After quite a few revisits for our favorite's, I finally decided to try the Goat Biryani. What a…read morefantastic dish. I have heard quite a few waitstaff in Indian restaurants tell me that Goat Biryani is the best biryani. There may be something to that. The Wok & Sizzle version certainly makes me think it is a thing! The first surprise was the amount of Goat meat in the dish. Without question, the most meat in a Goat Biryani that I have ever had. On top of that, it is served with a fantastic sauce and Raita. The depth of flavor permeated every bite and it was delicious. Of course, we still had to have the Butter Chicken, which is our favorite dish but the Goat is super close. Thanks for another amazing meal!

I've always loved Indian food. As far as Indian food restaurants go, this one's ok. The dish I get…read moreat every Indian restaurant is Chicken Korma; the korma here did not taste like korma at all! The green curry was pretty good. If you were to order one dish, get a Biryani (we got the Meghana). The mango lassi was definitely different, but in an interesting way. It had cardamom in it, which is different than usual. The service was pretty slow. We didn't get one of our dishes until all the other dishes were eaten (at that point we were full). The restaurant itself is nice, clean, and modern. I don't think I would choose to come back here, but if someone invited me to dinner here I'd go with them.

Everyone was welcoming, the servers were very attentive and kind. The restaurant is kind of ducked off in a plaza but the inside was clean and spacious. 10/10 highly recommend checking it out!!!

Came here on a food hop to share a couple dishes and started with the gongura (sorrel) dosa which…read morecame with tomato chutney, coconut chutney and peanut chutney as well as a hot sambar. The gongura dosa was so delicious and the gungura was perfectly tart. We enjoyed the chutneys as we always do. The peanut chutney here reminded us of hummus a tad. The tomato one was my favorite and I liked the coconut one better than I expected. The sambar here was so delicious and a tad spicier than others I have had which I really enjoyed. I liked it so much that I decided to get a Vada sambar next. The vada was perfectly fried and still stayed crispy inside the sambar. I was interested in trying the battered Crispy Water Chestnut since I don't often see it on menus but decided to skip it after finding out it has artificial red food which I prefer to avoid. I was told that the curry leaf mushroom dish did not though. We ended the meal with a lifer for us- a traditional meetha paan breath freshener. I enjoyed the idea of trying this traditional end to the meal more than the taste and texture but really appreciate the experience. I was really surprised when the restaurant's staff told me to grab one by hand from a bowl of a bunch of them close together on the counter- seemed to not align with food safety laws and not be appealing. I really wanted to try one though so grabbed one from the very back that was still covered and used a napkin. When we walked out, I was offered some jalebi on the house that they were frying outside. I grew up eating Zalabia, the Moroccan version of Jalebi and haven't had it in years so this was a perfect touch and a great dessert to end the evening with. The whole restaurant is pure vegetarian which for an Indian restaurant also means no eggs. Lot's of dairy free vegan dishes too including the gongura dosa, chutneys and vada sambar we had. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

I absolutely love this restaurant! It's one of my favorite places to eat, and without a doubt the…read morebest Indian restaurant I've tried in Arizona. I've ordered several dishes here, but the Chicken Tikka Masala (pictured) is my go-to. I usually order it at a medium spice level, but if you're sensitive to spice, I'd recommend starting at a level 2 or 3. It comes with flavorful rice, and I always add an order of the garlic naan, which is the perfect complement. The vegetable samosas are also delicious and come with two dipping sauces that pair perfectly. The two women who usually help me, whether they're answering the phone or assisting me when I pick up my order are always incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. Their excellent customer service makes every visit even better. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so there isn't a lot of indoor seating, but it's located in a shopping center with plenty of convenient parking. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food in Arizona, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I've been back multiple times, and it never disappoints.

After my most recent visit, I don't think I'll be back. We went about an hour after they opened, and the buffet was already in bad shape. The chicken tikka masala tray was practically empty, and we had to fish around just to find a few small pieces of chicken. The rice was hard, like it had been sitting for a long time instead of being freshly made. They also got rid of the carrot dessert that used to be on the buffet (one of my favorites), so even the selection isn't the same anymore. The drinks and desserts were just as disappointing. The mango lassi was chunky and weird instead of smooth and creamy, and the rice pudding was so thin and liquidy it was almost like sweet milk. The only good thing was the naan bread, which was still warm and tasted fine. The staff has completely changed too. The younger guy with the beard and turban who used to be there is gone, and now it's a bunch of older guys who don't seem to know what they're doing. They weren't outright rude, but they seemed confused and not very engaged, and the buffet clearly wasn't being watched or refilled properly. This is not the India Oven I remember. Everything from the food to the staff has changed for the worse, and the overall experience felt sloppy and honestly a little gross compared to what it used to be.

THE BEST chaat I've had in the states…read more I have not had a single dish here that I have not been absolutely blown away by. We started coming here after our previous Indian spot closed down (RIP buzzing cuisine) and I cannot overstate how good this food was. The service was incredibly fast and the staff are very kind, and it's actually a pretty large place seating-wise. As others have said, I also asked for recommendations and the advice I got was super solid (mostly trying to gauge their spice level). It's $7 for a samosa chaat. In this economy. I have gone there on my lunch break to just grab a cheap bite 3+ times at this point and we have had 3 dinners from here as well. Aside from the pricing, the food itself takes risks that pay off extremely well. I often find myself going to Indian spots in AZ and feeling like the flavors have been muted or toned down to be more palatable and enjoyable for all audiences. Chaat Express does not cater to the unseasoned tongue and everything you get here is bursting with amazing, authentic combinations of herbs and spices. The flavors are just indescribably good. When BOTH of a samosa's chutney sauces are delicious (and especially when the red sauce is not overly-sweet), you know you are in for a treat. Their curries are made with the same ideology: bold, flavor-forward, and delicious. In addition, their meats are always bafflingly tender. Whether you get their goat or chicken, it will be cooked perfectly. If you're not a meat-eater, their paneer is also great and the texture is exactly what you would want to expect. I've also had their lassi, rice, and naan. I really like the way they do their naan. It's buttery but not overly-buttered, and always very fresh. Their mango lassi is also perfectly sweet with just enough of a hint of that tanginess that it stands out on its own. And again, for $4 you cannot beat that value. TLDR: this place NEEDS to do well or I will lose my mind. please come here. i am begging you to not let this place flop

Visited on a Saturday noon - to our surprise, it was lunch hour and only one table was occupied…read more Not sure if it was because of the heat that people didnt step out.. but usually places tend to be a bit crowded, for being in a very decent location. Anyway, so we ordered samosas, pani puris for apps. Ordered a soda and a Gud vali chai. The server or owner, didn't look that of people's person - being in a service industry ideally one should be. That was a bit of a surprise for us. The apps came quick. The pani puri was missing flavor.. the samosas were amazing. The soda came in first, but for the chai, my husband had to ask 3 times. And it came in between our main course, which was not pleasing for sure. Maybe they are short on staff, there was just one other table occupied so wonder why the constant reminder for a cup of chai which usually comes first... We had put in the order for the mains. Chole Bhature and Puri Aloo sabji. Here's the kicker - we weren't served basic cutlery and napkins. When we asked the owner/server got it along with 2 plates and a snarky comment followed "the main course usually comes in a plate, so usually we dont serve it"... errr - we didnt really ask for a plate, it was just napkins and cutlery.. so mannerisms aside (which need to be highly fixed) --- the food - The food was good - it was different than what we usually get in AZ. The flavors were robust, different, not too rich to make you uncomfortable if you have errands to run post lunch and give you a carb crash. But just the perfect amount of richness. It's a decent place, nothing super fancy. You can walk in with shorts, a simple tee and have a meal and it'll be fine..Don't go expecting it's a fine dining place. I am giving it a 3/5 only because, while the food wtv little we tried (We did not try the non veg) so lesser points for that.. it was GOOD. As a hard core Foodie and loving all cuisines, I expect a lot more from indian cuisine. So the 3 points honestly is all towards the food. The rest, could be made up with the place being very very slow and sort of boring for a saturday afternoon... and the basic service industry mannerisms which need to be pulled up.
