This is my personal experience below:

Unfortunately my experience was VERY different from the ones posted.
I tried a Shirodhara treatment and an Eye Bath, which I practice myself regularly but it is a bit more complicated to do for yourself. The treatments I received here from the owner, Sachin Chauhan were NOT authentic Indian Ayurvedic treatments, and when I mentioned it, he agreed that he practices a commercial method, not authentic! I have been following a holistic lifestyle including Ayurvedic practices over a decade. I went to India several times, I took different Ayurvedic courses in Kerala, South India which is the birthplace of Ayurveda, living in an Ayurvedic Institute. I have also taken dozens of Ayurvedic treatments in India.
I have been having a frozen shoulder for over a year, I was able to completely heal the pain in a few weeks and only a bit of tension remained in my shoulder.
I asked whether he would able to treat my shoulder. He said that he could help and suggested an Abhyanga massage. (I have not previously taken a full body massage/treatment here due to the fact that they don't have female practitioners, to avoid unpleasant situations. In India I have always been treated by female practitioners, which is the general case and I believe it should be done here as well.)
Unfortunately this Abhyanga massage was physically uncomfortable to me and he became fixated with my sex chakra as he unprofessionally called it, which is called sacral chakra, not sex chakra. I also had the feeling several times that I was touched in a to me NOT comfortable way.
Unfortunately after this Abhyanga treatment I became very very very ill physically and emotionally. This was the most horrible treatment I ever had in my entire life. I never got sick after a treatment before. The shoulder that was supposed to be treated was made worse and I was made so sick that I needed more than one week to recover from this horrible treatment. Thank god that I know many holistic practices.
After this under the guise of wanting to help me he started to message me. I asked if he could give me some practical advice. Unfortunately he was NOT able to give me ONE practical advice and then he was asking practical advices from me! What did he want then?!
I am not an Ayurvedic doctor/practitioner, but I know many many Ayurvedic and other holistic practical exercises. How can an Ayurvedic practitioner not know one damn practical advice?! Well, to me that is only possible in the case when the practitioner is a CON. Where did he learn Ayurveda?!
Once in India I signed up for an Ashtanga yoga course. Before the course I talked to the 'teacher' and turned out she NEVER practiced Ashtanga yoga in her life, but her friends did. This is the kind of CONS you can find in India… People practicing Ayurveda, causing HARM and NOT knowing one practical Ayurveda advice. Absolutely unacceptable, and ridiculous.

Then he started to invite me for tea or dinner. When I told him that I didn't have time he disrespectfully said he hopes that I have better things to do. I didn't bother to respond.
Then he invited me for dinner which I declined. On the 14th February evening I received several messages from him and calls, which I have not responded.
Next day I responded that I could have a tea in the afternoon thinking that he wanted to help or give useful advise. He invited me over to his apartment (during the time he was supposed to be in the center). Strangely he offered me a cheap supermarket filter tea. No Ayurvedic herbal tea. He wanted to sit me in the sofa but I choose to sit on a chair further away. He had extremely low and very repellent energy. He was trying to touch me several times and wanted me to get close to him. I found it extremely uncomfortable and pulled away from him.
(I am not an Ayurvedic practitioner, but I have dozens of regular and Ayurvedic herbs at home which I use daily to make tea for myself and visitors. When people visit me I offer them herbal tea and I always give useful practical advices for FREE! I gave advices even in this very Ayurvedic center and I sent a book to the receptionist for FREE! Which she could not buy in the bookstore. She did not even bother to send a thank you reply.)
We talked about the covid etc. During this time he was called various times from the center.
I could hear that they needed help as someone had some reactions in the head. He said he will go, but he did not bother. Do you understand what this means?!
He talked about what he was doing in his free time, watching horror movies.
I was quite shocked when I heard this, and I told him that it is very very harmful to watch horror movies, which is even scientifically proven. This person obviously has no knowledge of Ayurveda and certainly does not practice the Ayurvedic lifestyle. Watching horror movies is like taking mental, emotional and spiritual heroin. Absorbing horror, fear, violence, killings and other extremely harmful energies and then passing it onto the people during treatments?! Do we understand how harmful and dangerous this is?!
I certainly don't want to be treated by someone with HORROR energies nor I wouldn't want to be associated with such people in any way.
Talking about therapies it turned out he didn't protect himself during treatments, which is very very harmful and dangerous too as the practitioner can pass on harmful energies to other patients, and certainly this is what happened to me during the very very horrible treatment.

Following that he was sending me WhatsApp messages after 10 pm. Doesn't know Ayurveda?! Doesn't know what is good manners and respect? In Ayurvedic lifestyle 9-10 pm latest is bedtime! And you don't send harassing messages to a female patient after 10pm. That is unacceptable, unprofessional, unethical and UN Ayurveda. Clearly this lonely guy is looking for sex or a woman, but this is not the right way to do it.

Unfortunately after the horror treatment my shoulder not only not improved but it has become worse. I have had hundreds of treatments all over the world, many in India, and I always get a massage or some treatment every month.
After recovering from this horror treatment I went back to the person who I go to monthly for massage. Never in years that person harassed me, never sent me inappropriate, disrespectful messages, never touched me inappropriately, never said anything inappropriate and yes we exchanged many practical advices.

Every time I went to the this fake Ayurveda center I greeted them as they do in India, saying Namaste with the praying hand, this however was not returned! The practitioner also did NOT return the Namaste. It is very disrespectful. This is a FAKE Ayurveda center! These are FAKE!

HARASSING, DISRESPECTING, HARMING a patient is UNprofessional, UNethical and UN Ayurveda. And you are asking this much money, OVERcharging for harming people for harmful and FAKE Ayurveda treatments?
I don't mind paying for treatments, but I do mind to pay for fake, overcharged HARMFUL treatments that make me sick!

I would not recommend anyone to visit this place, and I suggest women should get treatments, especially body treatments exclusively from female practitioners to avoid such experiences.

It is very sad that fakes like this ruin the reputation of the holistic industry which is already under attack.

I cannot add the receipt because I did not receive one (which is actually illegal not to give receipt).

The guy deleted my review on Facebook, clearly his reviews on Facebook are FAKE. If I knew the truth I would have NEVER gone to this place. SHAMEFUL

UPDATE 25 feb. This shamful guy today tried to call me on my private number which I have not responded. Then he started to send me emails to my private email from his private email. I have NEVER given my email to him personally, I contacted the center in a professional manner as I believed them to be authentic from the fake reviews. It turns out he wants me to delete my true review based on my personal experience. AND he started to BLACKMAIL me to write FAKE reviews about my FREE book which I wrote to help people, which he never read, Writing fake review is against the law and in such case I will go to the authorities and the police.

I posted my experience in the local Indians in Hungary and Budapest Facebook groups.
Several people sent me messages after seeing my post.
Someone who previously worked with this guy says that he has been harassing women for a long time and that happened several times.
Another person came forward and says that he is not an Ayurvedic doctor, does not know human anatomy and the people in the center are not trained in Ayurveda.
