A popular independent Indian restaurant has been handed a food hygiene rating of one just months after it re-opened following a fire. Food safety officers working on behalf of Swansea Council and the Food Standards Agency visited Mumbai Indian Kitchen, in Blackpill, Mumbles, on January 25 and their findings have now been shared.
For the categories of "hygienic food handling" and "management of food safety" food safety officers reported "major improvement necessary". However for the "cleanliness and condition of facilities and building" category food safety officers found conditions were "generally satisfactory". Nevertheless overall the restaurant was given a rating of one, which means "major improvement necessary".
The poor result comes just four months after the restaurant finally reopened after months of closure following a fire. Staff and customers were devastated in January, 2022 after an electrical fire ripped through the business and caused serious damage to the structure of the restaurant and everything inside.
