A UK restaurant owner turned up the heat on one TripAdvisor user after they left a below-average review for Waz’s Bistrot.
According to the reviewer, who goes by the username BLONDIE4214, everything from the food right down to the restrooms left the reviewer unimpressed.
“Visited here last night on the recommendation of a friend. To be honest, I wasn’t keen. I have read all the five-star reviews, but I found the food disappointing,” wrote BLONDIE4214.
“The tagine was very watery and full of dried apricots and sticks of what I think was rosemary. Didn’t really like the graffiti on the walls, reminded me of a public toilet!!!!” the unsatisfied customer concluded.
The critique caused restaurant owner Mohamed Wassim Draoui to simmer with anger and fire back, adding that their statement said a lot more about the reviewer than it did about the restaurant.
“Bonjour Madame Blondie,” the retort began. “Your choice of comparison regarding our wallpaper said it all about your level.”
“We can’t please everyone, not entering a discussion with a non-connaisseur about a traditional tagine made by a North African chef, Merci beaucoup for your feedback,” the restaurant boss’s reply declared.
According to travel website, Waz’s Bistrot in Bromsgrove, England has more than 430 reviews — 413 of which gave the eatery 5-stars.
“Fab food fab drink fab service, Fabb! Will definitely go again. taking the whole family next time. Delicious! Waz’s was a hit,” one diner wrote.
“Cuisine is presented to Michelin Star standards. Flavors explode on your pallet. Personal service by the owner who is head chef,” said another.
The restaurant has reportedly been shut down for several months in preparation for a grand reopening at a new venue on December 10, according to their website.
The Post has reached out to Draoui for comment.
