Dear Deepak,
Govt tax are always paid on full value as govt does not allow any discount.
Tax has to be paid on fill value and cafe is right in charging tax on full value.
Hope your query is resolved
Kindly like if my response has helped you

Dear Deepak,
As per my understanding govt always takes tax on gross value and not on net value
