Medium Risk

Across the available record, Kaybee's Indian Flavor has four inspections on file, the first dated 2018. Inspectors last stopped by on May 19, 2020. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. Kaybee's Indian Flavor's record stops at May 19, 2020, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around four violations across recent inspections versus roughly eight violations before.

The pattern that stands out is “management, food employee and conditional employee”, which has been cited 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.
