North Scottsdale has needed a good Indian restaurant since I moved here twelve years ago. My wife and I dined at Al Hamra a couple of days ago and can report that our demand has at last been met.
Seeing a vindaloo on the menu had me correctly guess that the chef had arrived in the USA via Britain, which has a long history of Indian cuisine. We started with samosas after which I had the lamb vindaloo and my wife tried the chicken korma, all very good. For dessert, we were presented with a complimentary rice pudding, also good.
Prices are in line with the location - expect to pay a bit more here in the pricey North Scottsdale location. Decor was a bit nondescript - really very little Indian character and in my opinion needs a bit more attention to set the tone of the place.
