Score
Hyderabad Tandoori appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2023. On Aug 12, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around three violations, down from roughly eight violations earlier in the record.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, showing up five times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Queens restaurants. The record reflects steady performance over time.
