I eat here weekly for lunch and have never had a bad experience. The food has always been amazing and the price is also fantastic. Their lunch buffet is very reasonably priced and I always leave having eaten a bit too much. I’ve also taken my family to eat here for dinner on several occasions and my wife and son also love the food.

I always come here for the Chicken Tiki Masala with naan bread. Always had great service and the hot tea is amazing to finish off the meal.

The worst ever restaurant I visited in USA!! I’m a south Indian and I know how the food should taste for the money you pay!!

Very clean.. Very delicious! Someone said below that there is limited vegetarian menu.. I disagree it was delicious and we ate a huge vegetarian spread. We bought the Groupon vegetarian dinner for two! They have awesome service. They gave each food item with perfect timing as the one before was finished. Always smiling. We also tried the lunch buffet. Amazing as well!! We will definitely be back and a must try restaurant!

I usually do not write reviews, but here is my two cents on this particular restaurant. A friend and I went to Aachi’s on Sat 22 Nov 2015 for the lunch buffet. Most of the items were undercooked. We are both vegetarians, and this review is about the vegetarian food only. The food was unauthentic; I suspect a non-Indian person was making the food. Not just that, but most of the food was plain bad.

I am a vegetarian and so I got to try only the veg items in the buffet.

The restaurant was very clean in appearance. Kind of quiet and low key (which I’m sure the owners would like to change). The staff were very kind and courteous. A BIT over attentive but that’s better than not at all.

Visiting Phoenix from a small town in Iowa, we looked forward to eating delicious South Indian cuisine at this restaurant not too far from our hotel.

Place looks average but the food is wonderful. Service and drinks are average but we were there for the food. If you are looking for excellent Indian food, this place is very good. We were stuffed leaving and were very happy. I’d go back for sure.
