Score
Oberoi's Indian Food and Delhi Nihari appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2018. On Oct 26, 2022, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. The file hasn't been updated since Oct 26, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around six violations compared to roughly eight violations earlier on.
“Non-food/food contact surfaces clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing four times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
