Star Of India - Phoenix

We were very disappointed this time! It was expensive and we had to wait for a long time like about 30 minutes for the food! It’s not worth the price! The Tandoori chicken was terrible, it didn’t taste that the chicken even touched the fire at all, it was just Trader Joe’s box chicken breast added some tandoori sauce! This is not Tandoori chicken at all! Looked like something from Panda Express. The lamb curry was also not good, it was very watery, and the lamb tasted like microwaved meat. The mango lassi was watery and way too sweet, got that fake sugar after taste, I don’t think there were real mango or milk in it. The Naan tasted like frozen pizza crust that had been microwaved. One star at least for the good service from our waiter.

We stopped at the closest Indian food restaurant to us on our way home. I am so glad we stopped! The spicy curry chicken, spicy chicken tikka masala with the amazing rice was delicious. Great appetizers and desserts! I’ll be back!

Our servers name was VJ. He was very polite and patient with us as we explored the menu. We ordered chicken curry, mixed grill, butter chicken, garlic naan, and another type of bread but I forget the name. Every dish was delicious! The flavors were so fresh and aromatic. The owner (I believe he was the owner) checked on us and my 11 year old son couldn't wait to tell him how much he enjoyed all of the dishes. My son talks about this place every day. We're going back this Saturday. Such a warm and inviting place with amazing hospitality. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on a gem of a place!

We were visiting from a suburb of NY, and can say that this restaurant ranks with the best we've been at. The food is ample, the price is very reasonable, and the food is excellent.

Possibly the best Indian food I’ve ever had in my 42 years! I can’t believe we’ve lived in Ahwatukee this long and haven’t tried it until tonight. If I felt comfortable enough to lick the plate, I would have. Went with my husband and 12 year old son. We all got something different but shared, everything was wonderful! The staff was friendly and attentive. Will definitely come again!
