" Had lunch here today and was quite impressed! The Gobi Manchurian was spicy and very flavorful, coupled with a large serving of Naan. I also tried the Paneer Butter Masala which melted in my mouth! The environment might be simple, but the cleanliness is commendable. I walked in expecting typical fast Indian food but was pleasantly surprised at how authentic and delicious the dishes were. Highly recommend for a casual meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was highest excited to visit after seeing reviews and it really lived up to the hype! The dishes we tried were flavorful, especially the Lamb Biryani and Mango Lassi. I also appreciated how the staff was knowledgeable about the menu and able to provide great recommendations. The place is beautifully decorated and adds to the dining experience. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great Indian meal. Just wish it had more seating! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Cafe India after reading great reviews online, and it didn't disappoint! The atmosphere was bustling, which adds to the overall experience. We ordered a mix of vegetarian dishes: Baingan Bharta and Palak Paneer, along with some butter naan. The food was fantastic, and everyone enjoyed it. The staff were welcoming and helped us navigate the menu as it was our first time. After this experience, we can definitely say we’ll be returning frequently. A wonderful find! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I enjoyed our experience at Cafe India. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy. We were surprised by the authentic flavors in the dishes we ordered, especially the Lamb Curry. The only downside was that the tables could have been cleaner, but the quality of food made up for it. We will definitely be returning for more tasty meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I occasionally get takeout from Cafe India, and it never disappoints! Their Butter Chicken is rich and creamy, just how I love it. The Garlic Naan is massive and perfect to scoop up the curry. The portions are generous, too; I usually have enough left over for lunch the next day. Even though the service can be slow during peak times, it's worth the wait for such delicious food. Highly recommend the Lunch Thali — a little bit of everything! Overall, my go-to spot for Indian food in Milwaukee. " (*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*)
