Good. Looks like those fuckers weren't paying their employees to the point it got them shut down.

Weren't they supposed to open an Indian restaurant on Water St too?

Ohh, so sorry for the workers. At least the food was good.

They didn't have workers compensation insurance, that's why they were shut down. It's possible they do have it, but didn't submit the form, but for MA to shut them down over it means this has been going on for a long time.

Equally bad IMO.

I heard the food was good, but the food preparation was questionable. I do know first hand that their covid procedures with employees were illegal by not reporting cases. The place always just gave me bad vibes and I love Indian food.

Too bad. Their curry dishes are really good. Hopefully they can get their shit in order and reopen.

Fantastic Pizza on Main St in Worcester is run by some Indian folk, the food is real good, they even have some indian cuisine pizzas.

The Shack on Park Ave is also surprisingly pretty great, went there on a recommendation from an old boss. The owner is real friendly, he came out for a cigarette while I was eating and asked how the food was, chatted for a bit.

They most likely had workers comp insurance as you need to show a certificate to the city or town you operate in, in order to receive and maintain your common victualler license. Grafton is not the kind of town that will let you fuck around in this either.
The department of industrial accidents will also do stings and issue stop work orders ( which means in reality daily fine to stay open until you get coverage). They have guys that spend the entire day finding places that have their coverage lapsed or don't have it. They'll bust in the door with badges out like they're cops. You pay $250 for the day, call an insurance company and get a certificate emailed to you and you're good.
Although it's possible they didn't have coverage at all, I would bet this had to do with paying employees off the books, probably with one of them getting hurt and filling a claim. With no insurance paid and no wages to show, you've got a problem.

Just to add, the workers comp premium for kitchen employees is stupidly low, like less than 1% of wages paid. They may have cheaped out on delivery drivers or classified employees incorrectly, since the rates for that are like 7% if memory serves and are supposed to be paid on wages and tips.

The food here was good, the best indian food ever. However, I was there one day Ricky the guy who owns the place got into a domestic dispute with his wife Puja. This interaction became so heated that someone called the police. Someone I was with who I knew as a regular customer made a report to the police saying they saw Ricky hit Puja. I can not confirm this I did not see this happen. I used to eat here a few times a week. It was a good spot to hang out, I was there from the beginning when it opened. However I choose not to go there and support them anymore. I wish the family best, and I hope they sort out whatever problems they have. I don't even want the business to close, I want them whole heartedly to succeed for the sake of their children. One day, I'll take a trip back in there and see what's up, at the end of the day I miss all of them individually. I know deep down they are just good people going through a tough time at that point in there lives. Take this for what it is.
