Low Risk

The health department has logged 15 inspections at Nicole's Jamaican Plain, the earliest from 2022. Nicole's Jamaican Plain was last inspected on Feb 2, 2026. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly 15 violations earlier in the record.

Looking across the full record, “consumption of animal foods that are raw undercooked” is the recurring theme, flagged seven times.

The city-wide average sits at 83, which Nicole's Jamaican Plain's 78 doesn't quite reach. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
