Man causes uproar at ISKCON’s London restaurant by eating KFC chicken inside

Restaurant employees, shocked by his behaviour, called for security and eventually escorted him out of the restaurant.

A disturbing incident at ISKCON's Govinda restaurant in London has sparked widespread outrage after a British youth of African descent allegedly disrupted the sanctity of the pure vegetarian establishment.

According to a viral video, the man entered the restaurant and asked whether meat was served. Upon learning that Govinda's only offers vegetarian fare, he reportedly pulled out a KFC chicken box and began eating it inside the premises.

The man’s actions didn’t stop there, he allegedly offered the non-vegetarian food to diners and staff, causing discomfort and disruption. Restaurant employees, shocked by his behaviour, called for security and eventually escorted him out of the restaurant.

The incident, which has since gone viral online, has triggered fierce condemnation on social media, with many users calling it a deliberate act of provocation and religious insensitivity. Some have labelled it a hate-driven display of intolerance, questioning whether the man’s actions were rooted in racism or a targeted attack on Hindu beliefs.

Others questioned why the police were not called, arguing that the man should be held accountable for intentionally violating cultural norms.

ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) is a global spiritual movement rooted in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. Its establishments, including restaurants like Govinda’s, uphold strict vegetarian principles as part of their religious ethos. This incident has reignited discussions about cultural respect and the importance of protecting sacred spaces from such acts of disregard.
