A restaurant in Abu Dhabi is facing the fire for violating food safety laws. The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) has issued a decision to administratively close Al Rabia restaurant, located in Gayathi, Al Dhafra region.
The restaurant violated Law No. (2) of 2008 on food safety in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and its associated regulations, the ADAFSA said on Friday. The authority has found that the establishment's practices pose a serious risk to public health, they said in a post on X.
Last month, authorities in the emirate decided to administratively close three eateries for violation of the same law. Two of the closed establishments were in Abu Dhabi and the third one is located in Al Ain. The closed eateries were Cettinadu Multi Cuisine Restaurant, Nasayem Alnil Pastries And Sweets and Diamond City Supermarket.
