Chennai Fusion Grill

Good Indian food. They had special «chai» other than gulab jamuns in desert (which I loved the most), sweet pongal etc in buffet. Mutton biriyani, chicken makhani, egg fry, aloo fry are worth a try.

Gotta say this place was a great little find. The food is so fresh and so worth it. Only thing is they took a little long to get us water and to bring our food. Otherwise the waitress described the food on par and the taste was authentic and fantastic.

As delicious as the food is, we were seated by the door and a cold breeze blew over us every time the door opened, our food took a long time to come, and the staff was a bit inattentive.

I have tried this place for weekday lunch buffet.
Both Friday and non-​Friday. Their buffets have some very good food items, very flavorful, true to indian taste.
The Friday buffet has some really good additions to the menu, including sweet desserts.
They are friendly, the place is clean and well-​lighted, and popular.
Would also highly recommend for non-​vegetarian items and vegetarian items, there are plenty and all are very good. That is a rare for any Indian restaurant.
I will try a la carte one of these days, and update my review.

Portion sizes are small and items can be pricey for the size. The tandoori chicken is fantastic.. Got it with the garlic Naan, which was fluffy and flavorful. Samosas are big, hot, and filling. Good eats all around.

The restaurant closes at 9:30pm but we were not let inside at 9pm saying that the kitchen has already closed. Hope they understand change the restaurant time to 8:30 or 8:45pm whenever the kitchen is closing

Hands down the best south Indian food I have had in the valley! I am from Chennai, and I could say that the food was almost as good as a good restaurant back home! We ordered a bunch of food, paper masala roast, the lamb curry, kothuparotta, and roasted eggplant. The masala in the dosa was perfect, not hot, not overpoweringly spicy, just enough to taste the potato mashed. The lamb curry was marinated in what I could imagine was only heaven, and the kothuparotta took me back 15 yrs ago when I stood on the roadside and had the most epic discussions with my friends. Indeed quite authentic! I really thought the quantity of food was small from the photos on Unilocal,but the kothuparotta was huge, and masala roast was huge too. And let me say that I am a pretty big guy who eats a LOT!
And to top it off, the people there genuinely like to serve food (after all my grandma used to say nothing beats the pleasure of seeing the smile of a satisfied stomach!). The guy who sat us down apologized for a wait delay, when there was hardly not even a minute of standing involved in a moderately busy evening! That was so epic a gesture of hospitality. And the rest of the service was extraordinary (of course my mouth was stuffed with amazing food, so it barely lifted the head :)). Yes it is a little bit pricey than others, but let me tell you for the amazing quality and quantity, its worth every penny!
If you are a chennaite like me missing home food, you should definitely check it out, and even if otherwise its a definite checkout restaurant that you need to cross off your list!
I will be back very soon! And I just hope the guys can keep up this high level for years to come! Thank you for the service people! You guys rock!

Best Gobi Manchurian Ever.
For those who may not know some of the best Indian food is really Asian fusion, we oped for the happy hour specials. We had a gobi Manchurian, amazing crunchy battered coliflour in a savory spicy red sauce. Be ware the spice level here is set to authentic and delicious.
We also had the noodles with veggies, Think yakisoba with a bit of an Indian twist and a masala doa. All of the flavors were amazing and spicy.
There is tons of seating so getting a table should not be an issue, it is clean, and service is good. Happy hour prices on chaat and other great items make this a top pick if you like food with some heat.

Good service and friendly atmosphere. . The food had a perfect balanced of spices and great presentation.

Me and my husband have been there many times and we love their food. The lunch buffet is amazing with so many options to select from.

I ordered Biryani and that is not called biryani in any part of the world. They seem to take everyone for granted. Cooke rice and later mixed some meat in the rice and call its biryani. Never going back there ever again. stay away from this place travellers esp if you are from bay area where biryani is done right.

I Will Definitely give Five Stars to this Place. What a Great variety of Best food they have. I Love the food every time whenever I visit. I Like their Gobbi Manchurian very much and today When I went they had Mushroom Manchurian which was super tasty. I will definitely recommend their Chicken curry, Idli, Kal Dosa.However.Their Deserts like GulabJamun, MangoHalva are so delicious and very yummy for
4 years and almost 2 years old Love to eat Deserts
Mom came From India and She also Love this place. According to my Choice, This is the Only Best South Indian Restaurant which has a combination of great taste and vary varities so far anybody can have cravy for it once enter into this place. Even Staff is so Friendly and
why wait Go and Enjoy… Super Food, Super Taste and Super Restaurant.

top indian buffet. Used to be just ok but recently changed a lot and now it is my No.1 Indian restaurant.

Meh. It’s decent Indian and has a decent selection but the high quality isn’t there and they really skimp on the meats on their buffet.
Not to mention the Tandoori is really dry and seems like they cook it days before and microwave it or something. Kinda has a very weird sandy texture.
I’d skip it. Better Indian food around and $ 12.99 is a lot for a buffet of this quality.

I would give this restaurant three stars for their lunch buffet which was pretty decent and I have had this at least four to five times now. Today I went their for dinner and was terriblly disappointed. It started out really well with gobi manchurian which I think is the best in this valley after that it was complete downhill. Service was below par. People do know the difference between dahi vada and dahi bala chat. They bought us two dahi vada and argued that one is dahi balla chat. Anyways dahi vada was not that good either. Noodles was a joke. expected an indianised version but it was still american version. South indian dosa and sambar was not good as well although the restaurant is named after an south indian city. It is sad to not see a worthy indian restaurant in our valley.

WOOOOOOOOOOASHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWW!
I love this place! Best indian Food in Duhhhhrizona. Ive been to many indian restaurants, this one has the biggest best cleanest selection and sometimes even a desert buffet? Seriously this is the best …
Only suggestion is get those dosas out faster my friends! gonna need to for all the chutneys and curries and tasty goodness … Oh thank you or this magnificent food place.

Not even worth one star. Literally had to throw the food. It was that bad. I can’t understand how people give great reviews for such kind of food. Not going back ever.

Came by for the $ 9.99 lunch buffet since some of my friends really wanted to try it! ⁴⁄₅ stars since it’s pretty good and I’d have no reservation in going back but it seemed very comparable to the other Indian buffets I’ve had in Tempe. The chicken makhani was well spiced and very tender and I also enjoyed the goat biryani. They have plenty of both meat and vegetarian options such as the saag paneer and they had a dish called chili chest nut that tastes very similar to orange chicken! Fresh naan and dosa is brought to your table as well. They have a few dessert options (rice kheer) as well as cantaloupe and a limited salad bar as well. I tried a couple of the rice kheer desserts and one had a mango flavor which I loved and one that was more of a coconut flavor that I didn’t like as much. There’s definitely a large variety of dishes here for 9.99!

$ 10 bucks for lunch buffet.
Wowza ;) I happened upon this place accidentally.
I was meeting a person from the internet in this parking lot to sell them my water cooler and just happened to be HANGRY, naw mean??? So after my sale, naturally I waltzed my hangry ass in there. Perfect timing, because it was about 12:15 and the lunch crowd was just starting to pour in. Just in time to swoop in and get my sampler plate goin before the line backed up.
Score.
So, to start off, the buffet line is pretty big! I’ve only been in Indian buffets in Mesa, so maybe this is a Chandler thing. Or maybe it’s just Chennai Fusion Grill’s thing. Either way, the selection of vegetarian and non-​veg was decent.
My game plan with all buffets is get one plate and get a small spoonful of every single thing. Back at the table I taste it all and that’s how I decide what I’ll be mowing down for my money’s worth ;) I’m a professional, what can I say.
Initial spoonful sampler plate taste test was a success. I was pleasantly surprised that everything I tasted was REAL delicious. Spices aplenty. Very very tastey. Of course my favorite always ends up being the tikka masala. Or, I think it’s palaak tikka masala? (The yummy cheese squares in the tikka masala sauce. NOM NOM)
I did have to wait quite awhile to receive my naan, but that’s only because there was just one girl waiting tables and also running cashier. I would assume this is their typical staffing on a weekday at lunch. Not a problem for me since it’s my day off and I’m not in a hurry at all. I noticed people had to wait about 5 minutes to cash out as well for the same reason, but nobody seemed upset. It was mostly business people on their lunch break, so maybe they’re close by and they’ve all been here before and they know the drill. Sweet.
Oh! I’m not usually into Indian desserts, but I was very impressed with their savory recipes, so I did the ol’ spoonful plate test with their deserts. There were two rice pudding type desserts (no, definitely don’t know the names) and a fruit custard, and then this hot milk soup thing. One of the rice puddings had a WEIRD aftertaste! Not necessarily bad, nor unpleasant, but I wouldn’t get it again. The hot milk soup dessert was the winner for me. I asked what it was called and she said something like «picee» which, of course, I’ve spelled wrong and would have no idea how to Google it. Damn delicious is what it is.
Bottom line: go in for lunch!
I’m going to bring the man in here to try it out. Hell I’m bringing everyone in here.

Main Points:
–Variety of cuisine, both North and South Indian food
–Accomodates groups
–Good for catering
Review:
I was lucky enough to be a part of the preview day before the grand opening, and I was not disappointed! I’d like to point out that I have no relationship or previous bias to the owners/​restaurant, rather I was invited to taste the cuisine because of an upcoming event that we’ll need catered. I tasted at least 20 different food items this restaurant had to offer and everything was very good or better.
The owners, as well as the head chef, are extremely friendly and accommodating, and if you have an event to cater for, they are easy to work with. My favorites of the night were the chicken tikka and the tandoori chicken… I’ve had these dishes at several Indian restaurants and I’d say this restaurant made them the best of AZ Indian restaurants (hence the 5 stars).
The head chef was previously at Karaikudi Palace in Scottsdale, so if you were a fan of that you’ll likely enjoy this food. Check out the lunch buffet to try a variety of dishes.
