Score

Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Golda appears in inspection records six times, starting in 2022. The most recent visit was on Mar 24, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

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

Across the inspection history, “establishment is not free of harborage or conditions” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded four times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Brooklyn restaurant scores 77. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
