Apalling Service
My wife went to Bharat with our three kids, who really like some of the Indian sweets. The lady behind the counter ignored her and served other customers first, though my wife was ahead in line. She did this until a customer actually said "No, I think these people were first." Then when my wife wanted to order sweets the lady said "No, hot food orders first" and turned away from her without a word. Unbelievably rude. Never going back. by

customer service
I always go to B.I for my grocery shopping.I went today to get rice.The price list pasted on the showed wrong prices.I complaint to Punam and she was courteous and humble and explained patiently whereas the gentleman came and was very rude.He never smiles and doesnt know how to deal cheerfully with customers.He should clean up his act and learn a few tips from Punam. by

Check your manners
Bharat International is one of the best grocery/spice store which I have come across in Australia. I am a non-judgmental person but I would like to suggest a few things for their betterment. The gentleman who stands on the cash register is fairly rude to customers. He asks western union customers to wait so that he can serve the other customers who are lined up . All the customers are equally important so he should serve on the basis of "first come first". If the customer doesnt find the item he is looking for and requests the gentleman on the cash register to help him then there is only one favourite sentence the boss says and that is ...."i have ordered my supplier but even my supplier is running short of these items". The man on the cash register is always munching something while serving the customers and at times eats his lunch on the counter. He is 95% of the times on phone and tells his customers that he is putting his orders to the suppliers. He has absolutely no sense how to dress up and is always in a rotten mood either with his staff or customers and treats the young beautiful and charming girl obnoxiously. This man should clean up his act, change his attitude/his way of thinking and get his feet on the ground. by

Magnificent Choice
Punam has a wonderful variety of choice of clothes. She has great sense of combination of colours. Infact her wide range of perfume collection is absolutely mesmerising..... by

Excellent sense of clothing
Punam has excellent sense of clothing.Her matching earings and watch go with her splendid taste. Her choice of perfumes go extremely well with her persona. At times I go to the shop not to buy stuff but to look at what she would be wearing and her colour combinations.One of these days, I want to ask her to go shopping with me to choose my clothes but I feel shy asking her.............. by

THE BEST SHOP IN AUSTRALIA
I have travelled extensively in Australia for the job I do. But when I go to Bharat International, I feel completely at home.They have the best quality groceries and spices and fresh sweets and ala-carte menu. The beauty of their food is that they keep changing their menu and seem to entice with new and popular "yum" dishes.The charming , young owner , Punam , is always ready to help with sale deals and her enchanting smile goes well with her polished manners. She is very polite and elegant and seems to charm all her customers. Infact I spoke to one of her staff members, and he commented that she is humble with staff as well. We , the community, of canberra wish her well and success. by

We agree that we are missing Punam's presence
We agree that we are missing Punam's presence in the shop.....but we would like to tell the other man on the counter to speak nicely to punam because we have seen and heard him shouting at Punam a few times. He is the same guy who wants his western union customers to wait for a long time........ by

Punam is multitalented ,young and beautiful
Everything is great about Bharat International when Punam is around. Apparently I bought both her published poetry books. They are excellent......the topics are great and the choice of her words are fantastic. I bet you guys did not know about her this hidden talent because she is a very humble young business girl. by

Punam is very good at multitasking..........
The young and beautiful girl always ready with a soft smile,sparkling eyes,gentle voice.She has all three ingredients to have a successful business and satisfied customers. The best quality, reasonable prices and efficient customer service. Even when she is alone on the cash register and taking orders, she juggles very well between the two cash registers and the sweets corner. She dresses well with excellent choice of perfume!!!!She never ignores any customer and is ready to help in every possible way.She has a wise head with her feet on ground.She is always ready with new surprises on the menu and the food is yummmmmm when she is in the kitchen.......and not to miss the fact that she is very polite with her staff.Though she is a small person with great personality and carries "Bharat International" very well and smoothly on her shoulders.We are really proud of you girl.......

great shop
The best thing which has happened to this shop is the girl who owns it. Punam is very well dressed with always a smile on her face. Under her management , the store has introduced heaps of new products and new recipees which are really delicious. She deals with customers sincerely with a gentle approach.She communicates with her staff nicely as we see it in the shop. Some males who work there shout on their staff and try to teach the customers whereas Punam is always ready to help genuinely. She carries herself beautifully with great personality. The store is doing well because the way this girl works with the staff and doesnt boss around around. Keep up the good work Punam.... by
