User Reviews for Star of India
12/21/2007 Posted by ip101
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 extremely let down ( I am even contemplating getting in the car and trying to find some decent indian now) . Apart from the poor food we ordered three dishes which came with barely enough rice for one person (after asking if rice was included). There is nothing personal to this review, I am so scathing as the food really was that bad and also for the reasons described above.
Pros: Food arrived in the expected timeframe
Cons: Worst indian food I have eaten and I have eaten a lot of it

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 best or even one of the best Indian restaurants in the valley. Their food is not prepared by a professional Indian chef and that can be tasted. The food tastes like it's been prepared at home by a very talented Auntie. Now while an Auntie's cooking is fine, it's still no match to that of food prepared by a professional chef. I would strongly encourage the readers below to venture to Tempe and Phoenix to taste Delhi Palace, India Palace and Jewel of the Crown.
Pros: Some Punjabi dishes, takeout
Cons: Expensive, Heavy cream in all dishes, restaurant can feel crammed
