Amazing food and service! We enjoyed a great meal on mother's day! The owner personally went to each table to make the guests feel welcomed! And the carrot halwa pizookie is a must try! read more

The food was very tasty and so fresh. Highly suggest the combo to try a bit of everything. It comes with dessert too. I had to stop myself from overeating so that I'd have extra food for the next day. The chai blew my mind. I'd go back just got the chai. The atmosphere is really well lit. It feels fancy. I love the option to sit traditional or at a regular table. The service is also extremely nice. I can't wait to come back and bring friends and family. read more

All India Cafe - Combo for 2 with veg sides and chicken, Naan, Kachumber, Chicken Tikka Masala, Indian Chai, Kheer, Samosas Vegetable Combo for 2 - Indian Near Me - Glendale, California

Large delivery order for 6 people arrived hot and well packaged (deli containers) in branded bags. Taste-wise, the food was good. Portions were small, with a lot of sauce, not a lot of meat (12 oz for tikka masala and makhani each had about 4-6 oz of chicken) saag paneer (8 oz, 5 3/4" cubes). Lamb vindaloo seemed a bit more meat than chicken dishes. All the sauces were thinner than expected (chutneys and raita included). The only item that was thicker than expected was the mango lassi. So overall, good but not my fave. read more

Nirvana tofu was good - but maybe not like name would lead me believe! I'd probably go for a chickpea dish instead next time. But appreciated the easy service and efficient to go order. I did accidentally go into the wrong business on that little strip of restaurants so be sure to check the business name again. read more

The love is so apparent at this restaurant. Humble and gentle service, patiently guiding patrons through questions. The interior is sparkling clean and the mural is just stunning. The food is beautifully presented, generous portions, and a firework of perfectly balanced flavors. We ordered plain and garlic naan - both are pillowy perfection and we used them to sop every last drop of the sauces. read more

Not much to add to this stellar boutique of excellent Indian restaurants, this one specifically in Glendale I find off the charts -with a great menu of all your favorite items. The lamb vindaloo is not to be missed as are all of their curries and sag paneer! Also the delicious starter courses are outstanding. As a gluten free person due to celiac - many of the dishes are accommodating. Using chic-pea flour to create delicious crunchy coating for there amazing vegetable & onion fritters . Service is poised and pleasant and the interior although not trying to be a theme park has lovley accents of Indian design and atmosphere. read more

Service was really wonderful here! They have a delicious and affordable lunch special. Beautiful restaurant, very clean and well run.

All India Cafe - Tandoori Chicken Lunch - Indian Near Me - Glendale, California

We recently visited the Arcadia location and enjoyed it so much that we decided to meet up with friends at the Glendale spot. My friend and I ordered from the Dine LA menu, while another friend chose the Frankie wrap, and my husband went with the fish tikka masala, onion naan, and a salad. The Dine LA combo was such a great deal--it came with a flaky, flavorful samosa, chicken tikka masala, salad, gobi aloo, dahl lentils, garlic naan, Indian iced tea, and rice pudding for dessert. Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous. The naan was especially memorable--fresh, warm, and perfectly cooked. My friend loved the Frankie, which was like an Indian burrito packed with flavor. The service was friendly and welcoming, and we all had a great time. Street parking is available, and there's also a 90-minute lot nearby. The interior has a trendy vibe, complete with a beautiful mural that adds to the experience. read more

Some of the best Indian food we've ever had! Garlic naan was made so well. We ordered the fish tikki masala and Vegetarian Tali. Vegetarian Tali came with nirvana tofu and it had so much flavor. Our waitress was very young, polite, and professional. We ate at one of the lower tables. Great experience but it was uncomfortable for me. My legs were too long and I'm only 5 ft 6. The ambiance is quieter with background music. Great place for connection and socializing with your company. Lots of seating available at this location. 100% recommend.

EXCELLENT INDIAN FOOD IN GLENDALE ================================= I have been to All India Cafe's newer restaurant in Glendale many times and I can't believe I forgot to write a review. My husband is a regular at their restaurant on Fair Oaks in Pasadena and he says he can tell a difference between the chicken tikka masala. I really can't. We are hooked on the chicken tikka masala so we always order the lunch special. See my photos. We especially love that salad dressing. We ordered the Pani puri shots and they were great. I also ordered a Maharaja Fashion to drink and that was delicious. They add a little saffron and that was a nice addition. read more

My bestie and I met here for lunch during our work break. I bookmarked the Pasadena location a while back after it showed up in my feed a few times, and later realized they had a second location here in Glendale, right off of Brand - easier for my bestie to get to. After being seated, we were handed a traditional menu as well as a shorter menu of fusion/street food options. We opted to order from the second menu, sharing a plate of Vada Pav sliders and the Gulabi Farfalle. The vegetarian sliders were small spicy potato patties in buns, a twist on a popular Indian street food. The gulabi farfalle was a creamy tomato pasta with a hint of Indian spices. Both dishes were pretty good, making All India Cafe a solid choice for Indian/ fusion food. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

I had an appointment in Glendale and, like any reasonable Angeleno, decided I'd rather kill time with food than sit parked on the 5 pretending it's a parking lot. Yelp told me I was dangerously close to All India Café, which had been sitting on my "to-try" list, so in I went. The Chicken Tikka Kebab came out sizzling and fragrant--juicy boneless pieces that hit all the right notes of cilantro, ginger, and garlic. But the real MVP? The green sauce on the side. Bright, herby, tangy--it was so good I considered asking for a to-go tub and calling it dinner. The little pickled veggies were a fun bonus too. The Peshwari Naan was sweet and nutty, almost dessert-like, though it came with a jam that didn't really do it for me. Still, naan on its own? Yum. I also ordered the Gajar Al Hawa dessert--warm, carrot-based, and surprisingly comforting. Unique flavor, but I was into it. For drinks, I tried the Maharaja's Fashion (their Indian Old Fashioned with saffron bitters). Couldn't really taste the saffron, but the bourbon and orange combo still worked. Service was warm and attentive without hovering, and since I rolled in early evening, I pretty much had the place to myself. Definitely worth the Glendale detour, and I'd happily come back to work through more of their menu. read more

Delicious, layered, nuanced spices. Vegetarian Thali with fluffy perfectly chewy naan was so so good. Samosas with different chutney was lightly crispy on the outside and full of mixed filling, very hearty and worth it. Interior is clean and comfortably elegant. 10/10 Recommend!! read more

Definitely one of only a few great Indian places in LA! The lunch special is a fantastic value and portion for a great price, and is absolutely delicious! Full of flavor, love the Naan, and the sides all go well together. You can keep dipping the Naan into the Masala and it's so satisfying.Comes with Dahl and Potatoes stew. We also love the Samoas. It's a very nice atmosphere with Indian Bollywood on the screens. Service is also great, so much to choose from too if you want vegetarian options. Definitely need to try different dishes but the Tikka Masala is always a must. Highly recommend this restaurant for authentic, fresh, flavorful food. read more

We walked in to All India Cafe last night and we all enjoyed it! Chicken tikka masala, tandoori shrimp, lamb vindaloo, saag paneer were all delicious!! Garlic naan and cheese naan were also very good!! Shrimp pakora and chicken wings as apps were also gobbled up and were so good! We will absolutely go here again and again. Would highly recommend read more

We were working for a place to eat and happened to stumble in here! Immediately, we were greeted by our server who offered us lounge seating on the floor or a standard table (try the lounge). As a vegetarian, Indian food is typically an amazing option and this place was no exception--our waitress was able to provide several recommendations and options and we tried an assortment of things all of which were delicious. All dishes on the menu were well-marked as vegan, vegan option, and gluten-free so there was never a concern. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you're in the Glendale area and craving a cozy, delicious Indian meal! read more

I want to update my review, since my first one was 8 years ago. I still frequent this restaurant at least once a week! I love their newly added menu: the pastas, panned tikka, chicken wings to name a few. The restaurant is always so clean and staff friendly. You can tell that they have many regulars that come by - who they always recognize as well. Service is always which too! So glad we have a friendly, warm, friendly run Indian restaurant in Glendale. read more

Great ambience with good customer service, you will find authentic curries and thali here (types of curries,rice, bread in one plate) other than that they also offer different types of individual dishes. It's always better to tell them to pick their special or their personal favorite as they know it well if you are confused, never go an Indian restaurant and order anything blindly, always know what you are getting if you are first time visiting and ask more questions. I enjoy my experience here, they treat you with full care and respect which matters a lot in dining. Would love to recommend this place to try if you around Glendale read more

OH HELL NO!!! RAW CHICKEN IN THE CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA. They served me chicken Tikka masala for the lunch special and after a few bites I noticed the chicken was rubbery, so I asked for a few extra chicken pieces on the side. They served me MORE raw chicken. See images attached. The owner with turban was super rude When I pointed it out, the owner dismissed the concern and removed my plate mid-meal, He even grabbed those chicken pieces with his hands and brushed over the pink uncooked spot saying it was cooked. The hispanic woman server was sweet. Be aware! This place poses a safety concern read more

My friend was craving butter chicken, so we decided to try All India Cafe. The service progressively got worse through our visit. We wanted Samosas, but the waitress kept showing a variety of options on her phone trying to get us to order potato sliders. We don't want that. They didn't want us sharing an entree but one was enough. We ordered saffron rice but received basmati. When we asked is this saffron they said no it's basmati and walked away. You get a free dessert with yelp check in but the desserts are all very similar and none seemed appealing. My friend has already vowed not to return. read more

Attended the wonderful Ravi Shankar Ensemble Concert at the Alex Theatre on March 31, and afterwards I was starving. But not surprisingly, the All India Cafe a block away was packed with customers. The next day i was meeting nearby with a friend and i mentioned the night before. Entering the All India Cafe we were warmly welcomed by a man who soon told us his nickname was Happy. The waitress quickly brought ice water with lemon and after we ordered brought Aldo Paratha, a sumptuous foot-long tube of warm whole whole wheat bread stuffed with flavorful mashed potatoes. It was a delightful warmup for my Chicken Tikka which was tender and flavorful, but not too spicy, just as I'd requested. My friend had chosen one of the combination specials and raved about his meal as I savored mine. We both agreed the generous portions tasted fresh and tastefully seasoned. It was obvious to me that it was the best Indian meal I'd experienced. To top it off, Happy brought us complimentary dishes of rice pudding with crushed pistachios sprinkled on top, which at the time seemed like the perfect followup. The next day I sent a thank you text to my friend for picking up the tab which he'd said was very reasonable and he told me he'd already returned with his wife for another lunch. He was obviously as happy about the All India Cafe as I was. read more

Well this a pretty nice little spot nestled at the heart of Glendale. Just walking in, it's easy to be enamored by the lovely decor and intimate lighting. . Now, when it comes to the Punjabi cuisine, they stuck with your traditional dishes, and added an interesting Gulabi Farfalle Pasta dish that saffron curry base with bell pepper, coriander, turmeric, and cumin. To start with, the Pani puri shots made from tamarind and mint spices was a refreshing amuse bouche that helps cleanse and prepare your palate for the delicious food to come. The potato samosa was dense, but in a good way, with more potato than breading, which you can get from some other places. The mint and tamarind chutney paired well with the samosa. The onion pakora similarly struck a nice balance of crispness and savoriness without being too oily. Simple, but delicious! On the drink side, the mango laasi is one of the thickest I've had and yet it wasn't too sweet, either. It was refreshing. The same can be said with the Chai which was spiced well, but not sweetened at all. It tasted like actual Chai. As for the entree, the two best was the butter chicken and the Gulabi Farfalle Pasta, while the Saag Paneer and Tandoori were a bit underseasoned and less memorable. But the tandoori, which was not red because they don't use red food coloring, struck a nice level of tenderness and was not too dry, which I have found with some tandoori chicken. The garlic Naan had a very nice crispy texture to it, but I would love a bit more kick with the garlic. So the best two are the butter chicken, which you can never go wrong at any Indian restaurant, and particularly here. It was savory, filling, but not too heavy. It can be too salty if not balanced with some basmati rice, but it's not too rich, either. The Gulabi Farfalle was the most surprising and adventurous of the dishes tonight, combining two different worlds in one dish with bow tie pasta and the saffron curry base with bell pepper, coriander, turmeric, and cumin. read more

first of all, the food isn't even the star of the show, but the SERVICE is incredible. Both the server and the owner consistently checked in on us and were so incredibly kind, and the server has such amazing energy when giving us her recommendations (which she was absolutely spot on about btw!) Honestly 10/10 and so welcoming. The food only makes it better, with both the presentations and flavors being absolutely what you would expect from amazing indian cuisine! the appetizer Pani Puri Shots were SOOO GOOD and the presentation was beautiful. our final check after ordering around 5 items for two people came to around 50 dollars which is GREATTT for LA! We will definitely be back! read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! We were in the mood for Indian food. To my fellow Yelpers, THANK YOU. Yet again, you came through. Met up with my cousin and her husband here for lunch. This was the first time for all of us eating at All India Cafe. I don't rate many restaurants with 5 stars, but this place was on point on everything - food, ambiance and customer service. Our waitress was Prit. She elevated our dining experience to the next level with her recommendations and friendliness. What we ordered: Drinks - Mango lassi, Indian ice tea and Indian lemonade. Mango lassi is always a fave. It wasn't too sweet. The lemonade was refreshing. It's a perfect summer drink. Indian mint ice tea with sweetener on the side was also a solid choice. Appetizer - Samosa and Vada Pav sliders. Samosa are a must every time we eat Indian food. This is not negotiable in our house. The samosa was exactly what we expected. I love the mint chutney with this. Vada Pav, recommended by Prit, was a first for us and OMG! YES, please. Prit did not steer us wrong. Lunch Plates - Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish Tikka and Chicken Tikka with saffron rice and of course, garlic naan. Chicken Tikka Masala is always a fave. Fish Tikka, recommended by Prit, were thick cuts of fish. The pieces weren't dry and the seasoning was perfect. The seasoning didn't over power the fish. My cousin's husband liked the chicken tikka too. Ambiance - The decorations were beautiful. They had a Bollywood movie playing on the TVs. The Indian music playing in the background was not too loud. I didn't find myself yelling across the table to be heard. There's a beautiful mural on the left wall when you walk in. Will we come back? You better believe we will!THANK YOU All India Cafe for a great dining experience. read more

Constantly order delivery from their site and it is consistently fresh, hot and full of flavor. Came in last night to eat in the restaurant and it was so special. Ambiance was sexy, custom cocktails looked delicious and the service was so warm and helpful. Started w the pani puri and they were flavor bombs served on the sweetest Indian table cart. My favorite is the Navratam korma add paneer and my husband got the transcendently spicy vindaloo chicken. Naan came fresh and were recommended to order another fresh batch midway. Homemade ice cream was such a delicate flavor and cooling after all of the spice. Highly recommend delivery or dine in! read more

I have order for this restaurant before and I generally like it, except last night I ordered some chicken tika masala, and the lady who took my order recommended some chicken for my kids and when we got home the chicken for my kids was only half cooked, it was raw and tasted raw. I had to throw it away and took my appetite away . Absolutely unacceptable. read more

The service was nice. The ambiance was good. We fortunately found paid meter parking just in front of the restaurant. The food? Well, terrible. We opted take out for two of us. Idlis were from frozen to luke warm but hard as a rock. Shrimp vindaloo, far away from what it should be. Got 5 shrimps for $19.95 . Masala dosa I want to believe was frozen to served, small one for $13.95. Total was $78. We had one serving and decided to dunk the rest. Sorry guys, this was not our cup of tea. Perhaps the chef was away and hope you don't walk in on a day as ours. read more

I drove two hours just to eat here, and the food her did indeed help curb whatever hangry feelings were in the air. The food was delicious, and I have yet to be disappointed by Indian food. (I hope I did not jinx it.) I have a huge sweet tooth, so I'm glad I got to try two different desserts on my visit here. The table I sat at had me basically sitting on the floor, which was fun. The lighting is muted and made for a more romantic ambiance, if that is what you're interested in. read more

Happy Mother's Day. We came for dinner and they were not busy at all since most mothers go out during the peak lunch hour period. The interior is spacious and the decorations are better that most Indian restaurants I've been to. We ordered the Chicken Vindaloo, white rice, and garlic naan. We asked for a spicy upgrade and was recommended medium spice. The food was pretty good and there was a lot of chicken and few vegetables in the serving. But next time we will stick with our favorite which is Chicken Tikka Masala. read more

My family and I had a great opportunity to try this place as we were touring Glendale. Food - 5/5 The food is delicious! The quality of the food is top-notch. You can taste the seasonings, the delicate crunch of the appetizers. The nice soft, fluffy, warm garlic naan, paired with the butter chicken. You will leave happy here. Value - 3/5 I will give the value of the food a 3/5 purely because it felt like we didn't leave full. However, on the other hand, the quality of the food was FANTASTIC! With our party of 9, the appetizers were very small for how much they cost, so we had to order multiple. Even though they taste wonderful, I couldn't justify the pricing for it. Regardless, this is a minor thing for me because I'm a bigger guy. Service - 5/5 The service is impeccable! The waitress has done an ABSOLUTELY GREAT job n taking care of us. She has offered many recommendations along with being very attentive to our needs: water, napkins, and questions. The entire staff is employed by Middle Eastern Indians, which I loved to see. It felt like I was in India itself! SHOUTOUT TO......Pwetty? I am so sorry for butchering your name, BUT SHOUTOUT TO YOU AND YOUR AMAZING SERVICE! Ambiance - 5/5 The entire setting of the restaurant is beautiful. It has a very clean, modern, Indian-style aesthetic with paintings and a television casting Indian music videos throughout the night. It is a very nice place to have a date. Conclusion Overall, I am very confident in recommending this restaurant to anyone who wants an authentic taste of Indian food. Come hungry and leave happy, unless you're a big guy like me. You might need to order 2 entrees, ahaha. read more
