    Ice cream and shakes flavors
    Miranda N.

    Apparently ITLU opened somewhat recently because the last time I dined in this space, it was a different restaurant. ITLU is a vegetarian Indian restaurant in south Chandler, in the same plaza as other restaurants such as Oreganos and Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers. We went on a random weekday for dinner and it was surprisingly busy. My friends got dosas and I got chana masala with naan. The dosas came out surprisingly quick, it was like we placed our orders and they came out almost immediately. Unfortunately the chana masala took much longer. I thought the chana masala was good, but I definitely got food envy from their dosas and I noticed quite a few people around us also got dosas. While none of us are vegetarian, we all still really enjoyed our meals. We also got ice cream for dessert - unfortunately they don't do samples, so you just have to take a chance and hope you like it. I would definitely come back and try the dosas!

    We came on a Friday night and we were seated within 5 minutes. It was lively and felt very clean. We got three items and they were absolutely delicious. Everything was great until we were leaving the restaurant. We paid our bill with a female server. A few minutes later as we were leaving the restaurant, a male server rushed us and kept saying we "don't pay at the front " near the entrance and was quite hostile. Everyone was looking at us. I reiterated that I already paid with the female server multiple times- not sure if he didn't understand us or just didn't believe us. He then said "fine, okay." No apology was said and it left us with an uncomfortable sour note after everything about the meal was honestly really great. I don't want to discredit the restaurant though because all the other staff were incredibly nice before this incident.

    My friends were having breakfast and I stopped by. Tried their dosae , it was not a typical Mysore style dosa if you are looking for that. But otherwise it was good. The chutneys and sambar were all really good. Also had some veg kheema biryani and jackfruit biryani, both had very well balance flavor for the biryani with the masalas. Even their apricot based dessert was really good. Service was quite fast.

    One of the newest Indian restaurants has opened in Chandler at the spot where Nando's used to be. The location is perfect--right near office spaces--and the restaurant itself is huge. This is a pure vegetarian restaurant focusing on South Indian breakfast and lunch. We visited on a Friday afternoon for lunch, and the first thing that stands out is the interior. Word is that they've invested heavily in the space, and it definitely shows--everything looks clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. The menu is accessed through a simple QR scan and offers a wide variety of options. We ordered the vegetarian thali, which was beautifully presented with multiple curries, rice, puri, a sweet, and accompaniments. It was a satisfying and filling meal. While the food was good, I wouldn't call it exceptional--there felt like something was missing in terms of flavor depth. Service was quick and efficient, the staff was attentive, and pricing felt reasonable for the portion size and ambience. Overall, it's a solid addition to the Valley's Indian food scene, and I'd definitely like to return to try other items on the menu.

    Stunning Ambiance - you can definitely tell they spent a lot of money and time on making the interior feel upscale and luxe. Service was incredibly attentive and answered all of our questions. Sai made several recommendations and we enjoyed all of them. She is the type of server that any restaurant would be lucky to have on staff.

    The decor is very nicely done. The food was very good. However, we will not be returning. Had to scan for the menu. I ordered the Thali lunch and told twice not to share before it was brought to the table. Also told that they do not provide to-go containers for thali. We did receive a tiny container for the chutneys provided with our naan. So I made a valiant effort to stuff my leftovers into the container. I paid at the counter because the waiter was MIA. Lastly the waiter asked if we paid while we were leaving. Too many rules here.

    Thate Podi Idly

    Great service and Food was excellent. Ambiance is also very nice. We tried Thate Idly, medu vada and Two different kinds of Dosas. Filter coffee and Salt Lassi was also very good. All their chutneys and Sambhar was excellent. Servers are very attentive and provided great service. I would recommend this place for South Indian food.

As a health food vegan, I am always on the lookout for food like this: whole foods/plant-based, including some oil-free options. Their whole menu reads like a list of my favorite food buzzwords: buckwheat, lentil cauliflower scramble, sunflower seed meat, local fermented sauerkraut, freshly milled Sonoran wheat; tempeh, sourdough, homemade seeded bread, homemade cashew milk, etc. etc. It was legitimately hard to decide what to get. I went with the baked(!) strawberry banana oat buckwheat pancakes. Super tasty, and a generous portion. I also couldn't resist an oil-free sunbutter cookie (with its wacky bluegreen tinge that was apparently from the sunflower seeds) and also loved the cold brew coffee with cashew milk.

They are a small husband and wife run business, which is always great to see. They are very friendly people who clearly love what they do. There's limited seating indoors, as it's inside Barnone, but you can easily find places to sit outdoors as well.

He then said we were in for a treat! I told him that's what we've been hearing. After looking over the menu, the wife and I ordered a Street Car Donor and Berliner wrap, baklava dessert, and soda. There was only one other couple in the restaurant . I noticed to go orders and DoorDash orders were being picked up while we were waiting for our orders. By the time we left, there was a line. It didn't take very long for our orders to be prepared. It was promptly delivered to our table. The first thing I noticed was the lack of meat in my Berliner. It didn't come close to the amount of meat I saw in several photos on Yelp. After I bit into my wrap, all I could taste were the vegetables. It took a few bites before I tasted just a hint of meat. This was very disappointing. I was meat hungry and I wanted something healthy with a good portion of meat. I wasn't getting it here. A total letdown! The first thing my wife commented on her Street Car donor was how dry it was. Where was the sauce? She had to ask for tzatziki sauce. I took a bite of hers and at least she had more meat than I had. She told me I could have her other half. She was impressed to say the least! Did we come on an off day? Was there someone new in the back? I suggest they weigh out the meat each and every time to keep it consistent. It was not the experience we were expecting! Did anyone experience something similar?

We shared the pimento cheese dip with chicharrones and the sauce was so good we wrote down the description to try to make it ourselves later. I had the King salmon and my partner had the crab linguine. The crab was delectable, highly recommend. The salmon was good but a little on the dry side. For dessert we were too full to have anything rich so we went with the banana cream tart. Definitely a good option to try! It was delicious but light enough to eat after a big dinner.

This a counter service restaurant, so once we paid we were fortunate to grab a table with only two available inside. Our food arrived about 10 minutes later. My Greek salad was fabulous, fresh tasting, crunch of the cucumbers, brine of the Kalamata olives and the Feta salty funk. The gyro portion on my salad was generous.

The kofta was great as well but would definitely come back more for their shawarmas but it's definitely the best bang for your buck I also got some baba ganoush on the side to dip my fries in but unfortunately, I thought the baba ganoush was too lemony/there was too much sumac added so it wasn't as enjoyable. Most baba ganoush I've tasted in my hometown also had a smokey flavor to it from the eggplant so it really couldn't compare.

We tried the chicharonnes, which we did enjoy, but the avocado purée that accompanied it tasted very preserved - Possibly with citrus or something else? The tortillas also did not have much flavor. They tasted almost like something pre-packaged that you could purchase in the store. I expect more robust flavor profiles for House-made tortillas. We also tried the ribeye which we ordered medium rare but it came out medium well+. When we told our server about the steak, she did offer to have it remade but we hate wasting food so we declined the offer. We wanted to try the tres Leches cake because we saw another table order it and it looked so interesting. We didn't want the ice cream on top so we asked if there was anyway they could sub out the scoop of ice cream for a single small churro. Our server told us if we purchased the churros, she would give us the Tres Leches on the house to make up for the steak mishap. We accepted the deal though I don't think it appropriately addressed the issue. The tres leches was dense and firm, not like any other that tres leches I've ever had. The churros had a filling (either cajeta or dulce de leche - I really couldn't distinguish) that in my opinion, did not add value. I would've preferred a percentage off the bill or some other proposal to make it right. It just really wasn't there for me. I've talked to several people in the East Valley about this restaurant since I dined there, and seems my experience was shared among those people too.
