India Cafe

A solid Indian Restaurant is an essential part of the Rolodex for any foodie. There are so many options in the A2-Ypsi area, and India Cafe is a great one to add to that list. Located on the busy Washtenaw Ave corridor, it's easy to find and is in a place with ample parking. The restaurant is simple, but the food and service is where this really shines. An experienced chef takes your order, cooks the food fresh, and delivers it to your table, all while also juggling takeout orders that come in. I went with Chicken Tikka Masala for my first visit. It's always a hit and this iteration came out beautifully. I went for the lowest spice level and it was flavorful without being too hot. Served with a side of seasoned basmati rice, it hit the spot. Portions were generous enough that I was able to take some leftovers to work the following day. This will be my new spot for Indian food, whether I'm dining in or carrying out!

Omg! The food is Amazing! I've been making a conscious effort to support small local businesses and don't let the strip mall exterior in Ypsilanti fool you! He cooked it fresh to order. Like home kitchen style authentic indian cuisine. It's so flavorful! One of the best indian restaurants I've experienced. The food is handcrafted

Not sure what that other review is talking about that the Tandoori chicken is wrong. If it's not a "typical Tandoori chicken" I don't care because it's the tastiest I've had in the area. Can get 4 or 8 piece, 4 is plenty for 1 person and you will probably have leftovers. Comes with rice or naan, both of which are awesome. The only other thing I've tried here are the samosas, which are scrumptious. Looking forward to coming back and trying some more menu items.Definitely a good addition to the eats in the area, and the place seems to be a one man show. He's been super nice and professional every time I've been. I think right now they only do dine in/walk in orders and phone orders, no third party apps.

Grabbed some takeout on the way home and heard good things about this hole in the wall. Signage definitely isn't the restaurant's strong suit, but you'll find it under the banner of Foods of India. The premises look a little bit like a mix between a raided post-apocalyptic convenience store and break room, but you know that's the type of place where you'll get the good authentic stuff! We are greeted by a slightly grumpy gentleman shuffling between kitchen and cash register. Looks like this establishment is predominantly a 1-man show. Service was fast and even though we ordered right then for take out, food came as quick as 10 minutes. We took it home and chowed down. Honestly, it was some of the best chicken makhani ever had! Nice rust-colored, rich, creamy sauce, flavorful thigh meat, and a nice kick of heat in the back of the throat! The saag paneer was also great with a nice taste of spinach, fresh paneer, and a plethora of spice. While a slight preferential thing, the naan was a bit too fluffy and I like mine a tad thinner and crispy, but overall an amazing takeout spot if you're craving Indian food in Ann Arbor.

Convenient location on solano. It's one of better Indian restaurants in area. Large indoor seating area that is nice.

to start the food is beyond phenomenal amazing flavors and soooo tasty! the service is so wonderful the owners are so nice and helpful and through everything you can tell very passionate about the experience they provide ! it is very clean inside and never more than 20minuet wait for terrific quality,the food is always fresh and great portions! Lots of options for different tastes

This is the finest Indian food in southeastern Michigan . The owner is the head chef and cooks every dish himself. The seating area has been expanded and provides great ambiance. The owner Mr. Shah is a very wise and philosophical man who will take the time to discus life with any customer and give you positive insight into how to cope with day to day stresses of modern life .

I defer to my parents judgement on what is great Indian food.They spent years in India and have found the cook, Shah, at India Cafe to make the tastiest Indian dishes in the area. We look forward to discovering his new location in Ypsilanti!

This is the BEST Indian food I have ever had!!! Best butter chicken and naan, so delicious!! My only wish is that they had a buffet so I didn't have to pick just one dish!

Hands down, the best Indian cooking in the area. I love the personal touch and Mr Shah is a dependable cook! I hope he expands the dining space in his new Ypsilanti restaurant. His take on Tandoori Chicken is moist amd a nice spice base with a nice mix of flavorful vegetables. I love his curries too, next time again. Another good addition on Washtenaw!
