Went with a group of coworkers for the lunch buffet. They sat our table of five quickly and we went straight to the buffet. All of the buffet items I tried were very good and I liked that they had the Indian name and an English description for each item. Very good for $ 8 or $ 9.

Went for the buffet and was not disappointed.
Passage — specializing in North and South Indian cuisine — offers one of the more extensive menus I have seen as an Indian restaurant.
But, please, that isn’t saying much considering my home base is in Tucson where we are fairly short on very good Indian food.
Menu items include kati, pakora, mirchi; soups like sambar and mulligatawny; dosa — yay!; various types of biryani, including goat; korma, curry, saag (one of my favorites), vindaloo; and even Chinese options — what, what? Yes, there’s fried rice and Schezuan noodles on the menu. Random.
Lots of naan, too: plain, garlic, paneer, onion, keema and others.
I especially enjoyed the saag, tikka masala and the aloo gobhi. A few dishes may be lacking in spice and heat, but I am guessing that’s because the buffet is trying to cater to an expansive range of tastes. No problem. I get it.
I like the layout of the place. It is very casual during the afternoon, but has the feeling of being able to dress of very nicely for the evening.
Takes reservations by phone and online.

I’ve been to a lot of Indian Restaurants in the valley and this is hands down the most consistently good one. Chana Masala and Malai Kofta were both perfect and the Naan were delicious. I will only be going here for my Indian food needs for the foreseeable future.

Decided to come back to this gem while I was in the area. I ordered Manchurian Gobi (Deep Fried Cauliflower, sautéed with onions & green peppers) and Lamb Vindaloo. Service was still great and the food was phenomenal. The cauliflower was so tender you could pass it off as meat. The lamb was tender and the sauce was on point, full of flavor & seasoned well.

3.5 Stars.
Came here for the first time based upon solid Unilocal reviews. Typically I go to another Indian restaurant a few miles up the street but decided to gamble on an unknown.
Saturday. Lunch buffet. Noon.
8 – 10 people eating when we arrived.
When we left there at 1230 there was only 1 party left!
Table for 2
First thought upon entering– it’s kinda warm in here — and it’s only 75* outside!
Serving staff of 2 were very friendly and engaging!
Food — decent to good. Not bad. Could be richer. Could be thicker (seemed more watery than the competition up the street). The goat was the best part; plenty of good-sized, meaty chunks. Garlic naan was hot, and good. Mango chutney was on point.
Atmosphere — it’s been stated before that the lighting could improve and I agree. Flood lighting that seems to be like spot lights. Read these reviews and adapt!!! Half way through the meal we had to request the air conditioning be turned down and it was then, making it bearable and comfortable.
$ 2 Heinekens in draft. Yes!
Might come back. Jury’s out.

We eat Indian all across the country and In the UK but this is a great, dependable place in Tempe. I had Chettinadu instead of my standby Vindaloo. It was a very pleasant change. The Chicken Tiki Masala did not taste or cut like normal chicken as it was so tender and flavorful. We were here 3 times during our several week stay. We tried 3 other Indian locations and THIS was the best. Service is only average but go for the food.

Excellent food and customer service. Friendly staff who answered all of my questions. Some of the best Indian food I have ever eaten.

Went there April 2^nd, the hostess sat me in a booth table even though I was alone, I liked that. The servers were two sisters so this is apparently a family business, another plus. They had Heineken on draft, can’t beat that. As for the food, though, I ordered the chicken Tandoori to play it safe. It was prepared smothered with onions, I was not used to that. It was still good but I don’t think all the onions helped. I also ordered a vegetable soup which was quite spicy, but of course that is to be expected with Indian food. Overall the servers were friendly and attentive.
So I will return to Passage to India, but not right away.

I went here Friday for lunch. Great buffet with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The food was good. When they seated me, they asked what type of bread I wanted. They brought fresh Naan — absolutely delicious!!!
Good buffet, good price, I’ll be back!

Favorite go-to place. The food at Passage is always perfectly prepared. The flavors and spices are so delicious. Plenty of choices for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The servers are always kind and attentive. Have never been disappointed and always order extra to take home for later.

Went for the lunch buffet. Clean restaurant and got an A on their health inspection grade. That is really important. Food selection is decent and the taste is good too. Not the best I have had. But not the worst. A plus is that not everything is killer spicy, so it is still edible. The tandoori chicken is really good.

I came here by myself last week. Upon entering it smelled delicious. I was seated at a booth. The service was excellent.
I did find the lighting in the place to be a bit distracting. They had these almost like flood lights outdoor lighting in some of the areas. It felt too bright in the spots and made the restaurant seem industrial, not warm and inviting.
As my usual I got chicken Tikka masala with garlic naan. I thought the chicken Tikka was too salty. The naan was OK seemed a little dry to me. I also had a mango lassi which was delicious.
Overall it seemed like a nice place and maybe there were other dishes that would be delicious, but chicken Tikka masala is my favorite and if I don’t like it then I’m probably not coming back. Also the lighting situation really bugged me. Maybe they don’t turn those bright lights on in the day time.

Being an Indian, It’s not difficult for me to distinguish good and bad India food. This place is by far the best Indian restaurant in the entire valley, yes, i have eaten at several Indian restaurant and can easily say this.
It’s very conveniently located in Tempe. The bar is awesome with wide selection of drinks. The servers and excellent and the owner «Happy» is the best. I have been coming here for 3 years now and the taste has always been consistent. My favorite is Chicken chettinad and Paneer Tikka Masala. That doesnt mean other dishes are not excellent.
I am so glad we finally an Indian restaurant where I can go anytime and take my friends and family and not worry about food quality. I wish i could give 10 stars.

I’ve been coming to this place ever since it opened — 4 years or so. I LOVE the food, atmosphere, and the staff is the best! Happy, the owner, cares about his product and makes sure all of the customers are well taken care of. The bar is awesome for HH. Just writing this review makes me hungry. I’ll probably stop by tonight!
PS — The BS reports of food poisoning make me angry. Their Food Safety score is always an A. They proudly display their inspection reports right at the front entrance (its also public record). If you can’t handle spicy food, just let them know when ordering. They will make sure it is mild.

I love this restaurant, it has the best naan in town, and the amazing chicken marsala is hard to stop when its buffet hour. I really hope this place lasts, that particular location is hidden to people for some reason. I have lived down the street my whole life and some locations are funny. Their food is so good, it will prevail.

Excellent for the whole family. Chicken Tiki masala, lamb Saag, and Chicken with a buttery sauce (cant remember the name of that one but it was excellent for my 10-yr old daughter who had never had Indian food in her life).
Mango Martinis to die for. Butter Naan and Garlic Naan. Rice. We splurged on all that for three people. But the best part is the delicious leftovers we get to take home! Yum.

Our group of 7 tried this place for HH. There are only drink specials which were pretty decent prices.
Everyone love the food so much. We ordered the garlic/butter naan, kati rolls, gobi manchurian, tikka, eggplant curry, okra, so many other tasty dishes. Everyone was sharing the dishes and I loved how the Tikka Masala actually tasted like tomatoes.
The reason why I am giving this place 1 star is that the service was pretty slow, our water glasses were empty… but my guy and I felt really sick after we ate the food. Our tummies were not happy a few hours later and for the rest of the night. What worried me what the most recent reviewer about him and wife getting food poisoning…
I don’t think we will be heading back to PTI any time soon for fear of getting sick again.

Overall, 3.5 stars. Came here to try the lunch buffet. The weekend buffet today included several chicken dishes, 2 biriyani dishes, veggie dishes, a seafood/fish dish, and a goat curry. Some notable examples were chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi, saag, and paneer makhani. Out of all the dishes I enjoyed the chicken tikka masala and the aloo gobi the best for their use of bold flavor and hearty chunks of meat/veggie. Other dishes such as the chicken keema, while nice that it was included in the buffet (You don’t usually see this dish at Indian buffets), tasted slightly underseasoned. I appreciated that you are given the choice of 3 different naans for your table (We chose garlic).
The interior is quite lovely. You can tell a lot of time was placed into making the interior a welcoming, inviting space.
Service was good and the host was doing double duty as waiter. Despite his dual roles he was able to check up on us and refill drinks as needed with a friendly demeanor.
Dessert included kheer (Rice pudding) and gulab jamun. I liked how the kheer was more light, refreshing, and not overly sweet.
Our total for 2 buffet lunches and 2 sodas was around $ 28. The buffet was decent, and had a good variety. If I’m in the area I’d probably stop by again.

Good was pretty good and service was the same. My only issue is that they brought my soup with my entrée — so make sure to ask for soup first if desired.
Butter chicken was nicely prepared. It came with a side of plain rice which was a nice compliment. I also ordered some Buttered Naan. Good as well.
The parking lot was empty as was the restaurant. I am not sure why. The restaurant is a solid 3 stars.
