    My friends were having breakfast and I stopped by. Tried their dosae , it was not a typical Mysore style dosa if you are looking for that. But otherwise it was good. The chutneys and sambar were all really good. Also had some veg kheema biryani and jackfruit biryani, both had very well balance flavor for the biryani with the masalas. Even their apricot based dessert was really good. Service was quite fast.

    One of the newest Indian restaurants has opened in Chandler at the spot where Nando's used to be. The location is perfect--right near office spaces--and the restaurant itself is huge. This is a pure vegetarian restaurant focusing on South Indian breakfast and lunch. We visited on a Friday afternoon for lunch, and the first thing that stands out is the interior. Word is that they've invested heavily in the space, and it definitely shows--everything looks clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. The menu is accessed through a simple QR scan and offers a wide variety of options. We ordered the vegetarian thali, which was beautifully presented with multiple curries, rice, puri, a sweet, and accompaniments. It was a satisfying and filling meal. While the food was good, I wouldn't call it exceptional--there felt like something was missing in terms of flavor depth. Service was quick and efficient, the staff was attentive, and pricing felt reasonable for the portion size and ambience. Overall, it's a solid addition to the Valley's Indian food scene, and I'd definitely like to return to try other items on the menu.

    The decor is very nicely done. The food was very good. However, we will not be returning. Had to scan for the menu. I ordered the Thali lunch and told twice not to share before it was brought to the table. Also told that they do not provide to-go containers for thali. We did receive a tiny container for the chutneys provided with our naan. So I made a valiant effort to stuff my leftovers into the container. I paid at the counter because the waiter was MIA. Lastly the waiter asked if we paid while we were leaving. Too many rules here.

    Stunning Ambiance - you can definitely tell they spent a lot of money and time on making the interior feel upscale and luxe. Service was incredibly attentive and answered all of our questions. Sai made several recommendations and we enjoyed all of them. She is the type of server that any restaurant would be lucky to have on staff.

    Great service and Food was excellent. Ambiance is also very nice. We tried Thate Idly, medu vada and Two different kinds of Dosas. Filter coffee and Salt Lassi was also very good. All their chutneys and Sambhar was excellent. Servers are very attentive and provided great service. I would recommend this place for South Indian food.

As a health food vegan, I am always on the lookout for food like this: whole foods/plant-based, including some oil-free options. Their whole menu reads like a list of my favorite food buzzwords: buckwheat, lentil cauliflower scramble, sunflower seed meat, local fermented sauerkraut, freshly milled Sonoran wheat; tempeh, sourdough, homemade seeded bread, homemade cashew milk, etc. etc. It was legitimately hard to decide what to get. I went with the baked(!) strawberry banana oat buckwheat pancakes. Super tasty, and a generous portion. I also couldn't resist an oil-free sunbutter cookie (with its wacky bluegreen tinge that was apparently from the sunflower seeds) and also loved the cold brew coffee with cashew milk.

It is a little pricey, however, it's worth the cost. As I mentioned, everything is healthy and made fresh.

They are a small husband and wife run business, which is always great to see. They are very friendly people who clearly love what they do. There's limited seating indoors, as it's inside Barnone, but you can easily find places to sit outdoors as well.

For appetizers we tried the whipped goat cheese spread and wagyu meatballs. I thought the goat cheese spread was delicious! For entrees we choose the pasta pomodoro and the farmers market pizza which were both very tasty. The pizza had so much flavor l, especially the crust, and the texture of the pasta was perfect!! For dessert we tried the affogato and apricot cheesecake. Oh My Gosh that cheesecake was the BEST dessert I've had in a while!!!! You have to try it and I can't recommend it enough!!!! I can't wait to come back!!

    NOT WHAT YOU THINK…read more The Spitz moniker is derived from the rotating BBQ spit, middle-eastern style rotisserie used to slow cook their meats. The name of this restaurant isn't very becoming. But you will be coming regularly once you try this place. Mediterranean food has worked it's way as a staple across the country because of the use of numerous spices, it has an undeniable bold flavor that has become a favorite of the American diet. Here is no exception and lives up to the Mediterranean flavor profile expectations with an Americanized twist on the ingredients. I ordered on the app and found it quite user friendly, which encourages me to get food here more often with the ease of use and simple interface. You have to ability to add or omit ingredients from the menu items which makes for a very satisfying customized meal (and only have yourself to blame if it is a displeasing combination) BERLINER WRAP- meat and veg all in a flatbread wrap. There's a lot of ingredients packed in this thang, so for me, I had to use extra sauce to dip and coat it all in flavor. The problem with these wraps though, is that the paper it wrapped in was getting stuck to the bread and would have to constantly peel it off that thang and it was a mess, unless you just don't mind eating the paper for some extra fiber. MEDI BOWL- The bowl was felt healthy and hearty; an all-around good dish. The crunchy garbanzo beans were a nice element to contrast against the other textures in the bowl. Again, i liked it with more sauce, but that's just me. Everything tasted fresh and delicious and I want to try the other menu items in the future.

I ordered the Masala Dosa and it's a new item for me. Masala dosa is a popular South Indian dish consisting of a crispy, savory crepe (dosa) made from fermented rice and lentil batter, which is stuffed with a flavorful spiced potato and onion filling. It was served hot with complementary side dishes like sambar (a lentil-based vegetable stew) and two chutneys, one of which was a fragrant coconut chutney. I had a fun time and a delicious lunch with my spin class crew. Arguably, we had the best legs in this spacious, clean eatery. I am DEFINITELY coming back to get more dosa.

The sauce was luxurious without being heavy, the cheese was indulgent, and the naan was perfect for scooping up every last bit. This spot proves vegetarian Indian food can be bold, comforting, and satisfying. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. Highly recommend if you want flavor and a meal that makes you pause mid-bite like, "Hold my gym bag, bro."

Tried again on a Wednesday. We were able to place order immediately. It's worth it! Green Corner- It's Tucked away in a strip mall in Chandler, this Mediterranean restaurant is all it's hyped up to be. Customer service was excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The dining area was clean and well maintained, with spotless tables and restrooms, which always makes a great first impression. We ordered two chicken shawarma plates: one with fries and hummus, and the other with salad and rice. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the fries were crisp and well-spiced, and the hummus was smooth and delicious. We also tried the C1 combo Arabic style, which came with half chicken, half beef, and two sides. Both proteins were excellent, and the garlic sauce was a standout--we absolutely loved it. We couldn't help but notice many other customers enjoying salads, all of which looked fresh and generously topped with crisp vegetables. Portion sizes across the board were very good, leaving us satisfied with some to go. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back and can't wait to try more from the menu.

The kofta was great as well but would definitely come back more for their shawarmas but it's definitely the best bang for your buck I also got some baba ganoush on the side to dip my fries in but unfortunately, I thought the baba ganoush was too lemony/there was too much sumac added so it wasn't as enjoyable. Most baba ganoush I've tasted in my hometown also had a smokey flavor to it from the eggplant so it really couldn't compare.

The elevated atmosphere struck the perfect balance of upscale and inviting. Party of four--two of us visiting from San Antonio (so yes... we take our Mexican food seriously), and two who were honestly a little hesitant walking in because the menu isn't your typical Tex-Mex lineup. But let me tell you... by the end of the night, everyone was completely sold. We kicked things off with the shrimp aguachile verde, chips, salsa, and fresh guacamole--bright, fresh, and packed with flavor. Every bite felt intentional and elevated. For entrées, we went all in: Sonora taco, green enchiladas, bacanora tacos, and green chili cream enchiladas. Each dish had its own personality and depth--this is not your average Mexican restaurant, and that's EXACTLY what makes it so good. Service absolutely matched the food. Jasmine was incredible--warm, attentive, and genuinely engaged in making sure we had a great experience. Then manager Kevin stopped by personally to check on us, which took things to another level of hospitality. And just when we thought it couldn't get better... dessert. Kevin brought out an off-menu, down-home key lime cheesecake recipe from his mom--paired with fried ice cream--and WOW!! Easily one of the best desserts we've had in a long time. If you're hesitant because it's not "what you're used to," lean into that. This place is authentic, elevated, and absolutely worth it. We'll 100% be back.

We decided to sit at the bar. There were three male staffers.They seemed somewhat friendly, but didn't go out of their way to engage with the guest as much as they did each other. We started with a few drinks since happy hour was still going and had about 30 minute's till it ended. Also, we decided to get a few foods to share-that were a really good deal versus their regular menu prices. Got the Caesar Salad that was extremely salty! Did a side of fries which come with 3 dipping sauces and their valley wings which were both very good. My son got (as his main meal) the Aftermath Burger and tots which he seemed to enjoy. My husband had their burrata salad which was surprisingly delicious. Fresh & fantastic, cool, crisp and refreshing. I had the Rigatoni Alla Vodka spicy! Good, but could have had a bit more heat. That said, the serving size for the price was pretty fair. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. Food was decent and the happy hour menu was actually excellent!
