Inspection summary

Hot Pot Grill Indian Cuisine has been inspected 6 times by Interior Health Authority since July 25, 2022. The most recent inspection, on August 21, 2026, found no infractions.

1 of 6 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Cleaning and sanitizing and Handwashing and staff hygiene.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 20, 2026. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 2, 2025. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 2, 2025. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on August 20, 2026. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on September 2, 2025. For example: 5 Are the FOODSAFE training requirements being met?

    I ordered 2 plates of channa bhatura from Pakora Place, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The taste was not up to expectations the channa lacked flavor and the bhatura didn’t feel fresh I was really looking forward to a good meal, but this didn’t meet the standard. Hoping the restaurant can improve the quality and consistency in the future.

    very disappointing experience ever. ordered a veggie thali and a extra naan. the quality was too bad. mix veg was full of oil and had only one piece of paneer. and for naan they were too hard to eat and were stale. ordered butter naan but i couldn’t see butter anywhere. they gave me leftover food. it is not acceptable at all. will post pictures of food too.

    I had the most wonderful birthday dinner here with my family—we were a group of 11, and everything was handled so perfectly. The owner and his wife truly went above and beyond to make my day special, making sure every little detail was just right. The food was absolutely delicious, and the complimentary items for my birthday were such a kind and thoughtful gesture. We also really enjoyed the music, which made the whole evening even more memorable. Thank you for such a beautiful experience😇

    This restaurant is an absolutely disappointing. Dirty,and the food looked nothing like the photos, tasted worse than cafeteria leftovers. When I walked in, restaurant was really diff from what I saw in review, i am not sure they are faking the review or not but this was a huge disappointment. Food quality was horrible, puri just broke every single time we tried to eat, no utensils, no sauce,no rice or no naan, as well as quantity is so small. And also Chole looked so bad.. Idk why my review was hidden and just want to save ppl from this
