Ohhh God, What was that, I am not ready to beleive it, Al Ibrahimi Restaurant kitchen can not be like this. I have personally visited that place more than 100 times. I have been supplying food products to this restaurant. In my personal opinion this is the best kitchen and restaurant in entire UAE. I think this is just propanganda against such a place. The management of Ibrahimi is professional and they maitaine everything at very high standards. Who ever did this, must be enemy of Ibrahimi Restaurant. I have visited after this news also, but, I didnt find anything the way its been propsagate in media. Shaan

I am very surprised at the posted comment by Shaan. Does he mean to say that he never saw any pests , cockroaches & insects during his deliveries to this restaurant but when the Abu Dhabi Food Inspectors visited the Al Ibrahimi Restaurant, they carried the roaches & rodents with them to plant them in the restaurant kitchen because they wanted to sabotage the eatery ? Come on Shaan, grow up ! From your comments, it is quite apparent who is creating the propaganda !!! ...FOODIE.

Believe it not, it happened. Ibrahimi really has a filthy kitchen and you would never ever eat it from here if saw those pictures. I congratulate health inspectors for their instant action. I ve seen those pictures and, I m sure, I wouldnt see such pictures in my life time.

Hey hey hey, I didnt say that I never saw any pest or sects, but, they way it been it been highlighted in news papers and, internet, and other media channels, the situation was not bad like that, cocroach can be there, even at our homes some time walk in from out side even it can be at home also, but, I know this place for several years, I have been eating at this restaurant and been supplying food items to them, theyare not that bad. I also dont want to protect them for nothing, if inspectors found something they should be strict, but, still I am 100% sure they way news been spread all over the media, its not correct, I am eye witness too.
