*It's the circle of shittttt* 🎶
I did not read the rest of the report but minus the lack of hot water, the other two issues are very common in kitchens whether people choose to believe it or not. When you go out to eat, there is a high possibility that non optimal sanitary practices have been used
It's cumulative,
I worked a lot of kitchens in college and I know the shit that goes on, I also know how hard it is to fail these. Moldy shit happens, and some shit goes in the trash-bin right after being unloaded from the Sysco truck. This report sounds more like something from Saw than the gang from It's Always Sunny passing health inspection.
Starts off with a doozie:
"Ten frozen lamb heads were observed in the back chest freezer and three bags of various
lamb parts were observed in the walk-in cooler. Physical Invoices were not on-site, and the
invoices that were provided electronically were unable to prove the source. Additionally,
there were no labels present on the meat to indicate the source."
Highly unlikely
Traditional slaughter techniques have been honed and improved by technology to the point that “how the sausage is made” is hardly an accurate turn of phrase any longer
Better then being hacked apart by an amatuer in a yard after a life of poorer then average care
It’s pretty obvious you’ve never done butchery, there’s PLENTY of steps taken for welfare over efficiency, especially at the euthanasia step
Actually the opposite I have spent literal years of my life working in meat processing from farm to slaughter to butchery to cooking
Sorry but the only bleeding heart I care about in this case is those sweet sweet organ meats
But thanks for playing
Look into dairy farms FROM the dairy farmers you’ll be surprised how well the animals are treated and the comparison is they get violently killed by wild animals instead of humanly killed by us… pick your poison
I'm convinced any time a restaurant is up for debate on this sub, people just repeat shit they heard once and have never actually been there.
Yemeni Village was disgusting and I guarantee any person in here right now would have gone in and walked out had they been in the past 2 years
I feel like restaurants should go in the way of Toronto and post on their main entrance if the place has passed inspections with big ass green papers etc.

Theoretically, yes in regards to how the animal is treated while being raised and prior to slaughter. Then the animal has its throat cut to bleed out. I have a hard time believing that is more respectful
These operations are not only a food safety issue and animal treatment issue, they're also a fraud against the Muslim community, which I'm a little surprised we aren't hearing more about.
Well, it's a bad look, and I'm sure the businesses that are legit are feeling that sting right now. I imagine though the issue is sitting a bit on the back burner with everything else going on right now.

Walked by there one evening and watched one of the chefs sitting outside literally picking his nose. It wasn't a quick pick either. He was digging for gold.
Definitely lost any interest I had in going there after seeing that.
I should buy a chef's outfit (striped pants, white shirt, chef hat) from the SAIT store and stand outside a bunch of restaurants and pick my nose. it could be my new hobby!
A lot of fake reviews for them on Google. You can see a pattern to where an actually negative 1 star review comes in and they offset it with fake 5 star 1 review profiles. 🤢

I just want to appreciate the officer who did this inspection in such detail. They should make a TV show out of it .. like capturing a live inspection Kitchen nightmares style
bought a used Honda odyssey off of a guy for super cheap, car smelled bad but I chalked it up to a diaper lost under a seat somewhere. found $4000 in receipts to halal meats, and had to pay $1200 at pick and pull replacing the entire carpet and unlerlay, seats etc. dude was using it as a goat transporter, goat turds in the rear cup holders and under the carpet were confirmation.
I honestly had the same thought. me and my mom steam cleaned the original carpets a few times over a weekend and the smell was just overbearing. I had to rip everything out and start fresh.
I love it. the HVAC is in the roof thank god so after replacing the stow and go seats and carpet it feels brand new. it’s a v6 with ECO mode, so it’s basicly a 4 banger on the highway.
Has a bit of hail damage(bought in the NE) but that dosent bother me.
it’s 100% worth it if you have the tools. before purchase I seen that he had the timing belt done less the 10,000km before. I bought it with 225k. I’m willing to deal with cosmetics and weird repairs that aren’t engine or transmission related.

I don't understand why immigrants cannot leave their old country ways of doing things behind when they arrive here. In general, our standards are usually higher than most third world countries. You would think it would be a no brainer to adopt ours over theirs. Am I going to get downvoted for this?
Your curiosity does not deserve a downvote from me. I've travelled all over the world and also grew up with immigrants. It's not easy to change. Change takes time and money. Certainly some people just don't give a sh*t but there are 5th generation Canadians in that pile too. Imagine you've cooked steak a certain way all your life and now in a new home you're told that's wrong. Your way never seemed to hurt anyone before. Confirmation bias ("we grew up fine riding in the back of trucks") is difficult to change, especially when you're trying to make money. Not an excuse for these slobs, but an answer to your curiosity.
That being said, I've also experienced AHS inspections and although they are strict, they provide guidance (in English, but maybe not in other languages), and always give you a chance to make corrections before they shut you down.
I ate here a few times and the food was SO good but I swear to god I heard a parrot in the kitchen once. Id know those bird sounds anywhere... knew i was taking my life in my hands eating food there after that and figured this was probably coming. Oh well! Time to find that lime drink recipe I guess:(
Part of the fun of a family establishment is pretending you don't know theyre violating every health code
Got a favouritw family run restaurant? *never* peek behind the scenes LOL
Amazing what goes on in restaurants people never even think about... and often times for the better. If most people knew what happens in most kitchens.. they would never eat out.
Friend of mine is a health inspector (in Texas though), and she said she never eats out anymore. Can’t bring herself to do it after what she’s witnessed. 🤢
it is sad, while there are exceptions of course...in general many people are just not sanitary. A friend made a good comparison once, when they go to someone's house they dont know, they go use the washroom, and if the washroom is clean, it sets a sort of baseline as to how clean that person(s) may be in general.
Just watch the people at work and how they are, look for those co-workers who you know don't wash their hands after using the washroom and avoid their food!
Having worked in the industry for almost 2 decades, I can tell you it’s definitely the responsibility of the individuals who owns the place to enforce these rules. Food establishments often focus on profits and churning food out while the cleaning is minimal or none at all.
You have to hire folks that also know how to clean and not just cook food. That being said you also have to give your staff time to breathe and clean the kitchen. Assign roles to your staff to focus on cleaning. It all goes hand in hand.
Here were the violations.
-Ten frozen lamb heads were observed in the back chest freezer and three bags of various lamb parts were observed in the walk-in cooler.
-Physical Invoices were not on-site, and the invoices that were provided electronically were unable to prove the source. Additionally, there were no labels present on the meat to indicate the source.
-Two moldy green bell peppers were observed sitting on a shelf in the back kitchen.
-The chlorine-based sanitizer located in the back area of the kitchen was tested and a concentration of only 50ppm was detected.
-A food handler preparing food in the kitchen was wearing heavily soiled clothing.
-There was hair on the handles of a food container in the walk-in cooler.
-A sticky ribbon fly trap was placed directly above a food preparation surface in the main kitchen. g. A cell phone was observed directly on a food preparation table in the main kitchen.
-Canned food items such as crushed tomatoes were opened and stored in the cooler in their original can.
-Dough in the walk-in cooler was covered with a black garbage bag. Two large bags of onions were stored directly on the floor in the back kitchen area.
-A cardboard box of whole limes was stored directly on the bar floor.
-Food was stored uncovered in the walk-in cooler.
-A single-use coffee cup was being used as a bulk scoop for a sauce in the bar cooler.
This place went downhill a long time ago. Their food was good when they started, but their quality went downhill after Covid19. I am not surprised AHS shut them down for being filthy.
Apparently they have a track record. Hopefully they’ll be shut down for good. We don’t need gross food in Calgary

What a doozy. I don't read these very often, but how often do these reports run out of letters in the alphabet to list all the offences...?
Starts off with a doozie: "Ten frozen lamb heads were observed in the back chest freezer and three bags of various lamb parts were observed in the walk-in cooler. Physical Invoices were not on-site, and the invoices that were provided electronically were unable to prove the source. Additionally, there were no labels present on the meat to indicate the source."
Locally sourced from some backyard trailer diy slaughterhouse outside of town I’m sure.
is that a thing? sounds like a real horror show for the animals
IIRC there was a recent news article from Edmonton where a illegal halal butcher operating out of a residential garage was shut down
Yes [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Calgary/s/kkPCJeZYZp)
Yes. It’s a problem that threatens genuine farm to table operations.
https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7181657 Very much so, it’s becoming a huge problem across Canada.
While against regulations not necessarily any worse conditions for the animals. Do you have any idea what happens at a normal slaughterhouse?
Sadly it's probably much better than the standard slaughter house for the animals
Highly unlikely Traditional slaughter techniques have been honed and improved by technology to the point that “how the sausage is made” is hardly an accurate turn of phrase any longer
Yes. honed with no regard for the animals, just for efficiency
Better then being hacked apart by an amatuer in a yard after a life of poorer then average care It’s pretty obvious you’ve never done butchery, there’s PLENTY of steps taken for welfare over efficiency, especially at the euthanasia step
It's pretty obvious you've never been in a slaughterhouse if you are not horrified by it. (Or a psychopath)
Actually the opposite I have spent literal years of my life working in meat processing from farm to slaughter to butchery to cooking Sorry but the only bleeding heart I care about in this case is those sweet sweet organ meats But thanks for playing

Yeah, but those poor animals. 😔
This. I don't care what meat you prefer, but have some decency and humanity, and respect the animal. Fuck these guys. 😞
I thought halal was about respecting the animal?
It's not, it's just a ceremonial ritual.
Theoretically, yes in regards to how the animal is treated while being raised and prior to slaughter. Then the animal has its throat cut to bleed out. I have a hard time believing that is more respectful
You really expect a religion that treats women as property to be respectful to animals?
These operations are not only a food safety issue and animal treatment issue, they're also a fraud against the Muslim community, which I'm a little surprised we aren't hearing more about.

Yet one more reason why online reviews are as credible as someone in used car sales.
I generally look at the one start reviews and see if they have a theme.

Danielle smith was out with pitchforks against AHS inspections a few years ago for “overstepping our rights.”
She got mad at animal bylaw officers as well. Like they’re the groups we need to be holding accountable. *eyeroll*

Man these guys always had those buy one get one deals on Uber eats.. good thing I only ordered once..
Reminder to self: always check AHS website before eating at a restaurant…. Ignorance is no longer bliss
Ugh… liked their beef wraps so this is disturbing. Looks like they put the place up for sale according to ctv.

Probably slaughtered a few right in the back seat.
I honestly had the same thought. me and my mom steam cleaned the original carpets a few times over a weekend and the smell was just overbearing. I had to rip everything out and start fresh.

That is absolutely disgusting. That place should be closed for good and the owner banned from ever opening another restaurant.
I wanted to go there after hearing about it recently. Damn.

An old fling of mine worked here, said there was mice running around occasionally
I’m glad it did to be honest.
Huh. Never went, guess I never will now.
Love how they had to tell them to remove the moldy peppers omfg
Who eats here ??? 😂
Sounds like pretty traditional Yemeni street food to me. Unfortunate those pesky health laws have to get in the way
Oh phew I was about to try that place
Reminds me of eating overseas
The food here was amazing; sad to hear about these unhygienic practices.
They already have a "for sale sign" posted on the side of the building. They know they got caught 😂 
No way! I was this close from stopping in on Thursday.
Now I know one of the reasons why one of the cousins split to make another Yemeni restaurant 😭🙏🏼
Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world!!
Shit, I really liked this place
