“I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, spice level 2, and it was a yummy dish. I have a low heat tolerance, and the spice level was a tad too hot, but it still tasted good. The naan was excellent as well. Given the opportunity, I would return again.“

“Everything was delicious and portions are big enough to share. Their mint chutney is my favorite of anywhere. Tonight, I’m tried their rice pilau, a wonderful combination of basmati rice, peas, caramelized onions and yummy cashews. Perfect dish for a hot day, especially with some raita.“

“I have never had Indian food before so this was very new to me. I ordered the tikka wrap and my husband had the southern curry with shrimp and two garlic naans. Very satisfied with the taste! The cashier was also very sweet :)“

“Los cocineros son lo mejor“

“Excellent buffet. Just amazing. Five sweets were offered!“

The flavors were intensely delicious with the perfect amount of spicy that enhanced the taste. I recommend 100%! You could pick a dish at random from the menu and you would not be disappointed.“

“Indian street food authentic Indian dishes with flavor full desi dishes“

“It was good food, a pub vibe, with locals. The drinks were reg bar prices, but I had a $20 plate that should have been bigger or a $12-15 plate, but given the diversity of the menu, I’ll still pay.“

“Lot's of food and very good“

“Goat curry is tasty. The wait was very long. But will definitely go again whenever I am in Phoenix.“

“I recently moved from California to Arizona and was desperately searching for a good place to eat — somewhere that serves food that resonates with my culture, cooked properly and full of flavor. Lo and behold, I found this gem of a restaurant called Dawat Indian Cuisine. Hands down, it’s one of the best restaurants in the area.

Among the many delicious dishes I’ve tried, my go-to is the chicken kabob — and let me tell you, it’s the best!

Thank you, Mahboub brother, for your amazing food and hard work. Keep it up — you’re doing an incredible job!“

“Placed an order online for their special at 11 am. They had ample time to call me and tell me they couldn't complete my order. Instead, I drove 20 minutes out of my way to pick it up just for them to tell me they won't be doing my order. They also couldn't tell me how to get refunded. Horrible customer service.“

“Outstanding dining experience! Indian Delhi Palace exceeded our expectations with delicious food, top-notch service, and a warm ambiance. Five stars and a big thumbs up“

“Always it’s delicious the food“

“Deepa and her team at Om Indian Bistro were an absolute pleasure to work with. They catered both my Sangeet and Haldi events, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Deepa, in particular, was such a joy—warm, responsive, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. She provided an excellent tasting selection and worked closely with us to make thoughtful adjustments to our menu.

Her flexibility with food options and accommodations made planning stress-free, and the entire staff was professional, efficient, and well-trained. Their familiarity with setup and teardown at large venues was a huge plus. It’s no surprise that Om is one of the few approved Indian catering vendors for major hotels—the quality, organization, and service truly stand out.

I would highly recommend Om Catering for any Indian function or wedding event. Deepa will take care of you every step of the way and ensure your guests are well fed and happy.“
