Indian restaurant in Bahrain shut down for denying entry to veiled woman

[Akshay89]

An Indian restaurant in Islamic country Bahrain's Adliya has been closed by the authorities after it allegedly denied entry to a veiled woman, Gulf Daily News reported. The restaurant authority has put out an apology statement on social media expressing regret for the incident. The duty manager has been suspended, the authorities said. According to reports, the duty manager is an Indian.

Bahrain news outlets reported that the incident came to the fore after the video of a restaurant staff blocking a veiled woman went viral on social media platforms. Bahrain Tourism and Exhibition Authority has launched a probe and asked all tourism outlets to avoid any policy that violates the laws of the kingdom. "We reject all actions that discriminate against people, especially regarding their national identity," the authorities said, as quoted by a local media.

The restaurant management posted a statement on social media and said this incident does not represent the authorities. "Everyone is welcome to Lanterns as how it has been for more than 35 years that we have been serving all nationalities in the beautiful kingdom of Bahrain. Lanterns is a place for everyone to come enjoy with their families and feel at home. In this instance, a mistake has been made by a manager who is now being suspended as this does not represent who we are. As a goodwill gesture, we welcome all our Bahraini patrons to Lanterns on Tuesday 29th of March to have complimentary food on us," the statement posted on Instagram read.

The incident has drawn the attention of Indian social media users as it comes amid the ongoing hijab row in Karnataka. The Karnataka high court has upheld the state government's ban on hijab inside educational institutions and said hijab is not essential to Islamic practice.

So glad I work for a global MNC and my boss is American… had the displeasure of working with Indians a long time ago.

Americans no matter how much you disagree with their foriegn policy do mix work with politics ..

You cannot expect humanity from a creature that has chosen to live below human levels. Have hope. One day such Indians will evolve to the next level and become Neanderthal. That is when you can expect they'd be sensitive towards other upright life-forms and treat humans and women with dignity and respect.

350,000 Indian nationals in Bahrain, making them the largest expatriate group in the country.

The three largest immigrant groups were from: India, with 318,500 migrants (Bahrain has the 5th highest number of Indian women migrant domestic workers of any country in the world); Bangladesh, with 82,500 migrants; and Egypt, with 85,100 migrants

Despite the workforce nationalization policy established in recent years in Bahrain, its economy is still mainly relying on foreign workforce.

Some places have dress codes (not that I believe they should exist), and will bar people accordingly. I am someone who wears Kurta most of the time and have been denied entry multiple times in certain high street clubs in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. Not that I was dying to enter these places, but from outside one cannot make out that they have a dress code. I myself avoid such places. If anything, on every occasion I was denied politely and the staff apologized saying it is policy and not in their control. I just tell them to grow up and walk away, but don't take it personally.

But then one has to take local sensibilities into account. You are in a Muslim majority country, an outsider being allowed to run an establishment, the last thing you should have on your mind is a dress code that may bar local people themselves. Highly insensitive. I checked some photos of this place on Google and it seems it is frequented by gora expats, and the management wants to keep them away from conservatively dressed locals. Very arrogant attitude I must say.

These idiots are hilarious trying their sanghi BS in Gulf countries, which by the way have loads of them living there.
Good, it's waking up the Gulf populations very fast to their views.
