Dead Rat Allegedly Found in Dosa at Borivali Restaurant
A customer says a dead rat was found inside a dosa at a restaurant in Borivali.
The customer’s brother had already eaten some of the dosa.
He reportedly became sick and vomited after seeing the rat.
The family reported the incident to the police.
They also asked food-safety officials to investigate.
This happened while Maharashtra was checking restaurants more carefully.
Officials have taken action against several other eateries for hygiene problems.
Those problems included pests, dirty areas, unsafe storage, and incorrect food temperatures.
The claim about the dosa still needs to be investigated.
A customer allegedly found a small dead rat inside a Mysore Masala Dosa at Radhakrishna Hotel near Borivali West station.
The complainant’s brother had eaten several bites before discovering the rat and reportedly vomited immediately afterward.
The complainant reported the incident to Borivali Police Station and requested an urgent Food and Drug Administration investigation.
The complaint emerged during Maharashtra’s wider food-safety crackdown against restaurants and other food establishments.
Recent inspections at other eateries reportedly found pests, poor sanitation, unsafe storage, and improper food-temperature controls.
