For seafood lovers, the Norwegian Salmon is priced at Rs 1700, while Shrimp Kushiyaki costs Rs 650. Torii’s Controversy And Co-Founder’s Response While Torii has earned attention for its fine-dining menu, it recently faced controversy after a content creator accused the restaurant of serving “fake” paneer. The restaurant’s co-founder, Abhayraj Kohli, addressed the allegations in an interview with Pop Diaries, saying that maintaining consistency in a high-end restaurant can be challenging despite strict hygiene standards. Chef Stefan Gadit also responded to the controversy, revealing that the incident unexpectedly boosted business. “It increased our business and I got more than 20-30 followers on Instagram, so that was a blessing in disguise,” he shared. He added that after a discussion, the creator understood and deleted the post. “We believe people are smart enough to understand what was going on,” he said. Before entering hospitality, Gauri Khan had already built a strong reputation as an interior designer. Through Gauri Khan Designs, she has styled celebrity homes and luxury spaces, including restaurants like Arth and Sanchos.
