Watch: When a man eats KFC chicken at London ISKCON's Govinda restaurant, offers it to others to mock them

A video has gone viral showing a man of African descent eating KFC chicken inside ISKCON's Govinda restaurant in London — a strictly vegetarian establishment — and offering it to staff and diners in what many online are calling a deliberately disrespectful and provocative act. The incident unfolded when the man entered the restaurant carrying a KFC box. He approached the counter and asked if the restaurant served non-vegetarian food. Upon being informed that Govinda's only serves vegetarian meals in line with ISKCON's religious principles, he pulled out the chicken, placed it on the counter, and began eating it in front of stunned staff and patrons.

Many viewers criticized the act as intentionally provocative, accusing the man of mocking the religious values upheld by ISKCON. Live Events Social media users expressed anger and disbelief: 'It's extremely disrespectful to walk into a clearly vegetarian establishment like Govinda's and deliberately violate its principles — especially by mocking others. Respecting religious and cultural spaces is basic decency,' wrote one user. 'This isn't about race or religion — it's about behaving with dignity in someone else's space.' Others pointed out signs that the act was premeditated, noting that the man entered with a cameraman and appeared to be filming the entire episode for social media content. 'It was perfectly planned. He even came in with a cameraman. Let's see if the London Police take any action against them,' commented another user. Some questioned whether the response from ISKCON and authorities had been too lenient: 'Has ISKCON become too gentle? Bhakti bhav is taught, but where are Krishna and Arjun's lessons on defending dharma? Would another peaceful religion not have set a stronger precedent?' Another user added: 'This incident isn't just a joke — it's a clear sign that some people have zero respect for others' faith and sentiments. Such behavior inside a religious space like ISKCON isn't casual; it's a deliberate provocation and mockery. If actions like these are ignored, then in the name of 'tolerance,' disrespecting culture and belief will become the new normal.' The restaurant has not released an official statement as of now, but the incident has reignited debates around religious tolerance, cultural respect, and the boundaries of acceptable behavior in sacred spaces.
