THE INDIA CAFE REVIEWS

Hole in the wall restaurant with friendly service and delicious yet affordable food (their lunch menu is a steal). I really enjoyed the chicken pakora, the breading was light and crispy. The garlic naan that comes with the lunch special was huge, I like that they don't skimp on their portions. Their keema naan was pretty good, especially paired with their chutneys. I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their menu.

My friends and I didn’t know where we wanted to eat for my birthday dinner, we were walking across the street and smelled something HEAVENLY. Realized it was coming from the cute little Indian cafe and we all decided to eat here. 12/10 experience, amazing service and hospitality and even more amazing food! We live about an hour away but we will be coming back here for future dinners.

Lunch special was amazing and an awesome amount of food for the price. The butter chicken and the Lamb korma were both great. We tried the mild and medium spice levels, and they were accurate to their names. Will be back if we’re in the area again.

ANDAAZ CUISINE OF INDIA REVIEWS

I had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! I ordered the chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, and lamb tikka masala with rice and naan, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, and I will definitely be coming back. The owner was incredibly polite and even offered me a sample of their special fish dish, which was also fantastic. I also learned that the owner plans to change the name to a more traditional name associated with India, which I think is a great idea. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh and delicious food.

Incredible food and lots for a good price! I got chicken Tikka Masala and my husband got chicken Biryani. Plenty for leftovers. Very tender and flavorful. I would recommend getting mild if you can't do spice like me.

Great food and service. Delicious Butter chicken and the garlic Naan was top notch. I have never had Shrimp better than here, thanks for the suggestion.

TASTE OF INDIA REVIEWS

My first time eating at Taste of India and I chose the right spot. This restaurant was very welcoming and understanding towards us. They offer varying meal options so that you won't be overwhelmed. The owner explained the dishes and offered suggestions which was very helpful for my party. They offer generous portions for the price. Thanks for a wonderful lunch !!.

I got three-entrees combo with a garlic naan. The foods were really good especially the red chicken with onion. Definitely will come back to try other naans.

Wonderful food here! Very flavorful Indian food. I ordered so much because everything on the menu looked so good! (And they were!!!!).
