Review of Indus Indian and Herbal Cuisine

Health inspection issues, high risk dining - Indus has been my go-to place for Indian buffet as I loved the choices available, but lately I have been having mild diarrhea each time I ate the food at Indus. Out of curiosity I decided to check their health inspection reports at state report site.

This restaurant has repeated violations and warnings on sanitation and how the food is handled. Inspections held in last three years had warnings issued as the restaurant did not comply to guidelines. They remediate the findings during the inspection and the same shows up again in next inspection which highlights the fix are temporary and food served in between inspection dates does not meet standards.

The repeated violations to list a few

- Stop sale issued at every inspection on time/temperature control for safety food due to temperature abuse.

- Cooked meal not held at right temperature or cooled at right temperature or kept overnight. This is serious as it can lead to bacterial growth which results in diarrhea.

- Establishment has no procedures for employees to follow in response to a vomiting or diarrheal event where the vomit or diarrhea is discharged onto surfaces in the establishment.

- Toxic substance/chemical improperly stored. Observed chlorine sanitizer bucket stored directly on the floor.

- Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine located in the kitchen area.

- Live, small flying insects in kitchen, food preparation area, or food storage area.
