Zoho Corp's founder and chief executive officer (CEO), Sridhar Vembu, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share his review of "garlic-infused black gram cappuccino with rye lavash".

Mr Vembu posted a cropped image of the dish on the menu card and wrote, "When the universe conspires to give you "Garlic infused black gram cappuccino with rye lavash" (sic) at a way-too-fancy way-too-cool high-end fusion restaurant and you paid for it, it is best to think: Pain is Real, Suffering is Optional."

In a subsequent tweet, Mr Vembu quipped, "Imagine Cappucino and Garlic black gram soup having an illegitimate child."
