My husband and I had eaten here before. It was great. This time was different. It was horrible. I should have known when the place was empty at lunch. My husband had perfectly prepared lamb chops before. He ordered them this time and THIS is what was put on the table before him. Disgusting!!

This is probably the worst indian restaurant in town. I should have realized that when the place was empty. The guy who took our order was rude, forgot the glass of wine we ordered and when asked again was so mad about it and got us red instead of white wine we ordered. The waiter yelled at my friend who had his leg folded up on the booth. Worst of all the food was bad. Had no flavor with frozen veggies. Will NOT be going back here.

I only really give reviews if I experience outstanding service or absolutely horrible service. If I could give zero stars for India Cafe, I would. Terrible service.

The food is very tasty with several options. They brought us one bowl of naan bread but did not ever offer more. They did not offer mango lassie. The reason for the rating is the cleanliness of the restaurant. I had several plates that were dirty. My knife had stuff on it. The chair I sat in was broken.

Food was good but it’s very uncomfortable dining in. The two times I’ve been there is only been me and my companion in the restaurant. Last time I went a waiter stared at my friend and I for about a minute when we walked in the doors. He acted like he was confused why we were even there. It was a miserable experience. If you want to eat here, just get takeout. But I’ll be trying other places now.

Very good! We dined in and husband got the lamb vindaloo, very spicy and I got the lamb tikka masala, medium spice. They came with basmati rice and we ordered a bread basket as well. Very flavorful and spicy! My medium spice was a little more than I could handle. The naan was great. We will definitely be back (and I’ll watch my spice level).

I met a friend there recently- we always used to go there for the buffet pre-pandemic. Of course there’s no buffet any longer, so that made choosing what to get a little more difficult. Friend and I got the same thing- his mild and mine spicy. When it arrived, mine was not spicy at all. I asked the server when he returned if it could be more spicy and he took it back to the kitchen and returned with it, spiced up. I could’ve had it even spicier, but I understand their hesitation as the average person in Indiana does not have great spice tolerance.
