Score
Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On May 6, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

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

Looking across the full record, “evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

The city-wide average sits at 77, which Dakar Grill Restaurant's 58 doesn't quite reach. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
