Brooklyn, NY — Kitchen Grill, an Indian restaurant at 914A Fulton Street in Brooklyn, received a score of 27 during a health inspection conducted on March 30, 2026, according to data released by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on April 1, 2026. The score places the restaurant at the upper boundary of the Grade B range, one point below the threshold at which a Grade C is assigned.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors documented one critical violation during the March inspection. The violation, coded 06C under the NYC Health Code, relates to food protection during storage, preparation, transportation, display, or service. Specifically, inspectors noted that condiments were not stored in single-service containers or dispensed directly by the vendor, creating a potential pathway for contamination from customer handling.

Critical violations are defined by DOHMH as those most likely to contribute to foodborne illness. Under the NYC Health Code Article 81, food businesses are required to protect food and food-contact surfaces from sources of contamination at all points in the food handling process. The FDA Food Code similarly identifies improper condiment handling as a risk factor for cross-contamination, particularly in high-traffic dining environments.

No non-critical violations were recorded during this inspection.

Food Safety Context

A score of 27 is the highest a restaurant can receive while still earning a Grade B. The NYC grading system assigns letter grades based on the total points accumulated during an inspection, with each violation carrying a point value determined by its severity and public health risk. At 27 points, Kitchen Grill's score reflects a meaningful accumulation of violation points, even with only one violation cited.

Under NYC Health Code Article 81 and corresponding DOHMH regulations, restaurants scoring in the B range are required to post their grade card visibly. Restaurants may also request a re-inspection before a grade is finalized, a process designed to give establishments an opportunity to address identified issues.

Inspection History

Kitchen Grill has one prior inspection on record with DOHMH:

  • April 17, 2025: Score 18 (Grade N)

A Grade N designation indicates a score within the B range during an initial inspection cycle, at which point the restaurant is typically re-inspected before a final grade is posted. The current inspection represents a nine-point increase over that prior score, moving the restaurant to the top of the B range.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

NYC DOHMH assigns letter grades based on inspection scores as follows:

  • A: 0–13 points (lowest violation burden)
  • B: 14–27 points
  • C: 28 or more points

Scores reflect the cumulative point value of all violations identified during a single inspection cycle. A lower score indicates fewer or less severe violations. Grades are required to be posted at the restaurant entrance.
