Reviews for Chutneys Indian Express in Tempe, AZ

Terrible in all aspects and pretty close to a scam. You order, pay and tip first then the owner will brag about how good the... food is going to be and then you wait for 45mins to be served cold food which is no where close to good food from India. Themomos were literally packaged frozen food from the supermarket and just added in sauce. The sauce wasn't terrible but the barelycooked vegetables in it were :( The worst was when we were served an extra drink which we thought was to compensate us for thewait time but apparently it was just a misunderstanding. That's fine but they asked us to leave the drink behind even though wehad a sip from it. :( I hope they don't reuse it and serve it to someone else. Read more

Always busy- a little small but cozy. There is outdoor seating is available. If you did not know of it you would never see it.... The owners are always there helping out. Staff is super friendly. Just an all around great friendly place, you can tell theyLOVE their customers. Read more

Very well kept place with great ppl good conversation and they are willing to take an extra step to make amd keep you happy. The... food is very flavorful and can be extra spicy if you like it that way. On top of all this the cuisine is authentic as it gets. Read more

Drinks and food were amazing. We had mango margarita and WOW beer from four peaks on draft. Chicken lollipops were amazing. We... also had dragon chicken and chicken pakora - which were good too. On desert we got mango mastani and faluda- and these aredefinitely worth a try if you want to enjoy these delicacies from India. Read more

Best Indian food. They made everything from scratch for us! Really enjoyed the ambiance. Owner is a food enthusiast and takes... really good care of the place. Read more

Came here with mixed feelings after reading all the mixed reviews. The restaurant is small with outdoor seating. Owner is nice... and runs through the menu with you for ease. Ordered chilli momos which were great. Then had tandoori masala chicken and garlicnaan, and food was flavorful without being too spicy. Also had the chicken biryani which was spiced just right. Had the mangomastani which is a creamy mango puree drink with nuts and scoop of ice cream. All in all, food was tasty and yes - spicy, whichis how indian food is meant to be. It is located in college town so dont expect a phenomenal sit down fine dining experience. Read more

Edit: The morning after the owner called me to sincerely apologize about what happened last night saying they felt awful and... offered to make me some of his new vegetarian dishes as an apology for what happened. He talked to the cook who also apologizedfor the mistake. He even gave me his direct line. The owner was VERY kind and I appreciate how seriously he took theissue. PREVIOUS REVIEW: I ordered my food meatless with paneer and they fed me MEAT!!!!! no paneer. Horrible place, they don?tcare about what they feed their customers. Don?t come here if you?re vegetarian.

Came here because it was convenient and 1 of the people with me said they were good. The place was empty but they peaked through... the pick-up window and said they were open. I guess you usually order at the counter but I was with a wheelchair-user and wewent straight to a table. The counter was high, by the way. They bought us a menu...after we asked. It was hard to tell what wewanted so I asked what they had with chicken and veggies. They asked if I wanted rice with it and that was fine but I was VeryClear that I cannot do spicy. The other person I was with wanted the same dish and was also very clear that they didn't want Anyspice. The person who recommended this place asked for basic noodles. They asked if we were going to pay then or later. Whilewe waited, I went ahead and paid but should have waited. After a bit they came out and said that they don't have noodles. Sheended up ordering a version of what we had, which was not what we expected. It was A lot of rice, the only vegetables weregarnish and onions (which we picked off as it made the dish even More spicy). I had asked if the chicken was grilled and theysaid it was stir fried. All I know is that the chicken was breaded in some kind spicy something. At one point, a man came andasked how we were doing and I said it was spicy...but I'd try to handle it. I wish I'd asked for something else but afterreading other reviews (a bit too late) I wish we'd chosen somewhere else. I ended up eating only a small amount of the meal soam now in search of another option. So looking at reviews over convenience!! Read more
