All India Cafe
(Restaurants - Indian)
39 S Fair Oaks Ave, Pasadena  91105 • 626-440-0309
Distance: ~21.91 mi *
        Description: PASADENA. As the name indicates, you'll find dishes from all regions of India served at this aromatic cafe, a joint venture between two brothers, one of whom was once chef at L.A.'s popular Bombay Cafe. All India boasts authentic touches of native artwork, but the cuisine – potato pancakes, tandoori dishes, and curries – keeps diners coming back. The fact that lunch can be served in under an hour is an added plus. After enjoying the spicy cuisine, try a dish of their homemade Indian ice cream to cool your palate.
