The Captain's Table is a famous restaurant in Newtownabbey in Ireland. Recently, the restaurant took to social media to share rather heart-warming news on social media. They announced on Facebook that a couple who frequents their restaurant a lot has now named their newborn after a dish at their restaurant.

In case you're wondering what dish it is, it's nothing but 'Pakora'. The same 'Pakora' we enjoy with tea during monsoons!

The restaurant shared the photo of the newborn and wrote, "Now this is a first...welcome to the world Pakora! We can't wait to meet you! xx"

Many netizens took to the post's comment section and extended warm congratulations while some even got involved in fun banter online and started writing funny comments. A user wrote, "This is my two teens - Chicken and tikka".

Another user wrote, "My favourite things to eat during my two pregnancies were Banana Popsicles and Watermelon. Thank God I used the sense I was born with and didn't name my kids after them".

Another one shared a photo of his child and wrote, "This is my kid, his name is chicken ball".
