Curry Leaf was docked points for employees improperly washing their hands; workers were seen touching their face and/or hair and then handling utensils.
Sometimes employees just rinsed their hands instead of using soap.
Another person was seen dicing tomatoes with bare hands. The inspector made them pitch the tomatoes.
Another violation was a too-warm cooler.

The inspector also cited the restaurant because “food contact surfaces are not clean to sight and touch.” Food debris was found on knives, pans, produce peelers.
A man who claimed to be an owner but refused to give his full name told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he is reviewing hand-washing procedures and getting a new refrigerator.
He refuted the claim of the dirty kitchen equipment.
Follow-up inspections are usually done within 10 days of the original evaluation.
