Take the Challenge: Ditch Plastic Spoons at Restaurants! 🍽️🚫

@Shrut19 चुनौती में भाग लेने के लिए आपका बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद। मैं आपकी सहभागिता की सराहना करता हूँ। :folded_hands:

इस चुनौती के हिस्से के रूप में, यह अनिवार्य है कि आप उस स्थान का Google Maps “प्लेस लिंक” और आपकी लिखी हुई “रिव्यू लिंक” साझा करें, जहाँ आपने खाने के दौरान उपयोग की जा रही कटलरी का प्रकार देखा हो।

इससे हमें निगरानी रखने में आसानी होती है और हम जागरूकता को और प्रभावी ढंग से फैला सकते हैं! :globe_showing_europe_africa:

Very interesting challenge dear @KetanChhaniyara, Even little actions for sustainability are very welcome. I am so happy to participate in the challenge.

The restaurant don’t offer plastic cutlery and they keep the steel spoons and forks at the supply counter in a hot water bath. I noted that in my review. T

Here is my contribution for the challenge:

Hello @KetanChhaniyara I really like your idea of ditching plastic spoons at restaurants. It’s a small step but so important for our environment.

Recently I visited Delhi Ke Mashur Chole Kulche in Vadodara—the place everyone’s been talking about.
I ordered Chhole Kulche and Chur Chur Naan.The Kulche was so soft and Chur chur naan was crispy and stuffed just right,while chhole had the perfect delhi style spice kick.


Everything was served piping hot—and just when I was about to dig in, something small caught my eye…

It wasn’t the food.
It was the spoon.

Not plastic. Not wooden. But a good old steel spoon.

In a world where plastic spoons still dominate food joints, this small change felt big. It was clean, reusable, and surprisingly satisfying to eat with. No guilt, no waste—just food and mindfulness on the same plate.

It made me smile. A restaurant serving heavy, flavorful North Indian food and thinking about the environment? That’s rare.

Switching from plastic spoons to steel spoons is a small but powerful way to reduce pollution and protect the environment.

Benefits of using steel spoons:
:white_check_mark: Reusable and long-lasting
:white_check_mark: No harmful waste
:white_check_mark: Safer for health
:white_check_mark: Cost-effective in the long run

Let’s make this simple switch and serve food with care—for people and the planet! :green_heart:

Ditch the plastic, stir the change! :spoon::globe_showing_europe_africa: #NoPlasticSpoons

One spoon, many meals, zero waste. Go reusable! :recycling_symbol::fork_and_knife_with_plate:#SustainableDining

Plastic spoons are out, steel is in. Because the planet matters! :seedling: #DitchPlastic

The collage you shared beautifully captures your eco-friendly journey, and it’s wonderful to see establishments like Eat Like Punjab, Vrindavan Veg Restaurant, Kalinga Veg Restaurant, and Ameya embracing sustainable practices.

To further amplify the message and inspire more people, could you please share the Google Maps review links for these restaurants? Including details about their use of eco-friendly cutlery in your reviews would be incredibly helpful for others seeking sustainable dining options. :memo:

Dear @RosyKohli ji,
Thank you for your participation and I am glad to know that you have started mentioning about cutlery in your restaurant reviews.

While the challenge is already closed, I am not able to see your edited review. Might be its still under scanner of Google Maps algorithm.
