Delhi Heights Review – Mediocre Food, Lousy Service
We don’t know about you schmucks but we hate Live Roaches and Rats.
Particularly in restaurants that we dine in.
Folks, if we’ve said it once we’ve said it a million times – NYC Indian restaurants are notoriously unhygienic and dirty.
Take for instance Delhi Heights located on 74th Street in Jackson Heights.
Delhi Heights has evidence of rats/live rats and live roaches in its food and/or non-food areas, says the New York City Health Department following an inspection of this Indian restaurant on December 28, 2010.
Wait, there is more to Delhi Heights’ hygiene nightmare.
Besides the issues of live rats and live roaches, NYC Health Dept’s report of December 28, 2010 also cites other violations at Delhi Heights like food not protected from potential source of contamination during storage, preparation, transportation, display or service.
Delhi Heights Indian restaurant located at 37-66 on 74th St in Jackson Heights, New York received a whopping 46 Violation Points.
