Netizens were equally shocked with the post. One commented, "Looks like the poor guys ran out of preservatives."

"Because of writing in Hindi Zomato And BurgerKing are deliberately not replying. A few days ago, he gave me a chicken burger instead of veg. BurgerKing I don't know what kind of drug their cooks are taking who are serving veg as non-veg and such rotten fungus covered pav to the customers," another wrote.
