Editor’s Favorite Restaurants to Try This Weekend in LA
"Most think that the best South Asian fare in LA is found in Artesia or scattered throughout the region, but it is All India Cafe that dominates Northeast LA. Open for 30 years in Pasadena and six years in Glendale, the restaurant serves a menu that is mostly North Indian. The saag paneer is made without heavy cream and yet is full of flavor. Crowd favorites like butter chicken and lamb curry are notable too. Best of all, the restaurant has an extensive cocktail menu, a rarity among South Asian restaurants. Staff prepare homemade yogurt for the Bollywood Lassi which is shaken with soju vodka, while the Dirty Chai utilizes a house-made masala chai with infused vodka and cinnamon. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Eater Staff
