London’s first fine dining Armenian restaurant, which was fined £60,000 following a Home Office raid, has closed down.Owners of the exclusive Lusin were handed the penalty after four illegal workers were found during a surprise enforcement visit.It is understood the people were Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan nationals who were believed to have overstayed or be in breach of their visa conditions.The Home Office said its officers carried out an “intelligence-led visit” to the premises, a stone’s throw from Green Park and the Ritz Hotel, in September 2023.
