The Oriental food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · South Lanarkshire
The Oriental was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the restaurant fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
This is a fresh result: The Oriental was inspected on 20 May 2026, so the rating reflects what the inspector found very recently.
