Normally I am skeptical of anything with 5 stars, but less so when they have over a thousand…read morereviews or so. The Dhaba does not disappoint either, and deserve every five star review they get. Mental note to self, go down a level in heat to a 2 when ordering because they do it spicy! Their garlic naan was awesome, and the Chicken Tikka Masala was wonderful. The portion size was just right. The true winner however was the Tandoori chicken. We did a half order of it, and decided next time we would do a full order and an order of the Butter chicken to split. The waiters and owners were very attentive, and it was a pleasant atmosphere on the inside. Parking is a bit tight out front but there is plenty of parking out back.

I have given multiple 5 star reviews to the Dhaba, but our experience on Easter was not good. We…read morearrived at opening time and were seated immediately. We were the only ones there. Our server was probably one of the worst servers I have ever had. Zero personality and literally never said one word to us. Several to go orders and Uber Eats people came in and out while we waited about 10 minutes. We finally told the man at the front desk that we needed to order and get some drinks. Server came over with his notepad and looked at us to take orders, didn't say a word. When he brought the dishes, a few minutes later, he literally plopped all of them in one spot in the table without making any attempt to remember which dish went to which person. Very odd behavior The dishes on the menu are clearly marked vegetarian, vegan or contains meat. We had two dishes that were supposed to be vegan, one was a saag dish which they had placed butter over the top of. It looked delicious to everyone, but the vegans who could not eat it. When we pointed it out, they made no attempt to offer us another dish and just said oh yes, that's ghee (clarified butter) we said the menu indicated it was vegan, but again no response. The two vegans at our table just decided rather than argue, they will share the rice dish, which was also indicated as vegan. As they started to eat it, they realized there were several pieces of paneer in it. I really hope this was a one off because this was one of my favorite places to eat Indian food. Very very disappointing and no accommodation for the inedible dishes.

We were very surprised we were the only ones dining but we were extremely well looked after and welcomed. This is a family run business and you can tell. The owners are very proud of the heritage and their cuisine. We let our server (Mrs Owner) choose our dishes and we loved every one of them. The restaurant is a large space which is tiled and glass, so could get noisy if the room was full of people but somehow I don't think that will be too much of an issue. This review is 2months after we are there so I can't remember exactly what we had, but it WAS good. We always support local family restaurants in Tempe. If you're looking good northern Indian cuisine, you can't go wrong.

I've been wanting to try more Indian food, and they have a lunch buffet that's perfect for just that. All sorts of chicken dishes, vegetarian dishes, rices, dips and even desserts! Well worth it. If you don't have time to sit and enjoy, I've ordered food to go while popping into Trader Joe's or browsing through changing hands next door then picked it up. Give this place a try!! (Wish I took more/better photos, but I will next time)

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves one because of how poorly the…read moresituation was handled. I ordered Ajwani Fish Tikka and Mutton Rogan Josh through Uber Eats (see attached receipt). Instead of the fish tikka I ordered, I received a whole fish (also attached). I understand some people enjoy whole fish, but I absolutely do not. The sight of an entire fish completely killed my appetite, and it was nothing like what I expected when ordering fish tikka. I called the restaurant expecting a simple apology and a solution. Instead, I was told they had actually sent me a fish that was worth about $20 more and that I should be happy because I received something more expensive. I repeatedly explained that this was never about the money. I didn't care if the replacement cost more. I ordered Ajwani Fish Tikka because that's what I wanted to eat. Receiving a more expensive dish doesn't make it the correct order. Rather than apologizing or trying to make things right, I was simply told to "talk to Uber Eats." When I pointed out that the restaurant was the one that prepared and sent the wrong item, the conversation became increasingly hostile. The most disappointing part was the owner's behavior. When I said I would leave an honest review based on my experience, he became extremely aggressive, yelling, "Who the hell do you think you are? Are you trying to threaten me?" I never threatened anyone. I simply said I would leave a review reflecting what had happened. Mistakes happen. Restaurants send out the wrong food sometimes, and I can understand that. What I cannot understand is treating a paying customer with disrespect instead of professionalism. The food mistake was disappointing. The customer service was unacceptable. I won't be ordering from Avasa again, and I hope this review encourages the management to treat future customers with more respect.

During our meal we were each asked if we wanted a dosa and we replied "heck ya!" There were two choices and I got the one with potato inside. Sorry, I wasn't sure what the other choice was. The only thing that wasn't as appetizing was that we had to use paper plates on the buffet. We saw some of the other diners had real plates so I am not sure if they either ordered from the menu (which is an option) or if the restaurant just ran out of clean plates. This is definitely not something that affected my review and desire to return. We will definitely be back!

Takeout needed and this place has always caught my eye. They share a parking lot with Sprouts so I've been wanting to stop in. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala ($19.99) and the Khatti Dal ($10.99) for takeout. First of all, that chicken tikka masala was fire. It was aromatic, fragrant, and the spice level was perfect. The khatti dal on the other hand, it wasn't for me. Not to say it was bad, I just didn't quite care for it. Since it was a takeout order, I can't comment too much about the service but this place is massive. Plenty of seating, lots of parking, and great food. I would definitely order from here again.

I finally got around to placing an order for takeout. I ordered a tikka masala and a new-to-me dish khatti dal. The tikka masala slaps. Good heat at medium, super flavorful, and the chicken was juicy. The khatti dal was not for me though. It's a little too tangy so I don't think I'll be ordering this dish again. I like it. This place is really spacious and there plenty of seating. I would definitely order takeout from this place again.
