Score
Ethiopian Diamond II Restaurant appears in inspection records 13 times, starting in 2011. The most recent report on file is from Mar 22, 2019. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about. Ethiopian Diamond II Restaurant's record stops at Mar 22, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around 14 violations per visit lately, up from roughly five violations before.
Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the recurring theme, flagged nine times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
