Mumbai's 102-year-old Noor Mohammadi reopens after hygiene crackdown

Mumbai's 102-year-old Noor Mohammadi reopens after hygiene crackdown

There is a very famous, 102-year-old restaurant in Mumbai, India, called Noor Mohammadi Hotel.

People love it because dishes like Nalli Nihari are cooked slowly for many hours and taste special.

This summer, health inspectors came to check the restaurant and found it was not clean enough.

They gave it a score of 45, which is very low, and closed the restaurant for some time.

The owner, Mr. Khalid, and his family worked hard to fix everything the inspectors asked for.

They built a brand-new kitchen with shiny counters, new floors, and clean work areas.

Everyone now wears hairnets to keep hair out of the food, and waste is separated.

When the inspectors came again, the restaurant scored 97 out of 100, which is a huge improvement.

The restaurant got official permission to open again, and customers came back the very same evening.

One customer said the food here has a taste that cannot be found anywhere else.
