How did Reddit users react to the post?
An individual wrote, "Best stay away from any cloud kitchens on Swiggy/Zomato. Quality and standards are not at the restaurant level. Especially Freshmenu."
A second commented, "What I've observed nowadays is that if I were to search for any dish on Zomato, the first few search results/ads/recommendations are from cloud kitchens. I literally take ten+ minutes to search for the restaurants again on Google and see if it's actually a regular restaurant."

"I've found cockroaches multiple times, in the soup ordered from a cloud kitchen, in the biryani ordered from the famous Nandini restaurant. All I know is very few of them follow proper hygiene & the sensible thing is to avoid having outside food," posted a third.
A fourth said, "This is the second post I saw where a cockroach was found in Freshmenu food. There was another post in the Mumbai subreddit recently where someone else shared the same thing. This place needs to be reviewed all over."
"I think the number of establishments that are getting these tiny roaches also has to do with overcrowding and the resulting difficulty in maintaining hygiene. Not to mention, the management of so many places declines the more they sack and open a million branches. Bangalore is becoming a hot mess," added a fifth.
