Dining out at a fancy restaurant is surely a pleasant experience for many. While some go for the delicious food, others enjoy the service, presentation and overall vibe. However, there is always a section of people who cannot help but discuss the inflated prices of basic dishes at upscale restaurants. Recently, a woman visited one of the restaurants by Virat Kohli and shared her experience on X (formerly Twitter). She posted a picture of bhutta (corn on the cob). The snap featured a few slices of corn plated with a dollop of dipping sauce and garnished with scallions.
In her caption, she highlighted the dish's staggering price. She said, “Paid ₹525 for this today at One8 Commune,” accompanied by a crying emoji.

Well, the post didn't sit well with the people online. Several X users reacted to the woman's post. Check out some of the reactions below:
A person wrote, “You didn't pay for this. You paid for the vibes."
Another said, “Money is ambience, service & cleanliness. That comfy chair, good-looking rich people around, nice crockeries. Get the same thing in thela for 30Rs. The choice is yours.”
Echoing a similar sentiment, a user said, “Well, usually, they charge for the ambience. Food is anyway basic. But the ambience makes it better.”
A few pointed out “You knew this before ordering, so stop crying.”
“Behen, bahar se butta kha leti 20 ka ataa. [Sister, you could've just eaten corn from outside for 20 bucks.],” said another.
Meanwhile, a section on social media backed the woman and called the dish "expensive."
