" I was a bit skeptical at first because it's located in a gas station, but Cafe India blew me away! I tried their Paneer Tikka and Mango Lassi. The paneer was marinated well, and the spices were spot on! The Lassi was a perfect complement — sweet and refreshing after the spicy food. The staff there are very hospitable too, it felt like dining in someone's home. Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience! This is a hidden gem in Milwaukee that I will tell all my friends about. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe India is definitely a hidden treasure. Their lunch specials offer a great deal, with a generous serving of curry, rice, and naan. I opted for the Butter Chicken, which was excellent, and packed with flavors. The staff is friendly and ensures you're taken care of. The interior is simple but clean. I had a great experience, will surely recommend it to friends looking for good Indian food in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated a birthday at Cafe India, and it was fantastic! We ordered a variety of dishes, including Samosas, Lamb Biryani, and Chicken Tikka. Each dish was bursting with flavor. The staff was incredibly accommodating, even helping us pick out recipes for a few vegetarian friends. The atmosphere was cheerful, with lovely decor that made the evening special. The price was reasonable considering the amount and quality of food we received. If you're looking for a place that serves authentic Indian food in a cozy setting, don't miss this one!

" Cafe India is where you want to be for authentic Indian cuisine! I indulged in the Paneer Tikka and a Mango Lassi - both spectacular! The staff really knows their stuff and provided great service, making sure everything was to my liking. I do wish there were more dessert options on the menu, though. Overall, the prices are very reasonable, and the food is fresh and tasty. I plan to return soon to try other items! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Cafe India was a delightful experience! The moment I walked in, the aroma of spices hit me, and I knew I was in for a treat. I ordered the Chicken Biryani and the Garlic Naan, both of which were absolutely scrumptious. The Biryani was fragrant, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. I also appreciated how friendly the staff was; they made me feel welcome and even offered recommendations. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making it a great spot for a casual dinner. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent dinner at Cafe India last night! The Butter Chicken was rich and creamy, paired perfectly with Naan. I enjoyed every bite. The restaurant was quite busy, which added to a lively atmosphere, but we did have to wait a little longer for our food. Not a big deal though, since I could tell it was made fresh. I will not hesitate to dine here again and recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Indian food in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has fantastic food, I was genuinely surprised! I enjoyed the Chicken Curry and the Naan, both were delicious. The curry was thick and had the right amount of spices without being too overwhelming. My only caveat is the seating arrangement, which felt a bit cramped when it got busy. The service was friendly, and I loved the insight into the menu options. Overall, worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)
