A major controversy erupted online as a UK man walked into an Iskcon restaurant in London, filming himself eating KFC chicken after challenging the staff about it being a 'vegan restaurant.'
In the video, a Black man can be seen entering Govinda's restaurant, holding a food packet.
He then approaches the food counter and asks the two women behind it if it is a vegan restaurant.
'No meat, no onion, no garlic,' one replies.

'Are you sure there is no meat?' he presses.
The women reaffirm and gesture to a sign outside clearly indicating it's a vegetarian restaurant.
The man then reveals a KFC fried chicken basket, sets it on the counter, and begins eating a chicken leg.
One of the women inquires about it, quickly realising it's meat.
She asks him to leave, while the other employee seeks assistance.
Unfazed, the man continues eating the chicken leg. 'You want some?' he offers, holding out the half-eaten piece to the shocked staff member.
He then approaches another employee, who repeats that they don't serve meat, as he dangles the chicken from his mouth, offering it again.
A customer intervenes, saying, 'Excuse me, you are violating someone's religious practices. That's not fair,' prompting the man to shout, 'Free the chicken!' before leaving the restaurant.
An African boy entered ISKCON's Govinda restaurant and confirmed if it is a vegetarian restaurant.
He then took out his KFC Chicken and started eating it and offered them to other people to mock them.

The video triggered widespread anger among Indians online. 'Total nightmare for the people inside. What should we call this? Racism or pure Hindu Hate?' read the caption.
Many called for the restaurant to file a police complaint, while others criticised the man for deliberately provoking the staff.
'The intentional violation of a cultural and religious norm in this manner is a clear demonstration of intolerance,' one user commented.
Another questioned, 'Apart from horrendous, what is he trying to do and why? Is he offended that people can be vegetarian? Or are people waiting to use or misuse someone who doesn't know what they're doing?'
A third user condemned his 'filthy and sick mindset,' stating, 'He achieved nothing by harassing people! Zero achievement but created nuisance.'
