Hyderabad: Telangana Food Safety Department raided popular mandi restaurants in Hyderabad on Friday. The team inspected restaurants in Khairatabad and Banjara Hills, including Mandi 36 Arabian Kitchen.
In the raid, restaurants found missing essential records, such as pest control reports, water analysis, and employee health documents. The restaurants also lacked FoSTaC certificates for food safety training.
Some restaurants had refrigerators in poor condition, with broken shelves. Water droplets were falling onto uncovered food, risking contamination. Raw and cooked foods were stored together.
These raids show that Hyderabad’s restaurants must follow food safety regulations for public health.
