The restaurant issued a statement in response to the video, saying the video has "false claims" and no unhygienic practices have occurred. The restaurant wrote, "The Truth matters - especially when it's distorted. A video from our Sanpada outlet is being shared with false claims. It was filmed illegally, without consent, during routine cleaning hours over a month ago. No unhygienic practices occurred - only standard protocols taken out of context."
Assuring food safety adherence, they added, "At Meraki, we uphold the highest hygiene standards, backed by FSSAI licenses, third-party audits, and full compliance documentation. We've taken legal action against this attempt at coercion and remain transparent with our community."
The restaurant also thanked its patrons for their support. "To our community - thank you for your continued trust. We remain committed to transparency, quality, and the principles that have built Meraki into the space it is today."
