Gauri Khan, the one and only owner of the Pan-Asian restaurant named Torii in Bandra’s plush Pali Hill, has been recently caught up in quite an unexpected gossipy storm. Known for its fabulous interiors as well as an elite customer base, the restaurant has recently been accused of serving “fake paneer” by popular YouTuber, Sarthak Sachdeva.
Here’s how the restaurant responded to the claims.
YouTuber Claims Fake Paneer at Torii
Sarthak Sachdeva, who runs a popular food review series, tested the paneer served at Torii using the iodine tincture method. In the viral video, Sarthak claimed that the iodine turned the paneer blue-black, which is usually an indication of starch adulteration. He exclaimed, “Shah Rukh Khan ke restaurant mein paneer nakli tha. Ye dekh ke mere toh hosh udd gaye the!” (The paneer at Shah Rukh Khan’s restaurant was fake. I was completely shocked when I saw that.)

In the same video, Sarthak performed the same test at other celebrity-owned restaurants like Virat Kohli’s One8 Commune, Shilpa Shetty’s Bastian, and Bobby Deol’s restaurant. He reported that the paneer from these spots did not turn black, leading him to believe the others served authentic paneer. The YouTuber’s shocking findings quickly went viral, with many social media users sharing their opinions on the matter.
