Aura of India, a restaurant at 210 Guelph St. in Halton Hills, had a critical food-safety problem at a routine inspection on Monday, Nov. 9, and fixed it before the inspector left. The visit was by Halton Region Public Health, the regional health department that checks restaurants and other places that serve food.
The problem fell under the rules on where food comes from and how it is protected from contamination. Inspectors call an item critical when it poses a more direct risk of making people sick. Aura of India put it right during the visit.
Yoyo Sushi and Tandoori Tikka Lounge, two other Halton Hills restaurants, also had a critical item at inspections in early November, and each corrected it on the spot.
| Restaurant | Inspection | Critical item | Other items |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yoyo Sushi, 348 Guelph St. | Nov. 4, routine | Food source and protection from contamination (fixed during visit) | Pest control (fixed during visit) |
| Tandoori Tikka Lounge | Nov. 5, routine | Safe cooking, cooling and storage temperatures (fixed during visit) | Equipment and utensil cleaning; premises cleanliness (follow-up by Nov. 6) |
| Aura of India, 210 Guelph St. | Nov. 9, routine | Food source and protection from contamination (fixed during visit) | None |
Yoyo Sushi, also on Guelph Street, had the same food-protection item as Aura of India when inspectors came by on Wednesday, Nov. 4, plus a pest control item. The restaurant fixed both while the inspector was there.
Tandoori Tikka Lounge was the only one of the three left with work after its visit. Its critical item on Thursday, Nov. 5, about cooking, cooling and storing food at safe temperatures, was corrected on the spot. But it failed two non-critical items, the lower-risk category: cleaning and sanitizing equipment and utensils, and keeping the premises clean. Inspectors set a follow-up deadline of Friday, Nov. 6.
Public health inspectors visit every food premises at least once a year, and more often depending on whether it is rated high, moderate or low risk.
Diners can look up any restaurant on Halton Region's real-time disclosure portal, where results go up as soon as an inspection is finished. Food safety inspections recorded before March 16, 2026 are on the region's older Dinewise system.
