Akshu's Kitchen

I'm always excited when a new small business restaurant opens up, especially when they have a unique bakery/pastry section! Cake slices are $3.99, and are like the Indian version of the Asian/85 degC cake slices. The restaurant itself was clean, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back to try some savory items!

We came across this bakery/restaurant when we were near Arizona mills searching for a bakery. Wanted to give this place a try after looking at their pistachio cookie picture. They have a wide variety of pastries which are super fresh. So tried falooda pastry and it was very moist and delicious. Also tried vegetable samosas and they were hot and good. Prices are reasonable. Ambiance is simple to dine in. Service is attentive and good. Not a lot of people when we went in. Will give another try when we are in Tempe.

Food is wonderful and staff is very friendly. Staff were very patient and explained some of their less common dishes. 10/10 would eat again.

Small and unprepossessing, but don't be deceived. Food is outstanding! We had excellent dosa, outstanding pani puri (complete with a lovely lesson in how to eat the delicious morsels), very tasty butter chicken curry and garlic naan... everything clearly freshly made with a light touch and fresh, clean flavors. Same goes for the unique baked goods, from Hyderabad cookies to pistachio pastry. Service is extremely friendly and entirely worth the small effort it may take to understand the server's accent. This place, the people, and the food are the real deal. Don't expect fancy; the place is small and clean, but the stars are not for glamorous ambiance... they are for the delicious food and sweet atmosphere. Try it!

We went their for the 1st time this Friday and we will definitely be back for more. We ordered Paneer Tikka Masala as well as Chicken Tikka Masala and the Mirch Bajji as we enjoyed all of the dishes. We also took the Gulab Jamun cake home as it was outstanding not too sweet but light. Definitely going to try more dishes as well as desserts.
