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.“

“Went to Al Hamra today with a group of 8 and it was clean, spacious and had an amazing vibe. The food was to die for. We had the lamb dish, chicken Tikka masala, butter naan, ginger chicken and amazing samosas. The food was exquisite and the customer service was above and beyond. My favorite was their tea at the end of the night. It's a half milk and half tea combination and it was delicious. The owner made us feel so welcome and he was so hospitable. I will definitely be going back to support this business and highly recommend it.“

“Definitely worth trying! Patience is important when waiting for the food. About 30 minute wait after ordering. Alot of pickup orders I think interfered with customers dining in and this was a Saturday, but we arrived at 4:30 pm! I might try lunch next time or order food to go!! VERY DELICIOUS!!!!!“

“The food was amazing my first time ever eating Indian food the service was great try this place out 🔥🔥🔥💣💣💣“

“Perfect spot for a tasty meal that doesn’t hurt your wallet.“

“Friendly staff. They made my birthday amazing. Food is great and made with love. I will absolutely be coming back.“

“As a Chinese person, my friends and I absolutely loved this meal. The price is fairly reasonable, and the taste exceeded our expectations. I especially enjoyed the Egg 69 and the Indian tofu dish; the sauce was incredible, so much so that I ate it all. My Indian friend vouched for its authenticity. Each dish was seasoned to perfection, with vibrant spices that truly enhanced the flavors. The mango shake was also a highlight—very fresh and not overly sweet. In the future, I can’t wait to try their Chicken 65 and curry!

One thing to note is that it was quite spicy for me, even though I like spicy food. I talked to the owner, and he said he will provide a less spicy option in the future.“

“This was our first visit to Guru Palace, and overall, it was a decent experience. The food quality was satisfactory, and we appreciated the manager's knowledge and expertise. While our experience was just okay, we’re willing to give them another chance on our next visit.“

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

“The food and portions are great! Great ambiance and a huge variety of dishes to choose from! Very friendly and attentive staff!“

“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“

“It’s an experience in itself... a trip once will make you longing for more 😊“

“If I could give this place more than five stars, I absolutely would!
The food here is exceptional, flawless in taste, quality, and presentation but what truly stood out was the top-tier hospitality. Syeda, the lovely lady at the front desk, is an absolute gem. She’s not just friendly; she’s a HOSPITALITY NINJA. I casually mentioned how I love my BBQ well done, and lo and behold, my plate arrived perfectly cooked, exactly as I imagined. It’s rare to find someone who actually listens, let alone delivers with such precision.

Syeda went above and beyond, ensuring I enjoyed my meal to the fullest. She even found me the perfect little corner to sit in a quiet, cozy, and just right for someone like me who prefers to enjoy their food in serene solitude. Honestly, it felt like she read my mind!

The only hiccup? The couple sitting next to me, who were so enthusiastic about life (and each other) that their conversation could have powered the entire restaurant’s energy grid. I get it, lovebirds 😆 life’s exciting! But maybe save the nonstop chatter for a more private venue? Some of us are here to vibe with malai boti, not your romance.

All that aside, this spot is my new foodie paradise. Not only is the food fantastic, but the prices are also incredibly wallet friendly. It’s a win-win. Mark my words, the next time I’m in Phoenix, I’ll be back, possibly requesting Syeda by name, who’s the real MVP of this place! 💕“

“I am into places featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. I've been on a cross-country twice from California to Maine and back hitting places of interests and Triple D locations. The place is simple but the food is exotically delicious. There is some spicy heat but not overly hot. Pro-tip: have some Lassi which is a yogurt drink just in case. The special rice is worth the extra charge and don't forget to finish with some rice pudding to nicely round things out.“

“I went with my family and we really liked the quality of food and the original udipi taste that we know. Very hospitable folks and we felt very pleasant today for the lunch we had (bisibellabath, pongal, idli sambhar, dosaand coffee), the space was filled with good vibe , is spacious and feels good“
