Council closes mouse infested restaurant

Greenwich Council used an emergency prohibition order to temporarily close down an Indian restaurant in East Greenwich last month.

An unannounced inspection of Moza in Trafalgar Road uncovered an uncontrolled mouse infestation and general cleanliness in the restaurant’s kitchen was found to be below standard.

The restaurant, which boasts “finest Indian curry”, has since been allowed to re-open subject to additional improvements at the premises and by meeting basic guidelines.

Councillor Maureen O’Mara, Greenwich Council’s Cabinet Member for neighbourhood services, said: “The Council will continue to carry out unannounced visits to food businesses and will take necessary action to safeguard customers’ health. I would encourage all local food businesses to follow appropriate food hygiene standards to avoid having their business closed down or even worse face prosecution.”
