Diner finds live insect in biryani at Hyderabad restaurant

The diner has filed a complaint against Ulavacharu Hotel with the Health Wing of the GHMC (Central Zone).

Hyderabad: A live insect was found in a dish ordered by a consumer dining at the Ulavacharu Hotel in Jubilee Hills. A complaint has been filed with the Health Wing of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.

B Kiran Goud, a member of the Mandal Parishad Territory Constituency of Saroor Nagar, said, “We went to the Ul avacharu Hotel for lunch on Tuesday, and I ordered a Jaipur mutton pulao. When the waiter was serving us our second helping, we found an insect in the dish. It was alive and wriggling. I called for the captain, and his response was that such things happen and that he would replace the dish. I asked him if he would eat the pulao. His response forced me to file a complaint. If the management had apologised, the matter could have been resolved at the hotel itself.”
