Score
The health department has logged 32 inspections at Salam Restaurant, the earliest from 2012. The latest inspection on file is from Aug 11, 2025. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around nine violations each, up from closer to seven violations before.
“Non-food/food contact surfaces clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 16 times across the record.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Salam Restaurant's 55 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
