High Risk

Indo-Pak Grill has been inspected three times since 2017. The most recent visit was on Aug 8, 2018. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well. The file hasn't been updated since Aug 8, 2018, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 14 violations each, up from closer to two violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “adequate ventilation & lighting” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Indo-Pak Grill trails the local norm. Diners may want to weigh the inspection history when deciding to visit.
