An Indian restaurant in East Cobb that failed a health inspection last week got a much better score on Thursday.
Cobb and Douglas Public Health inspectors gave Vatica Indian Cuisine  (1475 Terrell Mill Road, Suite 105) a score of 90, or A, upon a re-inspection.
Vatica received a score of 57 on June 17 for a variety of violations, including food-handling and storage issues, food build-up on surfaces throughout the kitchen and the presence of roaches.
On Thursday, inspectors docked the restaurant nine points after seeing “employee using bare fingers to remove ghee from a container, then apply it to uncooked naan in main kitchen. The same container of ghee was used on ready-to-eat cooked naan in main kitchen.”
Otherwise, the major issues cited in the original report had been corrected, although inspectors also cited Vatica on Thursday for not posting the initial inspection report in public view.
“The most current inspection report shall be prominently displayed in public view at all times, within fifteen feet of the front or primary public door and between five feet and seven feet from the floor and in an area where it can be read at a distance of one foot away,” states the re-inspection report (which you can view here).
Restaurants that get scores of 70 or below are typically re-inspected with 10 working days.
