    Solid 3.5 star indian restaurant. Pretty empty during lunch at 1 PM on a Tuesday afternoon. One family in there and 2 other people eating alone. Restaurant was quiet and dimly lit. Food seemed to be on the buffet in full trays and it doesn't seem like anyone touched it. There was a fly buzzing around the buffet wish it was cleaner. Had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chana Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Naan, Kheer, and Carrot Halwa. Desserts were all super mid and everything tasted like cardboard. Chicken entrees were the saving grace as the chicken was tender and well cooked. Prolly won't be back for buffet...

    I have been here twice in one month. They are a hidden gem with great spicedfood and great customer service. I had a chance to try their samosas and they are the best I've had. I also had their Marsala goat and their buffet has a lot of options.

    Absolutely horrible five pieces of chicken. This is the worst Indian restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life, not exaggerating, even a little bit just blatantly a horrible restaurant that I would never recommend to anybody not a stranger not my worst enemy and absolutely not friends or family. I'm worried about how bad they actually treat the food considering that they actually let us out of the door.

    I told myself I wasn't going to give out five stars anymore unless I absolutely loved everything service, food, and ambiance, a true 10/10. But this place earned it. The food was delicious. The garlic naan was exactly what I'd been craving, the rice was cooked to perfection, and the chicken tikka masala was incredible. I ordered it medium spice, and it was just right rich, flavorful, and nicely thick. The spices were on point. Definitely coming back to the lunch special I came for dinner so it was a little bit more expensive than I thought.

    So. Here's a hard one. The food was excellent. Chicken vindaloo spice 4 was flavorful and not too spicy. Chicken tender and sauce hot. Tikka masala was as good with white meat chicken The Bhatura was excellent , not greasy Naan as good with butter Service was excellent and hospitable Ambiance comfortable serene western music Loved the elephant in the dining room. They did mess up the heat. Mine was supposed to be 4 and wife 0. They mixed that up. Dropped from 5 to 4 stars. Food was a 5. Gave it 4 due to the mix up in heat levels. Would I come back ? Yes.

    3/8/2025 Wife and I stopped for Lunch today. Parking 5/5 Arrived 5 minutes before opening so the lot was ours. There is plenty of private parking including Handicapped spaces by the front door. Ambiance 5/5 We were greeted immediately by a pleasant Gentleman and were seated in the waiting area. The waiting area is nice and includes a separate seating in-the-round with a map of India with photos on wall. We were seated in the dining area which is always very nice (redecorated). The white linen table dress wasn't present possibly reserved for the dinner service which is when we've visited in the past. Menu 5/5 We took a walk on the wild side, meaning we ventured from or normal order-off the menu go-to's decided to try the Lunch Service Buffet. It was time to checkout other proteins and "flavoFlavs" ! Food 5/5 Provided with the buffet is an order of Garlic/Regulr Naan and multiple trips at the Buffet. My Wife 1st trip was for the Goat Marsala and Rice, I tried the butter and mixed vegetable Marsala and jasmine rice. Absolutely amazing flavors and delicious! We both tried other flavors and proteins on our second pass. Again, everything was great. Frequent flyer tip: If you know your Indian dishes and have a favorite order from the Menu. We decided to be more adventurous today but will order our favorite (Worlds best Chicken Tikka Marsala) from the menu next trip and yes many more visits! This is the very best Indian restaurant in the Valley Keep on Yelping my Friends!

    Awful. Horrible. Terrible. Slop! We invited friends to our house. Since we liked Indian food we decided to try this place for take-out. One of our friends is from India and when my husband and I lived in NYC, we ate Indian food frequently. We wasted over $100 on the worst Indian food we ever tried. We threw it out and went to Uncle Sal's, our go-to emergency spot. It was Saturday night so there was no excuse for serving such horrible food. Everything looked and tasted the same. We couldn't tell the difference between cauliflower, potatoes, eggplant or chicken. Mysterious, overcooked chunks were swimming in oil. Tomato based sauce tasted the same as butter sauce and tandoori flavors. BaganBartha looked like green vomit. Other dishes looked like diarrhea that had sat on a steam table since their lunch buffet. There were no discernable nuts or raisins in the Biyrani. We asked for Mango chutney but they couldn't find it. We asked for mild to medium heat level but it was as hot as the hottest Vindaloo we've ever eaten. To top things off, they asked us to call back in 5 minutes to order because the cash register was broken. Seriously? On a Saturday night? We should not have called back and we won't be back. ICK. We're glad we went elsewhere or we might have gotten ill. Spare yourselves.

    Buffet!!

    This Indian restaurant is still a 5 star for me. Here's an updated review since it has been a few years! Did an early Valentine's Day lunch buffet and as always the food was delicious. A few items had a bit of a kick. A buffet is a great choice to try several dishes that might be new to you! There was a fried cabbage dish that I had not tried before. Chicken seemed to be the main meat offering in many of the dishes, so if you want something not chicken related, the main menu might be a better choice. Service at noon was quick and our dirty dishes were whisked away quickly. I enjoy the interior, as there is always lots of tables.

    Rice, tiki masala and vindaloo

    Just spent over $60 for a 2 person meal. Horribly small portions for the $$ with so much better Indian food out there. Will not ever buy from here again. Triple portions of rice and one naan. Complete and total ripoff.

We got two hummus garlic naan, 1 samosa meat, 1 tikka chicken masa, 1 tandoori chicken, 1 dal makhani, rice and spicy pickles in addition to 2 drinks. The margarita was coconut based and very different than a traditional option. The Dahl was not the best--I've had better but the rest was good. I would opt out of getting spicy pickles (it's more pickled vegetables and overpriced at $5 for a side). We didn't like them and honestly are used to getting that free as part of the sides/chutneys. The naan was delicious and we mostly enjoyed everything but would switch out the Dahl next time.

When we arrived the employee told us it was a 15 minute wait and asked for our name and phone number. We looked forward to our meal and so after we gave our information and then left to walk around until we received the call. After about 15 minutes we got a call at 1:37pm that our table was ready. It took us about 3-4 minutes to walk back and we were promptly seated. I was happy to see that there were real plates unlike the paper plates we had to use the last time. I filled my plate and while it was just as good as the last time we were there I quickly remembered how spicy the food is. I sat with my plate of food as I made it through the spicy but otherwise tasty food. Not everything was hot. Some of the food even though presented on heated elements was actually slightly cold. When they cleared the table of our dirty plates I asked them to leave our water cups and the water pitcher which was still 1/3 filled as my mouth was still recovering from the heat/spiciness. Then to my surprise one of the employees approached our table and told us people were waiting and wanting us to leave. I have never felt so insulted by a merchant or dining establishment. We still hadnt drunk our water and I had paid the bill at 2:02pm so it hadnt even been 30 minutes since we were sat for our meal. If you don't mind being rushed during your meal then this is the place for you!

If you come here and expect a good Butter Chicken, lol. Order South Indian food and you won't be disappointed. The food at Chennai Cafe is salty, spicey, and tangy. It's got a good mix of all the flavors that remind me of home. I specifically get the Thali meals. These meals have a bit of every curry that is made that day. Usually split between 2 veg curries, 2 nonveg curries, rice, naan (roti), yogurt, and a dessert. All the curries were excellent. I couldn't eat the entire thali as the quantity of food will put you to sleep, so I ate all the meat stuff with the rice and bread and took all the vegetarian/dessert stuff home. Service is typical Indian restaurant, bunch of dudes standing around. You'll have to flag them down anytime you want something. Don't be shy to do so! That's how you do it at an Indian restaurant. Ambiance is typical no-frills Indian restaurant. Don't expect white glove treatment here. Small dining room area with chairs pretty close to each other. However, know what you are going to order and it'll come out fresh and spicy. Definitely an all time favorite for me in the Valley.

We even joked about trying something new, but of course we ordered our usual again but we recently found out they have a buffet on Sundays, which is really nice if you want to try different dishes or expand your palate! The garlic naan is always a favorite, super savory and hard to stop eating. You can also choose the spice level for the masala. We finally tried the spiciest level, and I would say to be careful with that one. We would recommend medium instead. We are Hispanic and even for us the spiciest level was a little intense on our gastrointestinal system, but we still ate everything. If you want authentic Indian food with great spices, this is the place to go. It is usually pretty empty when we visit, which surprises us because the food is so good. We hope this place gets longer waits and we will definitely be eating here many more times.

    This is a neat family establishment. The mother is the chef and Khadija (forgive me if I botched…read morethe spelling) is the daughter and our server. They were so welcoming. I am still learning about middle eastern cuisine so the chef described some entrees. I told her about a Pakistani dish I really enjoyed and she made me a similar chicken dish that isn't even on the menu! What I love about middle eastern food is that it is so fragrant and a full scale sensory overload. It looks, smells and tastes all at once. Khadija was adorable and very outgoing. I was super impressed by the whole vibe. All of the other patrons were probably far more familiar with the cuisine, but we felt welcome and were so honored that they presented something off the menu for me. I plan to try the regular menu dishes next time. The naan is outstanding, too.

Server came over with his notepad and looked at us to take orders, didn't say a word. When he brought the dishes, a few minutes later, he literally plopped all of them in one spot in the table without making any attempt to remember which dish went to which person. Very odd behavior The dishes on the menu are clearly marked vegetarian, vegan or contains meat. We had two dishes that were supposed to be vegan, one was a saag dish which they had placed butter over the top of. It looked delicious to everyone, but the vegans who could not eat it. When we pointed it out, they made no attempt to offer us another dish and just said oh yes, that's ghee (clarified butter) we said the menu indicated it was vegan, but again no response. The two vegans at our table just decided rather than argue, they will share the rice dish, which was also indicated as vegan. As they started to eat it, they realized there were several pieces of paneer in it. I really hope this was a one off because this was one of my favorite places to eat Indian food. Very very disappointing and no accommodation for the inedible dishes.

He never even checked in after the entrees arrived. The whole vibe of service was overly casual and bordering on careless for this kind of place.

He rang us up for an expensive shrimp dinner that we didn't order and when my boyfriend pointed out that we didn't order it and our bill should be adjusted, he took the bill and then proceeded to bring it back unchanged. Then my boyfriend just gave him the card to check us out while I visited the ladies room. The stalls were so filthy, I've seen cleaner gas station restrooms. Repulsed, I just went back to the table while we waited an additional 30 minutes for our waiter to run the card, for the meal we were overpaying for. Never again. I will not ever return. What a nightmare.

    This restaurant is around the corner from our place and had changed hands in the previous months…read more We never used to see anyone in the old place so decided to try the 'new management'.. We were very surprised we were the only ones dining but we were extremely well looked after and welcomed. This is a family run business and you can tell. The owners are very proud of the heritage and their cuisine. We let our server (Mrs Owner) choose our dishes and we loved every one of them. The restaurant is a large space which is tiled and glass, so could get noisy if the room was full of people but somehow I don't think that will be too much of an issue. This review is 2months after we are there so I can't remember exactly what we had, but it WAS good. We always support local family restaurants in Tempe. If you're looking good northern Indian cuisine, you can't go wrong.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch and was surprised to find they had a buffet. I was happily greeted by…read moretwo people who explained their liquor license had expired, which was disappointing on a hot day, but no biggie. The sign was torn off of the exterior (rebranding I think) so I thought they were closed at first. Clean interior but nothing about the decor really catches your eye. The food, while abundant, was bland at best except For the garlic naan which was super thin and highly fragrant. Meh

    I'm really bummed out writing this because I genuinely love the food at Udupi Café. I've always…read moreenjoyed their dishes, and that's the only reason this isn't a one-star review. But I wish I actually got the food I ordered. This is now the third time I've tried to get their carrot halwa. The first time was through delivery, the second time I even tried in-store, and now this third attempt was another delivery order. Each time, no luck. Fine, things run out, but it's a pattern, you don't have it. I ordered directly from their website, so I hoped the menu would be up to date. The third-party driver called to offer substitutions, which I appreciate, but it's still disappointing. And to top it off, they forgot the vegetables in my masala padpam. That was the part of the meal I was most excited about! So here I am, having spent around $80 total, with two items unavailable and a key part of another dish missing. The only reason this isn't a lower rating is because I do still really like the food. I just wish I actually got to enjoy what I ordered and yes, this could be resolved by going in so they could tell me before I order that they're out of items.
