Delhi Man Puts Up Sarcastic Review Of Lizard Sambar On Zomato And Files FIR
Agarwal immediately complained to the staff and they apologized. The manager assured him that it shall never happen again. However since the outlet has a heavy footfall, he decided to register a complaint. He also put up a sarcastic review on Zomato about the ‘lizard sambar’ from Sarvana Bhavan. The review read ” If you’re gonna sell lizard sambhar, at least put 2-3 lizards in it, also they were quite thin and stretchy and weren’t properly cooked. As you can see in the picture, I could only eat half of it.”
