    IMO for choosing such an alarming name given todays social structure they deserve whatever headaches they get. Perhaps they should have thought less about such a attention grabbing name and more about the quality/quanity of food they serve to insure the influx of customers and their return/reviews.

    I think the name was chosen in very poor taste but thats my opinion.
    Fortitude.....The strength to persist...The courage to endure.

      More than poor taste, it appears that the chap is a small time businessman, who is a high school dropout.

      High on business acumen, low in knowledge.

      There are many like him in India.

      They drive M'rutis, Assent and Assteems (Cars of India i.e. Maruti, Accent, Esteem)!

      Illiterate sods with oodles of money!

      One such idiot once told me that Mercedes Benz was actually an Indian car (those days Mercedes Benz were not easily available for love or money!).

      He said that it was Mr Tarlochan Singh Bains who emigrated to German (for Germany) and married Ms Mercedes. They produced the car and named it Mercedes Bains!

      And the bloke actually meant it!

      He was a rich man but a total illiterate with confidence that money begets!

          I would not even support opening a Osama Pork Outlet.
          But how about a Mohamed Pork Chop?

          A restaruant named "Mohamed's Place" serving nothing but pork products. I think that's pretty cool, as long as you don't try to open this in a muslim country or France.

            Actually, I want to buy a Skoda Octavia, but who has the money!

              don't buy it... it has no re-sale value... or if you really want one... buy it second hand... a diesel will cost you around 6 Lakhs and a petrol will cost you about 4 Lakhs...

                Actually, at the local Mall, one of the chaps who looks after the frozen food department is a Moslem.

                The sausages are of pork as also of chicken.

                I knew he was a Moslem and so I started fishing into the freezer for a pork sausage packet. Seeing me trying to find a product, he asked me what I wanted and so I told him that I wanted "pork sausages".

                He calmly handed one over much to be discomfort, he being a Moslem. So, I told him that it was OK and sort of grabbed it from him to lessen his blasphemy (for the want of a better word). I like the chap. He, seeing my discomfort said that it was OK. He was only touching it, he was not eating it!

                I was left speechless and grateful from having been absolved of a guilt that because of me, he did something that was not as per his religious norms.

                Nowadays, whenever I go to the Mall, he "tauntingly" holds aloft a packet of pork sausages and tell me that it has arrived just then just for me!

                He is a real swell chap!

                Chaps like him make my day since they are beyond bigotry!

                  Ah...you've already visited the restaurant?
                  Live in Mumbai?
                  I like the smell of hookhah! :)

                    Agree with LT!

                      It would just draw comparison to Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls, and that too would have a negative impact on the franchise.

                        We need more reasonable muslims like that in the world. People who can take a joke on the chin and laugh it right off.

                          Ray, those just have a 2.0L engine - kinda small for an SUV right?

                            I have been thinking about this today and this is what I think that I think about it....

                            I think that the restaurant was in bad taste (no pun in tended) however I also think that it should be ok that he opened it. I kinda think the name, Hitler's Cross, is even a little cool sounding. No matter what, someone, somewhere is always going to be offended at something that someone else is doing or saying or thinking.
