The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. Hyderabad Kabab Corner's record stops at May 31, 2017, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to nine violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” is the recurring theme, flagged four times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
