| - Having been to a few places where they supposedly serve Indian delicacies in and around Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe, I had lost all hope that I'd be able to have good Indian snacks and chats in AZ. Until I walked into Pastries N Chaat that is...A friend took me there after one work one evening. I was circumspect because I did not want to be disappointed yet again. However, as I walked in, I could sense something positively different about this place. It had a pleasant, uncluttered, calm and soothing ambiance. They give you a slip where you can mark your order and take a seat. We ordered papdi chat, dahi batata puri, egg puffs, samosas and chai. The presentation of the food was excellent. The chats were fabulous with most of the flavors growing on you after every bite. The chai had great consistency and the samosas were hot and crispy too. The puffs had carrot in its filling which I personally did not like, but that wasn't really a put off. The price is pretty reasonable for the quantities that the serve. Mostly in the $3.00-$4.50 range. They have take outs too.
The service was excellent, the people were very courteous, friendly and polite. They have English pastries for those who'd like a bit of both. On the whole, I can't recommend this place enough. I'm sure to make many more visits.
