Utsav NYC Review – Below Average Food; Poor Service
Utsav, a New York Indian restaurant that we’d prefer to forget given our unpleasant dining experience there, is still not vermin proof and there is evidence of mice or live mice in the facility’s food and/or non-food areas, says the New York City Department of Health after it inspected the restaurant on November 17, 2008.
Utsav Festive India Restaurant located in MidTown West Manhattan near Times Square in New York City received 21 Violation Points, an improvement over the 39 Violation Points this lousy Indian restaurant received in the previous inspection of August 21, 2008.
