Government authorities in the UAE are working around the clock to ensure that people follow all the important guidelines that have been put in place for their safety. Whether they fall in the transportation or food industry, everybody is expected to follow the rules and regulations. They have carefully been decided upon by the authorities for the general safety of people. And one such authority that always ensures that restaurants and cafes in Abu Dhabi are always on alert and following all the important guidelines is the Abu Dhabi Agriculture And Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA). Recently, the ADAFSA decided to administratively close Amir Al Sham Restaurant and Grills that’s relocated to the Emirate. Here’s all about it.
Amir Al Sham Restaurant And Grills Shut Down In Abu Dhabi
The Amir Al Sham Restaurant and Grills, which is located in Abu Dhabi has now been closed administratively. The reason for this is that the restaurant was found violating Law Number 2 of 2008, which pertains to food in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. As mentioned in its post on social media, the ADAFSA has said that the restaurant followed practices that pose significant risks to the public head. As a result, the restaurant in the emirate has been shut down. In case you’re wondering, it is located in the Khalidiya area of Abu Dhabi and is known for offering Lebanese, Arabian, and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Not The Only Restaurant To Be Closed By ADAFSA
It’s not surprising that a restaurant has been shut down in Abu Dhabi for not following the rules set in place by the ADAFSA. Yes, the authority has shut down several other restaurants, as they follow practices that pose a significant risk to public health. Yes, quite recently Desi Pak Punjab Restaurant in Abu Dhabi had also been shut down for violations of such laws.
There was the presence of insects in areas where food was being prepared, which led to contamination and the possibility of foodborne illnesses being spread. These instances show that ADAFSA is committed towards food safety. Just the previous year, the authority conducted more than 1,03,000 inspection visits to several food establishments. Demonstrating that it is committed to the cause, inspections are an important part of identifying and addressing the issue before it impacts public health.
As it happens, the authorities have urged people to share about such restaurants that follow malpractices on toll-free numbers so that they can look into the same.
