New Delhi: If you are a vegetarian consumer who is looking to order some tasty meals through online food delivery apps, better go with a 100% pure-veg restaurant or you might end up finding something you definitely don’t want in your ‘Veg’ food.
Why are we saying this? well, in recent times, one after another cases of vegetarian customers spotting chicken or other non-veg items in their online ordered food have come to light on social media.
The latest amongst them is from Pune, where a hardcore vegetarian man received a chicken piece inside the meal he ordered using online food delivery services.
Lashing out at the food delivery company, the guy then narrated his ordeal on social media, accusing the restaurant of hurting his sentiments by leaving chicken inside his vegetarian food.
