What User doesn't like about The Indian Cafe:
loved our curry lentil served with rice. many flavored and flavored. was on the smaller side, but only enough for lunch. I wish she offered additional vegan options. we couldn't even try the brot, they said it wasn't vegan. menu displays many vegetarian options, but he said they could not be vegan made. bummer. View all feedback. What User likes about The Indian Cafe:
I was offered a selection of at least 5 vegetarian curries that could be made vegan. I chose the bhaji dum masala and it was delicious. The rice was also fantastic. There was a small mix-up with my order, but they quickly corrected it. The portions were generous. It would be helpful if the menu was more descriptive about the dishes. I will definitely return to this restaurant. View all feedback.

The food and service at this restaurant were excellent. The beef bhuna and chicken do piyaza were delicious. We also had Kingfishers to cool down the spiciness.
