What are the things that vegetarians might dread when they order a meal at a restaurant that serves non-vegetarian food? That their soup might come with a piece of meat or that they would be asked by the staff to choose a vegetarian-only restaurant the next time?

In the case of two young professionals who went to dine at a well-known restaurant in Bandra, it turned out to be both. Avinash Ramnath, a 45-year-old financial sector employee went to Tavaa, a restaurant on Turner Road, with his friend for a late lunch last evening. When the soups they had ordered were served to them, Ramnath allegedly found a big chunk of chicken in his bowl.
