Jul 15, 2024 — Complaint inspection

Fail

Triggered by a public complaint about this restaurant.

30 mouse droppings found in storage and prayer room; previous pest-entry violations from May 2023 still not fixed.

Standout Inspection

We flagged this inspection for serious public health concerns.

Key Findings

  • Inspectors found 30 mouse droppings under shelves and along walls in dry storage and prayer room areas.
  • Critical violations from May 2023 remain uncorrected: gaps at bottom of rear exit door and both front doors still allow pest entry, and vent cover above mop sink remains dusty.
  • Prepacked cheese and yogurt in cooler lack required manufacturer/packer address information on labels.
  • Boxes of cookies stored directly on floor in storage areas instead of elevated at least 6 inches; mop stored wet in bucket instead of allowed to dry between uses.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
