Jasmine (March)
3906 N. Oracle Road
- History: Has received mostly “good” ratings since it opened in 2013.
- What the inspector saw: The restaurant received a “provisional” rating on a March 29 inspection, when the inspector noted five critical violations. In addition to issues with safe holding temperatures and date marking, the inspector saw cockroaches throughout the kitchen. The report also notes that a George Foreman grill was being used in the facility, violating Pima County’s food code, as it’s not considered restaurant-grade equipment.
- Follow-up: Failed April 8.
- Response: “The failure is because the department changed the health code and the temperatures were different,” said owner Saba Alsafar. “They said they were posted online, but we didn’t know.”
