Nandini Indian Cuisine

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, […]

Native New Yorker

Everyone and their mother goes here for the delicious and many-flavored hot wings, and we admit we’ve had them, and they’re amazing. But we really dig the Spinach Artichoke Dip, delivered piping hot and topped with bubbly cheddar cheese and served with crisp tri-colored tortilla chips. We like to eat it with the Loaded Steak […]

Native New Yorker

Pretend you’re in the Big Apple at one of 20 Native New Yorker restaurants in the greater Phoenix area. The pizza doesn’t taste exactly like the real thing, but there’s plenty to go around, including the Meaty Beast (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, and meatballs) and Buffalo Chicken (spicy pizza topped with grilled chicken, hot sauce, […]

Nee House Chinese Restaurant

Stark, no-frills Chinese eatery with a wide selection of Cantonese, Mandarin, and Szechwan classics, as well as a few items you don’t always see, like abalone with sea cucumber and creamed corn chicken soup. (We don’t suggest you try those together, by the way.) Not destination dining, but worth a shot if you live in […]

Nello’s Pizza

If the moon were to hit your eye and it was a big pizza pie, you could be at Nello’s. We don’t think Frank was singing about it, but we think he’d be happy munching on some of the food that they’ve been serving for more than 25 years in the Phoenix area. The Tempe […]

Networks Bar & Grill

Politicians and power brokers are known to congregate at Networks, as are professional athletes, office workers, and well-heeled housewives. You’ll immediately notice a suit-and-tie crowd chatting on cell phones over their drinks, and, upon closer look, you’ll notice a more eclectic crowd of tourists and downtown denizens gathering at Networks, too. Located off the lobby […]

New Hong Kong Restaurant

Don’t be fooled by its once-grand appearance. Inside, this family-owned Chinese restaurant in central Phoenix is alive with authentic, flavorful Cantonese fare courtesy of Jian Yu, who was a chef in his hometown of Kaiping, a city in the Guangdong province in southern China, for over 32 years. Forget the Americanized menu and value buffet […]

New India Bazaar & Cuisine

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 […]

New Orleans Sno Ball

It’s nearly impossible to find a classic shaved ice place in the desert, but NOSB is ours. Any time of year, shaved ice flavored with yummy syrups is a light, refreshing treat. Morning visitors might consider the iced chicory coffee, spiked with half and half and vanilla syrup for a sweet edge; everyone else is […]
