Chaba is not the place to go if you want a relaxing atmosphere, good food and friendly service. I’ve given this restaurant three tries. Well it’s three strikes and they’re out. The first two times the food was ok, the service rather dismal, the atmosphere rather strange as women who worked at the restaurant hung all over male patrons in the bar. This last time my husband and i were celebrating our anniversary and wanted an upscale restaurant and Thai food. It was a few seconds after we walked in when the hostess finally looked up from the catalogue she was perusing and showed us to a table. The place was packed with screaming children, there was some problem with the lighting, it was flickering throughout the restaurant. This should have been a sign! We waited over ten minutes before the waitress, who had walked by our table numerous times without even acknowledging us, moodily approaced our table and without a greeting asked us what we wanted to drink. We ordered our drinks and we also ordered a coconut shrimp appetizer. The drinks and the appetizer arrived at the same time. I love shrimp. I love coconut. This was inedible. There was a green tint to the shrimp and it was extremely bitter. It left a weird numb tingling in my mouth. My husband also thought it tasted terrible. I took one bite and that was it. We complained to the waitress and she said they’d served a lot of coconut shrimp that night and had had no complaints. That was, it no apology, nothing. We said we wanted our bill and would not be eating there. She come back after another ten minutes and without a word handed us our bill, charging us for the offending hors d’ourves! No apologies were made and the food was never removed from our table. Maybe that’s why there was no wait at 7:30 on a Saturday Night!
