    Great neighborhood restaurant -- staff were very helpful with our order. Selected the lunch special of chicken tikku masala that came with jasmine rice, salad and dal of the day (lentil soup). Also ordered the garlic naan, and everything was sooo delicious. Couldn't decide on dessert, so they offered us a taste of their rice pudding, which was also very tasty. Great family owned restaurant, and we will be back again.

    Tikka Shrimp Lunch Salad

    I decided to stop by for lunch. The restaurant is bright and nicely decorated with Indian decor. I was immediately greeted by 2 staff members of the restaurant and was seated. They immediately brought me menus. I ordered the Maderas Margarita and Tikka Shrimp Salad with an upgrade for the garlic naan off of their lunch special menu. They had really fun names for their cocktails. The Maderas Margarita was interesting. The taste of the jalapeno was bold, the way it should be for a spicy margarita. There was mashed mint and cilantro in it. The drink tasted more like a mojito than a margarita. Nonetheless, it was well presented with a jalapeno on the rim of the glass for decoration and the drink was very much enjoyable. The Tikka Shrimp Lunch Salad was full of flavor. There was grilled mushrooms, diced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and mozzarella cubes in it. The grilled shrimp was deliciously grilled. The house dressing seem to be done your of Indian spices vinaigrette which was very interesting. I would say that the spice level on this was mild to medium. I enjoyed this dish. The garlic naan bread was served fresh. It was the perfect thickness where you can experience both the crispiness and the soft bread at the same time. The garlic flavor wasn't overpowering. It was nicely done. I would definitely return to try other items and perhaps their happy hour menu.

    We came here with friends as we're British and have high expectations of Indian food. We've now been here a few times and I must say the quality of food is excellent and the service is a very good standard. The owner walks around and checks in on all the guests. The ambience is very relaxed and the experience is fantastic for a local restaurant. They have a location in Pasadena and another one in Glendale. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want. Good quality, Indian food. We've tried most of the curries on the menu and biryani's. The tandoori platter is also excellent quality. I recommend the chai, it's very well flavored and refillable.

    Amazing Indian restaurant in the SGV! Very friendly service. Accommodated us for outdoor seating with our pug. Inside ambience is nice. Food is delicious. Brought me back to my fond memories of traveling India. The Vegetable Curry was great. The naan came out warm and tasty. The Pani Puri was so solid, bursting with flavor. Also love the unlimited refills on the chai tea. Will definitely come back

    chicken tikka masala dinner

    I have been craving Indian food so I went onto Yelp to see what were some options around my area. To be honest there wasn't that many but this restaurant came up as one of the highest rated Indian restaurants in the area so I was really excited to give it a try. My boyfriend and I came here for dinner and there was no line so we got seated right away. We got served menus and water and was able to place our order relatively quickly. We got their mango lassi pani puri shots garlic naan and their chicken tikka masala to share amongst two people. The pani puri shot was my favorite dish out of everything that we ordered. It was also my very first time trying this dish and it was so good. It was crispy and flavorful and the sauce gave it a burst of flavor all in one bite. I definitely recommend you ordering this dish if you ever visit this restaurant. Everything else was just OK. The mango lassi was thick and not that sweet. It was leaning more on that tangy side, which I personally do not like the garlic naan was not bad. It was fluffy and garlicky but I personally like my naan more on the dinner and crispier side. And then lastly, the chicken tikka masala was also just OK. It was definitely more on the saucy side and less on the chicken side and this dish does not come with the rice so you would have to order that separately. I would come back here to order the puri shots, but that may be about it. The restaurant is quite big and the staff was nice, so there's no knock there. I would still be open to coming back here to try their other dishes.

    Came here for dinner and the place is just absolutely beautiful! I love the attention to detail in the decor. Nice to know there is a happy hour of $6 bites which we ordered the pani puri shots and the fish pakora-both delicious. The panipuri came in this super cute wagon that actually moves! The entrees we chose was a vegetable curry and the lamb saag, saffron rice and garlic naan. Everything was mild spicy and so filling, there were leftovers for a meal the next day.

    Being a noob to Indian food I appreciated the service and descriptions of the food. We went with the Pani Puri shots and I tasted new experiences. Frankies were delish and full of spices. Went with a chicken and vegan version. Will definitely be back. Beautiful decor and the mural created a great ambiance.

    the biryani had very balanced flavors. the garlic naan and aloo matar were on a more neutral tone. the samosas however were great! we got the spiciest spice level and it wasn't too spicy although I think it could use more. overall 3/5 since some of the food I feel could have been more robust. the staff are very friendly and seem to love what they do here. the restaurant itself is clean and has a modern style. the restrooms are also clean as well. of note there is mostly only street parking around this restaurant. there is one small lot for the restaurant in the back alley.

    If you are looking for authentic and vibrant Indian flavors in the Arcadia area, All Indian Cafe is a fantastic choice. The restaurant offers a warm atmosphere and a menu that captures the essence of traditional Indian street food and classic entrées. We began our meal with the Pani Puri, and it was easily the highlight of our visit. For those unfamiliar, these are crisp, hollow dough balls filled with a mixture of flavored water, chili, chaat masala, potato, onion, and chickpeas. The version here is truly special--perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious. It provides that authentic "explosion of flavor" that makes this street food classic so addictive. For our main course, we tried the Traditional Curry with both chicken and fish. Both proteins were prepared perfectly, and the traditional curry sauce itself had a very deep, impressive flavor profile. We noticed many other varieties of curry on the menu that looked tempting, and we are already planning to return to try those next time. To complement the spices, I highly recommend ordering the Mango Lassi. It is exceptionally good--creamy, refreshing, and the perfect way to round out the meal. The service is attentive and the staff is happy to provide recommendations if you are unsure of what to order. They are also very friendly and patient with everything you neeed. It's a comfortable spot for both a casual weeknight dinner or a more celebratory weekend meal with friends. We had our family reunion there and it was great.

    I came here for lunch during Dine LA restaurant week. For $25 you get an appetizer, choice of protein, basmati rice, dal, salad, garlic naan and a drink (hot or iced chai tea). I had the chicken tikka masala and my husband had the lamb sheesh kebab. Everything was delicious. The sauces that come with the appetizer were also delicious. Service staff were friendly and attentive. One thing I didn't care for was the decor of the restaurant. It is very minor; it's simply personal taste. Another thing I didn't like was the parking situation for this place. The parking in back of the restaurant is very small and crowded. It is best not to park there. It's hard to get in and out of that back alley. Try to find parking on the nearby side streets. I can overlook these minor issues since I enjoyed the food and the service. I will be back to try other dishes.

    If you crave India food this is the place to go they have other locations and this one is fairly new they are also very supportive of the community try them you won't be disappointed

    First time here with my bestie, we were so excited walking in and now we are planning when to come back here!! It's a family owned business and all waitresses are so friendly and welcoming. We feel so welcomed and invited. They have table/chairs and booths, all clean, neat and comfortable. Love their interior design and decorations too. Seems like you actually dine in India. Luckily we came on their first day of promoting Dine LA, so we took the chance to enjoy their dinner set menu, from the appetizer to dessert. Can't express how much we enjoyed our food and drinks, everything is so fresh and authentic. I've been to many other Indian restaurants and this is so far my top favorite. We ended up having food coma finishing all the deliciousness haha!! The Dine LA is for two weeks so you will see my other photos soon because I will be back no doubt. Thank you All Indian Cafe :)

Their menu offers a wide variety of dishes with customizable spice levels, and everything we've tried has been so flavorful and delicious.

Half of the store is also a market with a great selection of snacks, and we always love picking up a few treats whenever we visit. If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving Bhanu a try.

The food came out incredibly fast after ordering. The masala dosa is perfect and how I expect a good dosa to taste (and for a great price too). The chicken thali was delicious with so much variety. We got level 8 spice and didn't really taste any spice in the thali. We got a chicken biryani with level 8 spice, and it was definitely spicy and worked well for us. The biryani was my least favorite dish--it was a bit too wet and the flavors just didn't remind me of biryani. I happily shopped around in their store after and found affordable spices and kulfi. I love this spot and am excited to return to try out more items in their restaurant and store. Btw they offer a discount if you're playing with cash!

    I've ate Indian food for more than 2 decades, I've lived around the Foothills most of my life but I…read morenever tried this place until yesterday. Loved it! It's simple, unassuming, restaurant attached to a grocery store, who knew. Went in, stomach was hurting from the previous day but as soon as I had it, I was happy. Also, the Chicken Tikka Masala gravy, absolutely fell in love with it. There was a place in Fullerton that I used to go to, Curry Hut, and I would get the same thing over and over again. Chicken Tikka Masala and Goat Curry, it reminded me of that. I went to an Indian restaurant recently, "All India Cafe," and I was not happy. I still need to leave them a review but the flavors were dulled down and I look at the reviews and people love it "All India Cafe." I'm going to assume something but "All India Cafe" probably caters to local tastes. I like this place because I can taste the intensity of the flavors, this place is called India Food & Spices and they don't shy away from the flavor. That's what I wanted, and that's what I got. Really nice service, feels very inviting. The guy asked if I wanted the sauce on the rice and I said "no," but that was a mistake. If he asks, say "yes." They served it on paper plates and some of the sauces get absorbed into the plate but I kept trying to squeeze it back out for more. So I had the 2 entree combo, (Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Curry, Rice, and Chapati). Chicken Tikka Masala Very very flavorful sauce, big pieces of chicken but chicken little on the dry side. Not atypical from Indian cuisine to have dry chicken in chicken tikka masala but I sometimes would like a choice of dark meat than white meat? Can't get enough of that sauce though. Creamy, rich, blend of spices, like a creamy tomato bisque with a lot of seasoning. Goat Curry Meat falling off the bone and flavorful sauce, some pieces were extra bony but not atypical of Indian food. Think of a beef texture with a little more gamy taste. Absolutely wonderful. Rice It's not a biryani but it's colored with a small tinge of yellow. Standard rice, can't complain. Chapati Tasted good from what I remembered, also pretty standard. I don't know how anyone could mess this up but flavorful and satisfying like a slightly puffed up tortilla. Surprisingly though, I do notice naan differences at various Indian places. Papadam I took one bite and it was bursting with tasty delight. Crispy and sprinkles of what looks like cumin seeds throughout. Side of yogurt It was tart, and acted like a palate cleanser for me, I would dip some of the chapati and papadam every so often into it. Pickled onion chutney There were slices of connected onions that were pickled. I didn't hate it but I wasn't a huge fan. There was a lot of it, I didn't finish it. This place was great, you can tell from the crowd, it feels and taste authentic. I feel like other Indian restaurants dilute the flavors to match the local tastes. Or sometimes I try to compare their buffet curries with their al la carte and it sometimes feels lessened. I will need to try this place several more times but so far they got a return customer.

First time I went, it was never explained to me that the desserts were by the pound. I just wanted a few pieces and was told I had to get a box. Which ended up being pricey. This time when I went, there was a young gentleman there and he explained it was by pound, how much it was per pound, and about how many pieces I'd get per pound. He was so nice that I decided I wanted to get some food too! I got the 3 item non veg combo with chicken tika, curry goat and spinach paneer. It comes with a drink too!!!! I chose the mango lassi. Guy asked if I wanted plain or garlic naan and he also told me garlic naan would be extra charge. I love how he was so up front with everything! Chicken tika- yummy! Goat curry-tasty without the gamey-ness. Spinach paneer- home run!! That cheese!!! Garlic naan- bread so soft and so garlicky! Mango lassi- smooth and creamy with real mango taste! Jalebi- 1000%!

We opted for 2 orders of the Pani Puri shots (one free from the SGV passport deal) and the Chicken Curry Lunch Special. The food took some time to come out but worth the wait. The Pani Puri shots were the best! I love the set up and presentation. The little mini cart even moves around with its wheels. You pour em up in the puffs and eat it in one bite! I like the flavor of the pani so I sip some too. :D As for the chicken curry, the flavors were delicious. The portions are good for one person but we shared. The naan was freshly made. The airy and crispiness makes it a great pairing with the whole meal. This location delivered on flavors and was consistent with the other restaurant. The food left us very happy!

Sliced Naan are soaked with cumin and beef flavors. Please don't bring home though, you can only rescue a dried naan once. Goshnaan - juicy yet crispy pastry. It's well balanced. Big plate chicken is good and and authentic to uyghur. Noodles are must and add side order for the sauce. Lamb items (if you don't eat lamb anddidn't order, please don't even comment, fellows) - Skewers are hardly consistent though. Boiled and roasted are good.

The naan was quite plain, great for mopping up sauce but underwhelming by itself. Wish I had tried the Goshnaan. The special noodles were really tasty.
