YouTuber's Post on Restaurant’s No-Service-Charge Policy Sparks Social Media Outrage Over ₹10,030 Bill
A recent post by YouTuber Ishan Sharma has sparked conversation regarding the pricing strategies in luxury restaurants.
A post by a YouTube creator Ishan Sharma regarding a restaurant’s no-service-charge policy has gained significant attention for unexpected reasons, as the food bill he shared online left social media users in disbelief.
The dining experience featured five dishes: paneer khurchan, daal bhukhara, paneer makhani accompanied by khasta roti, and pudina parantha, all presented at a considerable cost. Sharma pointed out the “no service charge” message displayed beneath the total amount. In his social media update, Sharma remarked, “Restaurants, please pay attention!”
Ishan Sharma posted a picture of a restaurant receipt on X (formerly Twitter), drawing attention to the establishment’s choice not to impose a service fee. Nevertheless, the internet was particularly struck by the steep total of ₹ 10,030 for what appeared to be a standard North Indian meal.
The feedback from social media users was largely negative. Numerous individuals conveyed their astonishment and skepticism regarding the high prices. One commenter noted that the ₹ 2,900 fee for the paneer makhani appeared excessive, while another drew attention to the ₹ 1,125 charge for three paranthas.

“Bro they charged you Rs. 375 for a roti worth Rs. 25, they wouldn’t care to collect a 10% SC,” said one user. “They have already deducted half a month’s salary of a hotel management intern from you for five dishes, all while showing you no service charge,” was another comment.
Some comments focused on visiting such heavy-priced hotels. “It seems unnecessary to force oneself to visit a luxurious hotel just to dine and then complain about the bill. There is no obligation to go there, after all,” says a comment originally written in Hindi.
