The video then takes us inside the lavish buffets filled with a wide variety of choices. First, we spot a chef at a chaat station holding a small plate with a filled treat, while the bowls on the counter contain ingredients like chopped herbs like coriander or mint, diced onions, lime wedges, crispy fried papdis, chickpeas, and a few other legumes. Next, the video focuses on a person serving pani puri, the popular Indian street food snack, followed by one of the employees indulging in them. There are also plates of stir-fried noodles, kebabs garnished with green herbs, as well as multiple servings of a dish arranged on yellow plates kept on a heated surface, to keep them warm before serving.
The video also gives a virtual tour of a buffet-style food setup featuring desserts. It included a tray of what appears to be chocolate desserts and layered pastries, with nuts and chocolate shavings on top. Finally, the person recording the video seems to be enjoying the dish, which consists of a piece of meat or paneer arranged on a bed of grain, surrounded by a yellow puree and garnished with some green herbs and spices.
Besides the foodie delights, the video also showcased the customised gift boxes and an array of fun activities for the employees. Watch the complete viral video here:
