Usually I’m the person who likes to go out and enjoy a nice dinner at a restaurant with good food along with friendly service. I enjoy a variety of restaurants and enjoy a wide range of authentic foods from all cultures.So over the weekend I took the time to check out this Indian restaurant named “Star of India” located in Phoenix, address 4025 E Chandler Blvd, #14, Phoenix, AZ 85048. The restaurant’s weekly hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. This restaurant is purely an Indian restaurant serving only Indian entrees. Star of Indi...read more

Like eating a cardboard box – I am a visitor to Phoenix staying with family. This eveing we tried takeout from the Star of India. I can say without a doubt this was the worst Indian food I have ever eaten. Bland is a word that gives this food too much credit. I, as most people are, expect some degree of taste in this type of cuisine, there was absolutely no noticable spicyness or taste. I am quite annoyed as I write this as I very much look foward to Indian food on the occasions that I have it and I feel like I have been ext...read more

Cream laden food – If you have read my reviews then you will know I'm a harsh critic. I feel like a lot of these reviews are written by people who don't eat Indian food often and are not qualified to judge what is good and not good. Please understand that like Chinese food, Indian food is fairly tasty and addictive due the spices and cooking techniques so even the worst Indian restaurant wil taste really good to non-Indians and people who aren't used to eating Indian food regularly. Star of India is good but is hardly the be...read more

Best Indian in the Valley – Being from Boston where there are tons of good indian restaurants, this place is the gem of indian food for the valley. The owner Preet is almost always there and welcomes you to his pride and joy.The food is very good and has some unique dishes that we've never seen before; keema naan and chicken naan, both of which are delicious with tamarind chutney. The kabaab was a little dry, but still had a good flavor and was served with a pile of onions, green peppers, and lemons. Aloo Mutter is differen...read more

Pretty good, excellent for AZ – Start of India was recommended to me by a friend from Rajasthan. I've been to a few Indian restaurants here, and although they just do not compare to the places in California, this one was pretty good. The chicken makhani was very good as was the Naan. If you're looking for excellent authentic Inidan cusine, Arizona in general will be a huge disappointment to you. However, if you are looking for something that's passable, this is your best bet. The staff was friendly and attentive. The music w...read more

Worst Indian food so far in the USA – I have had indian food in different part of the US (LA, Chicago, St Louis, Phoenix, Memphis, etc) and beyond doubt, this was my worst experience of Indian food. I was dissappointed with the food and the service. I went there with a group of friends to try a 'new' Indian restaurant but had such a bad experience.Anyone who is appreciating this place probably doesn't know what good indian food is. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Best Indian in the Valley so far! – Ordered food to go for a company potluck. Food was really good, especially their Tandoori Chicken. People, who never experienced Indian food, liked it. Restaurant owner, Preet, is a very nice pleasant man who gave us a good discount because it was a company function.

User review by lcristler – Fantastic food and the staff is really nice. Its the best Indian for miles I highly recommend.
