This place gets a weak 3.
Thursday evening I attended "[title of show]" at The Herberger (OYE) and decided I wanted to eat before the show. I found out Amy B was going and I asked if she wanted to meet me somewhere close. Arizona Center doesn't offer much in the way of cheap and quick and I wanted more than a sandwich. I suggested this place and she said OK as she had not yet tried it either.
Ordering was simple. The Kiosk had links to descriptions and stuff. Without much going on in the place the folks working there seemed real busy without accomplishing anything, and we sort of got ignored for a few minutes at the counter. And later, while we were eating, there seemed to be a bit of swapping of drinks and things with Mi Amigo's next door, and at one point one of the employees went around the corner and I think borrowed some foil pans from someplace. I like the idea that friendly competitors will help each other out. Also while we were eating the manager appeared and made the rounds of the tables to see how folks were doing.
Amy chose a butter chicken wrap and I ordered the butter chicken with rice ($7.75) and a soda ($1.50). I don't eat much Indian/Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food so I didn't really have a lot to compare against. My Americanized description is marinated chicken with rice covered in gravy. The only difference would be the seasonings in the marinade and the gravy. It was ok and a change from some of the more common fast food items. It was, however, only lukewarm. I think that has to do with a couple of things. The food is kept warm in big clay pots and the choice of styrofoam plates. Styrofoam doesn't handle high heat well but if they used paper it doesn't handle gravies very well. They can't win on that one.
I thought the meal was priced fairly given the location and the prep involved. Given the choice of a similar cuisine I would choose Pita Jungle. That isn't to say I would rule out going back here again if I was in the area.
