Diva in trouble for paying below minimum wage?!

Just saw this and I cannot believe they were trying to get away with paying their employees less than $5 an hour!

Will be going to Namaskar from now on...food is better there anyways.

Disappointed but not surprised--wage and hour violations are endemic to the restaurant business.

I've heard bad things about them for years but nothing confirmed. Namaskar it is for sure.

It's still allegation. Nothing has been released or confirmed by either party. While it wouldn't surprise me, it also wouldn't surprise me to find that it's happening in many restaurants in the square.

I'll reserve my judgement until the investigation is over.

I've always thought their service was pretty bad. Now I know why - you get what you pay for!

Not surprised

I cannot say I am surprised, the food and service at Diva are subpar.

Darnit; I was really hoping to go to Dosa Factory in Central in a few months but since they're all owned by the same company, the workers there may be getting screwed over, too--is it better to go, or better not to?
