Restaurant Loses Liquor License for Serving a Minor
8 Apr
Summary
- Taaz Indian Restaurant's license suspended for 10 days starting April 8.
- A minor agent was served a beer without ID in November 2025.
- A Caribbean food shop was fined $11,000 for alcohol leaving premises.
An Indian restaurant in Kelowna, British Columbia, has had its alcohol license suspended for 10 days. Taaz Indian Restaurant's license will be inactive starting April 8, 2026, following a violation of liquor laws. The suspension stems from an incident in November 2025 when a "minor agent" was served a beer without proper identification.
The restaurant operators admitted to breaking provincial liquor rules, leading to the license suspension. This enforcement action is part of a broader crackdown on establishments disregarding regulations. In a separate case within the same week, a Caribbean food supply shop was fined $11,000 for allowing alcohol to be taken outside its designated service areas.
Inspectors observed customers with alcoholic beverages outside The House of the Caribbean Food Supply Shop in October 2025. The business had previously violated the same rule multiple times over the past two years. Authorities noted the establishment's lack of corrective action and engagement with the enforcement process.
