Since the pandemic, I have only ordered food from Cafe India through Uber Eats. Coming back to the restaurant in person after a few years was exciting.

I liked the service and the atmosphere. However, food wise none of the items we ordered were good. We ordered a veg platter and pistachio milkshake. Samosa were so bad with big potatoes inside and milkshake was more milk with very less ice cream and more watery.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe India Eastern Indian Cuisine, and I must say it was an exquisite experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was captivated by the warm and inviting ambiance that embraced me. The restaurant’s commitment to creating an authentic Indian dining experience truly shines through every aspect of their service.

Very nice Indian restaurant, we went on Saturday for lunch, it was not much crowded. We ordered cheese pakora, garlic naan, kulcha and karahi paneer. All these were too good and really loved it, especially cheese pakora with dips. Also ordered veg biryani, it was kind of ok and not so great, had too many vegetables and taste is kind of ok. Service is good and items are served pretty much quick, has decent enough parking space.

Great little spot for some authentic tasting Indian food. A little worn down but the food is tasty nonetheless. No lunch buffet anymore.

I ordered the dinner for two (non vegetarian). The main dishes that stood out were chicken tikka masala and lamb sali boti. I especially enjoyed the chicken tikka masala. The curry was full of flavor and rich in spices. Definitely would come back to explore their other dishes.

Been coming here for 20 years and everything has been great until recently. The service is horrible now with the new waitresses. We were the only table in there and they were constantly staring at us and whispering making us feel super uncomfortable. They were rude and rolled their eyes at us every time we ordered or asked for something. Food isn’t as great as it used to be. Not to mention they had children there working for them. Will not be back, sadly after coming here for so long.

I’d driven by this place numerous times and was curious. We decided to stop by for dinner recently and was pleasantly surprised! The building itself does need a little TLC, but the staff were all very nice and the food was delish!
