This family owned Indian restaurant garnered the New Times 2025 Best Neighborhood Indian Restaurant award, and I have repeatedly heard its name pop up in various social media posts. Of course I had to give it a try, and it's a total thumbs up for me! I had the Chicken Tikka Masala Lunch Platter (pictured below) and it was super good.

### Best Neighborhood Indian Restaurant - Vayal's Indian Kitchen

While the East and West Valleys boast plenty of Indian restaurants, Phoenix proper has been sorely lacking. Vayal’s was such an exciting and welcome addition to the food scene that fans of Indian food, including us, practically knocked down its doors. And then we tried the food and now spend time crossing fingers and toes that this family-run establishment won’t go anywhere anytime soon. Whether it’s a spicy vindaloo or a tikka masala, the sauces are brimming with luscious spice combinations that inspire plate licking, or at least creative thoughts about how to soak it all up with a last bit of rice or naan. Dosas — rice and lentil crepes — are thin and rolled, often filled and known for taking up space. Vayal’s employs the “go big or go home” philosophy with these bad boys. Order one and find out.
