Medium Risk

Public records show 10 inspections at Shahi Indopak Restaurant stretching back to 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 8, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near nine violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “operating with an expired division of hotels”, which has been cited three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Lauderhill restaurants. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
