Dubai: A popular Indian restaurant operating clandestinely inside a residential apartment in Salmiya, Kuwait, has been shut down, and its workers deported, following a promotional video that inadvertently revealed its location.

The promotional video quickly went viral on social media, with many Kuwaiti bloggers sharing it and making humorous comments about the owners’ mistake in revealing the restaurant’s secret location.

The fire, caused by gas cylinders in a building’s basement, has led to stricter enforcement of safety and compliance regulations across the country.
