Low Risk

Going back to 2022, Greek Specialties has eight inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 10, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around one violation to closer to three violations.

The pattern that stands out is “time/temperature control for safety food cold held”, which has been cited three times.

Compared to the broader Palm Springs restaurant scene, where the average is 82, this is a stronger showing. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
