Close on the heels of a Bengaluru customer reporting a cockroach in fried rice delivered by Zomato, a customer has said she found a cockroach in her meal ordered from a Gurugram-based restaurant through the food delivery app.
The incidents highlight the fact that while food delivery applications offer a convenient solution for our fast-paced lives, the quality of food remains a huge concern.
The customer, Sonai Acharya, took to social media to share her distressing experience after finding a cockroach in her bowl of Japanese ramen from a restaurant called Auntie Fug's.
Sharing pictures of the repulsive discovery, Acharya criticised the incident as "completely unacceptable and gross" and pointed fingers at Zomato's quality control.
