Zomato users in Chandigarh were perplexed after they stumbled upon unusual restaurants listed on the app, offering only ‘one dish,’ often at extremely high prices. These restaurants, many in the Nayagaon area, have bizarre names, vague addresses, absurd prices, and unusual dish descriptions with either no reviews or overwhelmingly negative feedback. The dish's names further raised eyebrows—‘Naughty Strawberry,’ ‘Kiwi Delight Mojito’, and ‘Citrus Punch’, among others. However, the names don’t clarify what is really being sold, sparking conspiracy theories online. Some even speculated about potential illegal activities such as drug distribution or money laundering. Sharing screenshots of the suspicious restaurants on X, formerly known as Twitter, the user also tagged the food delivery giant’s CEO Deepinder Goyal and Chandigarh police. As of now, the mystery of these one-dish restaurants remains unsolved. Deepinder Goyal Offers Chief of Staff Job Position at Zomato, Sets Pre-Conditions Like INR 20 Lakh ‘Fee’ and Zero Salary for First Year; Know How to Apply.

This Is How the Internet Reacted!
Nayagaon is a place known for drug activities.

People Share Their Experience
I tried ordering from one of the restaurants. After quite a long wait, the order was rejected and my money was refunded. The restaurant also stopped accepting orders after that - very very sus.

Is Zomato Even Aware of Such Practises?
I seriously doubt Zomato is even aware of such malpractice, but it does make for a great headline 😅 (jk)

Money Laundering?
mostly probably a money laundering front!

Another Probable Theory
This can be the product team testing things out. Products might be deliberately costly and sus looking to reduce chances of someone actually placing an order.

It's Quite Sus!
Money laundering☠️

Zomato's Previous Tweet on AI-Generated Food Images
At Zomato, we use various forms of AI, to make our workflows efficient.
However, one place where we strongly discourage the use of AI is images for dishes in restaurant menus. AI-generated food/dish images are misleading, and we have received numerous customer complaints on this… pic.twitter.com/XXgSDGr6Aj
