New India Bazaar

I ordered for 10 people today and everything was absolutely phenomenal. Everyone loved their food. I recommend the Lamb Biryani!

Was there last night. Food was, as usual, good. One of my favorites is the Gobi Manchurian that is crispy and spicy. My whole family and my friends love this, so I was disappointed when the server told me they no longer serve this. Instead, there is only a Gobi Manchurian served with green peppers in a sauce with a side of rice. It tasted good, but isn’t the Gobi Manchurian I love.

We went here on a whim with a hankering for authentic Indian food, hoping it’d be one of those hole in the wall gems – and boy did we get lucky! The restaurant is in the room behind the grocery part. I loved looking through the grocery at all the herbs and different kinds of rice! The restaurant food quality rivals the best of the best. We tried the lunch buffet, which was also a great price at 7.99/adult. Everything we tried was very good… and I had a little of everything! :) The reason this gets 4 stars is the dining area is a bit cramped and close to the buffet line, so you will say plenty of «excuse me’s» whilst getting your food. Also, one thing that would make the food even better is to add more spices!!! I’m talking cardamom, fennel, more garlic – that sort of thing! Otherwise, impressive!

I’ve been here a few times, but have always missed the buffet which ends at 3pm. Today went with husband and for 7.99 it is truly a bargain. Not just for the price. The quality of the food is very good.

Butter chicken is amazing! Also a secret menu! recommend this for casual dinner or lunch! Awesome find.

Very bad Custmer service in Restorent. Your order something and gave you something else. The lady waiter she don’t know how to smile how to take the order and silver on right table.

It was one of the best Indian place I ever head, and I’ve tried many of them ! We were group of 10 people.
and we had beauty as our waitress she so generous and the food was delicious!!!

Very casual restaurant/​grocery store combo. Had the buffet lunch on a Sunday. Excellent. $ 8.99. See pictures. What’s different from the usual Indian buffet is the dishes here are Punjabi region. The dishes are mildly spiced, not hot at all. The flavors are very buttery and luscious. The butter chicken and the saag are really outstanding and great for vegetarians. I believe this is the region that tandoori originated, and here they do this type of Cooking terrifically well. There breads like Naan are just like back in the north Indian region. Yum. Wish I was a local, not just passing through.

Would not recommend this place (Rest section). Service is not good. Water glasses are very dirty. Straw is not served.

Oh wow. We went to this place Tuesday, November 17^th 2015. The grocery store looked average, and the environment smelled very authentic. Upon entering, I noticed that out of the 20 or so tables in the restaurant, only one was occupied. This was a little surprising considering it was right around 5−6pm; perhaps that was during their dinner lull in business.
My friend and I were told by a gentleman there to have any seat. As we walked towards a table, the hostess (I’m guessing) told us to sit at a specific table, near the end, right next to the other occupied table. I would have preferred to have some space, and there was plenty of it in the restaurant. Oh well, no problems.
After being seated, and looking over the menu, I placed my order for Chicken Tikka Masala, with the option of their Thali dinner. I don’t remember everything that was listed on the menu the the dinner contained, but I do remember being excited about the pickle in particular. My friend went to order, and the waitress just gave her a death stare, and suggested she tried something else.
Anyhow, an amount of time passes and the waitress brings out our food. We each ordered the full dinner, and it was delivered on what appeared to be a stainless steel dinner tray, more commonly used in the Army or in prison. There was no pickle to be found, but a strange assortment of extra items. Some mysterious white sauce (pudding?), which tasted strange. Some type of sweet potatoes, which was alright. A very very sparse, generic «salad» consisting of one slice of cucumber, one cherry tomato, a couple rings of onion and a few pieces of lettuce. There was also something I’m not sure what it was, some sort of nut thing with a vinegar-​type sauce? Tasted awful. But my main order, the chicken tikka masala was acceptable, and the naan was very good.
When we asked what the mysterious foods were, the hostess completely ignored our question. I asked for the check, and the hostess asked why I wasn’t going to eat the rest of my food. I told her I needed to get on the road and I had eaten everything I wanted, and the food was very good. She then told me I should try to buffet then, and pointed over towards an empty buffet that closed a number of hours earlier. I was confused by this. The hostess brings out the check for my friend and I (Separate checks). My friend puts cash in hers, and I put my credit card in mine, and we wait for a while for the hostess to come collect these and finish our business. Some time passes, and the hostess brings my friend’s book back with change in it, but we notice she is also palming a $ 20 — the same $ 20 my friend originally was paying with. My check was MIA, perhaps the credit card machine is taking a while to process? The hostess just wandered past us to the back of the store, where the $ 20 in her hand disappeared, and she just continued hovering around us giving us bad looks.
Perhaps 5 minutes later the hostess finally brings my card and receipt back, and then proceeds to stand there (With her hands full of our used dishes) and waits for me to fill out the credit card slip. I was not going to fill it out in front of her, and I’ve never had such odd service in my life. After waiting and realizing she isn’t going to leave, I just scribble in a small tip, close the book, make sure to grab my receipt and we get ready to leave.
As we proceed out, we noticed two cockroaches (live) on the floor under the table next to us. They most likely watched us eat our entire meal. All in all, the food was alright for what I ordered, the vibe and atmosphere was terrible (although the chair was not uncomfortable), the hostess was the center of my review though — she spent more time sending hateful gazes at us than anything. And then ignoring our questions, and just saying odd things, coupled with the overall odd feel of the place (no one else came into the restaurant in the over hour we were there), I would absolutely not recommend going here unless you want a story to tell. The service took a while, especially considering the other table had their food by the time we were seated. It took us over an hour overall for the entire dining experience, and it did not take us but a minute to figure out what we were going to order.
TL, DR: main course was alright; super weird and slow service, weird vibe, and lack of cleanliness = an experience to remember.

Awesome food. Never knew this gem was so close to me downtown. Loved it! Chicken curry was so good. Be careful. Mild is pretty spicy medium is very spicy.

Nice little buffet with a good amount of choices for the price, $ 7.99… Good service… Food was good

Best authentic indian food in Phoenix. Don’t bother with the other reviews on here I’ll tell you the real deal.
This isn’t a pretentious high class restaurant, it’s in the back of a grocery store, but with that said if you want the best palaak paneer or mango lassi come here.
You always feel like family here and will leave feeling satisfied but wanting more.

New India Bazaar operates a pretty on-​par indian lunch buffet experience. You have your staple items (naan, rice, samosas, chicken, and the little salad bar) at a reasonable price. Service is not the highlight of the visit but, hey, it’s a buffet. If indian buffet is your mood, take your appetite to NIB. But if you want some kind of romantic ethinic dining experience — well, taper your date’s expectations.

Food was amazing! I got the chicken curry thali dinner, and I am so stuffed.
The 2^nd time I went, I had the lunch buffet. It was awesome, as expected. I love the samosas and the tikka masala.
Good value for the quality and portion. As I had read the server lady is quiet, but kind like a mother. She showed me where to find the ingredients in the store part, when I had asked about the fennel mix at the counter. So sweet.
this is a must have if you are in Phoenix and are a fan of Indian food!

Not fancy nor do they have an extensive selection. In fact they are just a few chairs and tables in the back of an Indian market. But what they make they make well. I specially like their butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Their tandoori chicken is served on a bed of onions and is not as interesting. As well he just doesn’t stay warm. They serve absolutely delicious gulabjamoon (a syrupy doughball dessert) and have a decent Indian chai. Hot Naan is included

I use to love this restaurant until my friend found a roach leg in her water and there was stuff floating around in another. Disgusting! Never coming back here again. They still had the audacity to charge us after all of this.

Had lunch which is quite affortable, $ 7.99 plus tax. I would suggest you go early so that you can get the best selection and fresh food. Everything was nicely done, simple but tasty. It included chi tea, dessert, and salad as well. The place is not fancy but its clean, the staff is nice but not overly indulgent. That’s also a little sort of grocery store adjacent to the restaurant which makes for a good after lunch activity, like getting incense and whatnot. We will be coming to this place again soon.

This place was good, the staff was really kind and the place was really neat and tidy, and the buffet was only $ 7.99. My Wonkey and I went here because we love trying a variation of foods and I was set on proving I’d found our next great restaurant… an honor usually bestowed to him.
So when you walk in you enter through the grocery area. They have tons of speciality ingredients that are wall to wall along with little cultural mementos. After you pass through the grocery area, you enter a small dining area with about 10 – 12 tables. The women who takes your drink order is very kind and willing to explain the different dishes. The buffet had a great selection of things to choose from and they were all good, so I can’t pick a favorite besides I couldn’t remember the names if I’d tried.
I guess the only thing, I’d wished they had was this crêpe filled with yellow potatoes inside and methi mutter malai that I’d had at another Indian restaurant haha, but whatever maybe it’s served on a different day. Anyhow, They are definitely worth trying!

Small, well stocked Indian grocery store with a good lunch buffet.
Pros:
+Fresh naan that’s brought to you as you’re ready for it
+ Food isn’t too spicy for those with sensitive stomachs and/​or new to Indian food
+ Veggie samosas and mint chutney yum
+ Chai available in the buffet line
Cons:
— Gulab jamun too dense and not served warm
— Restaurant isn’t oozing with ambiance
All in all, quite nice, quite good.
