This is a great place to get ur spices whether Indian or not. Great pricing and u can get large quantities if u wish. They have all things Indian including frozen Indian foods to take home, bakery items and some clothing items. If u like coriander chutney one of the condiments served at Indian restaurants, they have a great jarred version here. They offer a lunch buffet which looked amazing and included desserts as well. read more

Food was so delicious! It's a quiet dining area with pretty paintings on the wall. Ordered the chicken tiki masala and chicken biryani The service was fast, only thing was it was the cleanest. Super good spot of indian food tho! read more

Amazing food and amazing customer service! They never disappoints pop in and support a small business!

Confirm prices before ordering. They are different everywhere. I looked at their menu on their own website and they still charged $3 more per entree. When I noticed after paying he laughed in my face. Will be going elsewhere from now on. What a shame, I could walk there. read more

Food was ok typical Punjabi food . However the service was very poor . The place is run by an elderly couple , walked in no greeting from the gentlemen just a "what do you want" glare . Waited in front of the buffet where the lady was arranging some food . She saw me and never acknowledged my presence , Kept doing what she was doing . Finally I asked her that I would like to order . She came over and grudgingly took my order and money . In the meantime she accidentally spilled a cup of water . She then took the styrofoam cup mumbled angrily and threw it across the buffet !! I was not sure if i was allowed to take seconds ( buffet ) but decided I dare not ask her . This place really needs to learn the term customer service !!! Very poor attitude ! If you guys want to scare customers you are doing a good job of it !! Keep it up !! read more

Ordered chicken tikka masala off of Uber eats for this place. Let me start off by saying that I love Indian food, but this place might be one of the worst I've had in Phoenix. The curry was so watery and unflavorful. The best part of eating an Indian dish, in my opinion, is all the aromatic flavors and pungent spices! This curry tasted like straight up water with maybe a slight bit of tomato and a sprinkle of salt. The consistency was also off. It had no thickness and did not compliment the rice well. The only reason I didn't give this place 1 star was the chicken was cooked well and the Naans were pretty good. Bottom line: if you have bland taste buds and enjoy your food with moderate to no flavor, this might be the place for you. If not, there are plenty of other better options around. read more

Sadly I will never come here again. The food is just as great but the service has become unbearable. If you've read my last review, you'll see that I mentioned the lady who serves and how she lacks in the good sense department and customer service. I chalk this up to culture differences. So I usually just laugh it off in my head. Today I brought my mom and sister here and the lady throws our straws. When she gathered our dirty plates she slammed them atop one another. I found it useless to tell her thank you as she continually scowls and can never bring herself to say "you're welcome" I hate to bring up the fact that she was very welcoming to the Caucasian patrons. Hell she's even nice to my boyfriend, apparently he has the right shade of brown. Lol I can imagine if she knew he was Latin. No more extra Naam babe, you've been outed. So it is what it looks like. I'm nice and respectful so I have no choice but to go to the obvious. She's another foreigner that has these twisted preconceived notions in regards to minority's. Yeah, you may think I'm nuttier than squirrel sh^t but I'm not someone who thinks every inconvenience has anything to do with color. This lady though is mad! So while the food is good, I will not spend my time or money eating at my second favorite Indian restaurant. In the wise words of my sister, it should be mandatory for citizens and foreigners to take some type of cultural sensitivity training before opening any business. I did think of a joke though, she must be the bizarre in New India Bazaar. Hey I didn't say my joke would be funny. read more

Yet another little gem. A diamond in the rough. They have all the basics and spices in bulk for making your favorite Indian dishes from scratch here. They also offer mixes and blends to help make it all a little easier. You can find paneer in the fridge and some great pre made Indian foods in the freezer. They also offer several homemade deserts and wonderful little snacks and treats in the Chaat Cafe. When I stopped in, I was intent on a snack at the chaat cafe. The employees were attentive and helpful. After viewing the menu sheet, deciding on the pani puri and the stuffed chile pakora, I ordered at the counter. The man working the counter warned me that it was spicy. I told him I am sure I've had spicier and I am looking forward to try them both. The chile was a quite large Anaheim style green chile stuffed with potatoes peas and other spices dipped in a seasoned batter and deep fried and sliced. An Indian chile relleno. Quite substantial it was served with 2 dipping sauces, a tamarind chile and a cilantro based sauce. The pani puri was a nice treat with the spicy tamarind liquid and crispy little pockets. This also came with a small portion of potato and chick peas and a side of the tamarind chile sauce. What a great snack/light late lunch. It really hit the spot. Plus I found a few Indian treats I had been looking for. read more

Last night was our first time at New India. I came in with four other friends. One of us is gluten-intolerant, and the rest are vegetarians. This is a WONDERLAND for anyone with vegetarian tendencies, though they also have a meat menu for the carnivores. I had the palak paneer. The dinner ($12) comes with rice, curried vegetables, salad, raiti (yogurt), naan and a pickled side and a dessert. It's enough to have 2-3x leftovers. The food is delicious. If you love Indian food, but only can afford the buffet during lunch at most places... you'll love it here. It's affordable, genuine, and ridiculously good. I'm coming back! read more

I had some food delivered from here. Chicken Tikka Masala that came with some vegetable sides( I apologize I don't know the name) and some veggie somosas. Overall I enjoyed the meal. The Tikka Masala was too salty and the sauce kinda thin for my taste but the veggie sides and the somosas sold me and I will be back. read more

Chatt, Tea and Pizza three of the surprised I found on my last trip. Most buffets have the usual suspects garnished with rice naan and some condiments. But to have a Chatt available? Chai Tea (included) and even pizza (yes Indian style veggie pizza and its good) This is why I am so in love with this place, 1 Great Flavor, you can beat the unmuted flavors that sing in your mouth. 2. variety, there is more to Indian the palak paneer and tandori chicken and pakora. 3. Value great price for a wide range of options. Next time you are in take a look at the left end of the buffet first and see if you can find a Chaat. read more

such a sweet spot! best service and the butter chicken was absolutely amazingly healing!

15 mins means 1 hour to them, they no regard for peoples time. The food is not worth it

I have been here on different occasions, and I find the food just okay. Nothing really stands out flavor wise. Im not a fan of the naan, it is almost crispy and has no flavor. Perhaps im spoiled by naan, and garlic naan from other places. Unfortunately for me I don't find much bang for the buffet buck. read more

We tried the malai kofta, and the vegetable balls were full of seasonings and the most interesting part of our meal. We also had the paneer tikka masala, which was super bland. We got naan, and it would have been good except that it was over half burnt black (no, not some nice toasty spots, actual continuous burnt area). We're vegetarian and there are few vegetable dishes on the menu, though plenty to choose from with potatoes, legumes, cheese. read more

So delicious! Excellent Butter chicken that was tender and well flavored. Arrived to me hot and cleanly packaged. If the option to include "Thali Dinner", it's is well worth it. The flavors well complimented each other. There could have been a bit more Naan included for two people, but I will order more next time read more

Let's start with the service: no greeting as I walked up to the counter to pick up my order. The woman at the counter seemed annoyed to see me as if I was bothering her and interrupting her conversations. I didn't feel welcomed at all.... and the place looked like it could use some deep cleaning. The food: Too overpriced for what you get. Too much sauce and very little main ingredients like meat and vegetables. I could overlook the tiny portions and bad presentations, but the food simply tasted horrible! Maybe it was a bad day or I just got a bad batch. Price: Too overpriced for what you get. Will I return? Definitely not. read more

Food was amazing! I got the chicken curry thali dinner, and I am so stuffed. The 2nd time I went, I had the lunch buffet. It was awesome, as expected. I love the samosas and the tikka masala. Good value for the quality and portion. As I had read the server lady is quiet, but kind like a mother. She showed me where to find the ingredients in the store part, when I had asked about the fennel mix at the counter. So sweet. this is a must have if you are in Phoenix and are a fan of Indian food! read more

I love the mittai (sweets) they have. I have come here multiple times to shop. Their mittai is always so good and fresh. Even days after.

Leaving reviews about this place wherever I can. Two men and One lady were working the front, none would attend me. Two customers, men, came after me and real quick, "What do you want." In a rude tone too. I was at the cash register first but am invisible, apparently. Also, the lady makes you feel like you Force her to serve you. 3 times I repeated I wanted a bowl, 3 times I was ignored. My sister came in since I was taking long, she witnessed me ask the lady for a Tikka Bowl for the last time and the lady looked bothered and left, didn't even address me so I left. Why work in a restaurant if you're going to be annoyed by Paying customers? Anyways, I don't recommend this place anymore. I recommended it to over 10 people and now I regret it. My food the last two times didn't even taste good so not worth being ignored and feeling like you're bothering them. read more

Honestly very disappointed, the food was very bland. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and samosas. Literally two things you have to be trying HARD to not get right. I think the frozen chicken tikka masala from Whole Foods is better than what I had here... read more

This food is absolutely terrible. I ordered chicken tikka masala. Aloo Gobi, garlic naan, and rice. The rice was the o my thing edible. Let me be Frank and to the point ... it's like they took yesterday's leftovers and added water to it. The sauce of the CTM was watery and no flavor . The garlic naan I ordered with no cilantro was dry and stale Don't waste your money. Very disappointing. read more

I was almost put off by the negative reviews and the outside appearance.... but holy cannoli!!! SO IMPRESSED. SO DELICIOUS. We had it delivered, so I cannot comment on the service, but it was so good that they could have punched me in the face and I'd still go back. If you're on the edge about eating/ordering from here like I was, DO IT!! ***UPDATE: Okay, so I ordered twice from here and it was INCREDIBLE. Third time was borderline disgraceful. My entree, which was supposed to be 'very spicy tikka masala', tasted like cheap store bought tomato soup... disappointing doesn't begin to describe it. Because my previous experiences were absolutely wonderful I will be giving them another shot... I will update afterwards. read more

Loved the food.. I think they are under new admins of that's what we overheard.. plenty of food plenty of flavor.. spicy though but loveeeed it.. all the dishes we tried were really good read more

We have had takeout from here 3 times now. Ambiance is minimal; I certainly wouldn't be excited about dining in. Prices are very reasonable and food is good. They have a huge variety of Indian sweets and I can't resist getting some each time we are in. The curries seem a little thin/soupy as others have said. Some things are definitely better than others but all in all it's a good spot for Indian takeout. read more

This was not the best by a long shot. Chicken Tikka sauce was pretty bad. Won't be going back there anytime soon.

Horrible.. chicken curry was like soup.. wasnt chicken curry at all.. i ordered via postmates and im never ordering from here again coz no one helped me abt the quality of the order read more

Delicious food. A simple casual buffet at a good price! A perfect place if you need a quick fix to your Indian craving! The lady behind the counter was cool too! She snuck us a little take out box that we could pack our buffet leftovers in for free. I get a sense this place is ran by good people read more

Lamb curry, inedible. Tastes like spicy soup with overloaded salt. Rose lassi tastes like spoilt milk. Simply the worst Indian food I have ever had read more

Fresh, fabulous, affordable in a simple n clean setting. Attached to a grocery store! Locally owned by superb family! Fresh off the tandoor Naan! read more

Thank you for taking the health of you, your staff, and your patrons seriously. You've set a standard during the pandemic and continue not to let people in who are not masked. I love that you insist that everyone sanitizes as well. Your food is wonderfully delicious but more importantly we won't die eating it. Thank you! read more

I've lived in the valley for over 5 years and we've never found Indian food that blew our minds. Until we ordered from here. It's spicy, but man everything is great quality. The meats are incredibly tender and the amount of food you get is just a steal. This is our go to place for Indian food now and I'm so glad we found it! I recommend the butter chicken and garlic naan. Literally to die for! read more

I cannot forgive an Indian restaurant mixing white rice and curry together and calling it biriyani. That is low man. Giving 2 instead of 1, for the samosas. read more

The food here is delish but I don't order delivery from here because they use Grubhub and I have had such negative experience with that service. This is definitely a place to go if I have time to pick up or eat there. read more

This place was AMAZING! Had a wide variety of Indian food styles and of course the staple favorites. Got the chicken saag, probably the best saag I've ever had. Service was on point, folks where very attentive. Definitely worth swinging in. read more

The food was really good! Maybe a little pricey for the portions, but everything was tasty. I am a vegetarian. I got the chana masala, samosas, garlic naan, and Dahi Vada Chaat. I did manage to spread it out to be 2 days worth of dinners. I subtract a star because of the customer service on the phone. I asked for plastic silverware and the woman on the phone first didn't understand me (language barrier) and then she said "yes" to my request without following through. Luckily, my postmates driver saved the day! She gave me plastic utensils and napkins, as all of my dishware was still in boxes. read more

First off: I LOVE THIS PLACE! This place is like family to me and I'll go here for as long as they are in business. Perfect for Indian imported groceries or if you're hungry and you don't feel like cooking, you can dine in or take out delicious meals. My favorites: Butter Chicken- The chicken is tender, juicy, and it soaks up the color from all the spices and flavors it gets marinated in. The sauce is perfect! Chicken or Lamb Vindaloo- I've had both. I prefer extra spicy foods. If you like it hot and spicy, I suggest you request them to make it extra spicy for you. It is a hot lava heaven of flavors. The potatoes resemble embers because of spices and the dark red color of the sauce. It's awesome! Aloo gobi- if you're wanting more of a spiced veggie dish, the cauliflower/potato combo is flavorful, it has a slight little kick of heat. Gobi 65- The cauliflower dumplings entree. WOW! It's a mild vegetarian dish, but it is warm and comforting. The cauliflower dumplings are in a subtly spiced yogurt gravy, and the best way I can describe it is like India's version of an alfredo sauce with cauliflower. I highly recommend it, it's so good! Samosas- Great vegetable samosas! The filling is balanced with the holy trinity of Indian spices like curry, cumin, and coriander. There are even bits of cilantro in it as well. You can never go wrong to order these as a snack or to add to your meal. Best garlic Naan too, perfect texture and fresh! Last but not least, THE BEST EVER!!! Fresh Pickled Lemon/ Lemon Chutney- This deserves a mention. I've been told these lemons are fresh from the family lemon tree, it's a family recipe. Grandpa Singh won't teach me how to make my own, so I have to come here and ask them for large containers of it or bring a jar because they are the BEST and no other Indian restaurant has this, so it's a rare treasure. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM! Best lemon chutney you will ever find in Arizona! In conclusion, I love this place! I love the people! I've tried a few other Indian restaurants and most of them don't even compare. There are plenty of other items to choose from on the menu. This place never disappoints me and it deserves a higher rating! read more

Sweets are vary tasty and fresh here always. So far I never tried foos here but when you entered we can smell good aroma of Punjabi food. Every time you can try different sweets best and fresh sweets shop in Arizona. read more

EAT HERE! This has become not just my favorite Indian restaurant but favorite restaurant. I caught myself eating here 3 times in one week. Whenever I ask my date where we should eat, this seems to be the answer. We are definite foodies and should be ashamed of how much of our income is spent on eating out. ****I've never eaten at a buffet that has such fresh food. They don't put out tons of food and let it sit, they continually replace with small fresh and hot portions and tend to keep an eye on what needs to be replenished. It's 9:30AM on a Sunday morning and my love and I are laying in bed, WAITING for this place to open. We consulted Yelp for the hours and began to browse the reviews, just knowing there would be some comments about the service, or a waitress named Beauty. Beauty is definitely a character, and is one of the reasons we love this place so much. To anyone who says she should brush up on customer service, nah, brush up on your sense of humor. She's a riot. Laugh with her, smile at her, she is a delight. I will never tire of this place ...1 hour and 30 minutes until it opens ... and I hope Beauty is there. read more

5 stars for the fact that New India runs a lunch kitchen with fresh food made by one very nice lady in the back of the store, every day. If you're a gringo, you're at a disadvantage to enjoy the food here, because the menu will probably make no sense to you. But if you're an *adventurous* gringo, you'll love it. And if you like Indian food, take it from me that this is the only high-quality Indian meal to be found in all of central Phoenix. Yes, I'm familiar with all the other ones. As with most kitchens operating within an ethnic community grocery store, you can't come in here expecting a standard restaurant experience. When you first walk in, you'll probably give a bewildered and confused look at the store clerk behind the cash register, who'll have the same look on his face simply because you're a gringo in an Indian store. Cut the guy some slack; he's a grocery store owner and his business is running grocery stores. He's not trained in the art of waitering! But he is a nice guy. Eventually, one way or another, you will wind up with a menu in your hands while seated at a table. On the front side of the menu, there are 10 or more "chaat" options, which most non-Indians are unfamiliar with because you don't see them in standard Indian restaurant menus. That's unfortunate because that's all the good stuff. If you're going in totally blind with no idea what chaats are, but you are hungry for lunch, my strong recommendation is that you ask for the "aloo tikki chaat." This is an all-vegetarian entree, made to order and put on your table piping hot, for a whopping 3 bucks. It's basically a potato-based jumble of spicy exotic sauces that tastes like heaven. Once introduced to what the basic concept of a "chaat" is, you may want to try other varieties of chaats on the menu during other visits. Another option to try, also vegetarian (I am a carnivore by the way; but the best vegetarian meals on earth are Indian, let's face it), is channa bhatura. Again, not something most non-Indos I know would order in a standard restaurant. It's often called channa masala, and is basically a dish of spicy chickpeas in a yummy masala/sauce, served with a fresh-made "bhatura" (a cousin of naan, the bread many are familiar with). The samosas here are great, if you're looking for a familiar appetizer from standard Indian menus. Naturally, you won't be served water. Instead, you get up to grab a dixie cup and pour it yourself from an orange cooler in the eating area. The key to this place earning its 5 stars is simply the lady who makes the food in the kitchen. She's really good and knows how to cook, and that's all that counts. read more
