Man triggers row by eating chicken inside ISKCON's Govinda restaurant in London

A controversy erupted recently after an African-British man was caught on camera eating chicken inside a popular ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)-run vegetarian restaurant in London.

The incident occurred inside Govinda restaurant.

The man reportedly entered the restaurant and asked the staff members whether it serves non vegetarian food to customers.

When informed that only vegetarian food is offered, he allegedly pulled out a takeaway box of chicken—reportedly from KFC—and began eating it inside the premises, reported Mint.

He reportedly offered staff and other customers non-vegetarian foods.

The video has now gone viral online.

A user criticised him and posted on X: "A deranged bigot who goes by a name Cenzo struts into the ISKCON temple in London waving KFC chicken, not for hunger, but to humiliate, provoke, desecrate and hurt sentiments. Make no mistake as this wasn’t a prank but a vile and disgusting hate crime."

"Another said: "I found the guy who offended millions of Hindus by eating chicken in the religious kitchen of the ISKCON temple in London. He goes by the name Cenzo. Here’s his YouTube channel ."

Another said: "A disturbing video has surfaced showing a man entering an ISKCON Govinda’s vegetarian restaurant in London — not just to eat meat, but deliberately mocking Hindu beliefs by waving around KFC chicken in front of devotees and guests, urging them to try it."
