A YouTube creator recently generated buzz across social media platforms by posting a restaurant bill of Rs 10,030. The total amount is not what caught people's eye, though. What really drew everyone's interest was the price of individual items. One dish of Paneer Khurchan cost Rs 2,900. Three Pudina Paratha cost Rs 1,125. Shocked at the bizzare prices, right? Just like you, a number of people were shocked. 

YouTuber Ishan Sharma recently shared an image of a restaurant bill on X (formerly Twitter), sparking a conversation online. The receipt showcased the restaurant’s decision to waive the service charge, but what truly grabbed attention was the staggering total of Rs 10,030 for a seemingly simple North Indian meal.

The meal consisted of five items—paneer khurchan, daal bhukhara, paneer makhani, khasta roti, and pudina parantha—each priced steeply. Beneath the total, the bill prominently mentioned “no service charge,” which Sharma highlighted in his post, captioning it with, “Restaurants, take note!”

Netizens React

The response on social media was overwhelmingly critical, with many users expressing astonishment at the exorbitant prices. One commenter remarked that charging Rs 2,900 for paneer makhani was excessive, while another pointed out the staggering cost of Rs 1,125 for just three paranthas.

A user worte, "I think, they have added service charge and all other charges in each dish's price. Rs 375 for 1 roti (Khasta or whatever) - You can get a full meal in this on Zomato without any discount. Paneer Khurchan for Rs 2900 - You can get One Plus earbuds for less"

Another commented, "Ishan is just toooo good at marketing (for better or worse), he knows exactly how to stay ‘relevant’. The irony isn’t lost on me, here I am, participating by replying and perfectly fulfilling the purpose of his tweet"

A third user wrote, "They have already deducted half a month's salary of a hotel management intern from you for five dishes, all while showing you no service charge."
