Cardamom Restaurant

We were a large family group and after a wait, the host was able to accommodate us even though it was close to kitchen closing time. Service was amazing, food was great. However food is pricier than other Indian restaurants, appetizer portion sizes were small, main courses were smaller to just the right portions. Drinks were good. Overall, we had a good meal and had a good time.

Delicious Indian food for a reasonable price. Portion sizes are the correct size but may seem small to some. We requested medium spice level and found it mild. Friendly service. The place is popular and was packed at 5:30 on Sunday. The parking lot was fairly full.

The food was good, don't know enough about great tasting Indian food. Nothing was to die for. Server was slow. we were there an extra hour, because of the service. Had a good time there, with company at our table. When busy, they need more of a sense of urgency . Not a bad place

I love Indian food + my friends have been raving about this place for years. I finally got to check it out with them + it is definitely worth the trip from Lansing! Our group of 4 ordered: Pakora + Chicken Momos (not pictured). Lamb Saag + Karahi Goat (front dishes, left to right). Bhindi (Okra) Masala + Vegetable Korma (back dishes, left to right). Onion Kulcha + Kashmiri Naan. Everything was delicious. My Lamb Saag was tender + creamy with the right amount of spice for the "hot" level that I selected. Made my friends sweat though! 😆 My friend who ordered the Bhindi Masala found the sauce to be more tomato-y than they prefer. It was yummy, though I think the sauce was a bit dry/tomato pasty instead of creamy + silky as the sauces in the other dishes we had. The highlights were the Karahi Goat + Kashmiri Naan! The goat was tender + sauce was bright + slightly smoky as if the meat + veggies had been grilled. This was my first time trying Kashmiri Naan. (I typically get Kheema Naan — lamb-stuffed naan; not on Cardamom's menu.) It was delightful! The sweetness of the chutney + the chewy-crunch of the nuts are a lovely counter-balance to the savory, spicier sauces that I like.

The food is the best Indian food I've had. This place is well staffed with friendly, knowledgeable people. I also loved the family-style dining so we could share. This place was humming, but it wasn't loud and had enough staff to take care of everyone.

Excellent (authentic per our Indian colleague) Indian food! I felt the deep, complex but well-balanced taste in all dishes! Steamed momos were good, which I think would be better if they were pan-fried. Mango Lassi was also excellent. With opening for dinner only, the place was overflowing, an attestment to good food, we can attest to also. Very attentive service and ambiance aa well.

Probably one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Ann Arbor. I go here with my family pretty often and the food is always amazing. All the waiters are so nice, I felt so bad last time we visited since we got there maybe 20-30 minutes before the kitchen closed, but everyone who worked there was so nice about it. The mattar paneer is to die for, I get it literally every single time I go. Super cute atmosphere too, and there usually isn't too much of a wait which is nice. The naan is also so delicious. And the amount of food is great, I almost always have a bit of leftovers for the next day which I love.

Tasty Indian cuisine. The curry chicken was full of flavors and predominantly tomato based. Do you tandoori chicken, was well seasoned put a bit over cooked and dry. The restaurant is rather crowded and dimly lit.
