Hold onto your forks, folks! Abu Dhabi’s dining scene has recently seen a hefty shake-up. The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) has clamped down on CHABRA Restaurant in ICAD Residential City, Mussafah. Why? Because CHABRA managed to turn a plateful of food into a public health risk. Yes, you read that right.
ADAFSA Shuts Down CHABRA Restaurant
The decision to close CHABRA wasn’t made lightly. According to ADAFSA, this establishment broke several rules in Law No. (2) of 2008, which governs food safety in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. CHABRA’s food practices weren’t up to snuff, prompting a swift administrative closure. If you plan to pop by for a bite, you might need to rethink your dinner plans, as this restaurant is off the menu for now.
But the news doesn’t stop at CHABRA. The same day, Abu Dhabi’s food watchdog served up a second closure. Amir Al Sham Restaurant and Grills, located in the Khalidiya area, also found itself in regulatory trouble. The reasons? Similar issues of failing to meet food safety standards are expected in the capital.
What This Means for Diners
For the uninitiated, these closures aren’t just about disappointing a few dinner dates. They’re a stark reminder of how seriously Abu Dhabi takes food safety. ADAFSA has called on residents to report any food safety concerns by dialling 800-555. This hotline aims to keep the community’s dining experience safe and sound.
So, what does this mean for the average diner? If you’re enjoying a meal out, remember that cleanliness and food safety aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re non-negotiables. The capital’s food regulators are on high alert, ensuring that every forkful you take is safe. If you see or taste something amiss, don’t hesitate to make a call. It’s a small step that helps keep the city’s dining scene delicious and, more importantly, safe.
