Delhi’s Tubata Restaurant Reverses Indian Attire Ban, Welcomes All Traditional Dress

Days after a video showed a couple barred for wearing Indian dress, the Pitampura eatery rescinded its dress code to welcome all traditional attire.

Overview

  • The restaurant put up a notice stating “All types of Indian attire is allowed,” explicitly naming sarees, salwar-kameez and other traditional outfits.
  • Owner Neeraj Aggarwal denied any dress code existed, blamed the August 3 denial on a lack of reservation and issued a public apology.
  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Culture Minister Kapil Mishra directed officials to investigate the alleged ban on Indian clothing.
  • Tubata announced Raksha Bandhan discounts for women who visit wearing traditional Indian dress.
  • The Delhi government’s probe into whether the restaurant’s previous policy amounted to cultural discrimination is ongoing.
