Score
Inspectors have visited Standard India Restaurant five times, with records going back to 2010. On Feb 4, 2011, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Standard India Restaurant's record stops at Feb 4, 2011, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around five violations lately compared to roughly two violations before.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, which has been cited three times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
