This is my favourite and go to place for indian food. They are always very welcoming and friendly. We love most of the items.Specially the butter chicken,korma, alo gobi sabji, Shahi paneer, halwa, bhatura, puri sabji are our favourite. See, the favourite list is long!! If you are in/near Milwaukee, you should visit the place for indian food.

I was directed to try this place by my coworkers. I went in person to order for pick-up, and get the daily special (potato and cauliflower masala with rice) and a mango lassi. The server was friendly and attentive. The food was fresh, flavorful, cheap, and fast. My one issue was that the food was super mild, and I was expecting at least a little bit of a kick. The lassi was so-so, but that’s okay, it was still good. Will definitely be going back!

This place was recommended on a foodie page I follow on Facebook. Definitely worth the trip! Butter chicken & garlic naan was 10/10 so flavorful and thick! Samosas 10/10 rich and the sauces were fresh, I also love trying new drinks thumbs up is just like Pepsi / cola. Would 100% eat here again

The staff was so friendly and recommended some really amazing food. The atmosphere was relaxed and clean. They have an A from the food department. An amazing diverse selection of Indian and south Asian drinks and food. Literally some of the best food I’ve had. I can’t say enough good things!!!

Nice place, food was delicious, seems like the prices were raised due to COVID and inflation. We ordered a Chole-Bhature, Chicken, Paneer, and Fish Curry with Stuffed chicken Paratha and basket of naans. Overall, it was good experience. Owners were friendly and polite. Restrooms were clean.

A restaurant at a gas station without the best atmosphere, but a great service and great food. This is an authentic Punjabi restaurant

The owners and the staff were friendly. I went with my colleague and her friends. They offered many complimentary food since my colleague’s friends are students. We had multiple food items which were really tasty . We had food multiple times during our stay in Milwaukee downtown. I would recommend the place for the quality, price and the service. The price is very less compared to the other places. This is a not big restaurant rather a small eating station with few tables. This is a self service restaurant. I will really go back to this every time I feel to eat Indian food.

Today for lunch I decided to take a stroll to the south side of Milwaukee.. 1st street to a place recommended called Cafe India its in a place that looks like a gas station however I must say during my travels these hidden gems haven’t disappointed me and neither did Cafe India. I was greeted by Rocky. This authentic Indian cuisine was very tasty. With the exact amount of spice. I had Chicken Tikka Masala, Curry Chicken and Chana Masala..Hey don’t judge me it was option 1 on the menu… This special included Naan and a drink for $15 WHOA!! Well worth it! I will be returning.

I don’t usually post on reviews or anything but I just had to. First time going there. From where I was born in England there would be Indian restaurants around every corner.since I moved to America it’s been really to hard to find something with good prices and taste. I can finally say I found one. The food was really tasty, great flavour. The price for what I got was pretty good. Can’t wait to go back again. Definitely something I will tell everyone about it
