Swiggy reacts
The customer mentioned about ordering the food online via Swiggy and asked the delivery app to look into the issue while reporting concerns about the quality of food packed at Mumbai’s well-known eatery located in Colaba.
Responding to the tweet, Swiggy noted the blunder and promised him of looking into the matter. “We expect better from our restaurant partners, Ujwal. Do allow us a moment while we look into this,” they said in a reply.
