Indian Restaurants in Phoenix, AZ
Smell the spices in the air as you near one of the many Indian restaurants in Phoenix. Many Indian restaurants are family-owned and feature not only the expected dinners, like curries, but family recipe variations. Some of the restaurants boast authentic tandoor grills--a clay urn in which burning coals generate a 600-degree cooking temperature. Cap a day on the links with a generous meal at one of the many Indian restaurants in the Valley of the Sun.

Indian Delhi Palace

A little bit out of the way, Indian Delhi Palace is a restaurant where natives of India enjoy dining. At lunch, a buffet provides a sampling of curries and grilled foods. Those unfamiliar with Indian food will find the buffet a great opportunity to try a broad variety of flavors and textures and learn about Indian foods and some of the provincial differences.

For dinner, the menu offers a large selection of curries and other Indian foods. Indian Delhi Palace uses authentic spices from the subcontinent. There is also a fresh fish special authentically prepared for dinner. There is a large Indian continent population in the Phoenix area, and seeing them prominent among the diners is a good sign that the food is authentic. Indian Delhi Palace is open daily for lunch and dinner.

Flavors of India

Like many of Phoenix's Indian restaurants, Flavors of India is set back in a roadside cluster of shops. The restaurant features a full course of traditional Indian entrees. Modestly priced, Flavors of India has a luncheon buffet in addition to nightly dinners. This is a dedicated Indian restaurant, and there are no "American meal options" on the menu.

Flavors of India serves a broad variety of choices, including more than the 16 vegetarian meals listed on the menu. The restaurant has an authentic tandoor clay oven for cooking the Indian grilled meats and shrimp. Flavors of India also offers seven different tandoor-baked breads, a greater variety than found in most restaurants. Located in the Biltmore area, Flavors of India is open daily for lunch and dinner.
