Favorite restaurant in Iowa City
Tasted just as perfect as the last time. I never have to worry whether all my ordered items are bagged. They never forget a thing. Thank you India Cafe!! You?ve been my favorite restaurant food and service wise for 4 years now!!
One of my favorite Iowa City restaurants- l have their lunch buffet about once a week. This was my first time ordering from the evening menu - used delivery service because currently home bound. Food arrived hot and tasty. I wish they had the curried chicken on the lunch buffet - very nice .
I want thrilled with the samosas and tamarind sauce. I like a pastry wrap and more peas in my samosa, and a thicker tamarind sauce.
