Phoenix’s 12 Best Indian Restaurants | Eater Phoenix

"Before Feringhee, high-end Indian dining in the Valley rarely strayed far from the classics. But chef Karan Mittal takes a different approach — plating bold, modern dishes that still feel deeply rooted. The menu builds on regional traditions with colorful, carefully composed plates: paneer layered with spinach saag and red pepper jam, jackfruit pulao bright with saffron and mint, and Kashmiri lamb chops finished in a velvety rogan josh. Familiar staples make way for lesser-seen regional dishes, built with standout ingredients from local favorites like Chula Seafood and Steadfast Farm. Even the cocktails follow suit — the ghee-washed Old Fashioned is a favorite. There’s a bit of Southwest sneaking in too, like the jalapeño-cheddar naan — a playful nod to the restaurant’s desert surroundings. Feringhee brings something new to the table without losing sight of where it comes from." - McConnell Quinn
