| - Marigold Maison is a wonderful magical place. A small little patch of heaven in an area that is far to commercialized, strip mall laden, and devoid of unique mom and pop operations.
There are quite a few options for Indian food in the valley and I am sure there are some that are as good as this wonderful establishment, but I haven't found them yet.
The staff is courteous and professional all while having an air of casual friendliness. I found the manager (perhaps owner) to be very nice and obviously concerned with the dining experience and the quality of the food. The restaurant has various specials and events such as their weekly Tuesday "Date Night" where you can get a three course meal and a bottle of wine for a very reasonable price.
Let us discuss the food... oh the food.
The tikka masala I had was the best I have had in phoenix. It was euphoric and could not have been tastier. For people who understand and love food, there is an ecstasy that certain foods can give you. A natural high that takes you to a mental place where all the difficulties of the world fade away and all the is left is joy, peace, and deliciousness in your mouth. I get this feeling with Thai food, Korean BBQ, and the tikka masala from Marigold Maison.
The garlic non was delicious (though our had one edge that was a little burned) and so good. The rice didn't have saffron but that is understandable given the price range. But these are small things; things that do nothing to tarnish the luster of excellence that permeates this establishment.
If you love Indian food, love a good deal, and are a hunter of that euphoric food experience, you owe it to yourself to try out Marigold Maison.
I would say that we need to do our best to keep this place in business but from the times I have eaten here they are always busy as it is =) Maybe make a reservation before coming.
