Inspection summary

Indian Flavors has been inspected 3 times by Interior Health Authority since March 26, 2024. The most recent inspection, on September 16, 2026, recorded 3 infractions.

1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 6 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Pests and Food temperature control.

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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 16, 2026. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on September 16, 2026. For example: 2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?

  • 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 September 16, 2026. For example: 4 Are proper freezing and thawing procedures followed?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on January 8, 2026. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

About this data

These results come from Interior Health Authority, which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.

3 inspections

  1. Monitoring

    3 infractions

    • F2.2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?
      • Observation(s): At the time of inspection, a live mouse was observed in the back storage area. Although a trap was noted to be set within the back area, it would be helpful to add more traps to the area. No prominent entry points were noted at the time of inspection.
    • F2.4 Are proper freezing and thawing procedures followed?
      • Observation(s): At the time of inspection, a large pack of frozen meat was thawing in a bucket of water. The temperature of the water measured at 22C with a probe thermometer. Operator stated this has been left out thawing for 1 hour. This practice is an improper method of thawing potentially hazardous foods. The frozen meat pack should either be: 1. left thawing in the cooler or 2. left thawing under running cold water for less than 2 hours.
    • F2.5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
      • Observation(s): 1. Kitchen exhaust baffles/hoods were observed to have a heavy build-up of grease, dust, and debris. The professional service sticker states that a service was due for June 2026. However, operator was unable to confirm whether it was ever professionally cleaned at that time. 2. Mouse droppings - some old and new, were observed throughout a few areas of the facility. These include the back dry storage area, in the dish pit area, and underneath the rack holding metal trays. 3. Freezer door lock was observed to be broken. A rope was being used as a temporary measure to pull the door.
  2. Monitoring

    3 infractions

    • F1.7 Are foods protected from contamination?
      • Observation(s): Observed several food items in the walk-in cooler being stored uncovered. A bin of dry food in the dry storage room was observed to be stored uncovered.
    • F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
      • Observation(s): Chlorine test strips were not available on the premises. These test strips ensure that sanitizer concentrations for the low temperature dishwasher, and for the surface spray bottles, are being monitored to meet appropriate levels.
    • F2.5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
      • Observation(s): 1. Observed a build-up of old mouse droppings and debris on the floors of the dry storage room. 2. Observed a build-up of grease and debris on the baffles of the kitchen ventilation hoods.

    I had dinners at Indian Kitchen several times during my stay in Golden. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of dishes ranging from authentic Indian cuisine to Chinese options. The flavors were consistently great, and while the portion sizes were average, the quality and taste more than made up for it. One area that could be improved is staffing, especially during busy weekends and long holidays. On one of my visits, there was only one server handling orders, serving food, and processing bills. She was working very hard and doing her best, but it was clearly too much for one person during such a busy time. The owners seem genuinely committed to providing a great experience for their customers, and I really appreciate their efforts. Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant with delicious food, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Golden.

    Great food, proper portion, and friendly staff. I'd suggest they close off some of the space when there are few customers and open it up when there's a crowd. Overall, great Indian restaurant with excellent food choices. I read some of the reviews while waiting for my food, and it's interesting what people say about the food. You cannot expect a quick food service that requires caution when cooking for it to be fresh. Of course, they have to warm some of the food. If you want something fresh with homemade quality, my friend, consult your kitchen; let business owners run their business the best they can.

    Exceptional service, I mean it. Our waitress was nice, professional, and quick. The food was very good, so much so we came back the next day for dinner again. We also had them pack us food for lunches, it really is good. I highly recommend everyone come here. A big big plus is, their meat is halal (other than the pork ofc).

    I ordered the India flavour chicken biryani and it came in a nice portion with authentic Indian taste. I’ll definitely stop by for dinner in the future.

  • Muhtasim Ishmam

    The portion sizes were incredible small, the biryani rice that we ordered was supposed to be for 2 people but it barely fed 1 person. The chicken vindaloo portion size didn't feel like it was worth 17.55 cuz the bowl was incredibly small and the chicken Manchurian tasted like chicken soup. Overall people come here because it's right by the highway, and in a way the people are being taken advantage of by the small portions and prices that don't do justice to the food.
