Reviews of Cafe India
The owners and the staff were friendly. I went with my colleague and her friends. They offered many complimentary food since my colleague’s friends are students. We had multiple food items which were really tasty 😋. We had food multiple times during our stay in Milwaukee downtown. I would recommend the place for the quality, price and the service. The price is very less compared to the other places. This is a not big restaurant rather a small eating station with few tables. This is a self service restaurant. I will really go back to this every time I feel to eat Indian food.
I don’t usually post on reviews or anything but I just had to. First time going there. From where I was born in England there would be Indian restaurants around every corner.since I moved to America it’s been really to hard to find something with good prices and taste. I can finally say I found one. The food was really tasty, great flavour. The price for what I got was pretty good. Can’t wait to go back again. Definitely something I will tell everyone about it
My first time tasting Indian food and I must say I really enjoyed that! The butter chicken was tender and tasty, the variety naan bread was great! Loved the samosas and the mango drink was everything!!! Only thing I didn’t care for, but my kids liked it, was the desserts balls (forgot the name).
I’ll definitely be back for more and can’t wait to try new items 😋
Nice place, food was good, seems like the prices were raised due to COVID and inflation. We ordered a Chole-Bhature and Non-veg Thali. They should increase the quantity of the food for the amount they are charging. Overall, it was good. Restrooms were clean.
Great selection of all the Indian favorites. We got two orders of Samosas (4 total), 2 butter chickens and 1 curry chicken then took our food to Paliafito Eco-Arts Park just a few blocks away and devoured it. It was all hot, fresh and very delicious! The sweet sauce and green chutney provided with the samosas were both exceptional.
Food was super good and less expensive than other Indian cuisine places in Milwaukee. Comfortable atmosphere!
🤯🤯🤯 I can’t believe I just now found out about this place!!! Please go get the chicken korma and dip the garlic bread in it 🤤🤤🤤…. The owner came from around counter to greet us and the place looks like a surgical room with how clean it is! The pride taken in the place and the food shows and is appreciated. I’ll be back ASAP! …
"Great Indian Food Always Enough To Eat Hot And Fresh Food As Well Ten Of Ten For One Of My Favorite Places To Eat In Milwaukee, Wisconsin!!! - Ed` ♥️ @ezekieldawan 🇬🇭🇮🇪💯💪♥️ #milwaukeemusic #cafeindia #ezekieldawan #ed
This was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in years! Chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, garlic naan and the samosa was just insane. So good!
A group of 6 friends and I got dinner here and couldn’t have had a better experience! The manager gave us generous trays of rice and garlic naan for us and were so kind. They also gave us an extra butter chicken. He checked in on us multiple times to ensure we were enjoying. Definitely recommend!
Amazing!!! Catered for my office lunch and the food was delicious and amazing. Beyond that, service was top notch, Rocky helped with setting up the order and when I came to pick up had it set up in a hot box so the food would stay amazing between the drive and the office while it was sleeting out! Definitely amazing food and the service knocks it out of the park and will be back again To try more of their awesome food!
staff was really helpful, knowledgeable on vegan options, & super nice. the food was absolutely amazing, everything tasted great!! will definitely be back.
Never disappoints. Freshly made dishes. They even accommodated our special request and made a custom dish for us.
It can get busy, so expect a wait during peak times, but that’s a sign of a great restaurant, right!?
Would give 5 stars, but I was missing the naan I added to my order. However, this is delicious and I will absolutely be going back. Also, don't use a delivery service but do carryout instead if you can help it.
I love it here!! Finally got my husband on the bandwagon... he had one bad experience and never wanted Indian again... this place changed his mind... the Chicken Tikki Masala was sooo good and I loved the spicy level... great place!
THE BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT!
Prices are pretty good and everything are so delicious! Rakesh is such a amazing person and always get everything right! All the kitchen staff is amazing.
Try the fried cauliflower gobi manchurian! Its amazing!
The butter chicken also is very good!
Great food, but the "exotic juice" was just a long expired, tiny bottle of Tropicana. Disappointed by that, but overall good food.
Great place for all kind of food, I like their services and specially they serves very testy veg items. I highly recommending to visit once if you are in Milwaukee Downtown.
Really, really great food! Relatively large menu, but easy to navigate. Counter service. I will definitely eat here again.
I love this place! Their Chicken Tikka Masala & Butter Chicken with a side if Biryani are my favorite go to. The food here is so authentic & full of flavor, I’m definitely a returning customer now.
One of my
Favorite places to eat in Milwaukee 🔥 Vegan & Vegetarian options, the chicken korma w/ Garlic Naan bread & rice is Amazinggggg. Cafe India warms The soul
Don't let the location fool you this is great food. Options for vegetarians and vegans as well, and you will always find something great to eat
(Photo: Butter chicken with rice and garlic Naan
Happy with my first experience here. Ordered takeaway at the restaurant and it wasn’t too long of a wait despite other customers also waiting. Good food portions, reasonable prices considering the pandemic situation, and staff were working hard. Special #1 was a great introduction & variety for those newer to Indian food. Will be back!
Ordered Indian food for the first time and chose this place. My boyfriend and I loved it. I got the Butter Chicken and my boyfriend got Chicken Curry. They were both so flavorful and delicious. Also good portion of a side of rice, enough for two people. The Roti bread was also amazing.
This place is always bustling in and out with people, which already speaks highly of how good the food is. Each time I go in the workers are fast and efficient and today I got a free desert with my order! Thank you Cafe India for delicious food and high quality service :)
Tasty food. Their catering is fantastic. The spread of delicous chicken, vegetarian options, and rice. It would be criminal if you didn’t get an order of naan before your meal.
BEST I’ve had yet, The Vindaloo is amazing along with everything I order lol! Highly Recommend!!
My friend and I had lunch there yesterday. Enjoyed talking to Mr Happy who is the cook and cashier. 5 star for great personality.
Yummiest Indian food in Milwaukee ! Love this place. 👍👌👌 …
Amazing service it honestly could not have been better, I will be there again soon. Got 2 items on the house as well!
Popped in for quick lunch to go, ordering the Samosa Chat and Lamb Biryani. The food was delicious with lovely textures and a pleasant heat that built. Servings were generous, making it a great value. Excited to return and try other dishes!
The rice the chicken when I say they make the best dark meat you would think it was breast. The sauces are the best refreshing from the same foods you normally eat. Love the basil the fresh basmati rice the mango lassi always quick cool people they let u try stuff out sometimes.
Indian food catering to the american palate.
Somewhat pricy. Excellent volume of food.
Went with an indian friend looking to eat an indian cuisine in Milwaukee. Food was good to me, but was noted that the cuisine was actually subpar, if an authentic experience is what you are looking for. Lacked spices and flavor, dishes were modified to cater to the american tastes and style.
He suggested to tip, so that they may afford a better cuisine. I, however, tipped because I still liked the meal.
Not sure what I ordered, but you cannot go wrong with chicken
This is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant in Milwaukee. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! The staff truly cares about your experience and they know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Milwaukee. Definitely a lifetime customer!
Awesome authentic Indian food at a great price!! Definitely try their thali to experience a few different items on their menu.
I’ve tried a few Indian restaurants in Milwaukee and Cafe India is hands down my favorite! The food is always hot and super flavorful! Lots of vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Seriously everything I’ve ever had out of here has been so good! Don’t be fooled by this small location, the food is great! Definitely recommend the chicken tikka masala, Chana masala, and don’t forget the naan! Try this place out, you won’t be disappointed.
The food at this joint exceeded expectations. The chicken biryani was tasty. Mango lassi which we ordered would be strongly recommended to anyone visiting this restaurant. The non veg thali was exceptionally good as well. The food was economical and delicious. Would definitely be back to this restaurant for Indian cuisine, when visiting Milwaukee again.
First thing I notice is if the staff is welcoming... And this place checks out y'all! Come! Try it out! So juicy!!!
First time customer. The Shahi Paneer I ordered was the best I've ever had. There was some confusion with Uber Eats, so I went to pick the order up myself. The owner or manager - not sure which - gave me my Naan for free for my troubles. Wonderful experience!
I love this place.
Where we live, we have to drive at least an hour and a half to get good Eastern Indian cuisine.
However, sometimes I get to travel to Milwaukee for work. I try to stop here for Supper on the day I head home, and bring some to go orders home for the family.
Excellent food and service.
The prices are reasonable too.
Excellent and delicious food, probably the best Indian restaurant in the city. We had them cater for our housewarming and the staff made the process very smooth, from the phone order, suggesting ideas, to picking up the food in a hot box. Everyone loved the food. We also order take out from time to time. Great staff, wonderful food.
I travel for work frequently. I also love Indian food, because I’ve vegetarian, and it’s always guaranteed to have plenty on the menu to choose from. I initially ordered from DoorDash the first night I was staying downtown for work; I ordered Paneer Masala and Naan. The paneer feels fresh and squeaky, like they use local paneer. The spices and quality of ingredients is incredible. The naan is mildly sweet and chewy, and so buttery. Long story short, I ordered again the next night, again from DoorDash. Tonight, the third night here for work, I tried to order from DoorDash again, but we worked later and the restaurant was “closed” on DoorDash. This place was so good that I called in an order, hopped in the car and drove down to pick up my dinner.
If you like Indian food, try this place. While I can’t speak for anything on the menu except for Paneer Masala, I am willing to bet anything you get from Cafe India will be incredible. Not only was the food delicious, but the employees were friendly and fast.
Truly fantastic food, really an underrated spot to eat. Great value for what you pay. Came for a private party buffet and they went all out to provide for us.
We have tried 4 or 5 Indian restaurants in Milwaukee and this restaurant is my favorite takeout. We won't go back to the other ones. It smells amazing when you walk in and the service is consistently good. We get Butter Chicken (best ive had) and their Lamb Masala, sometimes the vegetable special. Always fresh herbs and creamy sauces. I am impressed every time and I highly recommend this place!
Never ever dissatisfied. The best Indian food for a reasonable price...if it were physically possible, I would give this place a really big hug.
Also, this location is more consistent with their dishes. Not to say the other location is bad, but I still prefer the one here on 1st street. I drive 45 minutes to eat here. It's totally worth it.
I work at a studio across the street and I am a consistent customer at cafe India. I have to say their food is so amazing! I also had a party catered by them and it was the hit of the party! Everyone loves the food and the spice level was perfect for everyone! I wouldn’t recommend any other place to cater your parties, seriously the best!
The environment of cafe India and wonderful they have a tv usually playing music videos which I love to watch while waiting for my food. The staff is so wonderful and always remember who I am since the first day I came! They are so generous and kind!
Did a catering order for Diwali party and the food was delicious. Rocky was a pleasure to work with and super communication.
Food was not oily and the spicy level was just right. Everything was fresh. Quantity was enough for the party and everyone loved it.
Recommend for catering. For sure ordering again.
Food was very tasty.. and the ambience was gud...
Amazing food! I wish I could give it ten stars!!
I recommend the buffet if you don’t know much about Indian cuisine. If you’ve never had an opportunity, this is a great place to try this culture’s food. The staff is very attentive when you eat in, and there is constant entertainment in true Bollywood fashion. Also, they have covered outdoor seating with hookah availability. Delivery is available via various external App Services.
This is the best Indian restaurant in town - for sure! It takes a little while to receive your food, but that’s because I think they cook every order fresh! So just place an order in advance and come pick it up. Super friendly staff. My favorite!
An absolute must-have if you're in Milwaukee! The food is always incredible, and the customer service from Rocky and his crew makes it very easy to become a regular. Especially during COVID-19, they're taking great care to ensure health and safety of their customers--give Cafe India a call for pickup during these chilly evenings, you won't regret it!
Just had the best Indian food of my life here. Always a great cuisine anywhere I visit, but this was exceptional above any white table cloth I've ever had. Please find out for yourself.
Cafe India is a must try!!!
Rocky came through when we needed him at a moment's notice!
My workmates, friends and I have always enjoyed eating lunch at Cafe India, so when a different restaurant fell through on a catering order, we decided to give Cafe India a call. Suffice it to say 40 teenagers and adults were content and full with the banquet they prepared. The food selections were ALL top notch...meat dishes, vegetarian and vegan, and the price cannot be beaten!
Food was hot and he lent us an insulated keeper to make sure all of the trays were piping hot upon our arrival!
Rocky and his staff were polite, fast and efficient and they even sent us packing with some extra treats!
Great guy, great restaurant...and now add...great catering! We'll definitely keep coming back. Both Indian cuisine aficionados AND noobs were pleased.
Super friendly employees. Amazing food! I deliver Door Dash and your service is amazing. I never have to grab napkins or utensils and you pack the food in a way that nothing ever spills and everything survives the trip to the customers. The customers rant and rave about how amazing your food is. Thank you for helping me get these Door Dash orders out in a fast and stress free way. I never have to wait either. You always have the order ready to go.
Some of the best Indian food you can get in the Milwaukee area. Food isn't oily and the spice levels are just perfect. Everyone at the location especially Rocky make you feel like you're home.
Highly recommend this place....
Ordered online with eat street and I must say the food was amazing! Absolutely delicious, full of flavor and the right kind of spicy! It was so good I wanted to lick my plate. The food was cooked with care and package well. The eat street delivery driver was fast and courteous! I will order from this restaurant again for sure.
Best Indian cuisine in Milwaukee...
Fresh, high quality, perfect blend of spices, surprising details that make dining here a divine experience.
The owner, Ryan, is kind, gracious, and welcoming. The staff are also wonderful. Have dined twice while
parties were going on. The party room is really cool.
Plan to eat here as often as I possibly can!! Delicious😋
Highly recommend. The food is full of all the RIGHT spices, was served hot and fresh.
Just got takeout from this place tonight it was the best food I’ve ever had. I come here all the time and it never disappoints. Also there’s a man in a pagri that works there well actually he’s mostly in the gas station but he’s so hot and I’m too afraid to ask for his number so if you see this hit me up
Cafe India’s lunch special is outstanding. It’s an opportunity for you to try several Indian dishes at once instead of ordering a large portion of only one dish. The staff is friendly and often recognized their repeat customers. The lunch special is only available Monday through Friday and until 3:00 so it was a special treat to be able to go because I usually work during that time!
This is my favorite restaurant in all of Milwaukee. It's been recently remodeled and although small, the owners and employees are absolutely amazing. The food is ALWAYS AMAZING. Although this location is very casual, there is a more formal location in Bay View, on KK. The food tastes the same in either location, but I personally prefer the 1st Street spot. The daily vegetable special is different every day, but I order is every single time I go. And I've never been a huge fan of eating my veggies. The samosas are my favorite appetizer and I never leave without extra dipping sauce!
Exceptional Indian cuisine with generous portions. Busy everyday shows the quality of their food and they don’t skimp on the proteins.
My favorite Indian restaurant hands down, authentic at a great deal, the customer service is great. Just a place you better try, cause you will regret if not. I recommend the Thali Special because you can try a few different dishes in one meal for a great price. Just love it, plus they have many healthy options
Delicious. There were some communication issues; We asked for mild and what we got was a bit too spicy, ordered potato naan and got onion. But still, food was delicious. I'll go back. It was a good dining adventure.
Samosa was fresh made and the jamoon was excellant
Cafe India has been my lunch spot of choice for the past year or more. I go there multiple times per week. The food is consistently delicious, the service is always great and the value for a full meal including a drink at $8 cannot be beat. If you like Indian cuisine I highly recommend Cafe India.
Have enjoyed Cafe India in Bay View since they opened. Finally tried the 1st Street location on my way home. Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, Rice, Samosas and Garlic Nann. Highly recommend! Fair price. Tons of food. Level of heat as requested.
Wow, my new favorite Indian restaurant. Lunch special, fit as much as you want in essence into the to go container through the buffet, naan, and a drink for 8 bucks. Happy and friendly staff/owners, made from scratch in tandoori. Must try it if you haven't yet!
I absolutely loved this place I’m a huge fan of Indian cultured food and just moved to mke 3 months ago and I was looking for the BEST this little dive “hole in the wall” joint is The spot they even gave me free dessert! Flamingo
I eat here fairly often for lunch and it's one of my top choices for lunch specials. $11 gets you a full to-go container of food with a drink and sometimes a dessert. Not to mention the food is really good! Don't be alarmed that it's in a gas station. You will be more than full and your tongue will be happy!
I asked for Butter Chicken, the owner suggested Punjabi Butter Chicken - it was out of this world delicious. The chicken was tender, the butter chicken gravy was decadently tasty, and the spicy aroma made my meal with two Tandoori Rotis absolutely divine. Rakesh Rehan, the owner was kind enough to explain the dishes to me, offered great service, and I ended up taking half the dish back to my hotel - the portions are very generous. Hands down, the best place to grab a bite. My food was even tastier than what I have tried in Chicago.
Ate here for the first time last Friday, had the lunch buffet with chicken tikka masala, the lamb, and the chicken curry. Thought it was a good deal to include a soda and a big piece of naan. It was a lot of food and tasted good going down.
However.
Middle of the afternoon I started to experience what can only be termed "severe gastric distress" including many rushes to the bathroom. What followed was awful...had to bring garbage bags with me for the ride home as I was so nauseated. Went straight to bed and, except for rushing to the bathroom many many times, stayed there for about 14 hours.
I have had food poisoning once before and this was as bad as I remember. The place seems popular enough, but I will never eat there again. I don't know if this was an isolated incident, but forewarned is forearmed.

Update 4-18
Based on co-workers experiences I went back a while after my initial post. The food was really very good, especially for the price. It has over the past two years now become a once-a-week lunch stop for me. Wednesdays feature a cauliflower vegetarian dish which is truly wonderful, even though I usually avoid cooked cauliflower. My rating has been adjust accordingly.
My company ordered lunch from here and we were VERY happy with how the manager Rocky handled our time restriction for a early lunch meeting. He had our food delivered 15 minutes after they opened 11:45am (which is at 11:30am). The food was amazing and delicious! Thank you Rocky again for accommodating us!
10/10 all around. If you’ve ever had bad food here I just don’t believe you. Management is super friendly and the wait is generally short. Would never expect food so good to come from a gas station but here we are!
I can't say enough amazing things about Cafe India and Rocky. My friend drives for Postmates and had to pick up the butter chicken dish for someone. She told me that the food smelled so good in her car that she had to return and try it herself! She returned for herself, told me how it was, and now I have been going on the weekly basis for the past couple of months! I always order the butter chicken, rice, and garlic naan. That's my go to dish. It taste so good that I am too afraid to try anything else. I call in my order and always speak to Rocky. When I arrive the food is always hot and fresh and the portion sizes are enough for 2 people. They will customize your order and make your food more mild or more spicy if you ask! The naan pieces are huge and the rice is seasoned so well with herbs. I look forward to coming to Cafe India once a week and catching up with Rocky who is so sweet and always gives me complimentary dessert! He rocks (non pun intended)!
The food blew us away. The gentleman at the register offered us free dessert while we waited. It was out of this world.
I work dangerously close to Cafe India on 1st Street and it is one of my favorite lunch spots! People think I'm crazy the first time I take them there, but they never leave disappointed. The food is awesome! The owners make sure everyone is satisfied. They are very generous with their portions--which is especially great if you have a favorite item or two, like I do The chicken tikka masala is a staple in my lunch box! I also get the palak paneer all the time now-- it's a delicious spinach and cheese item.
I totally recommend this place to anyone who likes Indian food or who wants to try Indian food.
I was literally vomiting mid meal and still couldn't stop eating tells you all you need to know about their food. It was great!
We had a catering for Diwali party the food was really good. It's fresh and delicious it made us feel like we where back in India felt like home.
The quality of food is really nice.
The location is convenient. The prices are average. The food is good enough. The wait time is not so bad. All in all, I was not terribly disappointed by Cafe India. I will probably eat there again.
Cafe India in Walker's Point is located in a gas station strip mall. It's a great place for takeout or, when it's not a pandemic, a quick lunch. I recommend garlic naan and Palak/Saag Paneer, which we think is their best dish.
Have only gone for the lunch special but if I didn't work night shift I'd eat hear every day. $10 gets you a substantial lunch, well worth the money. Not very spicy, but seasoned well.
Absolutely fantastic Indian food. Best Chicken Tikka Masala I’ve had in, well, ever. Everything’s fantastic and prices are reasonable, will be coming back!
CAFÉ INDIA IS OUR FAVORITE AUTHENTIC INDIAN FOOD IN MILWAUKEE. And I’m not just saying that. I’ve been coming for the past 3 years with my girlfriend, and although we obviously come for the food, Rocky is an added bonus at the Walker’s Point location. He’s such a sweet man always making sure to say hello, never forgetting a face, and always making the experience of eating here feel like home. Thank you to the team at cafe India and always making our belly’s joyful.
Amazingly delicious Indian food here. Lunch specials from the hot counter give you a delectable smorgasbord of Indian specialties, you pretty much can't miss with any of the options. For dinner we usually get the gobi manchurian and butter chicken. The sauce from the butter chicken and the naan are a match made in heaven. The one thing I'll mention is that occasionally when you order something "mild" it ends up a little spicier than mild, at least to my palate - I like spice but my dining partner does not. So if you have someone in your life who can't handle much spice, make sure you mention it when ordering. The great thing about this place is the flavors are so good, I don't miss the spicy kick too much.
Ambiance is good
Service is good
Food - looks good some taste great but the biryani was not that good it felt like fry rice in chilly it was lacking in fragrance n taste of other spices. The paratha was amazing loved the paratha n mango lassy was good samosa was good too
Dint like the biryani only may b next time it vl b more flaverful.
Had a wonderful experience here. Catered food for my 50th birthday and couldn’t have been any better! Food was delicious, customer service was above expectations and I highly recommend calling Rocky if you are catering food! The best Indian food. Lila Thachenkary Perez
Chichen biranyi just OK......looking for better in MKE
Recently had lunch from Cafe India and I am a new fan! The Samosa Chat is my new go to dish, along with the Pakora Platter. Would definitely go back.
I love Cafe India! 😊❤️ The food is profoundly tasty, the staff are amazing and the restaurant is always super clean. Prices are quite fair and portions are over-sized for me so it’s often two meals for me. My favorite dish is the Chicken Tikka... over rice, with naan!! They have a lunch special daily til 3pm too that is phenomenal (even includes a beverage and roti which is a crisp bread). I always add the naan to boot. Everything I’ve tried, I’ve loved. This was my birthday dinner 4/1/19 and I’m already back for more because I cannot stop thinking about the food. 🤗 Thank you Cafe India! I’m so glad to have discovered you and so close to home!
I visit India Cafe with my co-workers regularly for lunch and have them cater Indian food for special occasions. Their food tastes great and service is prompt. Try them out - you won’t be disappointed!
I’ve been coming here for years—before they expanded and were just a counter with four high top tables. The quality of the food has been consistently amazing. The owner seems like someone who takes great pride in their business, and the kitchen staff is always kind. I’d recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala (of course) or the Palak Paneer/Shahi Paneer for a meatless option. Get a samosa, too—you’ll be glad you did.
This is where to get a great lunch on the cheap. Ive never been let down. Palak Paneer and Naan and Chicken Curry LETS GO! They also have a wide variety of diet sodas (not just typical Diet Cola) love this place!
Very good butter chicken and lamb tikka. Naan and Parantha are tasty! It’s clean and the staff are nice, waiting is fine because you get to watch Indian music videos. Definitely will come again!
Just had food from this location for the second time, and it was even better than the first. Ordered via EatStreet and selected a 6:30 delivery time. The food arrived a bit early (6:18 or so), but better early than late. We had the chicken tikka, stuffed onion and garlic naan, butter chicken, and samosas. Everything was so tasty, just phenomenal quality. One entree was a bit room temp while the other was piping hot. Maybe just a timing issue that could be worked on so both arrive hot. The naan was delicious, if I had to critique it I'd say a bit greasy, but so delicious.
If you eat at the location it looks a little questionable from the outside, but inside it is clean and inviting. Honestly, you are coming for the food. If you don't like the location, eatstreet was a great option.
The lunch special is great. Several staple items to choose from. You can add 3 or 4 and rice with a soda to go for a reasonable price. I'm not vegetarian, but the rotating veggie option is often my favorite.
The best home-style Indian food you can eat in Wisconsin. Not too rich, not too 'Westernized', just the perfect taste. And Deepak is great with his service too.
Highly recommended for an authentic Indian taste, and it's easy on the $$ too. What more can a homesick native ask for.
Excellent food with super fast service!! Their daal is delicious.
Very quick, reasonably priced and absolutely delicious! It rivals the other popular Indian restaurants here in Milwaukee. If you are looking for amazing Indian food with no frills, this is the place!
This place has some of the best Indian food around. Sometimes they will even give you complimentary samples if they know you are a loyal customer. Highly recommend!!
Don't let the appearance of the place to fool you! This is so far the best Indian food you'll try. The staff was attentive to detail and will recommend extras to have best experience. You'll not regret it.
Food is always great... large portions for the lunch special and a good price. The desserts are excellent as well. It is my favorite spot for Indian food. Be sure to try the garlic naan!
Great food, uncompromising customer service.
After a long tiring day at work, I had my food ordered through grubhub from Cafe India. The delivery drivers switched up the orders and I got the wrong ordered delivered to my place after 45 minutes of waiting. I called grubhub and told them the situation and they replied with 'sorry, will refund the amount'. While they provided an appropriate solution, it didn't help me get any less hangry!! Soon, I got a call from Ms Vijaya from Cafe India with an apology and she went above and beyond to get my order delivered to me. After a tiring day of work, this act of kindness meant a lot to me and I'm certain that I'll keep ordering from Cafe India for a very long time!
Absolutely loved the food! Left feeling stuffed.
Always come here. Best Indian food in milwaukee. Everything's great and consistently great! Eat here every week.
So good! Quick, tasty, consistent, and affordable. Always popping in for their 2 for $5 samosa deal (when available of course) and mango lassi! Thank you always Cafe India!
I’ve had a lot of Indian food in my life, and Cafe India makes the BEST. All the dishes are excellent and delicious. The staff is so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend making a visit.
Each time I have eaten here I love the food and place. Great indian food recalls me of my mom's food & great people. Whenever I need to go for quick munch I prefer going to café india ( at least 2 to 3 times a week). This is my favorite indian food spot. Thank GOD it is conveniently located near my home so what else can I more ask for :-))
Must Try !!! you'll love it ...
O... EM... GHEE!!! Drove from Illinois to Wisconsin to try Indian food. We are absolutely in love with Bijaya and staff! Clean, soft ambiance, and covid conscience. Bijaya and staff took great care of us, and served the most delicious plates! We had:
• Mango Lassi - Tini 🍒🥭
• Chicken Samosa 🍗
• Garlic Naan 🧄🍞
• Panga Chicken 🌶🥵
• Curry Lamb and plain rice 🐑🍚
It was all so worth it!!
Food was authentic. We tried Palak Paneer, very tasty. Parantha's were homely and fresh. Service was quick and staff were polite. Must visit. People drive from Chicago just for a meal at this restaurant.
If you're an attractive girl, or have an attractive girlfriend, expect to be creeped on by the manager. However, he'll give you (her) free food to demonstrate his power and value, so there's that.
The food is overall pretty good and the prices are reasonable. I'd recommend the lunch special or Thali special, as you'll get a variety. The chai is decent.
Had a great lunch from here today! They were able to quickly prepare food for our group and helped me carry it to my car when I came in to pick it up. I would order from Café India again!!
Awesome Awesome Awesome food. I came here multiple times with my family and ate inside and the food is great. I now take carry out very often and I am never unsatisfied. Best Indian place in Milwaukee!
The food was very good and they have a very good menu selection with tons of vegetarian options! The atmosphere could use some work but that doesn't bother me that much.
Wow! Now I know why they keep winning Best of Milwaukee! You order at the counter and the atmosphere is pretty basic. However, the food is beyond amazing!
Indian sweets sounded like just what I needed so I got the little gulab balls and decided to try something new. I got 2 fudge- looking squares, mango and chocolate, but they were not flavorful whatsoever and inedible. It was getting late so maybe those things get stale at the end of the day but my gulab jamun was fine.
The food is so good. The lady at the counter was very patient with me. She explained what everything was, since I didn’t know what a lot of stuff was. I really enjoyed the rasgulla. I also order the chicken biryani, soo good
Great price. DELICIOUS menu. Weird ambiance (I guess that I've never been to a "fast-food" Indian place before) but definitely worth looking past that because you're probably picking up your food to go.
Freaking amazing food. Lunch special is only 10.00 and you get an enough plate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant. Staff is friendly and fast.
I never leave reviews but had to leave one as the customer service here was impeccable. Thank you for an enjoyable dinner and delicious chai tea. The Samosas here are one of the best I’ve had from an Indian restaurant.
Lifelong Californian new to Milwaukee... used to live near and eat in Little India in Artesia/Cerritos (CA). The food here is great! Don't just order the usual stuff like tandoori or samosa... they excel in soupy curries. For the cold Milwaukee weathers, I'd get chicken korma with a side of naan, and then not as homesick.
Hands down the best Indian food in Milwaukee. All spices are toasted and ground on site. Sauces are home made. Meat is cooked from Raw to done. The Tikka Masala has a buttery richness and deep, complex spice that is unmatched.
The best Indian in town! I could eat here multiple times a week. The Chicken Tikka and the Tikka Masala are so good and flavorful.
Love this place!! Delicious food / great service!! Yikes to the $2 price hike tho🤔Butter Chicken/Naan/Rice use to be $14+ now $16+ …
I'm giving them 5 stars because I eat lunch here more than any other place. The lunch special is the way to go. A styro container that they let you load up with whatever you want on the buffett and a drink. Great deal. Chicken Tikka Masala is my favorite.
I LOVE there food. But I called 20 min b4 they closed for the night and was told they could not take a pick up order. After I explained I was 5 min away, they let me. I'm glad they did bc I was craving their food! And it was so good!
Pretty nice little place. Good food. Very popular. Convenient location. On same property as huge gas station. Join Postmates to have what you desire delivered from this restaurant and lots of other places around town.
All true home cooked North Indian Punjabi food lovers it's the destination. Even there simple Dal reminds me of my days when grand maa used to cook for me. All credit goes to Mr. Deepak and his team for providing us such healthy and tasty Indian delicacies. #lunchbuffe #palakpaneer #dalfry #musttry #milwaukeetravellers #mustvisit
Great food for Indian food lovers. Feels home made. Inspirational picture of Gandhi inside. Very good and low on cost. A pure hidden gem!
Really good food. I definitely recommend the butter chicken and the gobhi Manchuria. Very nice people and great service as well.
The food is delicious! Love the lunch buffet. FYI..it’s not an all you can eat buffet but the servings are so big, I always have left overs to take home.
The best Indian food in the Greater Milwaukee area! Their butter chicken is phenomenal and you have to get some garlic naan to go with it
THE BEST. My friends and I get Cafe India often and they always think we need to cater because the 4 of us all order the same thing.
They have good food. It is served through a window, in paper bagges. They have an efficent kitchen.
We had a delicious lunch here the other day. The food was fresh and not too spicy. Just perfect. We are going to be regulars.
Food is really good. Butter chicken is awsome. Samosa Chat was really good. I could've ate the whole thing by myself. Dai makhni was pretty good too.
The food here is always amazing and in large portions! Rocky and the rest of the staff are so friendly. Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed!
The wait was almost 60 minutes and we finally decided to be seated in a booth. It was a bit tight, but not too bad. I was thrilled to see the vegetable of the day was brussels sprouts, which I love.
Cafe India has some of the best tasting food in the city!
I come here for lunch at least once per week.
Delicious, Fast, Friendly
Excellent food and great service
Delicious... I'm like spicy chicken rice.. $
Busy place for a reason. Excellent food. Sorry no photo, I ate it all! Photo wouldn't do it justice, cuz it's all in the spices. Mmmmmmm
We visited this place for dinner.they have veg/ non-vegetarian a-la-karte as well as veg thali. All the items were tasty and reasonably priced. I'll visit again if visit Milwaukee.
Best freaking indian food, I had in a while....please dont change your food...authentic food that does not burn your tongue with peppers when you ask for spicy...
Affordable and Nice food. They have kitchen separated for vegetarian And non veg. Awesome Indian taste. I wish they also open in Chicago
They have a great lunchtime special. The food is great and I love their mango Lassi and Pakora.
The aromas, the flavors - amazing! It was so, so good! Can't wait to come back again and support this restaurant.
Amazing food every time! I wondered how it would be the first time I went because of its location. There was no cause for concern, it is delicious!
Best Indian food in the city. Not greasy or oily. Food always comes out fresh and hot and never skimps on quality.
This is the best Indian food in Milwaukee. The spice and flavors are amazing and the folks who work there are great!!
Maintains authenticity of Indian food. Love chicken curry, paneer shahi khurma and garlic naan. Have been coming here frequently... friendly staff .. cant go wrong with this place.
This place has some of the best Indian food around!. Highly recommend dropping in for the lunch special!!
Fresh authentic taste and quality. If you crave punjabi food then this is your destination. Simple menu but high on flavor.
We had naan and chicken curry both were authentic and the portions were pretty big. Amazing place for authentic Punjabi food.
Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The Lamb Biryani is incredible. The service is friendly as well.
The food is great, and the service is awesome. The place is clean and modest ... one of the best authentic Indian restaurants in Milwaukee
Good option to get / have taste of the real Punjab / North Indian cuisine. Above all, experienced staff with efficient culinary skills.
Great food! I got take out here and I drove from Appleton, an hour away. It was worth the drive.
The food was good and the staff was very friendly
Had a veg thali food in my last visit here. The food was good. One of the few limited options for Indian food in Milwaukee.
Great tandoori Indian food though. Same ownership but much better quality food than the similar place on Kk in Bay View.
Good food, good people very good sitting areas usually not good indian food in milwaukee area but this place is much better than most.
Phenomenal service and phenomenal food. I love it here
Fantastic food! Also, the friendly staff makes me smile. This is a staple for me and others from my office.
Super awesome food! Excellent service. The price is amazingly good and you get food that will remind you home. Must go!
Thanks for the delicious food that was served. Specially the goat curry and the spl. Chicken Malai Tikka. I highly recommend this place.

This is by far my favorite Indian restaurant in Milwaukee. Their lamb curry is amazing! Highly recommended it!
Veg malabar curry was out of this world. The staff was also very nice.
Had some difficulty ordering over the phone and the prices on their website is very, VERY outdated... the food is not cheap even though it is categorized as such on google (should be two "$" and not one).
Excellent food, modest menu but all done very well. Mango lassi is one of the best I've had.
Om nom nom! First decent Indian food we've had in months.
Very tasty and inexpensive. Perhaps the best gas station food available in USA. Many vegetarian options.
Food is AMAZING but they have horrible customer service! Would be a 5 out of 5 if I was served with a smile and nice attitude all the time.
Great food and the staff are very friendly! Never disappointed with my experiences at this fine establishment.
