Jasmine (April)
3906 N. Oracle Road
- History: Has received mostly “good” ratings since it opened in 2013, until receiving a “provisional” rating during a March 29 inspection.
- What the inspector saw: With four critical violations during an April 8 reinspection, the restaurant received a “probationary” rating. The inspector saw live and dead cockroaches in the kitchen, and the report mentioned a “meat saw not cleaned since yesterday’s use” with “meat and roaches inside.”
- Follow-up: Failed April 18; passed April 20.
- Response: “The failure is because the department changed the health code and the temperatures were different,” owner Saba Alsafar told the Star, when contacted earlier in the month. “They said they were posted online, but we didn’t know.”
