Score
The health department has logged 11 inspections at Brazzaz, the earliest from 2010. On Nov 26, 2014, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 26, 2014, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to six violations per visit.
Across the inspection history, “refrigeration and metal stem thermometers provided and conspicuous” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded four times.
Brazzaz's latest score of 90 sits above the Chicago average of 81. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
