Gauri Khan's restaurant Torii Faces Fake Paneer Allegation

Gauri Khan's upscale Mumbai restaurant Torii faces fake paneer allegation after Instagram Influencer Sarthak Sachdeva shares a video of iodine test on paneer. In the video the creator claimed, "Shah Rukh Khan ke restaurant mein paneer nakli tha. Ye dekh ke mere toh hosh udd gaye the!" The same creator in past visited several celebrity-owned restaurants in Mumbai where he did the iodine test to check the quality of paneer. Among the stops were Virat Kohli's One8 Commune, Shilpa Shetty's Bastian, and Bobby Deol's Someplace Else.

While no paneer samples reacted at the other restaurants, a dish at Torii turned dark when exposed to iodine.

Torii, co-owned by interior designer Gauri Khan wife of Shahrukh Khan, soon issued a statement in response, explaining the science behind the reaction in the comment section of the viral video. "The iodine test reflects the presence of starch, not the authenticity of the paneer. As the dish contains soy-based ingredients, this reaction is expected. We stand by the purity of our paneer and the integrity of our ingredients at Torii".
