I just had the pleasure of eating at India cafe this evening. Upon entering the establishment I was greeted by shah, he took a moment to welcome me to his restaurant and asked me how my day was going. I took a moment to look over the menu and chose to order the lamb korma with garlic nan. The meal arrived in a very timely manner and honestly was some of the best food I have eaten in a while. Hats off to shah. His food is amazing, I also got to sit and chat with him after my meal and really enjoyed his stories and take on the world! I will be going back again soon!

People tend to fall into two main groups when choosing a restaurant: those who prioritize aesthetics and those who prioritize food. If you're in the first group, this may not be the best place for you. If you're in the second group, you'll likely love it — the food and service are outstanding.
It's also worth noting that all restaurants in the area undergo at least one inspection per year — a reassurance for those who might equate a lack of décor with a lack of cleanliness

We ordered a handful of things off the menu and everything was cooked to perfection! Im happy we stumbled upon this place.

It changed addresses but the food is still as delicious as always. This is a one-man show and his focus is on service and food, not so much ambiance and organization. His kitchen is a mess, but the food is made as you order. The tandoori chicken is a must!

We went to India Cafe recently and we had a marvelous time! The waiter that served us was very kind and the food was exceptional. My family and I agree on one thing: This is by far the best Indian cuisine that you can get in the Ann Arbor area.

Amazing food! The location is new but food is the same.

Place is a hole in the wall and the kitchen is kind of a disaster... but the food was super delicious and the owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. Felt like he was letting me into his home and cooked for me. The only reason I'm not giving a fifth star is because of the lack of cleanliness and character in the place.

I am visiting Michigan and somehow food this small restaurant. I enjoy Inidian and Pakistani food. Just the right food, very tasty. I have been eating here for a few months. Thought I would give it a review before I go back to California. Today, I am having Channa Masala and Garlic Naan. Love it! Normally, I eat chicken masala and whole wheat roti. The owner cooks, so if you have any food sensitivity, just ask.
Best Indian food I’ve had! The owner is very kind and an excellent cook! Delicious butter chicken is my favorite!

I will not be coming back here, the reviews are very misleading as place is not upkept and the kitchen looked like a health hazard, the place had a funky smell, swear I could almost smell rotten chicken ?. The biggest issue for me was I ordered chicken samosas and I saw him handle them with unwashed hands, as soon as I saw that I canceled the rest of my order I was going to place. Then I heard him microwaving the samosas, if Gordon Ramsey taught me anything a microwave in the kitchen is a HUGE no-no. If I am out spending my money I at least expect the food to be homemade and not microwaved as I can do that at home.
I'm disappointed that I didn't know about this sooner. I got 2 stuffed naans and a fried veggie appetizer. All unbelievable. I watched the owner make my bread from scratch. He apologized about the wait but that's unnecessary when you make food like that. I just mentioned my son and he gave me a free mango lassy for him. What a sweetheart. I'll die on this place. Amazing! ?????
There is an India Cafe in Ann Arbor and I'm convinced the 5 star reviews ate at that place restaurant. Even the pictures make no sense. They are not of the building I went to. The building I went to was a distaster zone. Piled up dishes. Bare walls. A single cook working in a nasty kitchen. The food was disappointing, the chai was not chai in the slightest. If you're thinking of eating at the Ypsilanti location. And ignore any review that shows a clean looking place with a yellow wall. That is NOT this restaurant.
Great lunch!
