cake was when we ordered some tea to go, we were given cups that were too hot to hold, and they would not give us another empty cup so we would not burn our hands...the staff said management does not allow 2 cups...amazing...they would rather have their clients burn their hands than give a 2 cent empty cup..

I really USED to love this place for a quick, moderately priced lunch, but they were so rude to me today that I've decided to never go back.
I tried to call in my order (I only work a block away) so that it would be ready by the time I walked over, and then the person on the phone told me my order was too small and they don't take small orders on the phone.
I then walked over to order with my dog, and after tying him up out front, an employee told me that I needed to move him somewhere else so the customers couldn't see him through the window. This is a nice golden retriever (a show dog) so he's not threatening or dirty, wasn't blocking the doorway at all... it was just a completely unneccessary request.
I have never been treated this rudely at Vik's before today, but I am so offended that I will never return and will share my bad experience with everyone I know to ensure that they don't go there as well.
Naan n' Curry is better, anyway.
