Influencer and YouTuber Sarthak Sachdeva recently took to social media, where he dropped a video that is now going viral all over. Sharing the video, he accused Torii of serving fake paneer. 

Now, the official handle of the restaurant has reacted to it by commenting on his video and writing, “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.”

In the video, Sarthak Sachdeva is seen visiting some of the famous restaurants of some well-known stars and testing the paneer served on dishes by performing an iodine tincture test on it. For the unversed, if the paneer turns black and blue when iodine touches it, it indicates the presence of starch.


The YouTuber went to Virat Kohli’s One8 Commune, Shilpa Shetty’s Bastian and Bobby Deol’s Someplace Else to test the quality of the paneer being served. None of the paneer samples from the dishes turned black, indicating the absence of starch.

However, when he visited Gauri Khan’s restaurant Torii and tested the paneer, it turned blue-black, indicating that starch was present on the paneer. 

Reacting to this, Sarthak said, “Shah Rukh Khan ke restaurant mein paneer nakli tha. Ye dekh ke mere toh hosh udd gaye the.” (Shah Rukh Khan’s restaurant served fake paneer. I was shocked to see this).

Sharing the video, he captioned it, “Fake paneer?” He also took to the comment section and wrote, “SRK is my idol. It’s a dream to meet him once. Will I be able to meet him ever after this?”
