We had recent visit at Om Bistro and here is quick summary; Food is definitely worth mentioning .. It was delicious and freshly prepared. Whatever I have ordered, would be worth mentioning. You should visit this place for South Indian as well as special menu item like Indian-Chinese as well as Punjabi. Overall Food spice level is bit on higher side so request you to check if you are going with kids. I would rate Food 4 out 5. Now lets talk about facility which concerned me. The table was not cleaned properly. A big concern was Air conditioning which was turned-off around 910-0915 PM (official closing time is 10PM). When asked the reason I heard - "AC is on timer".:( I would not have complained if this place would have been in upstate NY place. But in Phoenix Summer weather, when the outside Temp is 100 F at 930 PM and these guys turned-off the AC to save some $$. This is really pathetic. Inside the Washroom, Water was dripping from AC outlet and pouring into a bucket. The entire floor was wet and there was no warning sign Wet Floor. It could have resulted into accident if any elderly person walks into Restroom. The other issue was they put-up "Closed Sign" around 0930 PM on FRIDAY when their closing time for FRI is 10 PM. On Facility side, I would rate 1 out of 5 based on my experience.

Average at best - I have been going here for a year now as it is really close to my residence, it started with a bang, the food quality was good, the quantity was appropriate and there were some good weekly offers to lure the crowd in, BUT in past 3 months every visit has been going south at-least for me, the food quality is on decline, the portion size is shrinking, usual condiments served with the dishes have vanished - I know that the restaurant is trying to expand but the management should understand that the penny pinching route by compromising on the quality and service is going to bite it back. I am going to think twice now before going again and the sentiment is same among my circle. Somehow this has been the common trend with Indian restaurants in the valley, they start well then loose their sight and ultimately shut down and this may soon join the list if it doesnt get back on track...

One of the worst experiences I ever had in my life. We ordered Indian Paan and after having the paan our tongues started burning like hell. All of us had the same bad experience.We think the guy who prepared it put lots of Sunnam( Edible limestone) and it was like hell for us for couple of days. And except dosa, whatever we have ordered Chaat, Veg Cutlets, Puri, Paneer kulcha were very bad not i can say they r not fresh and even we bought a cake as well which was worst cake we ever had. Everything went into trash. We will never visit this place again and this is the worst Indian restaurant to visit in Phoenix.

They dont know how to receive their customers. We were in queue and asked for tasting jilebi(sweet), one of their staff(lady women) give us a literally very small piece. I dont how they know the taste by eating such a small piece and we didnt came to your restaurant just for eating samples. We purchased about 40 bucks worth of food and this is how they treat their customers. Thanks for your great service and now we got to know we should not go to this place again. And people who are visiting this place try to avoid asking them samples for taste. FYI

An odd melange of Indian, South Indian with some Chinese and Mexican dishes too. Order at the counter, but prepared to be confused, and delayed. They call out your number when it is ready. They have Indian pizza, and Indian ice cream. If you are with other people, simultaneous eating cant be accomplished. The couple we were with with ordered after us, got served first. Confusing. Decor is 21st century airport. They are Southern Indian, and their versions of "mild" were way too HOT. OVER PRICED and small portions.

Please DO NOT expect a good meal here. All the appetizers are way too oily. If you want to come here for lunch, please expect to wait at least one hour for your food. The staff is extremely rude and unhelpful. We ordered to go and ended up waiting for an hour. When we went to ask what the delay was, we were told they forgot to write down the order. I ordered bisi bele bath to go and was given just half the quantity of what they usually serve. This is just a horrible place to eat in phoenix

Pastries, cakes, and cookies in the bakery case that Ive tried so far have all been very good. The menu is mostly tiffins and is all veg. The dosa is crispy and has almost perfect taste and texture, but masala dosa could use a bit more masala. My favorite item is the onion chili tomato uttapam, which is soft and savory. We frequently come on weekends but sometimes week nights. There is always a lot of South Indians there eating - always a good sign for more authentic ethnic foods.

I ordered Gujarati thali... They had only Punjabi thali..so anyways ordered... Did not get daal... Every thali should have daal.. They gave 3 Currys .. And only half naan..roti.. Which did not go well.. As it was not enough... I agree the taste of all the things in the dish was good... But not good proportions or combinations... I can live in any situation but when it comes to thali here .. My expectations here were shattered... Not good experience...

OM was recommended by a neighbor and qualified as my first Indian dining experience. As such I have no frame of reference but I will say that the place is very clean and the service was friendly. Having no clue what to order I went with the "lunch special". It was 2 curries, naan bread, rice and a few other items. Overall it was good, but not great. However the menu is huge and I will definitely come back to delve further into the food.

The few times I have been here since it opened, the food has consistently tasted good. Hope this place doesnt slide into the typical trend of Indian restaurants reducing in quality over a period of time. Tuesdays have buy one get one free deal on dosas. Thats a great deal. Tuesdays and Wednesdays have buy one curry, and get the second 50% off, which is not bad either. Never seen such deals in Valley Indian restaurants before.

Om Indian Bistro has always been a reliable place to eat. Theyve excellent offerings with the starters. The Biriyani and Indo-Chinese is quiet average, chat are pretty decent. However, Chole Bhature and South Indian food is quiet outstanding. The collection of Dosa can be quiet overwhelming. Ive never been disappointed at Om Bistro. MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER than wasting your money at Pastries n Chat.

I am a Non-Veg guy. But I really enjoyed the VEG meal here. We bought a Masala Dosa & a Lunch Box. Both were really above expectation. The ambiance was also really good. They have child high chairs also. They have a good bunch of sweets, pastries & chats also. They will take custom cake orders also. They opened this restaurant recently. I hope they will keep this standard going forward. Lets see.
