In their post, they directly tagged both @zomato and @deepigoyal, questioning the standards being maintained. Their words were sharp and direct,

“Hey @zomato @deepigoyal would you eat this pav bhaji, I got stale food with stone pieces from zomato, on raising SR, neither my money was refunded nor the food was exchanged. Have some shame you fraudsters, never faced such situation with @Swiggy. Ord Id – 7193956897.”

This post highlighted not just the issue of stale food and contamination but also the customer’s dissatisfaction with Zomato’s response system. According to the user, even after raising a service request, neither a refund was processed nor the food exchanged, adding to their disappointment. By comparing their experience with Swiggy, they also emphasized that they had never faced such an issue with Zomato’s competitor.

“Hi there, we understand this could be frustrating, please allow us some time to get this checked. Our team will connect with an update to you.”

Considering the gravity of the issue, stale food with stone pieces, the response appeared weak and dismissive. Instead of addressing the matter with urgency or offering immediate resolution, the platform chose a standard, template-like reply.

In conclusion, this incident highlights how even leading food delivery platforms can fall short in maintaining quality and handling complaints effectively. While the customer’s experience was clearly unacceptable, Zomato’s generic response only added to the disappointment. To regain trust, the platform must prioritize swift action, accountability, and stronger quality checks moving forward.
