Twitter user @supermanleh posted a video of the incident and it shows a bunch of men who had gone to Delhi's popular South Indian restaurant Saravana Bhavan for a meal. To their disgust, one of the men was served sambar with a dead lizard inside it.

Reports suggest that the man, Pankaj Agarwal, was visiting the Connaught Place restaurant and had placed an order for sambar dosa. In the vomit-inducing video, the man can be seen holding up the dead lizard in his spoon and it is pretty obvious that he had eaten some of the sambar before realising there was a dead reptile in it.

He can also be heard saying that half of the lizard's body was missing and in the background, other people are asking Agarwal to take a photo of the menu so that everyone knows which restaurant it is.
