About this business

Stop in for some great, authentic food with unbelievable prices at the All India Cafe. The dishes come mild, medium or spicy but they are all rich with flavor. Feel free to drop by during the week but better make reservations on the weekend; this place isn't a well-kept secret anymore. The restaurant is within walking distance of busy Colorado Boulevard, in case you might need a stroll after all you've eaten.

Seriously, go try their food. It's the bomb diggity. – I tried All India Cafe for lunch last week. The Chicken Tikka Masala was out of this world! The flavor was so wonderful I forgot to ask for chutney which I usually need for extra spice. Make sure you order the Naan (Indian bread) it is soft and fluffy and warm like they just baked it. Try dipping the Naan in everything or eat it like a burrito with the rice and tikka masala inside...omg my mouth is watering thinking about it! Also I LOVED the dressing on my salad, it had... read more

please don't go even close, you will feel the bad energy – i am huge fan of indian food, in 2 years i have more than 50 indian cuisines all over california. the owner, not a waiter rushed us through our dinner, greedy to seat the next customers on our table. the food was awful and the service was so rude!!!!!!!!!! this place is owned by the biggest unprofessional, i have ever seen in my life. HE JUST WANTS YOUR MONEY. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME GO SEE FOR YOURSELF... but don't worry, there are a plenty of other good indian rest... read more

The Garlic Naan is like Naan other! – Good location is always a plus for me. All India Cafe is in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, a venue exhibiting class and culture. The restaurant is not the most romantic place, but suffices for a nice casual date. The Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tikka Masala are a must! Great savory dishes and a nice change of pace.

Yummy food – Only been there for dinner several times and each time the food was consistently good. Great Bengan Bharta (not sure about the spelling, but it's the eggplant dish), best I've had. Their tikka marsala sauce is very good, too. I have to agree that service is slow, but generally friendly. If I'm super hungry or in a hurry and need to eat and run I'll probably go somewhere with faster service. Otherwise It's a cozy little place to enjoy a casual evening with friends.

Great Lunch Specials – Small little restaurant just south of the Colorado Blvd. crowd. Their lunch specials are really good...you get an entree with basmati rice, a salad and naan. Their samosas are a great starter. Their garlic naan is so good...I always get two orders of it! They don't have much of a wine list but you can order Indian beer. I recommend ordering it for pick-up so you don't have to deal with Pasadena parking.

Food Less Than Expectations- in Flavor and Portion – I like Indian food- crave it- look for it in different cities. And this one's just not up to par. The flavors are dumbed down, the portion small, the wait long, and the place claustrophobic. Yeah.. not sure why the long line- I went there about four times...(not my choice- different friends wanna try their first exposure to Indian food- and we happen to be at Pasadena at the time and being geographically retarded, this is the only place I know.) And everytime, I'm like.. o... read more

All India, All the Time – What a pity to see negative reviews of this restaurant. Okay, maybe I can agree with the comments about poor service. They're not prompt, and they don't come to your table very often. But I can overlook this because the food has always been so fabulous when I've eaten there. I've never ordered a dish that I didn't love. Some of my favorites are the light and crispy Samosas with that flavorful dipping sauce, the Palak Paneer, and my all-time favorite - the Shahi Paneer. The Shahi Paneer is the best I... read more

Above average Indian restaurant. – Good service. Tasty food. It takes a long time to get the food, though. Overall experience is not disappointing. We'll certainly go back.
