Cafe India — Restaurant in Milwaukee

Ate here for the first time last Friday, had the lunch buffet with chicken tikka masala, the lamb, and the chicken curry. Thought it was a good deal to include a soda and a big piece of naan. It was a lot of food and tasted good going down.

However.

Middle of the afternoon I started to experience what can only be termed "severe gastric distress" including many rushes to the bathroom. What followed was awful...had to bring garbage bags with me for the ride home as I was so nauseated. Went straight to bed and, except for rushing to the bathroom many many times, stayed there for about 14 hours.

I have had food poisoning once before and this was as bad as I remember. The place seems popular enough, but I will never eat there again. I don't know if this was an isolated incident, but forewarned is forearmed.

Update 4-18

Based on co-workers experiences I went back a while after my initial post. The food was really very good, especially for the price. It has over the past two years now become a once-a-week lunch stop for me. Wednesdays feature a cauliflower vegetarian dish which is truly wonderful, even though I usually avoid cooked cauliflower. My rating has been adjust...

I travel for work frequently. I also love Indian food, because I’ve vegetarian, and it’s always guaranteed to have plenty on the menu to choose from. I initially ordered from DoorDash the first night I was staying downtown for work; I ordered Paneer Masala and Naan. The paneer feels fresh and squeaky, like they use local paneer. The spices and quality of ingredients is incredible. The naan is mildly sweet and chewy, and so buttery. Long story short, I ordered again the next night, again from DoorDash. Tonight, the third night here for work, I tried to order from DoorDash again, but we worked later and the restaurant was “closed” on DoorDash. This place was so good that I called in an order, hopped in the car and drove down to pick up my dinner.

If you like Indian food, try this place. While I can’t speak for anything on the menu except for Paneer Masala, I am willing to bet anything you get from Cafe India will be incredible. Not only was the food delicious, but the employees were...

I can't say enough amazing things about Cafe India and Rocky. My friend drives for Postmates and had to pick up the butter chicken dish for someone. She told me that the food smelled so good in her car that she had to return and try it herself! She returned for herself, told me how it was, and now I have been going on the weekly basis for the past couple of months! I always order the butter chicken, rice, and garlic naan. That's my go to dish. It taste so good that I am too afraid to try anything else. I call in my order and always speak to Rocky. When I arrive the food is always hot and fresh and the portion sizes are enough for 2 people. They will customize your order and make your food more mild or more spicy if you ask! The naan pieces are huge and the rice is seasoned so well with herbs. I look forward to coming to Cafe India once a week and catching up with Rocky who is so sweet and always gives me complimentary dessert! He rocks (non...
