FDA Raids Popular Colaba Eatery Bademiya, Found Rats & Coackroaches in kitchen

In a recent development, the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) conducted a surprise raid at the renowned Bademiya, a popular eatery located in South Mumbai. The inspection was prompted by concerns over unhygienic food handling practices at the establishment. Shockingly, the FDA's inspection revealed the presence of rats and cockroaches within the restaurant's kitchen.

As a result of the FDA's findings, all outlets operated by Bademiya have been issued stop work notices. Furthermore, it was discovered that the 76-year-old eatery lacked the necessary license from the Food Safety & Standards Authority of India to operate legally.

Bademiya, nestled in Colaba behind the Taj Mahal hotel, has gained fame for its delectable kebabs and its late-night hours, which attract tourists from around the globe.

An FDA official stated, "A surprise raid was conducted on Wednesday evening at Bademiya outlets, revealing that all of its outlets were operating without the required licenses. We will be issuing stop work notices, and further actions will be taken. Meanwhile, inspections are still ongoing."

Bademiya holds a legendary status as a street food destination renowned for its mouthwatering kebabs and grilled specialties. Having been established in the late 1940s, this unassuming eatery has amassed a devoted following over the decades. It is an open-air, no-frills establishment where patrons gather to savor delicious offerings such as chicken tikka, seekh kebabs, and rolls, all prepared on open grills. The tantalizing aromas and flavorful spices have consistently drawn both locals and tourists to indulge in its culinary delights.
