00:01Let's take a look at the Birmingham businesses whose food and hygiene failed to meet expected standards
00:07and the court action taken against them in October 2026.
00:12At Mohammed Ami Sweets & Restaurant on Stratford Road, inspectors found a mouse infestation on the 25th February 2025,
00:22then cockroaches during another visit on the 7th August.
00:25Director Fakar Zaman admitted five charges for the company and five against himself.
00:32In mitigation, he said problems including the bin strikes had contributed.
00:36His company was fined £18,000 and Zaman £1,399.
00:42With surcharges and prosecution costs, the combined court bill came to more than £30,000.
00:50At Sun Yi Restaurant in Unit 5 of Tin Food Hall on Mass House Lane, the failings were about cleanliness.
00:57The court heard about dirty floors, shelving, walls and cooking equipment, along with a fridge and microwave.
01:04The failures also covered containers, pipework, grease filters, fixtures and a hot water heater.
01:11Director Chung Yuan Yue said he was deeply distraught as he admitted six hygiene failures on the 8th October.
01:20Magistrates fined the company £3,500 with a surcharge and costs added.
01:26At Hot and Spicy on Coventry Road, mice infestations were found in September and December 2025.
01:34Director Sulficar Khan admitted six charges on the 22nd of October.
01:40Magistrates heard that pest control measures had been in place but had knocked out with the problem effectively.
01:47De Kahn said binge strikes had affected the business.
01:50He was fined £691 with further payments taking the bill above £4,000.
01:57Shinwari Darbar, a former restaurant on Stratford Road, was another case involving repeat problems.
02:04Inspectors found rodent droppings and cockroaches on the 10th of June 2025.
02:09Then another cockroach infestation three months later.
02:12Former director Zayat Gondal said he had lost everything trying to improve the restaurant before deciding to close it and
02:20leave the country.
02:21He was fined £1,200 with a £480 surcharge and £933 in prosecution costs.
02:29On Alum Rock Road, separate court hearings on the 9th October concerned Charcoal Grill and Prime Shop.
02:36An inspection at Charcoal Grill on the 5th October found cockroaches and hygiene failures.
02:42Two days later, evidence of mice and cockroaches were discovered at Prime Shop.
02:48Court orders meant both had to remain closed until the problems were fixed.
02:52And all the cases discussed in this report were heard at Birmingham Magistrates Court.
