In our modern world, the convenience of ordering food through apps like Swiggy and Zomato has become an integral part of our lives. These platforms have streamlined the process of enjoying restaurant-quality meals in the comfort of our homes. However, a recent incident has raised concerns about the reliability and safety of such services.
A customer’s unusual Christmas surprise unfolded when he ordered food from Mumbai’s renowned Leopold Cafe through Swiggy. Leopold Cafe, a historic establishment with a tragic past as a target during the 2008 Mumbai attacks, holds a special place in the city’s culinary scene. Despite its popularity, a recent incident has cast a shadow on its reputation for quality.
Ujwal Puri, the customer in question, ordered chicken in oyster sauce from Leopold Cafe via Swiggy.
To his dismay, upon digging into his meal, he discovered a small strip of medicine in the dish.
Expressing his shock and dissatisfaction, he promptly shared pictures and a video of the contaminated food on social media, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter), tagging Swiggy in his post.
“My Mumbai Christmas Surprise ordered food from Swiggy from Leopold Colaba got this half cooked medicine in my food.”
Swiggy swiftly responded to Puri’s complaint, assuring him that they would address the issue through direct messages on X.
“We have got your DM, see you there.”
Their official response expressed disappointment in the situation, stating,
“We expect better from our restaurant partners, Ujwal. Do allow us a moment while we look into this.”

Despite the post being deleted later, the incident sparked a wave of outrage among netizens. Some directed their ire towards both the cafe and Swiggy, emphasizing that the responsibility ultimately lies with the restaurant to ensure the food’s quality before it reaches the delivery stage.
The incident serves as a reminder that the convenience of food delivery apps comes with potential risks, and the onus is on both restaurants and delivery platforms to uphold stringent quality and safety standards. This episode has reignited discussions about the need for heightened vigilance in the food delivery ecosystem.
