CURRY UP

So, there you have it, two more great options for dining on Indian food in the Valley of the Sun. Though I haven't mentioned it yet, service at both restaurants is attentive, prompt and most cordial. I think your only problem now is finding time to start making the rounds.

Before another one opens.

Delhi Palace, 833 East University, #103, Tempe, 921-2200. Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; 5 to 10 p.m., seven days a week.

Taj Mahal, 8021 East Roosevelt, Scottsdale, 946-2890. Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; 5 to 10 p.m., seven days a week.

You know how sometimes spicy food seems to peak, then drop off? Not this dish. This spiciness was blowtorch hot and incremental.

You'll find beef dishes on the menu at Taj Mahal. Holy cow! Beef? In an Indian restaurant?
