The post has received 160K views so far. In the comments, a person asked, "So, did you pay for this worm salad or compensation was given?" The Instagram user replied, "Despite the complaint to the manager and chef, they came with the full bill. After 10 minutes of discussion when we said why we should pay despite eating stale food that too with worms. This worm we saw, we might have eaten too in a salad or some other food already."
