“Several measures have been taken against this establishment due to the poor level of hygiene in food handling and storage areas,” it said.
The eatery failed to keep equipment and refrigerators clean, it added. Even ceilings and floors in the preparation area are not in good condition.
Adafsa said the closure order will remain in place until the hygiene issues are addressed.
Just a week ago, a restaurant was also shut over food safety violations. Insects were spotted in its kitchen, among other issues.
