India Cafe

India Cafe on Washtenaw Avenue in Ypsilanti serves traditional Indian and Pakistani dishes alongside newer Indian creations. The menu centers on biryani with lamb, chicken, goat or vegetables, tandoori chicken cooked in a clay oven, and chicken tikka masala, with garlic naan baked fresh. Chef Shah, a former ceramic engineer who moved into cooking after arriving in the US, also offers a long vegetarian section, seafood curries, and desserts such as kheer and gulab jamun.

The cafe is a dine-in restaurant, and it does not run its own online ordering. Customers can get food delivered through DoorDash, Mr Delivery or Grubhub, and catering is also listed. Posted hours have varied from one listing to another, so it is worth confirming a visit time before heading over.
