When a dinner complaint got out of hand Jamil Hossain clearly remembers what he ordered for his five friends at the Red Chilli restaurant in Lakemba after celebrating Bangladesh's Independence Day on March 31. "Eight naan, two roti, a vegetable dish, a lamb and chicken curry and a beef vindaloo," he said. It was to be a sumptuous meal after a day celebrating his country of birth's struggle for nationhood, when it seceded from Pakistan in 1971.

"The skewer went right through, it had to be operated on and I still have it wrapped in bandages," he said. Mr Hossain spent the night at Sydney Hospital , which specialises in hand and eye injuries. "I was scared and very frightened," he said. On Wednesday, Campsie police arrested the owner-chef of Red Chilli, Rehana Mati, who will face Burwood Local court on May 2 on a charge of reckless wounding. Pakistani-born Mr Mati, 43, declined to comment when contacted by Fairfax Media. Mr Hossain, who won a Canterbury Council Citizen of the Year Award in 2010 for his community work in local cricket, said he will never eat at Red Chilli again. It was the first and will be the last time I go there. It was a terrible end to a truly wonderful day," he said. Mr Hossain said after celebrations at Wiley Park, their group arrived at the restaurant at 9.30pm but had to wait half an hour to be served, then almost another hour for their food. Mr Hossain said the dispute arose after they asked how much longer their food would take to be served. It was unbelievable. There were only two other customers. We politely asked the waitress where our food was. Mr Hossain says his group weren't drinking as "we are Muslims."
