In a bizarre incident, a 76-year-old woman and her family from was shocked to see a cockroach inside Dahi Vada ordered from the popular eatery.
According to Mid-Day, Maharukh Irani, 76, and her family on Sunday, ordered food from the popular eatery Kailash Parbat in Colaba. Halfway through the meal, Irani was horrified after spotting a cockroach inside the vada she had taken a bite of. Her family later sent a written complaint to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday demanding action against the restaurant.
Irani’s son-in-law, Pervez Cooper told the leading daily, My mother-in-law took a bite of the vada and felt something hard inside it. When she looked closer, she realised it was a big cockroach. We were shocked seeing something like this from a restaurant of such repute.” After Copper brought the matter in the restaurant’s notice, they apologised and refunded the money. Irani’s daughter Shaheen told Mid-Day, “What if my mother had eaten it? She could have suffered food poisoning. The restaurant must be held responsible for this kind of behaviour.”
The restaurant has denied the family’s allegations. The member of the management, Hargun Mulchandani, told the Mid-Day, “The customer ordered food at home. Therefore, it cannot be said that what they are alleging occurred at our restaurant. The customer is trying to defame our restaurant for reasons best known to him. We take utmost care in maintaining the quality of food.” The BMC has said that they have received the complaint and they will conduct an inspection of the restaurant.
