GUWAHATI: Acting on a complaint the food safety department officials on Monday did a check on the Kasturi restaurant famous for serving Bengali cuisine.
The officials found the kitchen of the restaurant kept in a very dirty condition missing hygiene standards.
The Ulubari-based restaurant was served a 7 days kitchen closure notice.
The food safety officials checked all the food items inside the deep freezer and other food items kept in the kitchen. They were not satisfied with the food preservation in the restaurant and had doubts about the condiments being used for food preparation.
The officials questioned the kitchen staff as to why vegetarian and non-vegetarian items were loaded in the same compartment of the deep freezer.
The officials collected a few items as samples from the kitchen which they believed had crossed the expiry date.
