tl;dr - avoid this place if you want to be treated with any level of dignity or respect, and "Joe" should be fired for being one of the worst humans I have ever met in my life. Even the chef "May" came out and apologized for his horrendous behavior, but he still prevailed, which was honestly quite wild.

Detailed review:

Tonight was honestly one of the worst experiences my wife and I have ever had a restaurant in our entire lives. "Joe" who refused to even tell us his name because he knows how badly he behaved, was honestly just a bad human being.

Arrive at the restaurant at 7 PM - place order at 7:05 PM. I have allergies to onion and garlic so we were told it would "take a little time". My wife had no allergies and we asked for the food to be given as ready.

8 PM - they haven't even served us our order of tea or appetizers. We ask what is happening and "Joe" says he cannot give us an ETA for the food. We say we will leave but he says no, wait for a couple of minutes and the food will come. A table of white people who came in around 730 PM were served promptly before us. "Joe" was probably being racist on reflection, but it didn't strike us as such at that time.

810 PM - the appetizers come out and "Joe" says he has cancelled our main courses because he doesn't want to "put pressure on his kitchen". We insist that they still make our food and he says fine they will do it (very begrudgingly). Joe tells us "there are so many restaurants around - you don't come here"

845 PM - we ask what the status is and "Joe" says he cancelled the order and never reinstated it because he didn't want to serve us. We tell him this was totally unacceptable and the chef comes out and offers to make food for us. However "Joe" waves her off and tells her expressly to tend to the other patrons and asks us to leave. We leave but the chef follows us out and promises to cook for us. I then follow her back inside and "Joe" threatens to call the cops on me (I am dark skinned with long, curly hair) and says I should leave and I am not allowed to talk to the chef.

It was a real pity because the food here is generally excellent.
