What should you never order at an Indian restaurant?

*What should you never order at an Indian restaurant?*
Being in the hospitality industry for a couple of years now, here are some tips I’d like to give you if you visit any restaurant in India. Keep in mind that almost every restaurant ranging from small-scale to large-scale only has one goal in mind - Profit.

Starting with a very obvious point, never ever go to a restaurant on Monday and Tuesday (sometimes Wednesday too) especially for non-veg meals. The ingredients used are the leftovers from the weekend.

Wholly avoid a restaurant which doesn’t attract a lot of crowd. Because of the same point mentioned above.

All-you-can-eat buffet is a total waste of money. The starters served in these buffets are filled with appetite suppressant chemicals such as CLA, forskolin etc. The main course? Well leftovers from the previous day never go to waste.

Hygiene is a major concern. In 5-star and above hotels there is a standard procedure to maintain the overall hygiene. In normal restaurants? None!
Because maintaining hygiene takes a lot of effort and isn’t always the priority. Chef takes a toilet break nobody is there to supervise whether he/she has washed hands or not. Nobody is there to supervise whether the chef is wearing white cap over his head or not. There is always a worker who is given the job of chopping vegetables. And 99% of the time, he is chopping those vegetables on the floor. Does he even wash the veggies? Nope! Thus, never ever order uncooked food such as salad!

Never order non-veg dish from MNC or big hotel chains. These multi-national food chains don’t give a damn about the health of the consumers. You’ll find the stalest meat in their cold storage. They have secret ingredients travelling all the way from USA to cover up the staleness of the meat.

As pointed by Abhi Bharadwaj, inspections do happen but food inspectors are a joke. Some of the ingredients used by these MNCs are poisonous and can cause severe health problems and the inspectors know each and everything about it.
Money solves everything. It’s a win-win situation.

Satpal Singh - No cap no entry is strictly followed only in 5-star and above hotels and in some 3-star hotels. I started my career a 3-star hotel. And let me tell you something. Leftovers are the lifeline to these hotels. As a hotelier you should know how unhealthy and dangerous these buffets are.

Aniket Mishra - Thank you so much for pointing out Barbecue Nation! Completely forgot about it. If BN was the last place on earth to serve food, DON’T GO! Their rule is simple. If onion has fungus, it goes into the gravy else it goes into the salad. And it’s just the tip of the ice-berg. I can write a whole essay on it, maybe someday I will.

Yash - Who said anything about food poisoning? That’s too mild. These chemicals used in MNC or big hotel chains etc. cause improper growth of the cells, which grow into cancer. Adulterated ingredients cause diabetes and heart problems (because of blockages in arteries). You won’t know the difference right now. Come back to this answer after 10 years.

Just remember
*Must Know -- Don't eat in Restaurants the Weekend  Leftover  Food  Served Till Wednesday*🙏❤
