| - Haldi is located on a strip mall like portion of Bell Road in northeast Phoenix suburbs. Parking in the lot outside was no problem on a Wednesday night.
The menu is comprehensive for southern Indian style cooking. THere are dosas as well as the normal range of sauces and styles. Also, the service is competent and very friendly.
We ordered masala chai to drink and it was excellent. Thee is no alcohol on the menu, but there are lassis and soft drinks. . For our food, we ordered, for me, a goat specialty cooked with sorrel leaf flavoring--spicy and outstanding. For my wife, she ordered saag paneer mild and it too was very flavorful. Let's point out that the side elements were also above average in flavor--chapotis, raitta, nimbu achar, and parathas. You can look up the meaning of these terms if you aen't familiar. We also had burfee for dessert.
We're pretty knowledgeable and picky diners in this category. I would rate Haldi substantially above the norm. They have only been at this location for a year, per the server, but clearly the chef(s) know what they are doing. If you like it spicy, as I do be sure to make that clear to the server.
