Ordering food is a part of our life. Whether we are too lazy to cook or in the mood to eat something delicious, our mind goes straight to ordering homemade food. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that we have all become adept at ordering food online, right? And, we’ve experienced almost every food order disaster. At least, that’s what we like to believe! However, we came across an incident that we highly doubt you may have experienced. You will be stunned when Tamil lyricist meets Sesha with ordering food!
The incident happened in Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka when Ko Sesha decided to order food from Swiggy’s food venture The Bowl Company. The vegetarian artist ordered a bowl of cabbage Manchurian and corn fried rice. Upon receiving the order, he was shocked to find pieces of chicken in his vegetarian meal! When he complained, he was further stunned by the corporation when the customer care offered a compensation of INR 70 for this mistake. The total vegetarian meal was actually INR 179. Ko Shesh shared the incident on Twitter and the post has 1.5 likes, 587 retweets and 95 citation tweets. to keep track:
“Gobi Manchurian with Corn Fried Rice” got the chicken pieces I ordered @swiggy From @tbc_india, What was worse was that Swiggy customer care offered me a compensation of Rs. 70 (!!!) for “hurting my religious sentiments”. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/4slmyooYWq

People were stunned when they came to know about the incident. Many Indians are vegetarian for religious reasons; Therefore, many people were unhappy to see how lightly such a dire situation was taken by the corporation. Some vegetarians also suggest that it is safer to order food from a pure vegetarian restaurant rather than a restaurant that serves both. Here’s what people tweeted about the incident:
The culture of ordering cooked food online is also no less than RUBISH!
Being a Proud Vegetarian, I have never ordered any kind of food items online….
i trust zero @swiggy@zomato@dominos_india e.t.c.
Instead of contacting these companies, I would prefer to eat fruits or nuts! https://t.co/tdhso7YzI3— Indian Saurabh Vashisht (@BhartiyaDogra) August 19, 2022

Extreme vegetarians should order food from pure vegetarian restaurants so that there is no question of adulteration in non-vegetarian food. https://t.co/KfWxHUtBwr— Sanatani Warrior🚩 (inactive till Friday) (@Shivraj_MAH) 18 August 2022
A lesson for us is to never order food online. Their cleanliness can never be trusted. It takes hardly 20 minutes to walk to the nearby restaurant/dhaba. Maggie works too. https://t.co/f0qv2MNhGV— shivam (@easymoneysavour) 18 August 2022
this carelessness towards #vegetarianism And Hindu food beliefs and habits in particular are condemned. @swiggy@tbc_india You break the trust of the consumers. Do You Offer a Public Apology, Yet? https://t.co/doSN0HoV6G— rach/purohitsyaputri/ಪುರೋಹಿತರಮಗಳು (@Bengaluruhudugi) 18 August 2022
