Cannot read? Dear me! - ITC Kitchens of India



Hello? I’m not sure I follow. What’s that again?

-          ITC Kitchens of India

On a lazy Sunday afternoon at Odriew restaurant:

A young family of four saunters into the restaurant on a lazy Sunday afternoon. They have been identified for a good-natured prank by the management and ITC Kitchens of India.

Having settled down, the gent asks for the menu while the woman tends to her naughty children. The waiter brings it and politely retreats.

The good gent opens it but…

…Hello? What language is this? Could you read it for me? The waiter apologizes but it is indeed in English, if you will look carefully?

The bewildered gent looks carefully at English-styled-like-Sanskrit and reads out slowly, Paneeraha Malaiyahaa…

What on earth is that, he demands to know.  (Tsk, tsk)

The waiter very patiently explains that, that’s Sanskrit for Paneer Malai.

The red-faced gent now an ugly blue demands to speak with the manager, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube! (Dear, dear!)

Sure enough, the manager arrives nervously wringing his hands and profusely apologizing says that they had been made a target of a prank all in jest and if it was alright, he could have another menu card.

Suitably mollified, the gent accepts the offer and enjoys his meal with his loving family.

The manager bids adieu to a very contented family but not before gifting them a hamper with best compliments from ITC Kitchens of India.
