| - I want to first start off by saying that it is Arizona and it was 112 out today. We walked into the store at 7pm and it was at least 5 degrees hotter inside than it was outside, it was miserable to just stand inside for 5 minutes to order.
The young girl who was taking our order was extremely rude and when we inquired about some images we found in Yelp she was no help. Definitely not a good experience within the first couple of minutes.
We ordered two pastries which were bright to us before our food. So we ate that first. The pastries we got were the tiramisu and butterscotch cakes. They were room temperature which was 120 degrees. I've definitely had better, but it was ok.
For Entrees:
Bhel Puri: It was not very good. It was more like an Indian Frito pie. We had 2 bites and threw it away. It was very blan outside of the sauce it had on the top, which wasn't very much.
Chicken Curry Special: Was good. Rice, chicken curry soup, bread and some fresh veggies. Since we didn't eat the other two entrees, it wasn't quite enough for us to share but it had great flavor.
Sanoma Chaat: A pastry stuffed with potatoes with a green sauce, chick peas and a little spice similar to a thick stew. I'm assuming it was suppose to be a hot entree, and it came out cold, minus the actual pastry was hot. Not very good, probably better had it been cooked fresh and served as an entire hot plate.
I think if they had air conditioning I would have given a 2 star; considering the food was mediocre and it was HOT and not a comfortable environment to eat in, I give it a 1. I would not recommend this spot to anyone.
I would however recommend Marigold Maison which is close by, delicious food, a GREAT environment and fully working air conditioning.
