Bawarchi & Saravana: Texas Restaurants Hygiene Concerns!

Many Indian restaurants in the US suffer from severe cleanliness issues. Though the outer premises look hygienic and clean, the inside premises, especially the kitchen and dishwasher area, look not so clean and hygiene.

Such restaurants include dirty staff clothing, impure water, unsanitary food storage, and a lack of cleanliness in various kitchen areas.

According to US media, during a health inspection in Plano, Texas, from July 30 to August 26, Indian restaurants received health scores of less than 70, which is considered extremely poor:

Bawarchi Biryanis Indian Cuisine Express at 8201 Ohio Drive, Suite 105, scored 63 for temperature issues and sanitation problems, while Bawarchi Indian Cuisine scored 66 on the same day due to hygiene issues.

Bawarchi Indian Cuisine at 8201 Ohio Drive, Suite 110, scored 71 for food temperature concerns and a lack of food handler certificates for most staff.

Hello India, located at 8740 Ohio Drive, scored 71. Some of the food wasn’t being held at a safe temperature, and there were no food handler certificates for most of the staff at the facility.

The very popular South-Indian restaurant, Saravanaa Bhavan, located at 8908 Ohio Drive, also scored a shockingly low 74, noting issues with water storage and dish sanitation.

The restaurants mentioned faced cleanliness and sanitation breaches, with some encountering critical violations such as rodent infestations and improper food storage.

People are saying that these Indian restaurant owners prioritize profit over the well-being of their establishments and customers.
