Getting food delivered at home has become an everyday scenario for many people, with instant food delivery made accessible and a wide variety of restaurants available at our fingertips. However, despite the convenience, some people often report food mix-up errors and voice their concerns on social media. One such complaint was recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) by a user named Himanshi (@himisingh01), who shared her disappointment after receiving a non-vegetarian meal instead of her vegetarian order. The customer said this was "not acceptable", especially during the ongoing month of "Saawan" when several people avoid consuming non-vegetarian food. The food was ordered from the restaurant EatFit via the food delivery platform Zomato. Both the restaurant and delivery agent have responded to the complaint.
The user wrote on X, "Have ordered the Palak Paneer soya matar and millet Pulao through Zomato from Eatfit. Instead of Palak Paneer, they have served chicken Palak. Delivering Chicken in Saawan is not acceptable when I have selected only vegetarian food."
