A Bangladeshi restaurant on Peachtree Road in Chamblee failed its most recent health inspection due to a string of violations including live roaches that were spotted near a cooler in the kitchen.
Ruchi Bangladeshi Cuisine received a failing score of 60 on its inspection, according to a report from the DeKalb County Board of Health.
The inspector observed “one live adult roach and several live baby roaches” by a preparation cooler in the kitchen.
Several food items were also not holding at the proper temperatures.
The report states that an employee was seen eating in the kitchen, exiting and entering the kitchen from the back door, and handling bags of food without first washing their hands.
Most of the violations were corrected on-site.
The restaurant, which serves Bangladeshi and Indian cuisine, will have the chance to improve its score during a follow-up inspection.
An owner or manager for the eatery did not respond to requests for comment.
According to the health board, Ruchi failed its April 3 health inspection with a score of 58. The following day, it passed with an 85.
