We thought it was a reasonable request to ask for the food to be cooked a little longer but the serving staff, including the manager, refused on the basis of their "policy" and tried to gaslight us that the food was intended to be raw - until we pointed out that we ordered a "sizzling" plate! After declining several times to reheat the dishes, they agreed to reheat it - it looked like it had been in the microwave and the food was still not cooked properly. At this point we were too annoyed to even complain any further.
