Cafe Derbi Comes Within One Point of SNHD Shutdown

Cafe Derbi at 5920 W. Flamingo Road came within one point of being shut down by the Southern Nevada Health District after a routine inspection on Jan. 27.

The 40-demerit inspection found food unprotected from potential contamination, improper hand washing, inaccurate thermometers, single-use items reused, unacceptable personal hygiene, no one in charge with management certification and much more.

Since 2005, the restaurant has earned mainly A grades, but received two C grades in 2012 and 2014.

The Southern Nevada Health District routinely shuts down restaurants that receive more than 40 demerits. Restaurants have the option of requesting a re-inspection before the next scheduled inspection.
