Low Risk

Royal Casino Restaurant appears in inspection records 10 times, starting in 2022. On Dec 15, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around one violation to closer to three violations per visit.

“In-use knife/knives stored in cracks between pieces” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.

Compared to the broader Lauderhill restaurant scene, where the average is 75, this is a stronger showing. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
