I had the chicken chili and garlic Naan. The Naan could have used a little more flavor but the chicken chili was delicious and everything was made fresh. The chicken was a little spicy to be sure to ask about that when you order. It is inside a food mart but there are places to sit. The portions were so big that i had to get a to go container. Overall a delicious meal and I will be back to try more dishes.

I found my new favorite cultural grocery store! This place has all your grocery needs from Hispanic to Indian to African and everything more! They even had an Indian eatery inside & the food was so delicious! 😋 Lastly, the gentleman who cashed me out and took my order was very friendly and provided great customer service. 10/10 I definitely recommend checking this place out!

SO GOOD 😋 I ordered the butter chicken, rice and NAAN. Listen I am a very healthy eater, but THIS I downed the whole thing - easily 3 servings for a woman my size. I walked in and saw them preparing food midday which tells me everything is freshly prepared. I WILL be back again and maybe next time I won’t overstuff myself. HIGHLY recommend

This is a wonderful place to get your Indian food to take home. It’s inside a world food market, if you’re looking for items that you wouldn’t normally find in other grocery stores. The staff a friendly and they take pride in their meal preparation. I’ve always loved to have their Indian food.

Two times in a row they’ve messed up an online order. No need to go into details because it’s totally human error. The language skills at all levels is terrible. Call in orders are the same. Items you’ve paid for are missing.
Order in person or know how to speak in Paki. Great food but help is helpless.

My family had an amazing experience at Indian Cafe. The flavors were authentic and vibrant, from the perfectly spiced samosas to the rich and creamy butter chicken. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the naan was warm and fresh. The service was excellent, making the entire meal even more enjoyable. If you're looking for delicious Indian food, this place is a must-try!

Absolutely the best Indian food I've ever had. I like spice but not super spicy and the guy helping me helped me pick the best ones! I now know what to order and you bet I will be back. Even my husband who doesn't love Indian food was eating it and complimenting it! Thank you so much for a great experience. I will definitely be back!

I was in the area and decided to give it a try. I arrived 5 minutes after kitchen closed. Gentleman behind the counter was super polite and he was still willing to make me something. I told him anything vegetarian and simple/quick for him was perfect with me and I would take it to go. My meal was Vegetarian Biryani. It was outstanding, beautiful, spectacularly flavorful, and the portion was super huge. I ate it again today for lunch with leftovers. I will be back when in the area again for sure. Huge thank you to the Chef and staff for the willingness to still make me a meal. I tipped them very well too because of that alone. After eating I wish I’d of tipped them more. I will make it up to them again next visit.

A decent restaurant with potential. However, I had a few concerns during my visit. Firstly, there’s no visible halal certification — this can be important for customers like us who specifically seek authentic halal food. Displaying a certificate would build more trust.

The place is relatively small and may not accommodate larger groups comfortably. I ordered chicken biryani for a group of six and drove 80 miles to pick it up. Unfortunately, the spice level was too high, and we weren’t asked for our preference. A simple question about spice tolerance could make a big difference, especially for takeout customers.

Hygiene standards could also use some attention to ensure a better overall experience. That said, I don’t intend to underrate the business. I truly hope they take this feedback constructively and work toward improvements. Wishing them all the best for future growth.

The Veg samosa was delicious, perfect flaky pastry. Finished off with the lamb biryani, the heat and flavors were amazing. I will definitely be coming back again. Have room in the fridge for leftovers, the portion size is very generous 😉.
