This is our go to spot for neighborhood Indian. It’s comfortable/cozy, with booth seating for most and some tables outside as well. The food is consistently good, as is service. The staff is really pleasant and helpful. Prices are reasonable at the start, but they also send emails with great discount deals.

We were pleasantly surprised with our meals. The chicken makheni and lamb kebob was tender and juicy. The lamb seemed a tad dried out but it was tender inside. The portions were the right size. Sadly they do not serve bread, it must be ordered and paid for. This varies so much at Indian restaurants. The service was a bit slow but otherwise it was a lovely experience. The chocolate lava cake was intense dark chocolate and a real treat, as we usually do not have dessert. We do plan to return!

This restaurant combines the ambiance of a friendly neighborhood place and really good Indian food. The waiters are unassuming, pleasant and prompt. There are some real treats on the menu, notably the fried spinach and date starter and chicken with pistachio sauce, and an ample array of vegan options. We find something new to enjoy each visit. There is a full bar, and some surprisingly good inexpensive wines.

The food here is very good, and the noise level low. Additionally, the service is very professional and attentive, and street parking is always available. Cafe is much better than some of the higher priced establishments. Their crackling spinach is the best I've had.

The service at Cafe of India is excellent. The food is very good. It made in an authentic Indian style, although conservative with the heat and overall spices to appeal to an American palate. Please note, we have only eaten during the weekend buffet. The value, variety and quality are excellent. All the food is made with fresh ingredients and appeals to patrons of all ages. We plan to visit for dinner soon to taste additional menu items and to inquire about "Indian spice" options. The majority of the menu is gluten free and there is a large variety of vegetarian options. There is a beautiful party room available to host groups and events on the second level.
