Low Risk

India's appears in inspection records seven times, starting in 2023. The most recent report on file is from Feb 4, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around three violations to closer to six violations.

When inspectors have written things up, “labeling of materials” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

By comparison, the average Houston facility scores 88, putting India's on the weaker side. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
