Haat Bazaar Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

In January 2025, they received 80 health code violations. 80. And this was after they had already been shut down once by the health department for unsanitary conditions. They should know better by now but still choose to not train their employees in cleanliness. They were also found to have mice and pests. Bengalis are embarrassing in how little they care about cleanliness and I'm Bengali. I get stomach issues everytime I eat at a Bengali place. Don't feed your family here, you'll get food poisoning. These are a few violations from the official NYC site:

Please avoid this place at all cost. Horrible customer service. My 2 besties and I had dinner there on the eve of Eid. It took them 30 mins to take our order and another 20 min to serve us food. We were fasting the whole day and were starving so we ordered a few items. The server who served us was very nice and we were happy with the service/food and left a generous tip at the end. Later the same day a few hours later, my younger sister who joined us later said she was starving as she skipped both her lunch and dinner. So we took her to this same restaurant. The server who previously served us saw us at the entrance so we thought he’d come and take my sister’s order. We sat there for 20 min, no server came. Then we finally asked another server that no one came to take our order. He said didn’t you guys already eat? We said it’s not for us but for my younger sister, but the man pointed to my bestie and he’s like no this sister ate before so we didn’t think you’d order food again!! We were so horrified and felt so disrespected, we just got up and left. My sister didn’t get to eat anything, poor girl was so embarrassed. A note to the restaurant: it’s our money and our stomachs, if we wanna eat 10x, that’s none of your business. Your only job is to serve food, treat your customers right and make money. Unfortunately, we won’t be going there ever again. My poor bestie almost started crying. I would’ve given 0 stars...
