Vaigai Indian Kitchen

The previous restaurant was considered one of the better Indian restaurants in the West Valley and has been sorely missed. However, there is a new sheriff in town! As it stands this restaurant is easily the best in the Westside. Eating on a banana leaf is simply better than a plate and likely more sustainable. Today my stomach was satisfied and my future cuisine options look bright again. Try all 4 of the curries and keep going. You'll get your $15 worth.

Tasty food. The buffet menu has many items. Non vegetarian items are really good and the varieties will satisfy a good eater.You can improve their vegetarian options add some more vegetarian dishes. Most of all I loved the desserts and sweet lassi 💓. Felt the buffet is little bit expensive .

By far the best Indian food in Arizona. Even though the quantity in the lunch buffet is unlimited, the quality is very high. The parottas are a treat, and the taste of everything on the plate is very authentic. The staff is super friendly and make sure that no one leaves without eating to their maximum capacity. Too bad the rating scale is limited to 5 stars. It deserves 10 in my opinion!

Amazing and awesome food. Mouth water and flavorful. Very authentic Tamil Nadu style /South Indian food Well it is a new experience for people in US for me it reminded me of home. Location The location of the hotel for Phoenicians is at North west side of the town at Glendale. Also it is off the major highways and ring roads of I10, 17, 101. However the distance didn’t deter the crowds from SE of Phoenicians. 30% of the crowd were from SE Phoenix driving a good 35+ miles to enjoy the mouth watering food. The hotel is also new and there is not a big sign board but a sign on the Glass. So in case they have fitted the sign board look for the Vaigai sign on glass door. Seating You can go in and take a seat for the buffet and don’t wait to be seated unless you are a big party. Reception You will be welcomed by the awesome stewards and they will make you home right away. Food I went for buffet. So cannot say on ala crate. Me and my wife went and I am a vegetarian and my wife is a non vegetarian but does not eat chicken. ***** Five star for the food. The vegetarian food was so homely. The non veg food was good. Tea and Butter milk can be picked up as many fillings as you want. So please pick it up and wait for the food to be served Water is on table and self served. They serve the plate and traditional banana leaf. Authentic. Wowza. Nostalgic memories of food being served like mom serves or served in our functions or in friends place. Bye bye of a buffet. Felt refreshed. Make sure you clean the leaf since it may have some dust. They serve a cup of yogurt, Raita and appalam. Biriyani was the first serving and sure it is like home made. If anyone expects a paradise style Biriyani well you will be disappointed. This is more home made and you can eat every day and will not affect your stomach. So setting the expectations. We also got a starter onion pakora which was awesome. The Sambar, Kootu, more kulambu were all like how mom makes at home. Nothing fancy but again the taste will be good and you can eat everyday. The vegetables were simple Cabbage poriyal and Beetroot poriyal. unlimited omlettes kept coming and coming. The standouts were Kumbakonam style vatha kulambhu and the lady’s finger (Vendakkai) poriyal. Phenomenal. Wrapped with rasam and a payassam. Again payassam is more home made and with jaggery. Less ghee. All in all enjoyed the home food like serving, tastes and the smiley stewards. This is a definite must for every Phoenician and traveler to visit. Couple of things for Vaigai to consider. Since they serve the food and people sit not like in a single thread the serving becomes a hassle. They can consider first servings in katooris and subsequent food served. Thanks for the authentic food and the way how it is served in India making it feel the recipient honored. 3 kudos for the entire team. Always smiling.

The food is amazing. People is so amazing. We cannot complaint if we miss something given. If we ask they will provide as they are taking care of everyone they might miss. This looks like a marriage hall care. That much hospitality. Really worth. I did tried in weekend.
