On May 23, food safety authorities in Telangana raided the Rameshwaram Cafe in Hyderabad and found expired stocks of urad dal and dairy products like curd and milk in the kitchen. This brought the popular cafe under scrutiny. To ensure their customers, the cafe released an apology statement and a video with the cafe’s co-founder Raghavendra Rao. In the video, he addressed the whole issue and even apologised to his patrons.
In the video, he said, “We are here to deliver the best product as promised and use the best ingredients forever. Little mistakes we have done and I sincerely apologise for it. I would like to convey to the entire customers that we follow APJ Abdul Kalam’s footsteps. Our vision is to play globally. We know we can’t make a single mistake. I take it as a lesson. I have told my entire team to correct each and every step so that we don’t go wrong anyway. This is how we learn. Again, I promise you that all our raw materials are of premium quality.”
Raghavendra Rao went on to mention how all the pulses, spices, and vegetables used in the restaurant’s kitchen are of “premium quality.” He even welcomes the food safety authorities to do another inspection to check the quality of their ingredients. He did maintain that mistakes were made and the restaurant will correct itself.
The apology video by Rameshwaram Cafe’s owner hasn’t impressed netizens and they are roasting him for his intimating apology.

His finger gestures were like, “next time u wont be so lucky” 😝😜

By any means, it doesn’t sound like an apology. 😂

With this video message, he does not seem apologetic at all. If you are using good quality products in your kitchen, then why did officials from FSSAI find expired items there? Sorry bro, but now I have major trust issues with hotels and restaurants.#NoToRestaurantFood

Thats his way of Warning ( apologizing).

He is desperate for everyone to believe him, but his words have lost value. He should take action and show rather than pointing finger at us to better believe him 😄

His aggressive body language is not resonating with his words.. its like I will take care of those who said there are expired items, but please eat in my outlet..

I’m glad that the food inspection team cracked down on popular restaurants like #RameshwaramCafe. As a business owner, I’m also aware that we’re humans – and a lot of us have good intentions, but I have one message for #RaghavendraRao – if you have ambitions to open centers and…

Not going there after seeing this. He’s threatening the customers 😂

It seems he is giving warning to all for the food inspection ride 😂
— KHIREN™ 👑 (@Followkhiren) May 28, 2024
Hi body language is not like apologizing..it is as if he is warning customers that don’t stop eating at their outlets just because these raids happened. There is no iota of guilt that their restaurant caught by officials following bad practices.

Prices are premium,
Inspection was premium,
Apologies aren’t that premium dude…— Mr. D (@DineshRedEE) May 27, 2024
