Bhojan NYC Review – A Plague on NYC Diners

Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realise.
- Swami Sivananda

Hey, did Sivananda say nothing at all about the importance of maintaining good hygiene in NYC Indian restaurants? ;)

Seriously, is it really hard to keep a restaurant clean in New York City.

Of course, if you ask part-time Bollywood actor and full-time restaurateur Shiva Natarajan a.k.a. Mr.Garrulous (the last time he called us he blah blahed for 4 hours, no kidding) it’s the hardest thing in the world. The fellow starts whining and comes up with a laundry list of excuses to explain the hygiene and sanitary problems at his NYC Indian restaurants – old buildings, landlord refuses to provide access to basement, NYC garbage pick-up policies blah blah blah.

Hell, the fella even threatened us (with legal action) for writing about the hygiene issues at his restaurants Dhaba, Bhojan, Tadka and Chola and complained we pick on him. Not true, Shiva.

If only the bloke would stop all his threatening nonsense, cut his blah blah blah by 95% and get back to work, his NYC Indian restaurants would not repeatedly be pulled up by the NYC Health Department over hygiene violations.

Shiva’s newest Indian restaurant Bhojan Indian restaurant located on Lexington Avenue is barely a few months old and already has run into a multitude of hygiene problems including evidence of, or live mice in facility’s food and/ or non-food areas, according to the New York City Health Department following its inspection of this Kosher Indian vegetarian restaurant on June 2, 2010.

In addition to mice issues, Bhojan is also not vermin proof and harborage or conditions conducive to vermin infestation exist, as per the June 2, 2010 NYC health inspection report.

Bhojan – Mice, Vermin Issues

The other sanitary violation cited by NYC health inspection include toilet facility not maintained and provided with toilet paper, waste receptacle and self-closing door and non-food contact surface improperly constructed. Continue reading »
