What Customers think of us
Excellent food at excellent prices!
Cafe of India makes a great Madras Chicken, Dal Makhani, and Crackling Spinach – all dairy-free. They have a monthly promotion, usually 10-15% of a take-out of dine in order (if you sign up for their list – does not apply to delivery). They have a extensive vegan section, too. Highly recommend!

Best Indian Food
I’ve had Indian food all over the country and internationally, and I would say this was the best Indian food I’ve had in my life. Everything was super fresh, flavorful, dynamic without being overly salty or sweet, just delicious and interesting and well balanced. I can’t recommend it enough. The cherry on top is that it’s also super reasonable. Parking is a little dicey in that area but if you look in the residential neighborhoods, you’ll eventually find something. If you can, Uber to it that’s even better.

Highly Recommended
We really enjoyed this place. We had the chicken vindaloo, butter chicken, mixed platter, and chicken with spinach. All were very good. Service was great. I would definitely recommend this place.
