Two disabled friends were refused a table in an Indian restaurant when the owner decided that they 'looked too sick to eat'.
Rhys Bowler and Skye Jordan were rejected after they were reportedly told that other dinners made themselves uncomfortable.
The owner of the Rahil Tandoori in Barry, Zuid -Wales, has admitted that we refuse to serve the couple because 'their condition was so bad' but has since apologized.
Rhys, 36, said: 'He is not a doctor, who is he to decide whether I am good enough to have an Indian meal, something I really enjoy?
“It was very embarrassing, especially when he tried to blame the other customers.”
Rhys and Skye say that the owner made the excuse that he had not been trained medically and offered them a collection meal instead.
Diners on the only two occupied tables denied that they had complained and walked away from disgust.
Rhys, who has the genetic disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy, relies on a motorized wheelchair with an oxygen tank.

But he lives a complete and active life, has a diploma in computer animation and has recently traveled to Florida and Las Vegas.
He and Skye, who has fibromyalgia, used to be in a heavy metal band and regularly met for a drink and a snack to eat.
They were with Rhys' caretaker and Skye's ex-husband Gareth when they visited the Rahil restaurant, just five minutes from Skye's house in Barry.
Rhys, Van Teforest, Pontypriddd, said: 'We had booked a table and watched a meal – I love spicy food. But as soon as we went inside, I felt that there was a problem.
“They asked my caregiver to go outside and after a minute or two she came back and said we were asked to leave.
“Skye was absolutely furious – she ate there with her father before she was disabled.”
Mother-of-one Skye, who has had fibromyalgia for 15 years, asked other dinners if they had complained and were told 'absolutely not'.
Skye, who runs a market stall that sells novelty gifts and T-shirts, said: “They were disgusting and another plot left and followed us to the pub where they bought our drinks.”

She continued: 'I am so angry with the way we were treated. The manager said he was not medically trained, it was very unpleasant.
“We didn't go there to be treated medically, we went there to eat.
“I wish I had now recorded his range of a collection meal, I would have put it in his face.”
Rhys, which saves for a one -time trip to Australia, hits the restaurant back on social media.
He said: “I am not like me to rage here, but tonight I and my friend Skye Jordan got the service in an Indian restaurant and kicked out practically because I was too sick to eat there” and that I felt the other guests 'uncomfortable'.
Restaurant owner Mohammed Nazrul everywhere, 53, says that after 18 years the Shaming campaign of the couple could put the Curry House in Holton Road, Barry, bankrupt after 18 years.
He said to MailOnline: 'We served so many disabled people at the time, but their condition was so bad.
'We were worried about their state of health and if they had allergies.
'They are special people, but we have no special facilities for them.
'We have no disabled toilet or disabled access.
“He had a mask and a large gas cylinder at the back of his wheelchair – we were scared.
“But we don't discriminate against people with disabilities.
“I apologized to them, I'm sorry, but to be honest, they complain so much, I might have to close the company.”
Mr. Everyone claimed that he was so upset by the incident that it caused a heart event and was called an ambulance to his restaurant.
He said that the case was now in the hands of his lawyers and he issued the next statement.
'I confirm that the people in question attended my restaurant on January 14, 2025.

Skye said: “We didn't go there to be treated medically, we went there to eat”
'I had never seen them before and I was immediately concerned that the two wheelchair users were too sick to attend a restaurant.
'One was on a fan and the other was also extremely disabled.
'I was immediately concerned about their well -being, because I am not a medically qualified person and if something had happened, I would not have been able to help.
'Consequently, I asked if they would leave. English is not my first language and there may have been some confusion because other dinners had not complained.
'I do not discriminate against the disabled dinners and we welcome them to our restaurant.
'In my opinion when I saw the two disabled people, I felt that they were too sick to eat and I was worried that if something had happened, I could not have been to deal with.
“This was my subjective opinion. I could add that when leaving the party in question, my company threatened to discredit as much as possible and use social media to do this. This made me up enormously. '
