Nepal House
Last inspected: Jan 29, 2026

Score
Inspectors have visited Nepal House 25 times, with records going back to 2013. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 29, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around three violations to closer to five violations.
The pattern that stands out is “variance obtained for specialized processing methods”, which has been cited nine times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
