What was supposed to be a light Sunday dinner turned out to be a buggy affair for Maharukh Irani, 76, and her family. They had ordered food from the popular eatery Kailash Parbat in Colaba. Halfway through the meal, Irani was horrified after spotting a cockroach inside the vada she had taken a bite of. Her family later sent a written complaint to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday demanding action against the restaurant.

Big roach

Irani's son-in-law, Pervez Cooper said their order had been delivered by the restaurant's staff. "My mother-in-law took a bite of the vada and felt something hard inside it. When she looked closer, she realised it was a big cockroach. We were shocked seeing something like this from a restaurant of such repute," said Cooper. When Cooper brought the matter to the restaurant's notice, they apologised and refunded the money.
