All India Cafe - Best Indian Restaurant in Pasadena

Anita

I would give it four stars if it was not for some issues. I was at the restaurant yesterday for lunch with my family, we ordered three thalis and a lamb naan. 1. The kebabs were not at all soft and melt in the mouth type, in fact they were hard and had to be cut into pieces. 2. The rice served was cold, Indian food is always piping hot. 3. The layered paratha was just a tough naan. A paratha is normally loaded with ghee as that is what makes it flaky/layered. 4. A 'tea chai' was priced at over $5!!!! ( It's chai, which means tea). 5. We showed them the menu pamphlet and asked for what THEIR offer said....a 10% discount on the entire order, this was not given at the time of paying the bill. It was given only when pointed out to them. Why is that so?? It's disappointing to know that the restaurant owners take advantage of ignorant people. We were the only Indians there for lunch.

Busy night in Pasadena due to a huge concert at the Rose bowl. Restaurants were very busy. Arrived here on time and found a great table, clean, inviting and warm ambiance. I have a severe gluten allergy, thankfully this place saved my night. We had a delightful dinner with drinks after visiting the Norton Simon museum. See you soon. ✨

We ordered the Baigan bharta (eggplant puree) , raita (yogurt side, kachumber (cumber side), rice and garlic Naan. Every dish was full of flavor just like I enjoy my food. Absolutely a must go if you are in the mood to waken your taste buds and savor spices.

Fantastic experience. The food was outstanding — flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Everything we ordered was delicious. I also really appreciated how welcoming and accommodating the staff were to me and my service dog. They treated us with genuine kindness and professionalism, which meant a lot. It’s rare to find both amazing food and such thoughtful service. Highly recommend.

We’ve been coming to this Indian restaurant for years. We don’t mind the travel for flavorful cuisine that always satisfy. My husband enjoys the Chicken Tika Masala and I the lamb dishes. We normally top off the dinner with galab jamun for dessert and chai tea. Yum!
