Another user criticized the establishment, stating, "What a joke to food safety @TheobromaIndia. Do you even conduct audits? A small cockroach indicates that larger ones might be present, creating a breeding ground. Please adhere to the basic safety standards as outlined in Schedule IV of FSSAI."

One Reddit user humorously noted, "That’s the Food inspector doing Quality checks," while another added, "Poetic. This is where the lines between satire and reality blur. The cockroach symbolizes a bribe-seeking food inspector." Many users shared their own disturbing experiences and voiced concerns regarding food safety and hygiene at popular dining spots.

A user recounted, "I visited a fine dining restaurant for dinner, and there were red ants all over the chair. I left immediately. Hygiene is not taken seriously in this country." The post gained traction on Reddit, with users joking that the cockroach might have been inspecting the food quality.
