"This place offers a daily lunch buffet for $15.99 that even has goat curry in it! Plus, you can always order off of the menu. But the biggest most amazing part is they have 13 different variations of naan bread cooked in the traditional tandoor oven! The staff is absolutely amazing. The owners are always there and they greet and serve you!"
"Hubs and I worked up an appetite after watching a movie nearby. We decided to check out Phoenicia Cafe. We were greeted and seated right away. The space itself is quite spacious and bright, with plenty of available seating.We ordered the following:Arabic coffee $4.99Shrimp ghallaba $18.99Gyros pita $10.99Baklava $2.99The coffee was fantastic. It was strong and unique. I really liked it. My entrée was the shrimp ghallaba which had shrimp, peppers, onions, tomatoes, carrots and rice and hummus. It was flavorful. The portion was quite generous, and I had to take some of it to-go. Hubs had the gyro and he said it was okay. Before leaving, I just had to try the baklava - we ordered it to-go and proceeded to eat it in the car on the way home. It was delicious! In fact, we wished we had ordered two!"

"I have not been back to Curry Corner for several years since my first visit. I am not sure why. We stopped by on Saturday after 12 pm and there were not many people yet. The service was good and the food arrived fast. Once we finished our lunch, this place was getting pack with dine-in customers and takeout customers.All four curries that we got were so delicious and full of flavor. Chicken was juicy and tender. They made the simple dal lentil curry so specifically good. Karahi chicken curry was so memorable and I could not stop enjoying it. Paratha bread was my favorite. It is lightly fried but still soft and not too oily.I want to visit their chai corner next door for some chai or lassi."
"Amazing Indian food!! Recommended by a friend for their authentic and delicious mix pf Northern and Southern Indian cuisine. The owner was super friendly and funny, she was happy to give her personal recommendations.Pretty chill/casual family friendly restaurant. Not fancy but such a gem. We enjoyed their spring dosa, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, butter chicken, and one more item I don't remember the name of...but these fried circular snacks where you put sauce in the center lol. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Tandoori chicken was tender and well spiced. The spring dosa had a nice cabbage filling inside.A little slow to give us water but they were so kind and chill about us bringing in some extra drinks and desserts to eat there. Definitely would return!"
"Tasty Chicken SandwichThink I found a new favorite when it comes to chicken sandwiches/strips/fries. The food at Chickii is really tasty. Chickii is serving up excellent fried chicken sandwich/strips with an Asian flair, and these sandwiches/strips are large, really large and I really like that you can customize your level of heat. I went with medium but on my next visit I might kick it up a level.On this visit we shared the chickii sandwich, tender meals, fries, drinks and the soft serve. Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served pipping hot . The chicken was so juicy, not over cooked like so many other places. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle and the fries were crispy served hot and the honey orange sauce was the perfect pairing.I can't wait to go back and try the wings. Delicious food, friendly staff, family owned. The owner even let us try a few of the sauces before ordering, hows that for customer service, we will definitely be back."
"Such a delicious eatery near the ASU campus! Prior to this, I hadn't had Mediterranean food in months because I had my fill in Greece a few months prior. This was an excellent meal to welcome Mediterranean food back into my cycle of cravings!I ordered the chicken kabob pita wrap, and the person I was with ordered the ghallaba. Both were SO flavorful! I loved the tasty garlic and tahini sauces that came with the chicken. The chicken was a little on the drier side, but the sauces made up for it. Everything was priced reasonably and portion sizes were just enough to be full for lunch. I'm already planning out the next time I come here!"
"Exactly the kind of spot I would frequent at least 2-3 times a week. It seems like this place is family-owned as well.The quality of the meat in their Gyro Entree was 10/10. Their pita bread and french fries were also very delicious, my toddler loved them.Hummus was also top quality.Overall, the pricing and quality of food here is amazing (especially during these tough times)."
"My husband and I have been coming to Al Hamra for years. It's our favorite Indian restaurant in Phoenix. The food is consistently great. The naan always comes out piping hot. It's never very busy.....sometimes we are the only people there, but they appear to do more take out business than dine-in. It's a pleasant place to dine-in......nice tablecloths and cloth napkins. There are usually two servers working, and we always get great service. Al Hamra will continue to be our go to for Indian food!"

The cuisine and customer service were definitely top notch. I walked in and was pleasantly greeted. I was very impressed with how clean the buffet was. There was a nice assortment of dishes including vegetarian and chicken that all looked amazing. I decided to try everything and was very impressed! The flavors were excellent and surprisingly nothing was too spicy for me. My favorite dishes were the vegetarian masala and the carrots. I loved the garlic naan that is made fresh for each guest and included in the buffet. The dessert was a nice finish to my meal. I will definitely be back to New India Gate for their delicious dishes that were bursting with flavor!

We were Looking for new places to explore, and options to dine in. Wanted to try Mediterranean and came across this little café in Gilbert. It was a week day and was pretty packed. There was a lot of orders for GrubHub and other online deliveries.The customer service was excellent. We were welcomed greeted and explained about all the menu items. We went with Greek fries, chicken Shawarma, and Philly cheese Shawarma.Everything arrived fresh and looking absolutely fantastic . The Greek fries was pre-loaded with cheese and ranch. We thought it was all right. The Philly cheese Shawarma was the best of all, the sauce was excellent the chicken cooked to perfection, juicy and tasty. Overall, we had a good filling meal. Upon checking, realized that this business has been there for 19 years and they have another branch in Tempe. We ended our meal with homemade baklava. Everything tasted good. The pricing is not bad and with tons of food, they hit ball out the park.

The food here is always amazing, especially their Thalis. My favorite is the Non-Vegetarian Thali paired with Garlic Naan. I took my niece there recently and started off by sharing an order of Pea and Potato Samosas. Perfectly crisp with a delicious sauce for dipping. We both had the Thalis and were extremely happy. I will say that the place looks like it's falling apart with a giant hole in the ceiling. In addition, the soda and ice machine were inoperable. At $13 for the super generous Thali plates, it is a great deal.

This review will be split into 3. Express version - try this place, you'll be amazed at the food quality, freshness, taste explosios, selection & serviceMinimal read - Opened since 2019, City Of Spice is literally the best Indian Food restaurant I have been in since living in the US since 99. Don't take my word for it, see how many other outstanding reviews COS has and visit. This is exactly what we did. The menu is extensively simple, there are so many traditional Indian dishes and many more tasty fragrant fusions which the owner excels at creating. Upon being seated we were given bottled water, no charge.... I've not seen another restaurant have this service, usually it's tap water, this is a great welcome. Come be treated as family by the staff and owners and enjoy the wonderful food.Extensive review. This has quickly become my new favorite, the owner Mr Azhar really made us feel part of the family on our first visit, making sure we knew exactly what we were ordering with their descriptive visual menu (ask for it). He and his son are working on tablet iPad menus this year so you can visually see and read up on his amazing food. Also very important to the owner is preference and allergies, Mr Azhar mentioned that he feels as a customer, you should have a choice that suits your experience and taste. If there's something that you cannot eat or do not like, they can customize your food experience. Ask about allergies is clearly mentioned on the menus. City of Spice takes passion in delivering a wonderful personalized eating experience. City Of Spice combines the Northern & Southern fragrant traditional foods and aims to bring some general favorite Indian food dishes you can find anywhere, but also has a passion to bring great unusual dishes to life. I consider myself an Indian Food pro, India food was a staple food option for me in London when growing up. City of Spice was able to customize an off menu dish for me and also surprise me with some wonderful new fragrant dishes. What was remarkable was that (if you see my photos) I ordered 4 different vegetable dishes and 2 Lamb entrees. Each dish was totally unique with flavors and ingredients. That was very impressive, most places the food tastes good, but the dishes meld into tasting roughly the same. Not here. While we were eating, another family had this huge pancake type dish delivered, it was like nothing I have seen before. We had to try it, Dosa, it's like a 2ft Indian crepe made of black bean and rice flour filled with a flavorful tomato based Spice and served with some relishes. City of Spice is located next to the bowling alley on E Bell Rd, plenty of parking,

We were a party of four each having different orders and unanimous 5 stars from each of us. My chicken sandwich was huge and the chicken breast was juicy and delicious. I will be back to this place on one of my many visits to Arizona to enjoy that chicken sandwich.

I came here to for lunch with a coworker. It was pretty busy so I was excited to finally try their food out. We both ordered the falafel pita sandwich. It was good but it was a little dry. I wish I would have gotten a side of tahini or tzatziki sauce and then it would have been perfect. The baklava was delicious! Definitely recommend. I like how they have a market on one side of the restaurant with lots of Mediterranean products.

My faaaaaavorite for kafta kebab and their chicken is so juicy! I love this place so much.I almost always get their combo with shirazi salad but sometimes mix it up and get the lamb, which is also super tasty. They are generous with portions as well.

I ordered take out last night. And I was pleasantly surprised to experience some delicious, quality food with perfect blend of spices and savory flavor! I had chicken tandoori, saag paneer, chicken tiki marsala and was pleasantly surprised it came with big container of basmati rice! I would definitely order take out again! Thank you for also having my order ready earlier than stated.

"Updated review:This place stinks now. Went there today and very dissatisfied. Smell was unbearable. They really need professional cleaning in their restaurant. Food quality is deteriorating too. Might not return soon here. ---------This place is definitely on my top list of frequently visited restaurant. If I have to suggest 3 things to anyone , then below is my list :1- Mutton thali 2- Chicken thali3- Chicken dum biryaniThali comes with so much stuffs that you definitely can't eat alone. Something or other will be left. Would suggest 2 people to share one thali.Most authentic biryani they have is chicken dum biryani. Other biryani options are just okay not so great"
"this is one of those International spots that you're not sure what to expect. We almost went to a different restaurant because we could not find the location and it's located back in the corner by a Indian market as you walk in it is very unassuming and similar to eating in a foreign country. There is not much decor, and I woukd not classify the dining area as elegant. I was here with five others and I was a bit apprehensive.The prices are fair and the menu items had standard Mediterranean cuisine with a few varieties. We ordered at the counter and then sat down. And then I tried the food. If you ever remember the raging Cajun chef from Louisiana named Emeril Lagasse, BAM!!!!!!!! The flavors and cooking style was incredible. Even the simple french fries were crisp and flavorful. The green sauce was phenomenal, and the rice was fragrant and flavorful. This food is cooked with love. This is a Mother's cooking from Ethiopia/Somalia and you can taste the difference. Imagine going over to your friends house to enjoy a home cooked meal. That is the inexplainable way the food tastes. I apologize because usually I take lots of pictures of the food but when I went to try a french fry and the next thing I know they were all gone. My Shawarma sandwich had soft and tender chicken meat and was flavored well, and that also disappeared and was gone. The other dishes disappeared faster than a new iPhone 14 left on the street on ASU campus. I can gladly say I did not eat the soda pop can so I have a picture of it and if you've never tried it, it tastes similar to red cream soda.I will be back, I'll bring reinforcements, and I'll take more pictures!"
"Dave's Hot Chicken only 23 miles from my house (instead of 50, the one in Gilbert)? Hallelujah! I love Dave's Hot Chicken. I think about it often, I crave it, I can taste it in my mind, I can't get enough! They just opened this one about 2 months ago in Phoenix. I decided to drive down there today to get some lunch.I got there, parked, walked in, and nobody was in line. Score! I placed my order for my usual....A #2, Hot, with upgraded cheese fries. Had some water to drink. Paid my money, took a seat, and waited for my food to come out. While I was sitting there, droves of people decided to come have lunch. The line went to about 15 deep at one point. They got everyone through pretty quick. My food came out pretty quick, within 5 minutes or so! How was it?Combo #2- My favorite! 2 sliders, and fries (upgraded to cheese fries). I love their buns, I love their sauce, I love their slaw, I love their pickles, I love their chicken tenders, I love the combo of flavors, I love the cheese sauce on the crinkle cut fries. It's a gosh darn perfect meal. I noticed at this location, the "hot" was much hotter than other Dave's I have been to (not complaining). Had to blow my nose quite a few times....this chicken was spicy, and I loved it! The tenders themselves seemed just a tad smaller than normal (still plenty filling and hung off past the bun a bit), but I didn't mind since it tasted so damn delicious and pretty much fit the bun perfectly.Service was friendly, and fast. Bathroom was a little bit unkempt (out of paper towels and running low on TP), but I've seen worse. I informed a worker about it and hopefully they took care of it. Happy to have this here! This is really close to where I work (when we were in the office), too! Hooray for Dave's in Phoenix. Make one in Surprise, please, please, pretty please! Thank you, and see you again, soon!"
"Last restaurant I tried in 2022, and I ended the year on a great culinary note! I don't eat Indian food super frequently, but I do really like it. I ordered on Grubhub and had my husband pick it up for me. He did have to wait a bit past the expected time, but not for a long time. I got spinach dal and 3 piece idly. I had never tried idly before but thought it was really good! I love any kind of lentil dish, and the spinach dal was amazing. Very spicy for me so I had to take breaks while eating it haha but it was so delicious. Really glad I got to try this place and their pricing is definitely affordable for the amount of food they give you! Would love to try something new next time!"
"FYI that in the weekend they don't have lunch specials. I had goat dum biriyani for it was delicious, but unfortunately the goat was still chewy.This restaurant is a small business family owned which is great. I love that the family were working together in this restaurant either taking orders, preparing the food and clean the tables. I heard kids giggling in the background, it's remind me of the old days.Thank you for your delicious meal and happy new year!"
"Delicious, fresh made food and great service!! We tried several items, and it's hard to pick a favorite! Everything well-cooked and flavorful."
"First time in at Gyro 101 in Phoenix, they have another location in Scottsdale. The Phoenix location has been open for at least two weeks. When you walk in you order your food based upon the menu and pictures on the wall. Prices are clearly posted and very reasonable. There was an assortment of fresh Baklava at the register so we added that to the order.There were three in our group and we ordered a couple of gyro wraps with an order of chicken tenders. Side orders included a Falafel plate, onion rings, Greek fries and bottled sodas.The food was very tasty and fresh. Great service, clean and good value. Happy we have a Mediterranean food option in this neighborhood. Put this one on your list."
"This is their second location after Glendale.I have tried a lot of items from the menu some of my favorites are~ chicken masakali~ chicken biryani~ mutton biryani~ tandoori chicken~ masala dosa~ dahi chaat~ palak paneerThe food is really good it's legit and authentic.Wait times are a little long during weekends.Definitely try the family pack biryani it's good value for money and comes with an appetizer.Cheers!"
"Well, it's just ok. First of all, the person behind the counter seemed agitated that I was ordering food from him. The curry is either separated or half oil. Naan was good but really thick. Samosas were good. Out of all the Indian places I've tried, this is my least favorite."
"We were hoping for some yummy Mediterranean food, but Kabab King was super disappointing. We ordered the Tandoori Chicken Kebab, Beef Koobideh, and the Greek Salad on DoorDash. While the food came quite quickly, it was ice cold. Everything was super, super dry. I currently have a sore throat and the Tandoori Chicken felt like swallowing knives, it was so dry! The Greek Salad wasn't awful-- hence the 2 star rating, but I would never return."
"I just had the most excellent lunch there. The chicken korma was delicious and full of flavor and was just the right amount of spice. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, and the dining room was very clean. The outside is very non descript but don't let that fool you. The prices are extremely reasonable!"
"The quality of their ingredients was top-notch. The chicken was juicy, the vegetables were fresh, and the sauces added just the right amount of flavor without overwhelming the dish. I ordered the shik shak shawerma pizza it was delicious!Service was efficient, and the staff were helpful in guiding me through the process of building my bowl. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, making it a great spot for a quick and tasty meal."
