Health officials in Hawaii have authorized the reopening of Himalayan Kitchen LLC in Kaimuki. The restaurant, which offers Indian and Nepali cuisine, received a green placard, marking its return to operation after a temporary closure.
The eatery was initially shut down last week following a routine inspection that uncovered critical food safety violations. This led to the issuance of a red placard, temporarily suspending its operations. However, a recent follow-up inspection by the Department of Health's Food Safety Branch confirmed that the necessary corrections have been made.
Himalayan Kitchen has been a fixture in the Kaimuki neighborhood for over 15 years. Its reopening signifies a return to normalcy for the establishment and its patrons, following the successful resolution of the health code concerns.
