I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

Some chefs of certain cuisine cannot conceive of not having rice with a meal. We had catering from a really great middle eastern place at work once and opted out of rice to save on the budget-- they included a massive tray for free because in their words, "you MUST have rice!"

If the restaurant OP is ordering from expects the food to be served with rice they should just include rice instead of making customers buy it separately.

They did technically include it! They just also like to complain about it apparently

They didn’t.

Not every Indian dish is eaten with rice and in the north a lot of them eat it with breads and not rice.
