    Basmati Rice
    Rachel K.

    SO. TASTY!!!! So glad me and bae finally decided to check this place out. It's decently priced. You have to order rice separately but it ended up being around the same price we spend at other Indian restaurants that have rice included with entrees. We are crazy so we always get the spiciest option, and no flavor was sacrificed on either of our dishes. The flavor was explosive! It is incredibly nice inside as well. Such a pretty interior. Felt fancy! Also, very attentive service. My cup was never empty, and everyone was so nice! Thank you!

    In this picture is the only decently cooked piece of non-bread that was served to me. All of the pieces in the basket were inedible.

    Stopped in as a single diner for dinner. The place was not that busy. I wanted to sit at the bar and have a beer along with my dinner however I guess their bar is only for drinking so they sat me on a table and I just enjoyed water with my meal. I could've still had a beer, but it just bothered me that they wouldn't let me sit at the bar and eat food with my drink. And I didn't wanna be our separate of my food. The food was just OK I asked for a medium spicy, and it wasn't very hot at all. I ordered an appetizer and while the items listed were included, the quantities listed were not matched to the menu. The non-bread that I ordered was very gummy and undercooked. I mentioned this to the waitress and she did not really care.

    An employee at Jersey Mike's in Surprise told us to try this place and said it was his favorite Indian food. I am a huge Indian food fan and it is my personal favorite, so of course, I listened. And, he was right! The food here is outstanding. We tried a variety of dishes and drinks: chicken tikka masala, chicken korma, beef samosas, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, cheese naan, basmati rice, and mango lassi. Everything we had was delicious and so warm and comforting. There was so much flavor and the meat was so tender. The tandoori chicken was AMAZING. I ate every single piece and wished for more because it was that good. I love that they offer beef on their menu because you do not often see that. It is beautiful inside and the vibes and ambiance were great. The service was excellent! We were greeted, everyone was so nice and friendly, and we were checked on multiple times and made sure we had everything we wanted and needed. Overall, it was a great experience and we will return!

    Beef Samosa
    Rachel J.

    Our experience here was really great! My husband and I tried a few different dishes but our favorite was definitely the lamb korma. The lamb was very tender and juicy and they give you quite a bit of meat. We also tried the basmati rice which was surprisingly very flavorful, which I wasn't expecting. I really love that they use glass and not cheap plastic for drinking water and any other drinks you order. Our server was very kind and gave us great recommendations. One thing to note, we were astonished by the pricing, it is VERY REASONABLE Overall, our experience was great and I'm looking forward to bringing my sister here as she LOVES Indian food too!!

    Outstanding food delicious beyond my expectations. We had the lamb, korma, medium spice and shrimp korma spicy with delicious garlic naan. Wonderful open dining space and a beautiful bar. This place is a real treasure and I highly recommend to anyone.

    Shrimp Korma, Butter Chicken, Basmati Rice, and the Cheese Naan.

    This place has the best Indian food. So flavorful and good. Great service, everyone is so kind. I would recommend anyone here!!

    Clean place, but the prices for the amount of food is crazy, I can see why I was the only person there at noon. I've ate Indian cuisine at other places in the valley, this one is not one I'll come back too.

    48th birthday at my favorite restaurant. The staff was accommodating. There's never a wait for a table. Service is always so personal. They become familiar with you and treat you kindly.

    Chicken Biryani palak Saag Paneer Cucumber Raita
    Ariana J.

    Sad to say one of the worst Indian food I've ever had in the US. My parents and I visited India Garden a week ago during our visit to Phoenix. Chicken biryani : tasteless, it's just white rice mixed with bland chicken curry. Very bad. It's a joke to call this biryani. It's also seems like heated in the microwave Palak paneer : sloppy chunks of paneer in badly cooked palak Garlic naan: it was not well cooked and seemed raw dough Mango lassi; alright nothing special Felt it was super pricy for the Phoenix cost of living as well. Even raita is charged extra it's also sour and not good. Ambiance also looks like some old Indian restaurant. Wouldn't recommend. PS: Am Indian and from Bay Area in California.

It was a quarter of the size of my husband's chicken biryani bowl - his was so large he only ate half . Plus side everything was delicious and heat levels are customized , my hubby went with "make me cry " option and I ordered the medium heat . Both made us sweat so it delivered. I'd come back for sure but I'd stay away from value plates , not much value . Just order from the regular menu. For reference we spent $50 for 2ppl . So this isn't exactly a cheap eats kinda dinner . Vegetarian & Vegan items are clearly labeled. I'll be back for more !

The food tastes like someone cares, and it's kept fresh and rotating instead of sitting there dying under heat lamps. This is one of the few buffets where I don't feel like I'm compromising quality just because it's a buffet. The garlic naan deserves its own paragraph. It's legitimately great, and it's dangerously easy to keep grabbing just one more piece. Easily one of the highlights and clearly something they do right consistently. Menu-wise, the usual favorites show up for a reason. Chicken tikka masala, saag or palak paneer, biryani, vindaloo. Portions are generous if you order off the menu, and they're generally willing to adjust spice levels if you ask. Service is friendly and straightforward. No attitude, no upsell nonsense, just people doing their jobs well. In short, solid food, great value, and one of the better lunch buffets around.

After that, I ordered the chicken tikka masala which really delicious too, lots of flavor! We also ordered a side of paneer naan which was awesome! I'd never had stuffed naan before and this stuff was amazing. I would definitely order it again. A really great place to eat Indian food at, definitely recommend stopping in for dinner or lunch, I think they have an all you can eat lunch buffet.

Interior is nice Indian music playing and multiple TVs going some with Indian cooking, Indian dance, and news. When you come in greeted and seated quickly.

You don't have to order rice in addition to the chicken tikka masala if that's what you order, which is nice. I am glad that this is the case because it was a little more than what I was expecting to spend. However, I do think that the price was okay for dinner. Another note that I will offer about the food is that they do allow you to customize the spice levels, which is nice. The service was more than I had ever expected, especially for just having placed a to go order. They allowed me to sit inside the restaurant while I waited for my food, noted that I was waiting on my order so that it would come out in a reasonable time, and also offered me a to go water while I was waiting. The containers that my food came in are honestly ones that I could reuse. The ambience of the restaurant is also nice. There is a nice patio with different types of seating to accommodate all needs. The inside has a nice bar and they have music playing at a volume that allows you to listen, but it's not too loud. There is also a separate parking lot across the street that is reserved for customers of the restaurant, which is really nice since it is located in downtown. I will definitely be coming back to dine in.

I believe I've only gone there once and haven't seen the place entirely packed, but there is enough seating for groups of four. I usually get the buttered chicken or chicken tikka, which is accompanied by two flavorful sides that are usually tofu and spinach or onions and potatoes. The protein is served with rice and naan bread. There's additional parking on the south side of the property with access to the Greek restaurant in 5th Ave., Café. The portions are outstanding and I recently took two friends who never had Indian food before and now I want to go back.
