Came to Tahoora Grill for their Sunday brunch - it was absolutely delicious! We had all of the traditional dishes: paya, nihari, chanaa poori, sooji, tandoori chicken, palak and so much more. Everything was fresh and the spices were on point. Would definitely go back. Yum. read more

This place is one of my favorite restaurants for that lovely Sunday buffet I ate two days ago. i consider a visit to Tahoora to be a reward or treat I give myself not as often as I would like because it makes my mouth so happy I eat too much. The variety, delectability, and service are just right, the price is low for the value, they don't waste time or money on anything but making delicious food, replenishing it well and cheerfully. It definitely feels "family" enterprise in the best way and I hope they live long and prosper. If I've got a guilty secret to share its that poori, included with the buffet, just ask, and a hot puffy one appears glistening and pale, thin and delicate, just slightly yeasty and sweet. I have to consciously control my desire to discard all semblance of civility in getting all of that luscious thing in my mouth at once. But I control myself and sip the lovely hot tea in between bites. Actually, I can't believe I can get a table here, it should be overrun every Sunday with a line out the door. read more

Interesting place, Friendly people, Great Food! This place was recommended to us by a Bangladesh couple we chatted with at Chan Pen... finally decided to give this place a try and loved it! Chicken Tikki Masala, Naan, kabob, rice with carrots and raisins was delicious! Can't wait to try the Sunday Buffet :) read more

Loved the low-key, culturally rich hot spot which was packed at sunset during Ramadan. The buffet was ample, and every selection was just full of flavor. Meats were tender and moist. Their homemade naan was the best. Made a bowl of yogurt, fresh chopped cilantro, and a coriander-mint chutney to dip breads and put on foods and we consumed two bowls of it. The staff took great care of us. As it was sundown at Ramadan, every table was full of families breaking their fast. We were the only caucasian people and felt blessed to be sharing this meal among so much culture. While it's not fancy at all - a hole in the wall basically with plain floors and tables, no decor to speak of, the FOOD WAS PERFECT. Would definitely go again. I highly recommend going at sunset during Ramadan and feel the experience as well as taste the food. Closes pretty early but they were staying longer for the crowd. Buffet was the only option on this Sunday night and it was $14 per. read more

I've had outstanding food here every time I've ordered... I've only done take-out but I'll be in soon to try Sunday Brunch and the buffet. Seasonings are on point - fresh ingredients and bright flavors. Portions are large so I usually get at least two meals out of one takeout order. Love! read more

Food is good, people are nice. They cook everything fresh and authentic. I go there once every week to enjoy the Kabobs. Best kabobs in town. read more

Great authentic place for afghan, pakistani food that serves naan, curry. Very tasty and delicious.

Consistently good food here. The tandoori chicken and the biryani are excellent. I wasn't particularly impressed by the quality of the buffet but it did offer a good variety of food. read more

If you're vegetarian don't bother coming here : the limited selection Is also not well done. Too sweet to qualify as Indian food. Afghan is the closest - the non veg selection seems extensive but don't know what that tastes like, I'm still an animal lover. read more

A hidden gem in Arizona! I actually have driven past this place on so many occasions not paying much attention. Well,Tahoora Grill is worth paying attention to. The food is amazing. I would like to tell you what our favorite is, but every single thing we have tried has been wonderful. It's a great combination of Indian Pakistani Afghan food. I have to say the garlic naan is as good as bread could possibly be. I love the chicken tikka masala and the lamb chops are sooooo yummy! The rice will be your new favorite once you try that. And most of all, let's not forget the chef/owner. Mamoona. She is just as kiind and welcoming as her food is fantastic. This girl gives this place two thumbs up. Oh and if you need catering try giving something different a try because they can handle a group of any size at super affordable prices. read more

I would recommend the Chicken Bihari Kebab and Chicken Malai Boti. Love the Halwa!

Chef Hilal's food is filled with flavor. Their Sunday buffet allows you to taste the most delicious options. The staff is friendly, and the times we have visited the restaurant is filled with families. The setting is as basic as it gets, but with food this good, who needs more? read more

I have been searching for a good Indian restaurant for months. And we found it! This is probably the best Indian food we've ever had. I highly recommend it. We've never eaten in the restaurant only taken home, this place is amazing. Try it! Particularly love the chicken Haandi!! read more

Very good customer service. Food is good too. Nice people. Tried the buffet on sunday.

Service was really bad, long wait for food. Staff is so disrespectful. Would not recommend this place.

Went for Sunday brunch. Steady stream of customers. Place is clean and spacious. Only annoying factor was the music that played loudly the same tune over and over making it hard to enjoy the food. The food was delicious which seemed made with loving care. The brunch selection had a lot of meat selections, beef, chicken and goat. Perhaps the a la carte menu had more vegetarian selections which I'm not sure of because menu wasn't available. Almost all the customers were doing the buffet which cost $14.99. I thought the price was high considering the selections available today. Food is tasty but pricey. I went there because of the excellent review on Yelp but was a little underwhelming to be honest. Servers were quick to clear the tables and brought to table piping hot poori which looked like thin puffed naan bread. Tasty but oily. Maybe I'm used to the usual Indian buffet places where menu rarely offers a variety of meat except for chicken. Now this restaurant's chicken tandoori which they call chicken tikka is superb, moist and tender. I usually don't like chicken tandoori because they're invariably dried up and tasteless at other places but that wasn't the case at Hilal Grill. I ate 3 delicious pieces! All in all, was a good quality buffet except for that music!! read more

The best Pakistani food in the valley. Try their Chicken Karahi or Nihari

The dessert was great! Palak paneer was okay but that's to be expected at any restaurant. A great place to try Indian/Afghan/Pakistani food if you haven't had it before. read more

Frequently come here on Sunday for the buffet. Great options, fresh food, and authentic. If there in Sunday also ask for an order of puri which goes great with the Chana. Enjoy! read more

Love this place and especially the buffet. The best Pakistani food in Phoenix hands down.

I'm shocked by the positive reviews. Ordered take out and the man answering the phone acted like he had never taken an order in his life. Towards the end of the conversation he abruptly hung up without asking my name, phone number, or telling me when to pick up. Thinking we were disconnected prematurely, I called back. He seemed testy. When I arrived 15 minutes later the same dude was caught off guard and had forgotten my order. He scrambled to the kitchen. While waiting, I sat down and the patrons eyed me lasciviously. I have never before wanted to hide in a burka, so that was a first. Onto the food! The sag paneer was drowning in oil. I had to throw it out. I ate the chicken tikka masala because I was realllllly hungry, but each bite was disappointingly oily and chewy. The naan was ok, not particularly good or bad, but thankfully not loaded with oil. Bleh. read more

Food was mediocre. The curries just tasted like tomato paste. Needs more spices. WAY too much oil!!

Restaurant itself I rate 0/5. pouri chohlay 3/5 and chicken handi which I read so many good reviews 3/5. Overall 2.5/5 typical Arizona desi food place taste wise. However serving samosa for free as an appetizer was very nice of them. read more

Disappointing food and not a great place. I felt like I walked into another country and not the nice part of it. The dining area is 4 white walls simple tables. We went for Sunday buffet. Smaller selection of food compared to other similar places (like indian restaurants). Very crowded. it was just me and my wife. The cash register person was surprised it was just two of us. The place was packed and my wife (blond hair american) stood out among others. The food was mediocre. In middle of our meal, we noticed that the restaurant was full and they seated half a group and were looking to find table to seat the rest of the large group and they kinda hinted that they wanted our table. I don't recommend this place based on food, the experience there and also $15 per person is steep for this kind of food. We decided to try someplace new and it didn't work out. Maybe it was just an off day for them. But I won't be going there any more. read more
