A Crows Nest restaurant serving Indian and Pakistani cuisine has been fined $85,000 – one of the biggest penalties against food outlets in recent years – after being found guilty of 15 food safety breaches by a local court.

Bundu Khan was listed today on the NSW Food Authority’s public register of prosecutions, which names and shames restaurants that have committed some of the worst offences.

In May last year, North Sydney Council food safety inspectors discovered a cockroach population in the restaurant’s unsanitary kitchen areas. They found staff had no access to hot water and were washing equipment in only cold water.
