Expressing dissatisfaction with the restaurant, Sai teja took to social media, urging followers with a tweet: “Avoid ordering from Mehfil Kukatpally.”
Additionally, the user experienced a barrier while attempting to file a complaint via the Food Safety & Standards Authority of india (FSSAI) website, noting that "the system prompts me to fill in additional details despite entering all necessary information."
Netizens react
With 66.3K views on X, the tweet attracted notice swiftly. One user wrote, "It's unfortunately common nowadays." Expect negligible flavor at most. Nobody questions this mafia-esque structure. Simply stop buying groceries online.
Echoing similar incidents, another user shared, “I faced the same issue and even found sharp plastic in the food. swiggy seems focused solely on business with vendors.”
