Dining out at a fancy restaurant is surely a pleasant experience for many. While some go for the delicious food, others enjoy the service, presentation and overall vibe. However, there is always a section of people who cannot help but discuss the inflated prices of basic dishes at upscale restaurants. Recently, a woman visited one of the restaurants by Virat Kohli and shared her experience on X (formerly Twitter). She posted a picture of bhutta (corn on the cob). The snap featured a few slices of corn plated with a dollop of dipping sauce and garnished with scallions.
In her caption, she highlighted the dish’s staggering price. She said, “Paid ₹525 for this today at One8 Commune,” accompanied by a crying emoji.

Echoing a similar sentiment, a user said, “Well, usually, they charge for the ambience. Food is anyway basic. But the ambience makes it better.”
