    The food here was delicious and such great value. We are originally from the UK and have been trying to find a great place for a curry for the past 18 months, Ghandi Cafe is that spot. The food was flavorful and the spice levels were perfect. If you are looking for a great curry spot this is the one!

    An institution! Excellent, reliable food at a lovely hole-in-the-wall. They don’t make them like this anymore.

    Nice staff, cozy atmosphere, not too noisy but unfortunately not very authentic Indian cuisine. The butter chicken is sweetish and probably made with ketchup. Spinach and paneer was just boring. We were quite disappointed.

    This was my 2nd time at Ghandi Cafe and I have to say it is becoming my favorite spot. The staff was friendly albeit very busy with a rush of 20 people coming in since I was seated. My food was immaculate, I had the chicken tikka masala and they offered me free side dishes and a dessert. It was a great experience and if you're looking for REALLY good Indian cuisine at an affordable cost, I highly recommend this place.
