text: This is me This is me NOT on drugs This is me saying that Guru Palace is just okaynnIts my fault though This happens when I am expecting way too much from a restaurant Guru Palace has been on my list for some time now but after they won Best of Phoenix I had to try them immediately so I made my way over there to enjoy a weekend lunchnnThe restaurant is pretty gorgeous inside mixing traditional art with and industrial and contemporary feel that made me really happy Everything was very clean and there was a lot of open space again I was very happy The food was what started the decline of that happiness though nnSome of the food was very good like the Tikka Marsala it definitely rivals India Ovens recipe and their garlic naan was excellent But some of the food was seriously meh to me I had some of the goat and it was extremely fatty and I have eaten plenty of goat I am Middle Eastern the mint sauce had absolutely no kick and the chicken curry even though it had bones in it did not have that rich flavor that I associate with a great chicken curry nnMy hope is that I missed the dishes that earned this place the Best of Phoenix award and I look forward to eventually making it back here some day to try those dishes Feel free to message me you know what I should try
