The owners is shown in the video trying to make fun of a member of staff for his English speaking skills. Awais, an employee is snarkily questioned by the women about the English language classes they had him take to develop his language abilities.”So, this is our manager who has been here for nine years.

— N✨ (@__Dragunov) January 20, 2021 After the video was posted several times, #BoycottCannoli was trending on Twitter. After uproar from the restaurant page, the footage was taken down. An explanation has now been given on the official website. We are shocked and horrified by the people’s reaction to how they misconstrued our banter with a member of the team. This video portrays the gup shup as a team between us, and is never intended or taken. Well, what occurred after this video surfaced is not unknown to anyone, provided that in every corner of Pakistani social media, Cannoli Islamabad has become the most talked about restaurant.
