Decided to eat here based on other reviews, and we were very glad we did. It was DELICIOUS (and inexpensive)! One of the best Indian meals I've had. Wished I lived in the area, I would be there every week.
Great place,people, price. Going again and again!
Who cares about the atmosphere when the food is this good. Best Indian food in the twin cities.
Do not judge this book by the cover. My husband was in Mpls a month ago and found this place online. He called ahead and told them how much he wanted to spend to take home to me, and could they give him a variety of dishes? They did, and everything was delicious! Samosas, naan, vegetable curry, lamb were all flavorful and held up well to over an hour of travel.
Cut ahead to yesterday, when we were in the Cities again. We found the restaurant and I was not impressed by the decor - kind of "employee break room with a buffet" decor - but it is very clean and the scent in the air would make you hungry even if you'd just ate. We ordered an appetizer variety plate, onion naan, and beverages (sweet lasse and hot tea); I had a chicken dish with lentils and spinach and my husband had goat kadai. We shared with rice, and all dishes were tasty, spicy but not too hot, and generous. The service was very warm, polite, and swift. Go there, and enjoy their food!

Wolf in sheeps clothing. Do not let the initial impressions of this small restaurant turn you away. We entered at about 7:00 PM on Friday; One other couple sitting in the corner. Small, crowded laminate tables, fluorescent lights overhead, a buffet rack tucked into the corner. I looked at my wife tentatively. The waiter brought glasses of water and some stained menus - he had trouble understanding the conversation. I looked at my wife again; we ordered. Phaan, Naan, Shrimp fried basmati rice, chicken del Sara. Then I found out why they don't dress the place up. If they did, they would never fit all the people in the place. The Phaan was exactly the correct amount of spice - not a chemical burn but a lingering heat - mixed exotically with the anise in the curry. My wife said my face was red from the spice, but I thoroughly enjoyed the artfully balanced flavors. The Naan was exactly how I expected it, soft, tasty, yet tough enough to handle the food. The fried rice made the perfect accoutrement to the main dish. Large servings, incredibly tasty food, well worth the charges. By the time we left, there was a line waiting out the door, seems this little secret is kept with the locals.
Great food, great prices - MY FAVORITE Indian food spot in the Twin Cities!. I cannot get enough of India Cafe's yummy food! While the decor and interior aren't the most pleasant, this is definitely my top spot for Indian cuisine in the Twin Cities.
For the price and the freshness/spice developments here - TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! I've gotten take-out many times and it's always extremely fresh (great rice, great naan, tender chicken with an awesome amount of sauce to spare!). I usually get a few items and my bill is barely over $13, which makes it the best deal I've found around minneapolis thus far, not to mention that the portions are HUGE (I had leftovers for two meals!).
I also tried the buffet once on a vacation day, and am only saddened that I don't work close enough to come here more often. SUPER CHEAP and there's a GREAT variety compared to most other indian food buffets.
Yum. So many flavors, so much food. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. I will be back.
Excellent food. I have been here once before and really liked it so I came back, this time with my husband. I had the Tandoori Chicken last time and loved it so ordered it again and my husband ordered a whole bunch of things to try it all. Everything was hot and fresh, but the cheese pakoda was just amazing. I seriously had dreams about that stuff is was so yummy!
My second time here and the food is great. I am Indian and this time brought my parents. Everyone liked the food. Best Indian food in town
Accidentally stumbled on this delightful restaurant. It's in a small storefront and is humble inside, but the food is EXCELLENT! Veggie korma was just spicy enough, veggies tender-crisp. The saag paneer was almost sweet by comparison, with generous huge chunks of paneer. Nom.
Good food and welcoming staff. A little time consuming as the orders take some time to be prepared, hopefully because everything is cooked to order. Small establishment but considering no dine in is currently offered overall a nice place for take out Indian Pakistani food. They say the food is halal and have some Islamic art in the restaurant which seems like the owners might be from Pakistan... would recommend for a quick bite.
This place was great, excellent variety of flavors and amazing value. Staff was friendly. Our food was fresh and ready quickly. Definitely worth supporting through the pandemic and beyond!
Phenomenal experience!!! I only got take-out but the owner & her staff were all incredibly welcoming & very attentive of my needs the entire time I was there.
Everything from the decor, to the taste of my dishes, & service, were all perfectly on point. This is a Twin Cities MUST EAT spot for certain, if you haven't already been here!! You can truly feel & see the authenticity of this restaurant with the ambiance they've created & the food they offer.
I can't wait to be back for more, and actually dine in with them once the pandemic is over!
This restaurant is certainly one of the tastiest place in the neighborhood. Whenever I come there I am profoundly satisfied. They always keep their high level service and the topmost level of meals they provide. You can never go wrong with this restaurant. Highly recommended.
Simply Amazing! Full of flavors and Moon was an awesome server. If you want authentic Indian food on this side of town, this is IT!
I have been to several Indian restaurants in the twin-cities metro area, and this restaurant is better than most of them in terms of taste. The price is not high and one of only few restaurants which serves south Indian cuisine of authentic taste. Their lunch buffet is cheap and never been disappointed. They have more than few vegetarian options in buffet as well as non-veg. The hosts are very polite and service is good. I would go again and again to taste their food.
