What a perfect welcome to Phoenix after landing for a work trip! We headed straight here from the…read moreairport and were so glad we did. This is a family-owned Indian restaurant and you can truly taste the care in the food. The chicken masala and butter chicken were both incredibly flavorful, rich, well-balanced, and comforting without being heavy. Paired with fresh, warm naan, we were honestly in heaven. We ordered everything at a medium spice level and it was absolutely perfect, flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and exactly what we needed after a long travel day. We will absolutely be back next time we're in Phoenix!

I forgot to take a picture of the palak paneer but the aloo tikka was incredible and there is a picture of that as well as the menu. The vegetable samosa was excellent with hearty bits of peas and chunks of potato in it and the sauces that went with it were both equally delicious. I also order some stuff to go . Their goat Byrani is terrific and the raita was spot on . A little light on the flavor spices but still pretty tasty. Same with the palak paneer could have been a little more with the garam masala flavor but otherwise it was still good and worth the price. I'd definitely go again

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!

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!

Most astonishing authentic Indian restaurant.l've ever eaten…read moreat. I was actully introduced to this exceptional Indian restaurant by a gentleman from India and it's interesting. There are scores of Indian restaurants all over the area. But this is where I see the people of Indian descent, enjoying an authentic meal. The chef could give a master class on how it's done. My eggplant bharta from Northern India was butsting with exotic flavors. My companion who is very familiar with indian food , was just delighted and even ordered extra entrees to take home and enjoy later. She told me she had eaten at Indian restaurants in Chicago, Kansas City and other major cities.And this was the best she had ever had , as well. Our waiter Abraham provided incredibly detailed descriptions of the food. How it was prepared, the spices that were used and the chef even came out after the meal to show us the astonishing collection of spices this restaurant uses. We had a question about two of the white wines and which was better , and they actually got a samples of both , i've never seen a staff that was so proactive If you love great Indian food. We cannot recommend this restaurant more highly Thanks Marigold Maison.

This small restaurant has about four tables and offers counter service. I'm giving it four stars…read moremainly because of the friendly customer service. When I arrived, a couple of women ordered dine-in, and their food looked great. I asked the counter server what they had, and he offered me a taste of the Chicken Pakora. It was hot and fresh, and I enjoyed it. That said, my experience with the butter chicken was disappointing. When I got it home, it smelled good but looked off. For $19, the portion was small, about the size of a to-go soup cup. It was brown with green specks, and I think I might have received the wrong order. I decided to try it anyway, but the chicken was cool in the middle and dry. The rice was lukewarm and dry as well. I could only eat one piece of chicken because it didn't taste fresh. It seemed like it had been made hours earlier and just reheated. The sauce wasn't great either. Overall, it was an unpleasant dish (see photo). I might give them another shot, but I'd stick to dining in next time.

India Palace on Bell is one of those strip-mall places that completely overdelivers…read more The lunch buffet is an amazing value. Not just cheap and filling, but actually good. 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.

We arrived around 530pm on a Friday night, and were the first people to arrive, but when we left around 630pm it had definitely picked up! The inside was clean was lots of places to sit, and a small bar area in the back! We started with an order of samosas which were delicious! 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.

Biryani was one of the best I have tried in the valley. They are very underrated now that I compare with other Indian restaurants. Flavor, spice levels are good. Decent quantity. They made sure to add more paneer as per request. Order was ready by the time I went for pickup. Restaurant was clean but plates on some tables weren't cleared. Plenty of parking. They seriously need to promote their business with some offers as they have very good potential.

We went with egg dosa, andhra chicken fry, garlic naan, paneer tikka and goat biryani. Egg dosa barely had salt and was just alright. Chicken fry and paneer tikka wasn't anything out of ordinary. Goat biryani was flavorful but the goat had the meat smell and that shows the restaurant is still not ready yet! It was just an alright lunch and hope it gets better. Pricing is a little on the higher side. Overall it was an average place.

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.
