11 Best Indian Restaurants in Scottsdale

“We had a mixed but mostly good experience at Curries with the lamb biryani and Punjabi Murg Tikka being super flavorful and definite highlights. The vindaloo and kadhai were not as spicy as we asked for but the prices are great, portions are generous enough to share and we would come back to try more dishes.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fusion 5 Authentic Indian Cuisine and Bar, and it was an outstanding experience. The highlight of my meal was the Chicken Quesadillas, which were simply extraordinary. The quesadillas were perfectly crisp, with a generous filling of tender, flavorful chicken and a delightful blend of spices that elevated the dish to new heights. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, leaving a lasting impression on my palate. The restaurant's ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service was top-notch, contributing to an overall fantastic dining experience. Fusion 5 has truly mastered the art of authentic Indian cuisine, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit.“

“From appetizers to mains, the entire meal was outstanding. We tried both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The walnut potato galette and tandoori chicken made for excellent starters. For the main course, we had mutton Kashmiri curry, dal makhani, malai kofta, and naan — each dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The kitchen thoughtfully adjusted the spice levels to our preference. Special appreciation to the restaurant manager, Shashank, for delivering exceptional service throughout.“

“You will have to try this amazing chicken tikka masala! The taste is so rich and the foods smells amazing! I have been attending to this place for many years and it is why I am picking about the taste. Chicken tikka masala is 5 stars dish! Also the garlic naan is homemade fresh and you will have to try amazing appetizer Samos chaat!“

“I really dig this place. For me, around the valley and I have tried a # of them, this is the best Indian choice to make. It's family owned, and even this time when I dined, the server (who is the son and works the front of the house) took an interest in me, what I had brought to the table to work on while I ate. It's cool that someone makes the time to notice you, as that is lacking all around us these days. The food? I enjoy it a lot. In candor, I have found the masala-based dishes to be on the heavier side, more creamy than I like. I tend to prefer more tomato in the base, so tonight I decided to go with the yellow lentils. What a great dish. The seasoning was managed very well, the heat just right. The mango lassi--terrific. The service is quick, the inside of the restaurant just big enough to feel cozy. You can watch them cook, as the stoves and prep area are right there near the tables. Just a great experience, and one I will keep supporting as I come back to Scottsdale multiple times a year.“

“I always make it a priority to find great Indian restaurants in the cities I visit and live in; Masala Indian Cuisine did not disappoint.

I ordered the chicken mughlai, vegetable samosas, and naan. All three dishes tasted amazing and were cooked perfectly. The service was also undeniably incredible.

This is now my go-to Indian restaurant in Scottsdale.“

“Quiet Saturday evening and we loved our server Jessica—took advantage of having her all to ourselves and connected over having similar names. We ordered chicken tikka masala, samosa and garlic naan. So glad she brought us papadam and chutneys too. I love when Indian cuisine restaurants go the small but authentic extra mile to serve long grain basmati rice with some masala (you can see the seeds or yellow saffron). Also they have a special off the menu item: a back of house mango pickle!! Your know it’s authentic when you can get off the menu items!! Chai was distinctly cardamom. Although they don’t have thali I look forward to trying the buffet on our trip. So many veg and nonveg options!! Presentation was simple, not fancy but very tasty sauces.“

“Yummy food. Had a bucket of goat biriyani. Recommend place. Very friendly people.“

“Staff are quite friendly. They checked on us after serving every dish. Ambience is very welcoming. Love the freshener sticks they used in restrooms. However, the food is not so great. Paneer masala, Mango lassi and Indian salad were decent.“

“Awesome Food! Authentic and fresh made to order.“

“Very nice takeout meal — chicken biryanis and paneer wrap with a mango lassis to top it off. All very tasty with large portions with more than enough for two or a second meal. And a frozen special bread for later. Thumbs up 👍“
