Indian eatery in Abu Dhabi closed for flouting norms

An Indian eatery in Abu Dhabi has been closed for violating health codes despite repeated warnings, according to a media report.

The Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA) decided to shut down Midin Restaurant in Mussafah area for flouting norms and not maintaining general hygiene, the Khaleej Times reported.

The restaurant, that ignored four previous warnings, failed to maintain hygiene standards of the food stored and apply pest control services, it said.

Thamer Rashed Al Qasemi, ADFCA's spokesperson, said that the restaurant stored the food at an unsuitable room temperature and the vegetables were kept in the open, exposed to insects.

He said that the two warnings were sent last year and two sent earlier this year in February and March.
