text: Here is a honest review from an Indian Tempe veteran !\n\nThis review was long overdue but finally its here. I don't know where to start on this place. As one person mentioned below this place is like run down has barely 4 tables with plastic chairs and always dirty tables surrounded by 3 isles of groceries facing kitchen and toilet. No one ever comes to take your order and you have to grab a menu item list and fill what you want and go to the kitchen to hand them what you need and people from the kitchen giving you weird looks as if we are forcing them to cook food for us. I have been to this place when i was the only customer and still took a long time for them to serve. Often the next 3 orders are served before you so that you look stupid waiting there.\n\nRegarding food , they serve in paper plates, get your own water in paper cups and food is less quantity and not so tasty. They barely make efforts to cook great food. The paneer mutter has 2 minute cubes of paneer and loads of green peas and the curry is tasteless. Chole bhature is bad too and their so called \"veg pulao\" is nothing but yellow rice with cumins seeds and not even close to be called a pulao. This is what they serve for 6$. Thinking about snacks their paani puri has 6 old stocked puris and paani(sweet water and green water) which is not so authentic plus they serve samosa potato filling as stuffing which is fooling people who dont know what paani puri is. Their other snacks i did not try but from what my friends ordered were equally bad. Their quantities are bad too. But their samosas are decent not as bad.Their kitchen has the owner wife and other exploited less wage paid women working with whom you have a hard time communicating. i observed they sometimes keep some basic food items like pickles, tomato purees, paneer mutter left over and etc inside refrigerators for use when needed. GREAT serve us stale food.\n\nTheir grocery store stocks all expired and smelly stuff which is not overpriced than other indian grocery stores. I bought groceries just because they refuse to take credit card below 10$ and they hate AMEX. Once i asked the paan eating owner that the item is expired and instead of being polite he said \"you should pick and choose items correctly\". I bought some snacks which had a stored smell and the pohas(flatten rice) was not good quality(confirmation from indian parents visiting). The grocery store is a risk as you can end up messing up your stomach.\n\nMy final advice to people with the intent of going here for lunch/snacks/dinner is good luck to get served mediocre food and some of my indian friends will agree to this. Grocery store definitely there are other places to go ask your fellow indian friends. Also i can't tolerate the owner who always chew paan and talks weird to you.
