NYC Punishes Dhaba on Lexington Ave with a C-Grade
Dhaba NYC Review – Crappy Food & Crappier Service
Is it too much to ask Indian restaurants in New York City that they keep their premises and kitchens reasonably clean?
Indian restaurants in New York City are notoriously dirty.
Restrooms without toilet paper, spoiled food, dirty outer garments of staff, rats, mice, flying insects and other live animals are only some of the ugly aspects of many Indian restaurants in NYC.
We are sick and tired of reading New York City Health Department inspection reports that reveal how dirty our desi restaurants are.
The newest New York Indian restaurant to embrace rats, mice and flying insects is Dhaba on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan.
According to the New York City Department of Health, Dhaba is not vermin proof and has evidence of flying insects or live flying insects, mice or live mice, rats or live rats present in the facility’s food and/or non-food areas.
The NYC Department of Health inspected Dhaba restaurant on September 26, 2008.
Dhaba Indian Restaurant (108 Lexington Avenue, New York City), a recent addition to the Lexington curry hill area, is part of Bollywood supporting actor Shiva Natarajan’s chain of restaurants, which include Chola and Tadka.
Sanitary Violations observed at Dhaba during the September 26, 2008 inspection:
1.) Facility not vermin proof. Harborage or conditions conducive to vermin exist.
