The food was delicious and reasonably priced! Nice decor and very clean. Even the restroom was clean. I’ll definitely be back.

Reasonably priced, tasty snacks, I wish they increase number of items though, and improve the Menu listings

3 stars for concept, interesting menu and the cafe outlook.I have some zero investment suggestions to improve the dine in experience- make a custom playlist a bit more sophisticated to match the interior of the cafe. (English+hindi / old + new)- maybe turn the blinds down during sunny hours to give the cafe more rustic look- use the TVs to play some sports or sitcom , instead of showing a slideshow of items that are not on the menu.I was disappointed with the Tacos as they used big tortillas instead of the small ones which did not make sense at all.Chole Kulche is really good.

This is probably the best kept secret in the Irving/Valley Ranch/Coppell area. They've got the food, ambience and prices just right! We stopped by on a Friday afternoon for a cup of Madras filter coffee (kaapi anyone?) and Cutting chai. Both of those were as close to authentic as we've found this side of Chennai and Mumbai. We also got the veg puff, bread pakora, chili chicken taco and paneer tikka pocket for a snack, and a veg biryani for later. All the food tasted and felt (temperature) extremely fresh. None of the items felt like they'd been sitting under a lamp or had been double-fried. We were the only customers at that time of afternoon, but hope that's not indicative of their regular traffic. Definitely onto my list of "addas" to return to.

Got some food to go from United Indian Cafe for lunch. Tried the Pav Bhaji which is fantastic! Also one of my favorite dishes so I was very happy with it. The paneer pocket was also very good! During Navratri this week, I'll be going back for more vegetarian items to try from here. Also got a White mocha frappe.. really really good! Definitely try this spot if you haven't already.

The food is great and I love the prices. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they raised them. The samosa are authentic and good. People are chill and kind.

Food was good, we ordered tacos but instead of giving paneer tikka taco they gave us chicken tikka taco which we saw after coming home and ended up going back to exchange it. Please do a favor and write on top of the to go box what is what.

This has become my go to spot for a quick and delicious food. Everytime I’ve been here the food has been super flavorful and the service is always spectacular. We were particularly impressed with the veg byriani and the chilly paneer tacos. The lattes are also pretty good. Absolutely love this place!

Awesome food, low prices, great ambiance, clean bathrooms, good service.I got the tacos, pav bhaji, samosa chaat, and chai. I was pleasantly surprised all the portions were quite large, each a meal in its own right.

Celebrating the iconic 'KEEMA PAV' from the IRANI RESTAURANTS in BOMBAY (MUMBAI) at the UNITED INDIAN CAFÉ in Irving, TX! Check it out! For many of us raised in BOMBAY now called "MUMBAI", we have fond and indelible memories of the 'IRANI CHAI' and the 'BUN MASKA' (buttered bread also called "BRUN MASKA") from the IRANI RESTAURANTS which were ubiquitous across the metroplex. Founded by the gentle and enterprising ZOORASHTRIAN people (also called "PARSIS" who fled from genocide by the Shia Muslims in IRAN, to INDIA on boats not unlike the 3 lost tribes of JEWS from the MIDDLE-EAST who also came to INDIA on boats to escape Genocide and Persecution and settled down in BOMBAY, Cochin and Kolkata) as well the SHIA MUSLIMS from IRAN who came to INDIA to trade and settled down there, the IRANI RESTAURANTS were the closest thing to 'STARBUCKS' for the middle class Bombay Office goer in the 70's 80's and 90s! Opened at the street corners considered inauspicious by the local businessmen, the PARSI owned IRANI restaurants proliferated at mainstream localities primarily inhabited by the HINDUS where Parsi colonies were usually located, while the Muslim owned IRANI establishments were usually located in the Muslim ghettos of Bombay (though they welcomed people from every strata or caste with no discrimination whatsoever), and were the places where office going clerks, junior staff and even white collar folks commenced their day with a piping hot cup of IRANI CHAI (caramelized Chai with lots of milk froth) and fresh from the oven 'BUN MASKA' - the staple breakfast that would carry them thru to lunch! On pay day or when they brought their families out to lunch or dinner (the IRANI restaurants usually had a second floor reserved for families) they would splurge with the iconic 'PARSI KEEMA PAV' (minced goat curry with the Pav bread) which was my personal favorite (besides the iconic DHANSAK) which my PARSI friends had introduced me to, and I was hooked for life! Delighted to inform you that you can now sample the iconic 'KEEMA PAV' from the IRANI RESTAURANTS of BOMBAY (fairly close to the real thing - photo below) at the recently opened 'UNITED INDIA CAFÉ' next to INDIA 101 (run by the same owners) which also serves delicious BOMBAY CHAAT, CHICKEN PUFFS, VADA PAV, SAMOSAS and KULCHAS as well as some NORTH-INDIAN delicacies (menu below) that you can wash down with their signature ADRAK CHAI (Ginger infused Chai with Cardamon) that I highly recommend! For the complete IRANI RESTAURANT experience outside MUMBAI (since most of these establishments have sadly closed down to make way for high rise buildings and multiplex theaters), check out 'DISHOOM' on your next trip to LONDON (you will likely need to reserve a table at least a week in advance!) - a city which boasts of the finest INDIAN restaurants beyond the borders of INDIA, and the largest number of MICHELIN starred INDIAN restaurants anywhere - 8 of the 15 Michelin starred Indian restaurants in the world are in LONDON...believe it or not! Until such time, get a sneak preview of what to anticipate at 'DISHOOM' with the 'PARSI / IRANI KEEMA PAV' at the UNITED INDIAN CAFÉ next to INDIA 101 in Irving, TX! Hope they serve the iconic PARSI Delicacies 'CHICKEN DHANSAK' and the 'PATRANI MACCHI' as well as the iconic CHICKEN XACUTI, SHRIMPS BALCHOW, CHICKEN CAFREAL and the SORPOTEL (Indo-Portuguese Delicacies from GOA), that is NOT offered on any INDIAN RESTAURANT MENU in this town or across the US (hint, hint! ) in the foreseeable future! Bon Appetit! Check it out: UNITED INDIAN CAFÉ 3311 Regent Blvd. # 121, Irving, TX 75063. Tel # (972) 636-4105.

Great place nice ambience. Quick little bites great price. Tried Keema Pai and spicy paneer wrap. Would definitely recommend.

We ran into this place by chance, and definitely glad we went in! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was phenomenal! It's Semi fusion like the tacos, which is loaded with great flavors! When they say it's spicy, it's actually spicy. I highly recommend the Chili Paneer taco if you like spicy food. The Chicken Tikka masala taco was great as well! Samosas are fresh and crispy. I highly recommend this place. Very cute decor as well.

Good place to have nice coffee.Ambience - This place is clean and well sanitized. The good interiors and nice color combination.Service - With a warm welcome took our order from the front desk. We placed an order and got our table.We ordered madras coffee and cappuccino and also chicken masala taco.Food - The cappuccino is really aromatic and flavor some with balanced acidity.Madras coffee - it’s dark roast brew which is little bitter but tastes good on my tongue.Chicken taco is one of the best tacos ever with Indian flavor. We love them very badly.Good place to have snacks/brunch like chicken tacos

The cafe is very aesthetic and modern. I got the peach green tea smoothie, bread pakora, and 2pc samosa.The smoothie tasted very healthy/fresh and not artificial. The food was absolutely delicious!I did wait 20min for my order but it was worth the wait as it was all entirely fresh. Will be coming back again to try more of their menu. The prices are very reasonable as well and staff was friendly.

This place is a must if you like indian street food. Great quality complimented by a nice casual vibe. Taste comes pleasantly close to authentic indian street food. Finally, chaat done right by someone in the metroplex. Also, tea and latte are the must try among others.
