The owner of an Indian restaurant which has been given a zero-star rating by council inspectors said the venue "deserves at least a four."
Sounds more like it deserves a closure order! What's the point of a rating like this if you can still carry on serving up platefuls of Delhi belly..?
Spice City in Liverpool city centre has been popular with generations of diners, with the Stanley Street restaurant promising on its website to "tantalise your taste buds in both our classic dishes and our exclusive Spice City Specials."
Council inspectors, though, were less than impressed when they visited last month. They slapped the venue with the lowest possible rating, with the results published on the Food Standards Authority website reflecting the need for "major" and "urgent" improvements in a number of areas.In the most recent inspection, on March 6, inspectors raised concerns over hygienic food handling, the cleanliness and condition of the facilities and building and management of food safety.
Yikes!
When contacted by the ECHO for a response, boss Niz Islam said he did not accept the rating was fair. He said: "I've been here for 18 years. I feel like I'm being unfairly marked. Last time they made me pay 900 quid just to replace a broken fridge."
Why did you have a broken fridge? You should have had a working one.
Speaking to the ECHO in 2019, Mr Islam said: "We find the older generation still love a good, proper curry. We have a lot of loyal regulars who say no matter what, they will always favour a traditional Indian curry."
With traditional Indian food poisoning?

To be fair, if the customers love the food and are not actually getting food poisoning, the issue may be more a clerical one. I know from experience that at lot of places are heavily marked down for paperwork issues and not strictly following the hundres of regulations in place. Bad record keeping doesn't necessarily mean a danger to the public
A good old-fashioned curry from a restaurant like this is excellent it you have a constipation problem. I suggest that the whole of Parliament goes Scouse and has one, because currently they are full of shit ...
"the issue may be more a clerical one. I know from experience that at lot of places are heavily marked down for paperwork issues.."
