Penrith charcoal chicken restaurant El Jannah is closed after a fire broke out in an electric motor last week.
Emergency services were called to a building on fire on Saturday, September 16.
Fire and Rescue crews responded to the blaze and evacuated approximately 60 people.
The fire was extinguished and the building was cleared of toxic smoke, which had spread throughout the restaurant.
