More than what I had expected, place is very clean and it’s a pure vegetarian restaurant… Loved the place, will be coming frequently from now on…

Bought a cake for new year celebration. It was so expensive and not fresh. It was waste of Money. The service needs to improve. Food is ok, not bad.

When this restaurant opened near my house, I was so excited. I frequent a few of the Indian restaurants nearby, and I was pretty thrilled for one in walking distance. Sadly, I’m going to keep driving further away. 1. The food just isn’t very fresh-tasting, and the portions are tiny(for the same price) in comparison with their nearby competitors. 2. They have a huge menu of bizarre choices that combine Italian, Mexican, and Indian flavored for no discernible reason. I don’t want Mexican cheese and Chinese noodles in my dosai. 3. Service is very slow. I love that the restaurant is close by, but it’s not good enough to bother coming back.

Ordered dahi poori and bhel poori — both of them had stale chana, making them stale as well !! Masala dosa — was so okay !!

Stale paav bhaji bread. Didn’t even have expiry date on the pack. Soggy samosa and kachori. I wouldn’t go there again.

Rip off roti. Good part of this restaurant for me is that this is s vegetarian only that I prefer. Also the set up is contemporary. Visited this place twice and had similar experience. All platers other than Undhiyo costs $ 4:99. Need to buy separate rotis for these that costs $ 1:99 for a very small roti, that is a rip off. You need 4 rotis at a minimum for an average eater like me that brings the price for one set of roti/curry to $ 13 + tax which is not worth. Also on both the visits, though I was fine, both my wife and children did complain about stomach upsets. Happened twice and that is something I will have to take it seriously

Pathetic service, attitude of the people who work here is horrible. They think they are doing you a huge favor. If you order 3 things, you won’t get your order together. I ordered 2 masala dosa and a samosa chat. Got samosa chat in 15mins after ordering, then after 40mins got a dosa and another dosa after 40mins. What a joke!!! Stay away from this place.

So I love dining out and would love eating outside almost at most of the places. Sometimes the thing I don’t like about some of the Indian restaurants(and I’m not generalizing anything here) is that they just take it for granted that Indians will visit a restaurant like this and it does affect in a way how they provide service thereby. I was told that they can’t split the bill as there are a lot of people waiting in the queue. I mean, what? Ofcourse I didn’t act right then but didn’t feel happy at all. The food overall was okay there are a lot of factors which determine a restaurant’s quality.

I loved the cup cake and pineapple pastry super yum. Dahi sev poori is a must try. I was surprised to find undhiyo poori which is a Gujrati speciality my husband loved it. It was crowded but it felt like India(home away from home) will definitely recommend to my friends Veg puff for 1.99 $ is a great snack with chai

This being my second visit here I can pretty much conclude my experience here with 2 stars. Let me start off with the positives. The place has a really huge dining area with great Indian music and really courteous staff. On my first visit here we ordered paneer puff(3⁄5) mushroom puff(3⁄5), pani puri-(what the heck?!?) and chole batura(decent). We weren’t sure if we’d come back as the food did not knock our socks off(really good Indian food usually does) plus it’s an all vegetarian restaurant. My second visit here today was because I happened to be here in the area during the lunch hour. I decided to take the special lunch box which comprises of 2 curries, naan bread, rice, raita(yogurt) and a dessert. Today they had palak dal and paneer masala, naan bread, raita, rice and gulab jamun. I KIDYOUNOTWHEN I SAYTHEQUANTITYOFEACHWASMUCHLESSTHANIFYOUWERETORECEIVE A SAMPLEOFEACHITEM! Did not even have enough gravy to finish my meal and I was still so hungry by the end of it I ended up ordering Hakka noodles and chilli gobi. The Hakka noodles was mediocre at best, the chilli gobi tasted good though not really of the authentic chilli gobi. But it tasted pretty good. The place has average vegetarian Indian food and may have more items on the menu which could be good, but I don’t think I can stress enough about the quantity of food you receive for the prices. Especially the accompaniments. And when there are better Indian restaurants serving better food around. The lunch box is a total rip off, more like a snack box. This maybe my last visit here as neither the quantity can be justified nor the food is punch-you-in-the-face-fantastic.

Overall good experience !! dahi puri and Chole bature were tasty . Veg manchurian was very sweet and non cooked. Dahi wada was ok ok if curd have been little bit sweet and cold then It would tasted delicious!

Wanted to check this new restaurant in the neighborhood and ordered take away for dinner. Now we regret. WORSTFOODEVER! Ordered veg kothu parota, Hakka noodles and fried rice. Kothu parota quantity was very less for the price and was not fresh. Looked like it was made out of frozen parotas. Fried rice looked like left over rice mixed with some sauce and carrot. Highlight was the Hakka noodles(!!) . No GOOD words to describe what we got. None of the food was edible. Tasted so weird that we ended up thrashing them all. We ordered these as we know how delicious they taste back in India. We didn’t expect it to be good like that but atleast it should show some justice to the name. I don’t think we would ever go back there. Wish Unilocal had negative rating!

Short version: pathetic service, pathetic ambiance, value for money is okay and taste is good. Overall a negative experience. My suggestion, get takeouts. Never make the mistake of dining in. Long version: There are no suppliers. They give out table numbers and announce the orders over a mic(like a karaōke mic). The mike often picks up static and ends any possible ongoing conversation. Once your table is called over the mic(which could be multiple times depending on your order) and you have to clumsily walk through a line of waiting people and pick up your food, to be called back again in 2 minutes. The quantity of food is pretty bad. For a masala dosa they gave me about 20ml chutney(I wish I was kidding). When you ask any staff for a refill, they curtly point you to the same pickup area, to go ask the staff there. As if asking them for a refill is a blunder and providing service to you is repulsive to them. The food itself is not bad. It is in fact better than most if the Indian restaurants I’ve tried in Phoenix. Advice: Never dine in. Get take out.

The restaurant is pretty new which is a sister concern of Chennai Chettinad. Has lot many options to choose from. I ordered plain paratha and mini idli which tasted just OK. The paratha had oily smell and mini idli was too dry for my kid. So the taste is just OK and not that great. The food is served with small plastic plates which is not comfortable. The price is reasonable. Would give it a second thought to visit again

Here is the breakdown of my disappointing order. Pani puri — as for all the key to pani puri is water. The water was bland with taste of tamarind or any spice is a distant thought! Basically it was nothing more than salt water with pinch of green color. Lets not discuss how was the puri. Bhel Puri — to be frank american snacks are spicer than this! Worst i ever had Delhi Chat — Brace yourself for biggest disappointment. Being from Delhi I would want to sue them for defaming delhi chat like this. And obviously 1 star is for ambience!

I have been waiting for such a restaurant in Phoenix area. After passing by several times, I finally went inside this time. I was amazed to see the ambient inside. They have huge space for dining. Being a vegetarian, I believe that they have the best and longest menu than any other restaurant in town. A quick lunch costed me about $ 6 that was incredibly tasty and nutritious at such a price. Above all, they have a wide variety of ready to pick fresh Indian snack and sweets item that were never available in shops. I will be updating my review after visiting there several times. Definitely recommending to try, you would love it!

Very friendly staff. They had not problems with us asking questions and taking our time with the menus. The selection is huge! On top of all main course chooses, they have deserts on display that are gorgeous. You can even choose between egg and non egg made for those that don’t eat them. There is an ice cream bar and more treats on the other side. The samosa were amazing! Plus the strawberry mouse was heavenly!!! The inside is clean and has bright colored paintings that could make this a really trendy place.
