A restaurant bar in Delhi's Vasant Kunj area recently denied entry to a woman as she was wearing 'ethnic wear', which supposedly did not comply with the restaurant's dress code. The video of the woman's argument with the man who refused to let her enter the place has gone viral, and the restaurant management has invited the wrath of people over the same.

The woman shared her ordeal on Twitter along with a video that shows one of the restaurant employees informing her that 'ethnic wear' is something that the restaurant does not allow. Her post was captioned, "My shocking experience with discrimination at Kylin and Ivy, Ambience Vasant Kunj this evening. Denied entry as ethnic wear is not allowed! A restaurant in India allows 'smart casuals' but not Indian wear! Whatever happened to pride in being Indian? Take a stand!"

Several people retweeted the video and criticized the management of 'colonial hangover', while some of them tagged the Delhi police to have the license of the restaurant suspended. The owner of the resto-bar later apologized for the incident in a Facebook post that read, "The gentleman in the video is a new team member and his opinion in the video is his alone and in no way a representation of my or the teams’ view on the dress code restrictions. Nowhere in our company policy does it say that we will refuse ethnic wear." However, he took it down a while later.
