Another spot to check off our SGV Passport. My wife and I have dined at the newer location in…read moreArcadia on two occasions last year. One was for DineLA and one was for a Yelp event in the summer. This location has multiple parking garages to choose from near the building. This location in Pasadena was nice, just a bit smaller than the other one. The decorations are gorgeous and eye catching. We came in to use our SGV passport for the order of Pani Puri Shots. These were so good went we first tried them and couldn't want to get these again. We came in right before 3pm and they run a daily lunch special from 11:30am - 3pm. The staff was welcoming and worked very hard as she was the only server managing a few tables. 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! Thanks, All India Cafe! ( ^_^)b

The golgappa shots were so creative, the paneer tacos were absolutely delicious, the Dubai platter was beautifully done, and the gobhi Manchurian and biryani were both outstanding. What made the experience even more special was the hospitality. The owner lady personally kept checking in on us, talking to us, and making us feel so welcomed. The entire staff was attentive and warm throughout the evening. A very thoughtful touch was the complimentary kulfi at the end in three flavors: malai, mango, and rose. Such a sweet gesture and the perfect ending to the meal. Great food, warm people, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely looking forward to going back to their breakfast menu too.

First off, my husband and I are usually the type to order the same food and go to the same…read morerestaurants over and over again. But while shopping on Colorado Blvd, we decided we wanted to try something different. We both love Indian food, but I have a sensitive stomach, so sometimes Indian restaurants can be hit or miss for me. We decided to give Chak De California a try, and WOW! What a hidden gem. We've lived in Pasadena this whole time and somehow never knew this place existed. The moment we walked in, we noticed how beautiful the restaurant was. The decor is modern, stylish, and has such a warm vibe. The staff and who I believe was the owner were incredibly welcoming and kind. We ordered the chicken tikka masala and the meat platter, and honestly, the food was incredible. The chicken tikka masala was hands-down the best I've ever had. The sauce is absolutely amazing, the meat was super tender, and even ordering it a little spicy didn't upset my stomach at all -- which tells me they're using really quality ingredients. Another thing we loved was the atmosphere. There was a DJ the Saturday night we went, and the music was such a cool mix of Bollywood, French house, and eclectic lounge vibes. It was chill, classy, and not overly loud or crazy. Super cute date night vibe. Overall, genuinely a 10/10 experience. I'm literally at home right now waiting for my chicken tikka masala on Postmates and felt the need to write this review immediately. Don't sleep on this restaurant, seriously go try it ASAP. Yes, the prices are a little on the higher side, but honestly, it feels justified because the quality is there.

While the exterior looked inviting, the experience of having gone to…read more Eat here was then less exciting. I'd hoped to have exceptional conversations with my servers about the Indian cuisine I enjoy, and to see what they offer as specials- moreover, what they like or what other guests seem to make popular ... you know, "specials?" or Server suggestions? There was sadly no such interaction. The servers simply "just passed the time" while I ate very basic, unenthusiastic Indian fare, at one end of the restaurant-- while sat directly facing me chatting boringly with oneanother at the opposite end of the restaraunt facing me (so not FENG SHUI!) they sat at the other end in the heat (they really need to improve the AC UNIT at this location! It was much too hot in there). The staff was incredibly unenthusiastic, and the "experience" of eating here was definitely less than hoped for. Both the experience and the food need to be consciously "spiced up."

For my beverage I ordered a mango lasso. For my food, I ordered aloo gobi vegetable thali. It came with naan, lentil, and basmati rice. The entree was the aloo gobi which is potato cauliflower curry. He asked if I wanted mild for the spice level and I said yeah. It took around 10-15 minutes for my food to arrive. It was pretty mild, I should've asked for medium instead, I like when spicy food has a kick to it. The aloo gobi had a lot of sauce which I liked because in other recipes there doesn't seem to be a lot. The lentils were easy to chew and soft. My dad noticed that one fan wasn't on. He said it was hot and I didn't think so. I like the tapestry and banners up for decoration. There were at least 4 other tables filled. There was music playing but it stopped a few times. Then the music started up again after 5 or so minutes.
