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 Bombay Rasoi the inspector recorded concerns over how food is handled and the condition of the premises. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

What the business says

&lt;p&gt; We agree with the inspection results but have since carried out the following improvements;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The premises has been thoroughly cleaned and procedures are in place to ensure that cleanliness is being maintained.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The premises has been refurbished.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; A new management system has been implemented.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Staff have been re-trained.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; We have carried out remedial work recommended by the EHO and are awaiting a reinspection.&amp;nbsp; We expect a new rating accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;

Bombay Rasoi has a food hygiene rating of 2 out of 5 (some improvement necessary), given by Barnsley Council on 19 March 2026.

Is Bombay Rasoi safe to eat at?

A 2 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The restaurant is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.

When was Bombay Rasoi last inspected?

Bombay Rasoi was last inspected on 19 March 2026, 3 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Barnsley Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Bombay Rasoi?

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

How does Bombay Rasoi compare to other places in Barnsley?

83% of the 1,612 rated food businesses in Barnsley hold the top rating of 5, while Bombay Rasoi holds a 2. 17 places in the area share that rating.

Has Bombay Rasoi responded to its rating?

Yes. Businesses have a right to reply, published alongside the rating. Bombay Rasoi said: “&lt;p&gt; We agree with the inspection results but have since carried out the following improvements;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The premises has been thoroughly cleaned and procedures are in place to ensure that cleanliness is being maintained.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The premises has been refurbished.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; A new management system has been implemented.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Staff have been re-trained.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; We have carried out remedial work recommended by the EHO and are awaiting a reinspection.&amp;nbsp; We expect a new rating accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;”

Who decides the rating?

Barnsley Council inspects Bombay Rasoi 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.
