I've been going to Cafe of India for two years and it has, by far, been my favorite Indian restaurant in Cambridge. However, beginning about a month or so ago, everytime I've gone there (usually once every 2 weeks) it has been horrible. The water tastes like dish water. The samosas were undercooked. And, when we pointed out that they were uncooked, they took them away with a promise to give us new ones, but they never gave them to us. The waiters, and even the manager who took away the samosa, were rude! No smiles here. Also, there is a CharlieCard discount (see the Charlie Card discount book online!) for free samosas with the purchase of an entree. The waiter was not pleased when we showed him our CharlieCard. If you don't want to give the discount, then don't advertise! Plea to the owners/managers: Please return this restaurant to the way it was before this past summer (2008). I loved coming here, but would love fresh water, cooked samosas, and maybe a smile or two. Thanks!
Pros: tikka masala is delicious!
Cons: rude waiters and management

This by far had to be the worst restaurant I have ever dined in. Food was cold, cooked hours prior to ordering. Some of the food had no flavor, not even salt. Other dishes were cold, and too salty. The chicken tandori, was too dry, and must have been cooked at least two days prior to ordering. The meal for two people at $37 was a joke! Everything was bite sizes, the samosa was over fried and cold, the beef kabab portions were very small, and too dry. I am shocked this place is still in business. The waiters were rude, and could not even show a smile. Do not eat their, Eating a month old bread, is better than their food. I am very serious, at least I feel lucky that I did not end up in a hospital after my horrible experience at cafe india. Please, take my advise, and save your money: Do not eat their!
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Nice location
