Lunch with Paneer Biryani
Mike F.

I have been to Bawarchi Biryanis a few times with co-workers and each time the food has been good. I'm no expert on Indian food but luckily my co-workers are and they like the food here. It is a chain and there's lots of locations around the US and other countries While the food is good, the service has been a little hit-or-miss. I have only been here for lunch and I've only seen maybe three other tables so not super packed. The bar area also appears to be just a storage area for some random equipment. That's just a nit-picky detail tho. I'm sure I will be back!

Veg Samosa (2 pcs)

I was excited to see so many 5 star reviews about this place, so I came in with very high expectations. Honestly was not as impressed as I had hoped. Food came out pretty fast, amount of servers seemed to be limited though. The garlic naan was good, but you were hit pretty hard with an overpowering amount of garlic. Butter chicken was the best dish we ordered, but definitely not the best butter chicken I've ever had. This was my first time having biryani and it was more dry than I was expecting. The yogurt sauce did not have much flavor, unfortunately. The vegetable samosas were decent. Overall, nothing too amazing, but was not bad.

Only reason I gave this place a second star is the food is great. Customer service and time to wait for to go orders is horrendous. We have been ordering take out from here for 5 years, but the last three times have been so bad, it's time to move on. Tonight was the last straw, the photo shows how many people were waiting for to go orders that were promised minimum 20min earlier which is not the norm, or hasn't been. Last time I was here I left my name and number and asked for a manager to call me. No call, but I decided to give it a chance. Hate to move on, but my money can be spent better elsewhere. Edit: I ended up waiting 45min and never got food. I gave up and asked for a refund. There was a little resistance, but I got it. I will never spend money here nor recommend it

Wow! First time eating Indian food. It was amazing! Shrimp Biryani was a taste delight. The Veg Curry was very different from any curry I have tasted as o normally don't like curries. Service was great. Will definitely stop here again!

Chicken Tikka Masala !!!!!

Chicken is very very very dry , spring rolls come with nasty hot sauce not sweet and sour , Place is awful Called to talk about it and she says "I made the chicken this morning I don't think it's dry "

Dry tandoori chicken. Looks like cooked too much.
Abhishek S.

Did a take out of Tandoori chicken and a naan for the first time. Chicken was dry from inside and naan was super dry like a papad. Had to throw it away. Also, they don't give onions and lime, an integral part of tandoori chicken unless you ask for it. Only people from different ethnicities were dining there, didn't look like anyone was from India. Taste and texture of food explains why is that. Well, won't recommend this place as food is not upto the mark.

Went here again over the weekend and this time got the chicken marsala which was!!! The Chicken was easy to chew n swallow and this dish had the perfect amount of spices. I pieced mild and this time it was actually mild but still had a small kick of spice but was perfect!!! The rice was perfectly steamed. I'll be getting it again! This time, the staff were great!!! Very friendly and kind. Moneyey came to my immediate attention when I arrived to pick up the order to go. The guy at the cash register was having a hard time keeping up in fact one guy paid online while waiting and then walked out with his food! ALLEDGLY paid online! Anyway, I'll return again and again unless things change.

CLUMPY
Nobel D.

Baby cockroach in my food Also, it was supposed to be Dum Biryani, not CLUMP biryani. A $4 biryani, sold for $17. It's the third time in a row that this has happened. Clumps of curry paste at the bottom of the box and barely any meat. Not worth the money at all. The quality has significantly gone down since they first opened couple years back.

Incredibly horrid smell hits you as soon as entering the restaurant. Smell a combination of wet laundry clothes, sewage, and dirty mats.

Feringhee has been on my list of restaurants to try for a while now so when my friend and I found…read moreourselves in the area one Saturday, we decided to give it a try. We dined at Feringhee for lunch during their Anniversary Dinner special. The space is beautiful and offers plenty of seating, including a private area good for events. Although I was tempted to go with one of their Anniversary Dinner experience tasting menus because it seemed like such a great deal, unfortunately, they didn't offer modifications. My friend opted for the non-vegetarian tasting menu and I ordered an app and entree, and we shared our items. I tried the following: Dal Garlic naan Fish curry Dark chocolate cremeux Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor! I loved it all, but especially the dal and fish curry. The portions were great and the prices were reasonable. Service was excellent. I would definitely return.

09/18/2026 **AZ Restaurant Week**…read moreReservation for 3 on a Friday evening. It was quite busy at the time, but we got seated pretty quickly. We sat at a table with both booth seating and chairs. There was just a small space between our table and the one next to us. Due to the proximity, even the server bumped into our table when serving the other group. We got water shortly after we sat down, but overall service was extremely slow the entire time. It took a while for our server to stop by to take our order. Food came out hot and fresh. We each got different starters and entrees from the AZ Restaurant Week menu, so we could all try more dishes. The fried jhinga (shrimp) was good paired with a mint & cilantro chutney. My friend's starter Kutchi Dabeli had spiced peanut in it and was more spicy than we expected. The lamb keema was pretty good, and I typically don't eat lamb. For main dishes, loved the paneer - it had a lot of sauce, which paired nicely with the garlic naan. The murgir johl (bone-in chicken) had good flavor. I was not a fan of the fish curry. For dessert, the popsicle was coated in so many different spices that overpowered the ice cream. The malai ghewar had a nice crunch but tasted too oily. The spicy guava maria cocktail was smoky (from mezcal) and delicious. We had an issue with the bill - the two beers from the table next to us were added to our bill. It took a while to flag down the server, but she got it corrected. While some of the food was good, I'm not sure I would return given this experience.

We specifically…read morecame for the Thali which to our surprise is what they only serve on the weekends 11:30am - 4:00pm and it's AYCE!!! We both ordered the Devarayas Grand Thali Special which came with all the protein options (Shrimp, Fish, Chicken, Mutton/Lamb Curries, and Fried Chicken). I really love trying a little of everything so the Thali was the way to go! It's served with white rice, your choice of Chapati (tortilla consistency carb) or Poori (fluffy fried carb), Raitha (sour yogurt), what seemed to be potato salad (which I think was Kuruma Curry), Bagara rice (which was a little sweet to me), and a cinnamon-y dessert. I also got the Mango Lassi (mango yogurt drink) which came in clutch because the Chicken Curry was actually pretty spicy, it definitely helped neutralize the heat. I was so happy to be able to try a lot of the curries available, my favorites were the Shrimp and the Fish. I never had Kuruma Curry before (the potato one) but I actually really enjoyed that one too. My boyfriend's favorite was the Chicken Curry because it was authentically spicy which was reminiscent of his South Indian coworker's cooking. The service here is on point, I want to say 6 or 7 different workers came by to ask if we wanted refills on any of the curries, to offer us more food (we also got a donut-like carb), or to make sure we were good. This was a really fun experience, I'd definitely recommend trying it!

I am also quite…read morepicky and careful with giving 5 stars ratings typically and was truly excited about this place after my first visit. However, when we came back so excited for more it was a weird experience here. We came at 5pm especially to try the banana Bajji listed as an option between 5pm-7pm only to be told it's not available. Then tried to order the Kara Kuzhambu with the lentil dumplings and told lentil dumplings not available anymore only okra/ eggplant option for this. The restaurant vibe felt really odd in general. We kind of felt like they weren't sure if they wanted to be open right now or something. The tables were not clean from lunch and they didn't get back to us when we asked questions. We decided to leave and come back another time given the great first experience. The next day, we decided to try again at lunch when the restaurant seems to do most of the business and I called to double check they have the Kara Kuzhambu with eggplant/ okra options just in case and two people seemed to have no idea what I am talking about. I spelled it, explained it's on the menu and it's a tamarind based curry- nothing. The dish I tried here before was very good and I really appreciate that their menu is marked for allergies and different diets. It seems to be very popular among Indian people and a fun cultural experience at weekend brunch/ lunch. However, the service felt really weird and unwelcoming this time and with the dishes listed on the menu but not being available it was a let down. The waiter told us the banana bajji and the lentil dumplings were discontinued completely so it was a bummer they are still listed on the menu. This confusing and unwelcoming exprience led to a big rating difference from me even though I really liked the food I tried in my first visit as well as the atmosphere. Still happy for that super fun first memory here though! My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Just be careful -- the heat builds up slowly, so if you're not used to spicy food, go lower on the scale!

Our server was funny, knowledgeable, and gave fantastic recommendations. There's also plenty of free parking, which is always a plus.

Visited on a Saturday noon - to our surprise, it was lunch hour and only one table was occupied…read more Not sure if it was because of the heat that people didnt step out.. but usually places tend to be a bit crowded, for being in a very decent location. Anyway, so we ordered samosas, pani puris for apps. Ordered a soda and a Gud vali chai. The server or owner, didn't look that of people's person - being in a service industry ideally one should be. That was a bit of a surprise for us. The apps came quick. The pani puri was missing flavor.. the samosas were amazing. The soda came in first, but for the chai, my husband had to ask 3 times. And it came in between our main course, which was not pleasing for sure. Maybe they are short on staff, there was just one other table occupied so wonder why the constant reminder for a cup of chai which usually comes first... We had put in the order for the mains. Chole Bhature and Puri Aloo sabji. Here's the kicker - we weren't served basic cutlery and napkins. When we asked the owner/server got it along with 2 plates and a snarky comment followed "the main course usually comes in a plate, so usually we dont serve it"... errr - we didnt really ask for a plate, it was just napkins and cutlery.. so mannerisms aside (which need to be highly fixed) --- the food - The food was good - it was different than what we usually get in AZ. The flavors were robust, different, not too rich to make you uncomfortable if you have errands to run post lunch and give you a carb crash. But just the perfect amount of richness. It's a decent place, nothing super fancy. You can walk in with shorts, a simple tee and have a meal and it'll be fine..Don't go expecting it's a fine dining place. I am giving it a 3/5 only because, while the food wtv little we tried (We did not try the non veg) so lesser points for that.. it was GOOD. As a hard core Foodie and loving all cuisines, I expect a lot more from indian cuisine. So the 3 points honestly is all towards the food. The rest, could be made up with the place being very very slow and sort of boring for a saturday afternoon... and the basic service industry mannerisms which need to be pulled up.

THE BEST chaat I've had in the states…read more I have not had a single dish here that I have not been absolutely blown away by. We started coming here after our previous Indian spot closed down (RIP buzzing cuisine) and I cannot overstate how good this food was. The service was incredibly fast and the staff are very kind, and it's actually a pretty large place seating-wise. As others have said, I also asked for recommendations and the advice I got was super solid (mostly trying to gauge their spice level). It's $7 for a samosa chaat. In this economy. I have gone there on my lunch break to just grab a cheap bite 3+ times at this point and we have had 3 dinners from here as well. Aside from the pricing, the food itself takes risks that pay off extremely well. I often find myself going to Indian spots in AZ and feeling like the flavors have been muted or toned down to be more palatable and enjoyable for all audiences. Chaat Express does not cater to the unseasoned tongue and everything you get here is bursting with amazing, authentic combinations of herbs and spices. The flavors are just indescribably good. When BOTH of a samosa's chutney sauces are delicious (and especially when the red sauce is not overly-sweet), you know you are in for a treat. Their curries are made with the same ideology: bold, flavor-forward, and delicious. In addition, their meats are always bafflingly tender. Whether you get their goat or chicken, it will be cooked perfectly. If you're not a meat-eater, their paneer is also great and the texture is exactly what you would want to expect. I've also had their lassi, rice, and naan. I really like the way they do their naan. It's buttery but not overly-buttered, and always very fresh. Their mango lassi is also perfectly sweet with just enough of a hint of that tanginess that it stands out on its own. And again, for $4 you cannot beat that value. TLDR: this place NEEDS to do well or I will lose my mind. please come here. i am begging you to not let this place flop

(Lots of take out tho!) Very clean (incl bathroom) and organized. Loved the music and the tv they had on with Bollywood. We were greeted right away and checked on frequently. He was very patient with us and answered our questions kindly The butter naan was so fresh and soft, the plain dosa was just as expected plus yummy sauces. The tandoori chicken was soooo flavorful and juicy! I loved the cabbage on bottom, but grab it quick because it will get burnt! (See video!) we got the kadai chicken medium spice and we overestimated ourselves haha tasty but too spicy for us (We have lower tolerances to spice) so we will go with mild next time, chicken still flavorful and tender. To help with the spice my bf got a mango lassi, worked like a charm, it was well balanced, tasted fresh, and not too sweet.
