Earth Indian restaurant on 10th Ave in New York City has evidence of mice or live mice in the facility’s food and/or non-food areas and is not vermin proof, says the New York City Department of Health after inspecting this Indian restaurant on February 13, 2008.
Also, if you plan on eating at this dirty Indian restaurant, please, please pray that you don’t feel like going to the restroom because the toilet at Earth is not maintained and garbage receptacles are not provided or inadequate at this facility.
You may have to bring your own toilet paper too because the February 13, 2008 health inspection report also points out that the toilet facility at Earth Indian restaurant is not maintained and provided with toilet paper, waste receptacle and self-closing door.
A restaurant that cannot maintain a toilet facility or provide toilet paper to its customers – how disgusting!
