A Bengaluru man was left “utterly disgusted” after finding a live snail in a salad he ordered from a local restaurant chain. Dhaval Singh shared Reddit and Twitter posts on his unpleasant experience to warn other consumers.

On Twitter (the social media platform now known as X), Singh shared a video of the mollusc he found in his salad from Leon’s Grill. The Bengaluru-based techie said the salad was delivered via Swiggy as he vowed never to order from Leon’s Grill again.

“Swiggy, do whatever you can to ensure this sh*t doesn't happen to others... Bengaluru folks take note,” he wrote.


Singh said that not only did he receive a contaminated salad, his drink order was also incorrect. To make things worse, when he raised a complaint on Swiggy, the food delivery platform only offered him a partial refund.

However, Swiggy soon refunded the full order amount to Singh.

He shared more about the incident on Reddit and wrote: “Ordered a salad. Had a live snail in the lettuce... Thankfully I noticed it. Never ordering from this place again.”

Singh said the experience had left him “utterly disgusted” as he warned others to be careful of consuming food from outside. “Raised an issue on Swiggy. First they offered partial, but soon offered full refund,” he elaborated in the comments section of his post.
