been ordering from here for years. the chicken tikka, korma, and a couple other curries are a bit creamier and sweeter than you would expect, maybe to be suitable for Wisconsinites, so I’ll usually only get one of those and then get one vindaloo or other dish that is not creamy to balance it out. i love their vindaloo and goat biryani. they make my favorite biryani in milwaukee, and i order it every time im homesick. i tried their lassi once; it was a bit too sweet for my taste...

Came down from Oshkosh and had some chicken tikka masala and palak paneer with some plain naan and rice. Also had potato samosas. It was excellent!! I would definitely recommend eating their food!
September 2025
Excellent service, food, and prices, no different than the other Cafe India down the road.
Portion size for the price is great, and I don't think there is anything on the menu that falls short of being delicious.
Great people run this restaurant!
