Railway Tandoori, Newport, receives five-star rating
Railway Tandoori, located on Mill Street in Newport, was inspected on April 2, 2025, and deemed to be of a high standard by a food safety officer from Newport Council, after had recently been confirmed as being under new management.
The takeaway, which serves Indian cuisine, was rated "good" across all areas inspected, including hygienic food handling, cleanliness, and the condition of the facilities and building, and the management of food safety.
This is a significant improvement from the inspection in March 2024, when the takeaway received a score of one out of five.
The food safety officer found the hygienic handling of food, which includes preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling, and storage, to be of a good standard.
The cleanliness and condition of the facilities and building, including the layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities, and pest control, were also found to be in good condition.
Finally, the management of food safety, which refers to the system of checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat, was considered to be good.
This includes evidence that staff know about food safety and the food safety officer's confidence that standards will be maintained in future.
The Food Hygiene Rating Act 2013, which became law in Wales on March 4, 2013, requires all businesses selling food in Wales to display hygiene ratings in a prominent place and to provide the information verbally if requested over the phone.
Inspections are carried out by local authority officers, and ratings are updated on the FSA website.
Businesses have the right to appeal against ratings.
Each inspection is carried out under three categories: hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and the management of food safety.
