All India Cafe - Indian Restaurant in Arcadia — Restaurant in Arcadia

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 — All India Café (Arcadia) Okay, I’ve been to the Pasadena and Glendale locations before, but this new Arcadia spot? Hands down the best one yet. It’s spacious, super vibey, and gives major desi energy. The decor, the aroma, the ambiance — it all hits different here. 🇮🇳✨

Appetizers: Started off strong with the pani puri shots — 🔥 lit, refreshing, and bursting with flavor. The tandoori chicken was juicy, perfectly charred, and packed with spice in the best way. My wife’s vegetarian picks were next level — she ordered the aloo tikki (so crispy, so good) and bhel puri, which instantly brought back those old-school India street food memories. 💭❤️

Main Course: I went classic with the chicken tikka masala — creamy, rich, and the chicken just melts in your mouth. My wife had dal and a paneer curry (can’t remember the exact name but it was 🔥). Everything was bursting with flavor. Also… the biryani. OMG. The rice was fragrant, fluffy, and perfectly spiced. I loved it so much, I ordered some to-go. No regrets.

Dessert: I always go for their ginger ice cream, and let me tell you — they absolutely nailed it. So refreshing with that warm, zingy kick. We also grabbed a Gajar ka halwa to take home — soft, sweet, and just how it should be.

Final thoughts: Arcadia’s All India Café is giving main character energy. Incredible food, amazing service, and nostalgic Indian vibes all around. If you’re craving real, flavorful Indian food — this is the spot. 🙌 Already planning my next visit!

I’m so impressed and happy with the consistency this restaurant has. This is the third location I’ve visited and I keep being happily surprised with everything they deliver. The staff is always so nice and welcoming, they know their stuff and are always open to help the newly foodies. Food, the most authentic and delicious experience every single time. They are always bringing new flavors, appetizers and dishes that are legit to their culture or have a twist with others. It’s always a great flavor adventure. This new location is stunning, with comfortable sitting and the esthetics is stunning. So inviting, modern and traditional all blending in the perfect design. Don’t waste your time, just come try my favorites: Pani Puri Shots, Samosas and Onion Pakoras to start, of course with one of their signature Indian Cocktails. Main course has to have naan bread no matter what and you can’t go wrong with the Chicken Tikka Masala or any tandoori meats. Desserts with steal your heart, they have home made ice cream (pistachio and ginger - yum) and all the Indian treats too. Ask for the donut balls, they are to die for, or dessert sampler, yes! 🤤 If I haven’t convinced you yet, just know they have an option for every one. Vegans, gluten free, meat lovers and all spice levels. Get ready to feel a burst of flavors that will make you want to come back for seconds and thirds. All India Cafe, you guys warm my heart through food and great service....

We usually go to the original All India Café in Glendale, where we’ve always loved the delicious food and warm hospitality. Recently, the owner suggested we check out their new Arcadia location, which her brother runs — so we decided to give it a try!

We started with a dosa appetizer, and it was fantastic — crispy, flavorful, and something new for me. The thali was exactly what we expected — a nice balance of dishes that highlight traditional Indian flavors. The naan, however, wasn’t as soft and fluffy as the Glendale location. The chicken tikka masala also had a different style — less creamy and a bit pasty compared to Glendale’s, though the chicken itself was tender and flavorful.

One of the highlights was the tea (chai) — it had that authentic Indian taste, rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. It truly reminded us of real Indian tea made back home — a great way to end the meal!

Overall, the vibe was welcoming, the owner was friendly, and the restaurant felt clean and new. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and service make up for it.

⭐ Final Verdict: All India Café Arcadia is a great new addition to the family! With just a few tweaks to match the creamy perfection of Glendale’s kitchen, it’s well on its way to becoming a...
