Harshita had ordered fried rice from a restaurant and noticed a cockroach in the box, as per a video shared by her. "I orderd chicken fried rice in zomato from restaurent "TAPRI BY THE CORNER". I got cockroach in my food. Absolutely disgusted with my order! This is completely unacceptable and unhygienic. Need an immediate resolution," she wrote and tagged the company, its CEO Deepinder Goyal and the Department of Consumer Affairs.
The food delivery platform took note of the same and replied, "That's really unexpected, Harshitha. We can understand how you must be feeling :( Could you please help us with your registered contact number/ Order ID via a private message so that we can look into this immediately?"

"Never ordering from @LeonGrill ever again!" he wrote in his post, adding, "Swiggy, do whatever you can to ensure this sh*t doesn't happen to others... Bengaluru folks take note".
The video showed a bowl filled with salad with a tiny snail resting on top of some veggies. in the clip, the insect is also seen moving. Mr. Singh stated that in addition to receiving the contaminated salad, his drink order was also incorrect in the post's comment area.
