Varanasi Restaurant Faces Criticism Over Horror Experience
Varanasi, India – A video circulating online has drawn significant concern regarding a “horror” experience offered at the Kankal Horror restaurant in the Chetganj area of Varanasi. The video, originally posted on the restaurant’s Instagram account, depicts a staff member wearing a ghost costume approaching customers and attempting to elicit reactions of fear. The incident occurred within the restaurant’s themed environment, which specializes in providing a deliberately frightening experience.
While some patrons appeared to engage with the performance with amusement, a specific moment has become the subject of considerable criticism. A young boy is observed reacting intensely to the staff member’s approach, exhibiting visible distress and crying. This reaction has prompted debate about the appropriateness of using intense fear tactics, particularly with young children, within the restaurant’s operations.
Telegrafi reports that many are describing the experience as exhibiting “shocking value,” raising questions about the ethical considerations of a horror-themed restaurant and its interactions with patrons, especially vulnerable individuals. The restaurant has not yet issued a formal statement addressing the concerns raised by the video.
