Score
India Palace has been inspected eight times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Apr 22, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “ceiling/ceiling tiles/vents soiled” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Restaurants in Bonita Springs average 80, so India Palace trails the local norm. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
