A Best of Phoenix winner in its previous incarnation as an Afghan restaurant, Kabab Palace is under new management as of December 2009. These days, the fine Indian dining establishment serves authentic South Indian and North Indian cuisine.
This pleasant South Indian restaurant in Scottsdale, from three Indian-born friends who attended culinary school together, features some of the Valley’s most vibrant examples of South Indian cuisine. Boldly flavored, expertly prepared, and packed with handfuls of ingredients like chiles, tamarind, ginger, cumin, and cardamom, don’t-miss dishes include vegetable curries of okra and stuffed baby […]
With a name that translates to “treasured foods,” the restaurant has the same owner, new management, and, instead of offering both northern and southern Indian dishes, now focuses on just the northern ones. You’ll find many familiar Indian dishes here, including several selections of thalis (meals made up of various small dishes), as well as […]
This culinary crossroads blends foods from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India, and each nation’s cuisine is as diverse as the restaurant’s staff of family members. Here, flavorful bowls of rusty red chicken tikka masala and plates of rich goat biryani sit alongside such Afghani specialties as yogurt-topped eggplant and giant potato pancakes. Start with very good […]

Yes, the dining room is handsomely decorated with murals and hanging lanterns; it also features an open kitchen clearly designed for […]
You won’t come to Nandini Indian Cuisine for its sleek ambiance or trendy menu. You’ll come to this modest Tempe restaurant for its Punjabi-inflected menu brimming with reliably good tandoori-style dishes, including a wonderfully smoky tandoori chicken and juicy, marinated lamb boti kebabs. You’ll also find a slew of creamy, buttery curries, including a spicy, […]
Hidden at the back of this small, Indian market is a no-frills Punjabi-minded eatery of top-notch chaat, or Indian street food offerings, flavorful vegetarian dishes, and less-successful meat-based ones. Try the popular samosa chaat, a dish akin to a savory exotic pie, for a light snack or appetizer, and then move on to stellar vegetarian […]

Easily one of the best, if not the best, purveyors of Indian cuisine in the Valley, brought to us by a big-city San Francisco team headed by owner Sunny Chopra and his way-talented Nepalese chef Mama Pokhrel.
