Low Risk

Public records currently show only two inspections for Ghareeb Nawaz Restaurant. On Mar 8, 2010, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Ghareeb Nawaz Restaurant's record stops at Mar 8, 2010, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around eight violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.

Across the inspection history, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
