What the inspector found

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Bhaji's none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

Bhaji's has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Gloucester City Council on 2 September 2026.

Is Bhaji's safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this takeaway to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Bhaji's last inspected?

Bhaji's was last inspected on 2 September 2026, within the last month. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Gloucester City Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Bhaji's?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

82% of the 1,020 rated food businesses in Gloucester City hold the top rating of 5, and Bhaji's is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Gloucester City Council inspects Bhaji's and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.

Tell me when this changes

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Bhaji's and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
