AN Indian restaurant in Cardigan has been closed following a rodent infestation.

The Gulshan Restaurant, Chancery Lane, was issued with a hygiene emergency prohibition order on Monday by Aberystwyth magistrates after an application by Ceredigion County Council environmental health department.

The restaurant will remain closed until health officials are satisfied the problem has been sorted out.

The prohibition order, posted in the window of the restaurant, states there is an ‘inherent risk to food safety’.
