Now our worst fears have been confirmed as three central London restaurants were closed on the spot after inspectors found all kind of nasties in the kitchen. (Think cockroach eggs, maggots, decomposing mice - we'll spare you the details.)

According to the Evening Standard, the offending restaurants Sitaaray and Tamarai in Covent Garden and Chutneys on Drummond Street were all forced to close and pay a fine before they can reopen. Would you eat there again? Weigh in below.
