Gauri Khan's Torii Is 'Utterly Surprised' As YouTuber Finds 'Fake Paneer' At Restaurant | Here's What Happened
Sarthak Sachdeva started off with Virat Kohli's One8 Commune, next he visited Shilpa Shetty's Bastian, followed by Bobby Deol's Someplace Else with a vial of iodine tincture.
We love to relish paneer dishes at fancy restaurants, but have we ever thought about the quality of the cottage cheese being used? A YouTuber recently went on a spree to find out if the poshest of the eateries in Mumbai, especially the celebrity-owned joints, offer quality paneer. During his journey, the content creator apparently found out ‘fake paneer’ at Gauri Khan’s Mumbai restaurant Torii.
YouTuber Sarthak Sachdeva took to Instagram and posted an elaborate video where he could be first seen ordering a paneer dish at these eating joints. Soon after the dishes arrived, he removed the fried coating from the paneer, washed it in a bowl of water and put iodine drops on it. Sarthak started off with Virat Kohli’s One8 Commune, next he visited Shilpa Shetty’s Bastian, followed by Bobby Deol’s Someplace Else with a vial of iodine tincture. All these restaurants passed his iodine test.

However, it was Gauri Khan’s Torii that couldn’t clear it. The paneer piece turned dark in colour immediately after it was introduced to iodine. “Shah Rukh Khan ke restaurant mein paneer nakli tha. Ye dekh ke mere toh hosh udd gaye (Shah Rukh Khan’s restaurant is selling fake paneer. I lost my mind on seeing this)." Sarthak could be heard saying in his vlog.
He captioned his video saying, “Fake paneer?"

Torii was quick to respond to the YouTuber’s claim in the comment box. It mentioned, “The iodine test reflects the presence of starch, not the authenticity of the paneer. As the dish contains soy-based ingredients, this reaction is expected. We stand by the purity of our paneer and the integrity of our ingredients at Torii."
Other social media users also flocked to the comment section. A curious user light-heartedly asked, “I mean how much did you pay for each fancy restaurant."
Someone praised Sarthak’s thought process and noted, “Bhai ka concept day by day" and added red heart emojis.
Mentioning the possible consequences, an individual asked, “Do you know they can file a complaint against you for unnecessarily defaming their business?"
A person also added, “It’s not like Gauri goes grocery shopping for her restaurant."
