Another Good Week for Restaurant Inspections

ByWarren Redlich

There were no perfect inspections this past week, but there was a tie of restaurants each with only one minor violation.

Update: We are told by readers that Aladdin’s Eatery has changed its name to Lina’s Taverna

We’re calling Aladdin’s Eatery the winner, because they are a full-service restaurant with a broad menu and it was a routine inspection. They’re on St. Andrews just south of Glades near Town Center Mall. Yogurt Zone in Somerset Shoppes (Lyons & Glades) also had only one minor violation in a licensing inspection.
