Tasted Pav bhaji and vada pav at cafe India Memphis today. Very delicious. Good to see chat in Memphis TN

This place was insanely delicious! The buffet was huge and really well presented. Everything we ate was great. My son is already asking to go back. The service was quick and attentive. The decor was really different and cool. It was completely full by the time we were done and I'm not surprised! read more

I tried this awesome new Indian restaurant yesterday for the first time yesterday (Sunday) and it was outstanding. The first clue was that there was a bit of a wait which I expected for a new place, but it was well worth the wait. Very nice and tasty expansive lunch buffet with a good assortment of both vegetarian and meat options. The ambiance was well appointed and clean. All those Memphis area Indian restaurants that abandoned the lunch buffets are put on notice with this gem. This is a game changer for Memphis. I'll definitely be back and put the word out. To the hard working staff and owners, keep on doing what you're doing and you will do well. read more

Excellent food for the most part. The biryani was outstanding. Well seasoned and delicious. The tandoori chicken was well seasoned but overcooked and dry. The portion was 2 small legs. Seems overpriced for what you get. Service was pretty much non existent. We had to flag down a busperson to get napkins. We will return for the lunch buffet and for dinner when we crave Indian but will try other dishes as the other patrons seemed to really enjoy. (None of them appeared to have the tandoori chicken) read more

Get rid of the roaches. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. But when I went to buy dessert to take home roaches were in the glass fridge. read more

I loved the food here! To start, I had a masala chai which is in the top blends I've tried around the city. It's the kind that makes you slow down and close your eyes, letting the day settle. It's good! You'll love it. The spicy guntur podi dosa and nicely balanced sambar I had were expertly crafted harmonizing multiple flavors. The gentlemen that served me were attentive and asked several times if things were good and would I like to add anything else. After my dosa and chai, though, I already knew I wanted that cake up front. The bakery makes such tasty goodies You might even visit occasionally just to pick up something from the bakery on your way home! And before I forget, this place has one of those cute robots that brings your food . Of course I'm going to be a sucker for a cute cat face. One more thing I love about this place is that it supports Saint Jude! I love this place when I go out for Indian food and highly recommend you try it. read more

My first time eating at Cafe India -- but not my last. You are greeted with the distinctive aroma of Indian spices. The decor is spartan, nothing like the pre-fab website, but don't let that put you off. I applauded in my heart at the posters, with quotes about food and music and the lived experience. They had Indian-themed (Desi) YouTube on, which added to the atmosphere. I ordered the buffet for lunch. It was varied in spice level and ingredients. They offered a wonderful clear soup with a medium heat. There were meat dishes and veg dishes, naan, and some salad and dessert selections. All together, the buffet was more than ample. It's even more extensive on the weekends. My daughter ordered goat curry and garlic naan. The goat was amazingly tender, and the heat was surprising but not alarming. She said the garlic naan was the best she'd ever eaten. Her lunch was delivered by a robot server; however, the order was taken and the bill was delivered in person, as was the periodic check to make sure we were not in need of anything. If you're looking for a quiet, dimly lit romantic spot, get your food to go and eat at home. But do get your food here! You will not regret it. read more

Best Indian food in Memphis. Great variety that I haven't seen at other places. Get the buffet. Love that mango refresher drink and chai are included. And they leave a pitcher of water at your table. read more

Well, they have a serving robot. I found the buffet strong on vegetables and weak on meats. The dishes were pretty light on spices. I will try it again. read more

Food was really good. Buffet style lunch, of traditional food. I will definitely be eating there again.

Amazing food. We are so happy to have a delicious Indian buffet close. Definitely worth the price!

I just had the lunch buffet with a friend and we both agree that it was easily the best Indian food we have ever had in Memphis. We have eaten for decades at all the different places around town and this place truly stands out above all others. They have both a vegetarian and an omnivore buffet offering along with much more than just the typical mint and tamarind chutneys. We got there early and the buffets were really works of art to behold. There was no way possible to try everything and this is coming from someone who can eat a LOT! I cannot say enough positive things about Cafe India! I am so impressed and happy they have arrived on the seen. read more

Excellent addition to the local Indian restaurant options. I've twice visited the Friday lunch buffet and have been very satisfied. They offer the largest Indian buffet in the area. The food is delicious and items seem to be replenished as soon as they run low. The staff is helpful, pleasant and available for help/recommendations. One of my new favorite venues. I highly recommend it. read more

I love Indian food but enjoy it the most when I can do so at a buffet. Sadly all of the Indian restaurants in the area stop offering buffets during the pandemic and never restarted. Until Cafe India opened a few weeks ago. I am in love again. I went for my first visit yesterday and the food and selection were amazing. The setting was beautiful, bright and clean. Would highly recommend a visit. read more

Wonderful buffet, our group enjoyed the variety of foods and desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food, very authentic. They have a low score (4.3) on Uber for some reason but when it comes down to it they have the best Indian food in Memphis read more

Food is excellent. Service is friendly and helpful. Many of the dishes are spicy for American palates but several are not, such as butter chicken and paneer masala. The saag with chicken was quite good. read more

The food is amazing loved the taste and texture of the pepper chicken. The portion sizes are great 1 order can feed 2 people with ease. The naan is cooked perfectly and the service was great. I will for sure be going back. read more

East Memphis/suburbs has needed a good lunchtime Indian buffet since CurryBowl, Mayuri and a few others have ended their buffets due to Covid and maybe food price inflation several years ago (and have not restarted them as of the date of this review). Midtown has India Palace who does have a smaller buffet than Cafe India. If you have never tried Indian food before go for the lunch buffet served Thurs-Sunday from 11-2. They have a large selection of food and desserts on the buffet. This allows you to sample each dish to find a favorite. The food was very good. Service was very attentive. I would have liked to have been able to get some ice for my soft drink. The in-availability of ice may be I believe because the Indian culture does not in general use ice in tea and other drinks. In the southern USA you just cant serve sweet tea or even Coke/Pepsi without ice in a restaurant setting. Ambiance was good with many FedEx employees and Fedex contractor employees eating there along with the general public. Seating was adequate. Highly recommended! read more
