Craving Indian food. I have been trying to come here but downtown Phoenix parking is awful. This…read morego round I realize they have parking at 721 3rd street behind a building. Let's skip the parking drama and get to the food and restaurant. Well stocked bar although I didn't partake of adult beverages today. Instead I did the non alcoholic mango lassi (I had this drink for the 1st time at my new favorite Indian buffet & it was phenomenal there) so I tried theirs and it was banging too. 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. If you see my other reviews when I go to any special ethnic restaurant, when I see their culture eating there you already know it's going to be TASTE BUD HEAVEN. I did the chicken curry Tika masala, the bao bun, and garlic naan. Yup it was good as Heck. 5 stars every dish. Very pleased. I'm so relaxed with the music I want a coffee but I'm full.

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.

Thankfully, Namaste has a vegetarian section with vegan options on its menu. Good thing, because I was hungry. Can't really speak about smoky Indian food without mentioning baingan bharta, a smoky mashed eggplant curry which happens to be one of my favorites. Ordering this dish at a place like Namaste was a no-brainer. The smokiness, combined with the richness and thickness of the mashed eggplant, was really satisfying. The bhindi masala, tender-crisp okra sauteed with a spiced onion-tomato gravy, was a tasty complement, with a balance of savory, spicy, and tangy flavors. If you have any doubts about the menu, talk to the friendly servers. And make sure you specify the heat level. Medium-spicy is a proper medium; it is not mild. So, for those who are sensitive, make sure you tell your server. Enjoy!

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!

Where Hospitality Has a Name -- and That Name is Nigel In a…read moreworld of automated greetings and absent managers, INDIBAR feels like a different era -- where a restaurant is not merely a transaction but a relationship. Owner Nigel Lobo moves through the dining room not like someone inspecting his domain, but like a gracious host welcoming friends into his home. But here is where he enters the realm of the legendary: he remembers. A month ago, a dessert was unavailable. Nigel came to our table personally, apologized, offered two complimentary desserts, and promised chai biskoot on the house next visit. Most people forget. Not Nigel. On April 17th he kept his word without being reminded. And when we mentioned mid-meal that we had forgotten to order panipuri -- not even complaining -- he smiled and sent out two plates on the house. The food is magnificent -- elevated, soulful Indian cuisine that is both traditional and modern. But what INDIBAR truly serves is the increasingly rare dish of being made to feel seen. Five stars feels insufficient.

We kept the decision fatigue out by picking Chef's special 4 course meal and loved every dish served. I do not eat sea food so the one's who eat may love it. Other than that everything served was with grace, details and flavor. Will be back soon. Expect $$$ for 2 ppl, food quality is worth trying and sharing. Next time I would try a la carte than thali want to try more dishes. Ambiance was quiet, clean, spacious and high end. Liked the service overall.

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.

This is restaurant week in the area from 5/15/26 to 5/24/26. We had the prix fix menu and it was outstanding as usual. The atmosphere definitely says Fine Dining. The service is excellent and our server, Angelica, was no exception to the many great servers we have met over the years. Her passionate input on our selections was extremely helpful. They have a full bar. On this trip, the $44 steal of a price included 3 courses and a side of rice or naan. We started with the Bhelpuri Avocado which is like a mix of puffed rice and avocado. The contrast of the crispy rice and flavorful and creamy avocado was a server suggestion and I am thrilled she did. The table next to us was also vocally registering their excitement with the dish. My wife went with the Parsi Lamb Keema which is like having the popular street food, Pav Bahji with a fantastically flavorful lamb stew with just the right amount of heat, served with buns like sliders. For the main courses we had the ever popular and best ever Butter Chicken made even more enjoyable with a dip of the Garlic Naan made fresh in house to order. Super tender naan. I went with the other server suggestion of Fish Curry which was an incredible mix of very crisp exterior yet moist interior sea bass swimming in a delicious curry. Never ordered before but again, thank you Angelica. Finally desert was the Gulab Jamon Cheesecake. Unique and very tasty ending to a fantastic meal. Even if you missed restaurant week, this is a must visit place for foodies.
