Local Forsyth County Indian Restaurant Fails Health Inspection, Scores 51

Suprabhat Indian Cuisine received a failing score of 51 on a routine health inspection conducted in late January, marking its second failed inspection roughly one year after an earlier failure. The numeric score and the timing were reported in Forsyth County coverage that identified the restaurant by name.

The restaurant manager told FCN that changes are being made ahead of the next inspection, and the manager’s statement was summarized in subsequent coverage of the incident. Forsyth County News ran a subscriber-preview headline on Feb. 14 noting the 51 score and reporting the manager’s comment; the same reporter, Grace Drawdy, published an earlier story on Feb. 2 headlined "Indian restaurant fails routine health inspection for second time."

Forsyth County News first alerted readers on social media with a January 30 post stating, "One Indian restaurant failed a routine health inspection and was cited for multiple violations." That Facebook post showed four reactions and seven comments in the preview. Local commenters named in the thread included Luke Norris, who asked, "Are there any Indian restaurants that pass inspection?"; Marianne Hansen, who responded, "Luke Norris doesnt look that way. I'll pass on them all!!"; Ty Scott, who wrote "Shocking"; and Sandra Brooks Geiger, who asked, "What restaurant?"

The Feb. 2 article explicitly said Suprabhat Indian Cuisine failed the late-January inspection and noted it was a repeat failure after a previous inspection about one year earlier. The Feb. 2 story was published at 2:47 PM and updated at 3:03 PM; the Feb. 14 subscriber-preview item appeared at 8:00 AM. Both pieces were credited to reporter Grace Drawdy.

County inspection coverage on the news site has included a broader "Restaurant Scores" roundup with a headline listing examples such as "Fish thawing in a bucket, food stored on the floor and unwashed hands in recent health inspections," and that roundup said recent inspections resulted in mostly A grades while one restaurant received a U for multiple food safety violations. The roundup-language appears on the site as context for inspection reporting, though the specific violations that produced Suprabhat’s score of 51 were not included in the text excerpts available.

Available reporting does not include the full health department inspection report, the exact late-January calendar date of the inspection, the detailed list of violations tied to the 51 score, or the manager’s verbatim statement. Forsyth County readers seeking more detail can watch for follow-up inspections and any public release of the official inspection report; the local coverage to date identifies the restaurant, the numeric score, the repeat-failure history, and the manager’s assurance that corrective changes are underway.
