It's always fresh and it's baked in-house in their tandoori oven. It's probably some of the best naan ever. And the hummus is thick. I was there yesterday and unfortunately there was a strand of hair in my food. It was a little unsettling to hear the server say "again?!?!!", but he promptly took it away, replaced it, and comped my meal. Despite the slight hiccup, I still enjoy this place. And I appreciate the good service. The portions are huge so it's better to share with someone or plan on taking leftovers. I like their mantoo and their kubli pulao. If you're with a group of people, it looked like the family meals were the best value. The parking lot is small, so plan on parking on a side street if the spaces are all taken. Afghan food is similar to Greek food so don't feel intimidated. And the server is awesome at guiding newbies at getting dishes that will suit your palette.

They serve the dosa kind of like a wrap, where all the tikka filling is wrapped into the crispy dosa bread. It comes with coconut and tomato chutneys which were both flavorful. The spice level is great. I got a 3/5 and it was a good amount of heat without being overpowering. My friend got the maximum spice and he thought it was perfect if you like it spicy. The portions were HUGE and I could not eat all of it, but makes for great leftovers. Would definitely recommend!

I motored over to Scottsdale, effortlessly secured a convenient parking space directly on the street, and set out to explore. While strolling, my eye was captured by an intimate, delightfully boutique establishment bearing the name The India. Upon crossing the threshold, I noted a wonderfully serene dining room with just a few select patrons, and the air was absolutely thick with the most intoxicating, magnificent aroma of exotic spices. A thoroughly charming gentleman of native Indian heritage, I deduced promptly extended a remarkably warm and dutiful greeting before escorting me to an excellent, highly comfortable table. To begin my afternoon refreshment, I requested a traditional Madras coffee from the menu. Within mere moments, it was elegantly presented to my table. I must be entirely candid: the flavor profile possesses a rich, authentic depth that renders standard establishments like Starbucks completely pedestrian. It was deeply satisfying. For my main luncheon course, I proceeded to order a personal favorite and the true crown jewel of the menu: the Chicken Dum Biryani. While I possess a great deal of experience with fine Indian cuisine, the execution of the Chicken Dum Biryani at this establishment is an absolute masterpiece. The layers of flavor were perfectly balanced, the poultry remarkably tender, and the entire dish was utterly addictive a total treat to the palate. The seamless combination of elite hospitality, intimate charm, and flawless culinary skill made for a magnificent afternoon. I am entirely enamored with this rare gem and shall most certainly be returning for future midday refreshments

When the young gentleman came to our table, we could barely hear him as he was talking low & mumbling. When we told him we were not there for the buffet, he seemed disappointed, almost as if he was thinking "now I have to do more work". We ordered from the menu, doing our best to listen & understand what he was saying / mumbling. This go visit we ordered a couple different samosas, gotta have me some naan!, chicken biryani, chicken mugulai soup, and some lassi drinks. The mango lassi was def the better one, the other was too salty. For dessert we ordered the kheer & rasmalai. The food was still good, but the service was ... well, it could have been much better. Not just the quiet, mumbling server, but having the dirty empty dishes (that we piled up on the corner of the table) sit there for far too long. And no, at that time of day, it was not full of patrons. Of the few others that were in there, they were all eating from the buffet; they didn't need a lot of service.

Mental note to self, go down a level in heat to a 2 when ordering because they do it spicy! Their garlic naan was awesome, and the Chicken Tikka Masala was wonderful. The portion size was just right. The true winner however was the Tandoori chicken. We did a half order of it, and decided next time we would do a full order and an order of the Butter chicken to split. The waiters and owners were very attentive, and it was a pleasant atmosphere on the inside. Parking is a bit tight out front but there is plenty of parking out back.

Our server was probably one of the worst servers I have ever had. Zero personality and literally never said one word to us. Several to go orders and Uber Eats people came in and out while we waited about 10 minutes. We finally told the man at the front desk that we needed to order and get some drinks. 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.

So when I say this place is the best, that means something. After 8 years of exploring Indian restaurants all across the Valley -- Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa -- Flavors of India consistently stands out above the rest. As a vegetarian, bold and complex flavors are everything to me. Without meat, you really need a kitchen that knows how to layer spices and build depth, and this place delivers every single time. The food is fresh, the flavors are rich and satisfying, the customer service is warm and attentive, and the prices are absolutely fair for the quality you're getting. This is my go-to, and it should be yours too. Hands down the best Indian food in the East Valley. I love the ambience. They're very welcoming and always clean.

We were first served a complimentary drink that everyone had on their table called buttermilk which was made with yogurt. We ordered the Chettinadu Mushroom Curry: Mushrooms cooked in a deeply aromatic Chettinad spice blend with cracked pepper. The sauce was delicious and it's a dairy free and vegan dish. The serving dishes were pretty. As we were finishing up the restaurant was getting fuller and it was fun to see everyone getting their thali meals. With us being the only non-indian people at the restaurant, It felt like a cultural experience in many ways that we really enjoyed. I would love to come back here for the vegetarian Thali.
