East Phoenix
2A Defries AveYum Cha and fantastic Chinese cuisine
The best Indian restaurant in the area that we have found. It's a little bit far to call walking distance, but it's worth it. They also do home delivery (though we think it's better when you eat there). Great for groups too.

Reasonable prices, byo and great food. It's very trendy though so if you're after a pub meal, you're better off at the Trinity.
