" Thindi Cafe has a chill vibe that I adore. The food was delicious, especially the sandwiches. However, I felt the portion sizes were slightly small for the price point. The service was lovely, and the staff was eager to assist. I enjoyed my time there and plan to return to try their new fall dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a genuine Indian street food experience, look no further than Thindi Cafe! The idli and sambar were delectable, and the chutney was bursting with flavor. The café has a vibrant atmosphere, and the staff is generally friendly. I had the spicy bhaji with chai, and it was comforting. My only complaint was that it took a little longer than I expected for the food to arrive, but it was worth the wait. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Thindi Cafe! The rich flavors of the dhokla and the masala dosa were just fantastic. The creative take on traditional dishes is something to admire. The cafe has a relaxed ambiance that makes it an ideal gathering spot. My only concern is the service; things felt a bit slow, but the quality of food compensates for it. Highly recommended for anyone craving good Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant evening at Thindi Cafe! My focus was on sampling their famous vada pav. It did not disappoint; it was simply amazing! The ambiance was cute yet casual. My only criticism is that the service lacked depth; the staff seemed overwhelmed despite not being busy. I would still recommend this cafe for the food itself, but it could use some polish in service delivery. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thindi Cafe provided a unique experience. Many Indian cafes tend to Americanize their offerings, but this cafe kept it real. The flavors are spot on, especially the dabeli! The atmosphere felt like a blend of modern and traditional, making it appealing to a variety of patrons. The only downside was a slightly long wait time for orders. But overall, I’d visit again for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a pleasant surprise! The food at Thindi Cafe was bursting with authentic Indian flavors! The bhaji was heavenly, and the drinks complemented it exceptionally well. The cafe has a lovely vibe with an aesthetic that feels very welcoming. However, I did feel the food portions were on the smaller side for the price. That said, I will be back to explore more options! " (*Curated Review*)
