This is a nice, small, colorful spot in the middle of downtown Tempe. They really need to remove the "cooked to order" on their menu as I found out that the item I wanted was already pre-cooked and I couldn't customize it like I thought. Instead, I got a maniac combo which includes 3 types of meats along with rice, salad, hummus, and bread. My favorite of the meats were the gyro. I also had a mango lassi which is not on their menu for some odd reason. This all cost me $23.24. Though it took them a long while to make the lassi, the food and service was above average.

Very chic, although I liked the decor, not a fan of the odd lighting. The service was okay, about as fast as expected for an Indian restaurant. The food itself definitely felt like they simplified and modernized the dishes for the local taste. I just wish I remembered to ask if they could make it spicy. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I remembered to ask

Beef gyro plate
Hallie S.

My boyfriend and I went to Masala Maniac, one of Tempe's new food spots and it was really good. I ordered the beef gyro plate which came with a bunch of food and I left stuffed. The meat was perfectly seasoned and the hummus it came with was amazing. We sat outside and it was great to see the sun come down over Mill Ave and see the town come to life. It was during grad season but the place didn't have a long wait at all. I loved the vibes of this restaurant and they had different games on the tvs inside. The bar was also really cool and it looks like it'd be a fun spot to stop and eat at night. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Butter Chicken
Gerardo J.

Amazing food, amazing service, clean, and nice atmosphere, they also have a full bar inside and will definitely be coming back!

Chicken Tikka Masala
Daran O.

The food is really good. I've had the butter chicken and the Tikki Masala and both are solid. My only reason for a 4 star vs 5 is the price for the amount of chicken you get.

Naan

A nice surprise, stopped in for lunch buffet and the food was excellent. Well prepared naan, and the service was very fast. Restaurant was clean with a modern, colorful design. With a soft drink and tip, under 25pp

Beef/Lamb Gyro

The ambience in the establishment is nice but that's about it, as I ate the gyro it just kept getting worse. The meat they served me was extremely dry and hard it seems like it's been sitting in the pan for a while, very disappointed that they would serve meat like this to a customer. The water also taste like dirt, they definitely need to do something about there water filtration. I definitely wouldn't come back with this type of food they're serving worst gyro I have ever had.

See all

This is my second time at this location because I can't get enough! Any chance I can bring my dog…read moreto a patio, I am there! The outdoor patio is relaxed and has a great ambiance. There is hardly ever a wait time the staff is very attentive and kind. The location is great and centralized in Tempe. Food is great, and they have a reserve happy hour after 8 pm where you can get $4 beers?! Sign me up! The food is great priced, fresh, and very diverse, where else in the valley can you get poutine, salmon salad, and chicken egg rolls in the same day? Most notably, their Brickhouse wings with Oatmeal Stout BBQ were so good I had to come back for more (no picture, we devoured these almost immediately). The beer-flavored desserts and beer-themed menu items really kept on theme for the brewery. The beers are exceptional, and they keep a rotating tap of local beers and classic favorites. I especially love that they partner with local producers to create their food and beverage menus. This place is a must-visit.

This is a great place to watch some sports games or UFC fights. The server was friendly and the…read moreservice was good. Four peaks is by ASU and definitely has a college brewery vibe. Lots of fun there for sure. The food is not bad! Pretty standard bar food. The AZ chicken rolls are one of my favorite appetizers. But this time I got the Brezelburger. Service: 8/10 Value: 6/10 Flavor: 8/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Cleanliness: 8/10 Overall I had a great time here and will definitely be back sometime in the future. It is a great place to go to have a couple of drinks and watch some games.
