Olympia Coffee House in Mumbai is shut following a food safety crackdown by Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which revokes/suspends the outlet’s food licence. Multiple reports say an FDA inspection finds serious hygiene problems, including pest-related issues and improper handling or storage of waste found in food storage areas.
According to outlets, the FDA action follows intensified inspections under the “Safe Food Safe Maharashtra” campaign. Mint reports that the crackdown is triggered by a consumer complaint and cites the FDA’s involvement under the leadership of Tukaram Mundhe. Times of India notes the café is widely known for having hosted high-profile visitors, including Hollywood actors, but presents the current development as focused on hygiene compliance.
Both sources agree the establishment must correct the identified violations to resolve the regulatory action and be considered for reopening. No source provides details on penalties beyond the licence suspension/revocation or the timeline for remediation.
