We have been here four separate times now, and it has become our go-to spot for Indian food. We…read morereally love Indian food and have tried other places, but none of them do it like this location. Every time we come, we end up ordering the same thing because it is just that good. 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.

We picked this spot bc it is part of the Amex resy credit. Originally we came for restaurant week…read morebut decided to order off the regular menu. We arrived 30 min before our reservation, and they sat us right away. We got the tika masala fries (the fries were crispy and sauce and cheese were so good) and samosas chaat for apps (could've used more of the yogurt sauce, but def prefer this to samosas without the sauce). We opted for the onion naan, which was stuffed with onions and so flavorful on its own. I got the malai kofta curry- the sauce was so creamy (I got it at a spice level 6/10 but honestly could've gone higher). My husband got the chicken tika masala which he enjoyed, and at a 8/10 spice we could've gone higher. We also ordered the mango lassi, which was great and came in a Togo cup for easy carry out if you don't finish. The staff were super friendly and the decor was lovely. Our meal came out to $88 which surprised us bc it was a lot of food.

Just be careful -- the heat builds up slowly, so if you're not used to spicy food, go lower on the scale! The portions were generous, everything was very flavorful, and we all ended up taking leftovers home. What stood out the most was the service. Our server was funny, knowledgeable, and gave fantastic recommendations. There's also plenty of free parking, which is always a plus. The only thing missing for me was that the décor doesn't quite match the authenticity and quality of the food, which deserves a bit more character in the atmosphere.

I made the mistake of not asking how much a double Tito's and pineapple was, expecting around $15 max. Turns out it was $24!!! and they brought it out to me room temp with no ice smh.. I even noticed they didn't charge me for it initially, so in trying to be honest I let our waiter know and imagine my surprise when I saw that it was $24!!! I've been to concerts, Cardinals games and even Old Town Scottsdale and been charged less at for this type of mix drink at all spots. Food was delicious 5/5 stars, but watch out for those mixed drink prices yo!

We sat by the window and the shades were raised when the sun set. The service was excellent. Waris was our server and he was great! Offered recommendations and served everything in a timely manner. Food was good but be warned that even if you like spicy, the levels are legit! I got a 2 hot and I wish I'd gotten a med-hot. I love spicy food! 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.

I have given multiple 5 star reviews to the Dhaba, but our experience on Easter was not good. We…read morearrived at opening time and were seated immediately. We were the only ones there. 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.

This was my second visit to Chennai Cafe and this time I left feeling unwelcome and questioning…read morewhether I would return. 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 are from North Phoenix or West Valley, this is the closet place to get a MEAN dosa. All of the South Indian food is great here. 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.
