The many colors of mold; Dirty Dining: Royal Persis in Vegas

Royal Persis on East Flamingo was recently shut down with 61 demerits; anything over 40 is immediate closure.

KTNV reports the health inspector found "expired and adulterated" food and cautioned the restaurant to "only sell wholesome food to the public."

The mold at Royal Persis came in many colors. There was heavy black mold in and around the ice machine chute and white mold growing on dates. And we all know to beware of yellow snow… How about brown ice? The last place you’d want that moldy stuff is in your beverage cup.

And one of the last places you’d want to find uncovered fish is underneath leaky, dripping equipment, which is right where inspectors found it.

If you ate at Royal Persis on July 6, you likely got a taste of someone else’s meal because inspectors found dried, built-up food debris on kitchenware stored as clean against dirty walls.

Inspectors also found a garbage can blocking the handsink, but even if the path was clear, it wouldn’t have done much good because there was no soap or paper towels.

The Royal Persis won’t be re-inspected, because shortly after the health inspection, the owner called the Health District and said she planned to close the restaurant down permanently.

The owner tells Action News inspectors came by Royal Persis while the restaurant was in the process of closing down and that’s why things there weren’t up to par.
