Score
Going back to 2022, Delights of Beirut has 14 inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 25, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around 12 violations per visit lately, up from roughly seven violations before.
Across the inspection history, “hole in or other damage to wall” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded seven times.
Compared to other South Miami restaurants (averaging 63), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
