    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Lam B.

    The lack of consistent seasoning and slow service makes Cafe India a no go for me. Having always taken my meals to go, I found that items were always packed well but the expected wait time to be excessively long. When I pick up my food, it takes 40 minutes or so for it to be ready despite the tables being empty. Although there were 4 total spice levels, they practically tasted the same. The extra spicy would be equivalent to a medium elsewhere. *Mango Lassi: yogurt heavy and the mango was very light. Sour and sweet but not as refreshing as others I've tried. *Garlic Naan: my favorite item as this bread was smothered in garlic. The naan was soft and stretchy with subtle browning. Wished each order came with more pieces but it was worth the extra 50 cents from the regular naan. *Chicken Tikka Masala: lots of tender chicken was included but I've always found a piece of gristle. The portion was decent but the sauce was incredibly bland. The flavors were muted and I craved additional spices and fragrance. Given the wait and higher prices, I didn't find the quality to be worth it. Perhaps I'll stop by for just the garlic naan but Cafe India doesn't have the depth of flavor I crave from Indian cuisine.

    We had an amazing experience at Cafe India. Our waitress, Denae, was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable and she recommended the chicken Malai to my sister. It was soooo delicious. I had the chicken tikka masala, and it was honestly some of the best I've ever had. The spicy garlic naan wasn't that spicy but it was soo savory and fresh! The vibe was on point too because Vance's playlist really brought the whole atmosphere together. He makes a mean vodka soda. Great prices too. Can't wait to come back!

    Food was amazing! My boyfriend and I were very impressed. The waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to give us some suggestions as to what to order. Prices were reasonable and servings were large! We ordered everything mild to medium spice and it was perfect. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Paneer Korma, Rice Pilau, and Garlic Naan. For dessert, we took the crème brûlée cheesecake to go. The only thing was the garlic naan being cold, it would have been better warm! We will definitely be back!

    Well what a transformation at the restaurant and upgraded all the teams chairs and headed a bar Supreme customer service and you must try chicken Vindaloo (spicey).

    Another local gem! Very clean, updated interior. The sever greeted me quickly and the food came right away. The chicken vindaloo was sweet, spicy, hearty on top of the beautifully cooked basmati rice. The garlic naan was amazing. Definitely recommend this place! And the price is so nice as well.

    Went with a few friends and the food was amazing! I absolutely loved the chicken tikka masala and naan. The portions were generous for the price point and could be shared between 2 people. However, the only downside would be the wait time. It's understandable, we went on a weekend during dinner rush, but it took nearly 40 minutes for us to finally get our food after we ordered. Two other tables sat down after us and still got their food before us. Finally, when we finished and tried to pay we had to stand and wait because no one was at the register. Would I go again? Yes, but definitely not on a weekend during dinner.

    The two times we have been here we have had to wait a bit to get seated, but totally worth it! It's a smaller place with only a few staff, but cute and cozy. The food thus far has been amazing. I love chicken tikka masala, and theirs is top notch. The sauce is creamy and flavorful, and they really listen to the spice level you ask for. The garlic naan is light and buttery, and I love the basmati rice with the sauce over it. I'm always stuffed when I leave because it's so hard to stop eating, everything is so good! Will always come back here for guaranteed delicious Indian food in Visalia!

    Amazing experience. We went there on a Wednesday night for dinner, and ordered the sliders, which…read morethey offer as an option to have six sliders as a sample of all six of their full-size burgers. They were all outstanding, although I would say the Athena was my favorite. Or maybe the blue cheese. They came with potatoes, sauces made in house, and coleslaw which were delicious as well, and so was the beer and cider. Paula was an amazing waitress, and Daniel was the musical accompaniment, playing guitar and singing for tips. If he's there, I recommend his Ed Sheeran selection. Cannot praise this place more highly.

    Right in the heart of downtown Visalia, this spot is perfect for a casual lunch. I ordered the…read moresliders, which let you pick three of their signature burgers in smaller portions--such a great way to sample a few options. I went with the Juju Bleu, Calamity Jane, and Betsy Ross. I'll admit, I'm usually not a fan of bleu cheese, so I'm not sure why I picked the Juju Bleu--but I'm glad I did. It was surprisingly delicious. The Betsy Ross was solid and classic, with Thousand Island sauce--tasty, though nothing particularly standout. The Calamity Jane was the clear winner for me; the combination of sautéed onions, barbecue sauce, and mushrooms was absolutely spot-on. We also upgraded our side to clam chowder. It had great flavor, though it was a bit thicker than I prefer--not a dealbreaker by any means. Service really made the experience shine. Paula was phenomenal--attentive, friendly, and quick to check in on us and keep everything running smoothly. Overall, this is a great spot for lunch with friends or coworkers. Since it's right on Main Street, parking can be a bit tricky, so I'd recommend using a nearby public lot and taking a short walk over.
