Kismat on Gateway Street given one-out-of-five hygiene rating

Kismat, a restaurant and takeaway on Leicester’s Gateway Street, received a one-out-of-five food hygiene rating after a city council inspection on 23 September, reports Leicester Mercury. The rating means major improvement was necessary.

Inspectors found mouldy potatoes and flies at the premises, along with dirty areas and equipment. The council warned that it could take enforcement action if the problems were not fixed within a specified period.

Customers can request the inspection report by email from the local authority that carried out the check. The authority may refuse to provide a copy, but must explain why.
