Bindaas Indian Street Food Cafe — Restaurant in Tempe

Very bad place. Do not visit if you have the chance. The last few times I visited the cashier said there is no food available (this was 1 hour before closing hours) and when we asked the staff from the kitchen whether or not the food was available, they replied that the food was indeed available. The food here is good but the service by the cashier is 0/10. Which place closes and stops serving food 1.5 hours before closing time. Another instance was when we ordered 4 chicken dum biryani and the cashier (same guy) placed the biryani boxes in plastic covers. We requested for extra covers as we felt that the bag could not hold the weight of the biryani boxes but the cashier replied "The bag will hold the weight because I tied it perfectly" and denied giving extra covers. The place is very good and the food is probably the best Indian food in the area and the quantity of the food is very generous but the cashier and the service is very bad at this place.

The cashier seems to show a lot of head weight and was stingy. He is acting as if he owns the restaurant and he was very rude to us(ASU students). He literally said "These covers can withstand the weight" and he was not providing us with extra covers.

And also, when we asked if there was any vegetarian food, he said that there is no vegetarian food available at 9pm. There is still 1hr left for the hotel to close. Worst customer service ever and i request the management to kindly check before appointing such...

My honest experience was sadly not a pleasant one. Ordered dahi batata puri, vada pav and chicken chilli and sadly none of those items were worth making us want to come back for more. I am from Mumbai, and honestly the vadapav was nowhere even close to the real deal. Pressed between two oversized buns the vada was basically a turmeric patty. If someone who has never known what a vadapav tastes like has it, idk he probably might not have any complains as he has no expectations to start for, but once you know what the real stuff tastes like and then have this, the disappointment is hard to make up for. Ofcourse I am not expecting the same taste as that of India, but atleast it should be somewhere close to it is the basic expectation. Unfortunately the chutneys that accompanied with it were bland and lacked flavor too. With Chaat we are always looking for a flavorful zesty bite, here as well, the chutneys lacked the punch and missed to hit the right spot. My friend ordered the chilli chicken and he couldn't even finish his dish entirely. I don't know if it was just one of their bad days and we happened to visit then, but super let down by the food. I was so excited reading the menu and seeing all the food pictures, if only the food tasted as lovely...
