LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! We were in the mood for Indian food. To my fellow Yelpers, THANK YOU. Yet again, you came through. Met up with my cousin and her husband here for lunch. This was the first time for all of us eating at All India Cafe. I don't rate many restaurants with 5 stars, but this place was on point on everything - food, ambiance and customer service. Our waitress was Prit. She elevated our dining experience to the next level with her recommendations and friendliness. What we ordered: Drinks - Mango lassi, Indian ice tea and Indian lemonade. Mango lassi is always a fave. It wasn't too sweet. The lemonade was refreshing. It's a perfect summer drink. Indian mint ice tea with sweetener on the side was also a solid choice. Appetizer - Samosa and Vada Pav sliders. Samosa are a must every time we eat Indian food. This is not negotiable in our house. The samosa was exactly what we expected. I love the mint chutney with this. Vada Pav, recommended by Prit, was a first for us and OMG! YES, please. Prit did not steer us wrong. Lunch Plates - Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish Tikka and Chicken Tikka with saffron rice and of course, garlic naan. Chicken Tikka Masala is always a fave. Fish Tikka, recommended by Prit, were thick cuts of fish. The pieces weren't dry and the seasoning was perfect. The seasoning didn't over power the fish. My cousin's husband liked the chicken tikka too. Ambiance - The decorations were beautiful. They had a Bollywood movie playing on the TVs. The Indian music playing in the background was not too loud. I didn't find myself yelling across the table to be heard. There's a beautiful mural on the left wall when you walk in. Will we come back? You better believe we will!THANK YOU All India Cafe for a great dining experience.

first of all, the food isn't even the star of the show, but the SERVICE is incredible. Both the server and the owner consistently checked in on us and were so incredibly kind, and the server has such amazing energy when giving us her recommendations (which she was absolutely spot on about btw!) Honestly 10/10 and so welcoming. The food only makes it better, with both the presentations and flavors being absolutely what you would expect from amazing indian cuisine! the appetizer Pani Puri Shots were SOOO GOOD and the presentation was beautiful. our final check after ordering around 5 items for two people came to around 50 dollars which is GREATTT for LA! We will definitely be back!

This was my first time having Indian food and I absolutely loved it. Defiantly try their homemade pistachio ice cream.

Nice mural when you walk in, All India cafe has an Indian food lovers dream there chicken tikka Marsala was the best dish I've tried yet it's very authentic. The service was great they served me quick and fast we only waited about 5 minutes and our food was ready we ordered the fun for 2 royal feast combo, it came with plain naan but if you want you can upgrade to garlic naan which is way better but it was still really good. The ambience of Indian culture was amazing they have beautiful Indian painting in the background they have panjabi music playing that soothes your ears.

My favourite Indian restaurant in LA! The food is amazing, the portions are generous, and the staff is so sweet - especially Prit!

EXCELLENT INDIAN FOOD IN GLENDALE ================================= I have been to All India Cafe's newer restaurant in Glendale many times and I can't believe I forgot to write a review. My husband is a regular at their restaurant on Fair Oaks in Pasadena and he says he can tell a difference between the chicken tikka masala. I really can't. We are hooked on the chicken tikka masala so we always order the lunch special. See my photos. We especially love that salad dressing. We ordered the Pani puri shots and they were great. I also ordered a Maharaja Fashion to drink and that was delicious. They add a little saffron and that was a nice addition.

One of my fav spots for Indian food. It is probably a 4.5, and only goes down a notch because the consistency is not 100%. That might be a little unfair, but the service is so good and the people so nice it is impossible to say anything. Love to sit inside, outside you are removed from a lot of the elements and decorations. I visit every once in a while and it never disappoints.

My bestie and I met here for lunch during our work break. I bookmarked the Pasadena location a while back after it showed up in my feed a few times, and later realized they had a second location here in Glendale, right off of Brand - easier for my bestie to get to. After being seated, we were handed a traditional menu as well as a shorter menu of fusion/street food options. We opted to order from the second menu, sharing a plate of Vada Pav sliders and the Gulabi Farfalle. The vegetarian sliders were small spicy potato patties in buns, a twist on a popular Indian street food. The gulabi farfalle was a creamy tomato pasta with a hint of Indian spices. Both dishes were pretty good, making All India Cafe a solid choice for Indian/ fusion food. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

Well this a pretty nice little spot nestled at the heart of Glendale. Just walking in, it's easy to be enamored by the lovely decor and intimate lighting. . Now, when it comes to the Punjabi cuisine, they stuck with your traditional dishes, and added an interesting Gulabi Farfalle Pasta dish that saffron curry base with bell pepper, coriander, turmeric, and cumin. To start with, the Pani puri shots made from tamarind and mint spices was a refreshing amuse bouche that helps cleanse and prepare your palate for the delicious food to come. The potato samosa was dense, but in a good way, with more potato than breading, which you can get from some other places. The mint and tamarind chutney paired well with the samosa. The onion pakora similarly struck a nice balance of crispness and savoriness without being too oily. Simple, but delicious! On the drink side, the mango laasi is one of the thickest I've had and yet it wasn't too sweet, either. It was refreshing. The same can be said with the Chai which was spiced well, but not sweetened at all. It tasted like actual Chai. As for the entree, the two best was the butter chicken and the Gulabi Farfalle Pasta, while the Saag Paneer and Tandoori were a bit underseasoned and less memorable. But the tandoori, which was not red because they don't use red food coloring, struck a nice level of tenderness and was not too dry, which I have found with some tandoori chicken. The garlic Naan had a very nice crispy texture to it, but I would love a bit more kick with the garlic. So the best two are the butter chicken, which you can never go wrong at any Indian restaurant, and particularly here. It was savory, filling, but not too heavy. It can be too salty if not balanced with some basmati rice, but it's not too rich, either. The Gulabi Farfalle was the most surprising and adventurous of the dishes tonight, combining two different worlds in one dish with bow tie pasta and the saffron curry base with bell pepper, coriander, turmeric, and cumin.
