Cooks in a jiffy,

The taste of which is never iffy!

-          ITC Kitchens of India

A scene at a busy and upmarket restaurant:

It’s a busy day at a restaurant when a young couple enter. They are identified to be the target of some good-natured fun.

They find themselves a cosy place and shortly thereafter the man summons a waiter. They ask what the specialty of the day is. The waiter tells them it is Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani and the couple defer to the waiter’s opinion and order it.

Half an hour grows onto one hour, but there is still no sign of the food.

 Impatience mounts on to irritation and the customer hauls up the waiter for some real serious answer as to why it is taking so much time.

The waiter placates them with please wait for another ten minutes, as the packet has not arrived. Every time the now belligerent customer calls him, the waiter asks for another ten minutes.

 The customer now trembling with anger demands to meet the manager.

 The manager arrives and profusely apologising says that they are in shortage of the packet...just then a man comes with a big carton. The manager takes out a packet from the carton and says oh, now the package has come and he shows them a packet of Kitchens of India with a, and if they could wait for just ten minutes it would be ready or they could get their money back.

Soon enough, the waiter brings a small stove with a packet of Kitchens of India’s Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani which he goes on to open and then proceeds to ‘make’ the dish within... he pulls out a stop watch ( timing it) ... ten minutes.

The restaurant has kept its word. Now would you, kind Sir, please pay the bill? The amount is equivalent of the cost for two in a restaurant at one of the ITC hotels.

Anger boils and fumigates into steam and the entire story and what follows is recorded and uploaded on YouTube.

The story ends with the couple being told that the joke was on them and would they please accept a hamper of Kitchens of India with best compliments from ITC? The happy couple leave with goodies from ITC.
