Review for Bercos Garden Restaurant in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India a review for Bercos Garden
Extremely rude staff. We walked in at 10.30 and were asked to sit outside the kitchen door so that they could serve us. God forbid if you walk in at 10.45, you might be asked to eat in the kitchen. Very rude staff!

Review for RPM a review for RPM
Too small for gatherings, can not dance if you do not have females with you..doesn't matter even if there are hardly any females around in the disc :-) Not recommended for team parties/gatherings at all, when there are better options available at Noida, Sector-18. I can not even think for going to RPM, Noida again..
