Paradise Café

The overall experience at Paradise cafe was ok. The food was confusing. They have added a lot of things in menu which is not authentic but their effort to make it fusion is also not successful. The cafe is small, okayish ambience . We have ordered masala nachos, Hydrabadi biryani, pani puri, mango mastani drink and pomegranate soda . The only things which is good is biryani and it was very delicious. The quantity of biryani is less for $15 . The nachos were average. There was curd in nachos which doesn’t go with that. Pani puri was ok too. They gave gravy chhole with puri which is again doesn’t taste good. Mango mastani and other drink is also ok. Not recommended.

The set up and decor is 10/10. The music however was 80's American music which killed the vibe of the place. I requested the change in music and it was changed, however to maintain the right ambiance of the place it makes more sense to have a rule to play appropriate music. The food and drink options are great however not everything on the menu was available. The server failed to mention availability until we tried to place the order. The food tea was served cold and replaced after asked. We ordered the Paradise platter and the Birds of Paradise (spread) all the items were good except for the chicken tenders that were served burned. Over all okay but can definitely be better with some quality control.

I went for a ladies’ day out luncheon at this restaurant that we found online. Walked in… we were so impressed with the atmosphere. We each purchased the High Chai Time sampler for $25! It was so much fun, trying all the different varieties of appetizers, sandwiches, and desserts all for one price. Our server, Shanni, was absolutely amazing and even took pictures with us. He was very attentive and taught us about all the things that were on the sampler. We highly recommend this spot for lunchtime.

Wow, wow, and wow!!! My boyfriend who is South Asian wanted to try this place when he noticed it on Instagram, we took the first opportunity we had on a weekend off to head down to Dearborn to give it try. When you enter, it’s like walking into another world. Such beautiful colors surround you from floor to ceiling, and the food is just so brilliant! We had the butter chicken samosas, shrimp tacos, potato dosa, crispy chicken sliders, and garlic naan. All incredible! VR was the sweetest, she had a very nice calm about her and we really enjoyed our time there with her! Will definitely return again! A favorite already!

5/5 Thanks to IG, decided to try Paradise Cafe because the High Chai Tower that I saw in Reels seemed intriguing. It ended up having an impressive variety of savory and sweet snacks that had us Thanksgiving full at the end. All the chicken options were tender and we also enjoyed Lamb Keema Samosas. There was no need for us to take advantage of the All-You-Can-Eat as one tower had more than enough food. If only I had the room to try more because the entire menu is filled with incredible options. Luckily for us, we got to the restaurant before 6 pm and beat the dinner rush. As the evening progressed, there was a single server who was taking care of a full house and that isn't the way to do it. Nothing against the server because he was extremely personable, but he got so busy to the point where we didn't bother asking for more water because we would've felt bad doing so. The sugar that's supposed to come with the chai was missing as well. Please hire more staff so your main server can get relief and guests can be fully taken care of! Giving 5 stars since the food was amazing and the server was a hustler.

The cafe is cute and food is amazing. The server I think her name was VR was so nice and did an excellent service for us. It's not the first time I go to this cafe and it's not gonna be the last. Highly recommend loaded fries and Masala chai

We did the high chai which includes all you can eat pani puri, chutnies, chicken, sandwiches, and three different desserts. Our server Shanu was excellent and very attentive, explaining what everything was. Highly recommend this place! Music was great, my fiancé commented several times on how much he liked the songs. We will definitely be back.

My friend and I ordered the loaded butter chicken fries, butter chicken pizza and a few of the drinks. I ordered a mango Lassi which was very tasty. It was not cold though which I thought a yogurt drink should be. The food was flavorful and the portions were large especially the fries. They were out of several key things though like the milk tea to make many of the drinks so were didn't get what we had planned on ordering. I'd like to go back and try the high tea but I'll call ahead to verify it's available.

I was too geeked to come here! I saw this place on IG and saved it in my visit soon folder so when this came up I jumped all over it. So, when I arrived I was thrilled at the decor and just the amazing aromas that hits you as soon as you come in the door. We could choose where to sit, so I found myself sitting towards the back on the wall. As others came in, the seats started to fill up and the room began to feel lively. Alina was a great host and dope for the idea to have High Tea and invite us Yelpies into the experience. Once the food came out, I got excited as our table was the first to attack. The food was absolutely delicious....ALTHOUGH I feel like the panipuri had it out for me. It definitely gave you a kick in the back of your throat ... a good kick but nevertheless a kick lol. Made my eyes water just a tad. The butter chicken sliders....yea it got me too. I didn't realize I had a whole pepper in mine and bit into it and my mouth was suddenly on fire...lips and all. I stay warm for a least 15min. I'm not mad at it though. The slider was delicious. The mango lassi....ummm hmmm super tasty and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try other foods on the menu. It was a great experience and amazing food.

The concept of this place is great. The decor and the whole vibe is very instagram esthetics. However as an Indian I was very disappointed with the food. They seem to cater more for individual that have no idea what Indian food is or I can say combining two cuisines together. During the time we went there was only one server and he was very friendly. We ordered: Chicken puff: 8/10 Pav vada: 4/10 (too spicy and to many extra sauces) Mango lassi 10/10 Butter chicken rice bowl 1/10 to many sauces (no concept) I wanted to try them out and I'm happy I did but this was more of a one time go to, I won't be going back. Parking is available

Overall enjoyed my visit to the Trucks Park (hosted by MedEx and Paradise). My party unintentionally end up ordering just from the Paradise menu. Items we ordered: - pani puri: overall very fresh and tasty, my only recommendation would be to make the flavored pani/water less thick like it's intended to be - veggie samosas: do not recommend ordering, very dry and the mint chutney was mid - loaded fries (with chicken): HIGHLY recommend, amazing!! - kati tacos with crispy chicken: flavors were good, but I expected the chicken to be a little crispier -- strong flavors for the perfect twist - chicken sliders: also flavorful, definitely worth trying - Kashmiri chai: just needs a hint of extra sugar, but great otherwise Service was good, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The decor itself it worth checking out. The entire menu is Halal!!! Overall rating 4 out of 5. The reason for this is because a "High Chai Time" is advertised from 5-7 pm. We arrived with plenty of time before 7 pm and they didn't honor it. Would love to try this High Chai Time next time I'm in town if they have the option.

Friends and I made it out on a 10 degree day in January. This was the perfect place to go when it was freezing out. The restaurant is beautifully and brightly decorated, inspired by food trucks (which explains the name!) of the area. We were greeted right away. We ordered a pot of chai that was recommended to us, brought out on a brightly colored tray and pot. It was hot and milky, drank out of small glasses. I think Indian food is a shared meal, we ordered several dishes to share. We started with the lamb samosas, crispy outside, flavorful meat inside. Next the loaded fries, this was a fun take on the loaded fries. Then large plates of their Gobi dum Biryari and the "rice bowl" with the tandoori chicken. Lots of flavorful spices, the cauliflower had a bit of a kick, the rest was mild (unless you ask for a higher spice level). I do not think it was the best Indian food I've had in Metro Detroit, but very enjoyable and paired with the vibrant decor, was a great experience. Someone else mentioned poor service, we did not have any issues. At the end, someone came to other table to see how our experience was. They are newer, and worth a visit.

Absolutely beautiful south-asian and middle eastern fusion restaurant. The decor itself should elicit a visit- it's that stunning. The details from the mini chai cups to water being served from clay jugs were such a nice touch to an already eclectic space. I went with a friend and ordered the high chai for 2. The spread did not disappoint, we were happy with the assortment of lamb samosas, butter chicken sliders, pani puri (with delicious curry chole), and assortment of desi style biscuits for our masala chai. We also had ras malai to finish it all off. For $30, you cannot beat the assortment of items. What blew our experience out of the water was the exceptional customer service. Mustafa was beyond attentive and answered every single question we threw at him. Additionally, he went above and beyond to cater to our special requests. I will definitely be returning!

Cute spot, we had dessert and chai. The desserts were tasty. The presentation of everything was nice. They were short staff but yet very hospitable and attentive . Will be visiting again to try some of the other suggested menu items

First South Asian style high tea cafe serving authentic high tea items and fusion food

South Asian high tea cafe located in Dearborn. They serve a fusion of Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. I had the chance to try their chai, some pastries, as well as small plates including butter chicken sliders. The food was very tasty! While it is not very authentic, their dishes offer a more modern and casual take on many traditional dishes. Service was very friendly and accommodating.

Had high tea here and what an experience. Very quaint and cozy place. The inside of Paradise Cafe will take you on a flavor trip. They do an Indian fushion high tea that is wonderful. Food was delicious and plentiful. We tried samosas, loaded fries and pani puri to name a few. This is a great way to experience some delicious food and tea. The service was great with a good explanation of all the different bites.

I am so serious when I say the butter chicken pizza is basically a 711 pizza with "butter chicken" on it. the dough and the cheese says it all. the butter chicken here is not butter chicken. idk what it is but it's not butter chicken, maybe like 40% butter chicken. look sometimes mediocre pizza hits, but not when it's $16 lol. almost all the food we ordered was mediocre and the prices definitely do not correlate but the loaded fries was good more importantly the chai was terrible. respectfully... just straight up booty i'm sorry not sorry. I want to know what went wrong here. masala chai and kashmiri is what we got and neither a pot was finished. masala one was flavored water and kashmiri one was slightly salty milk. unfortunately no amount of sugar saved these. I gave this a two stars for the ambiance. the vibes are nice. sadly food was not. it's 2024 and i'm trying to be more of an honest man. and honestly yall need many improvements in the food department. I don't even be reviewing restaurants but look what u made me do :(

I love that there's a South Asian cafe in the area to cater to the large community here. I do think this leans a little heavier for being more about the food than the drinks, so I would recommend coming here for dinner rather than a place to hang out and get coffee or tea after. The main differentiator is definitely the interior aesthetic, with the ceiling lined in Desi-style umbrellas and each wall reflecting art from South Asia or the Middle East. While there's a decent amount of space here, I would recommend trying to go with a party of 4 or less, as it can get pretty tight at the tables with more. We ordered the butter chicken pizza to split, and I got the crispy chicken sliders and the Mocha latte for myself. The sliders were great, and the latte was really flavorful, although it was smaller than I would have liked. I thought the pizza was okay, and could have used a little more flavor. All in all, this is a really cool place to bring friends and enjoy the atmosphere.

Random chose this place. Just got in to town and I haven't eating all day and I'm looking at the clock and it's 11pm! I order online and get them in time and I can't believe how good this food is! I wish I lived closer!! Got to give this place a try Friends!!

Absolutely amazing experience! Our waiter, Mustafa, knew the menu like the back of his hand and explained what certain items on the menu were to us that we did not know. We felt like we ordered only a few things off the menu but the quantity of food you get with each order was so abundant! Didn't know it would take over our whole table. And everything was so yummy! Definitely recommend stopping here if you're ever in the area. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be stopping by and bringing my family with me. 10/10 experience!

The environment of this little cafe is so cool. It felt very authentic. The masala tea was very pleasant and served hot. We had the butter chicken loaded fries, and they were quite yummy. The service could have been a little quicker, but they were very busy when we visited. Overall, it was a great experience and we can't wait to go back to try new dishes.

Would give them no stars if yelp allowed that! Had to wait 1 hour to get seated, then another half an hour for someone to come take our order. Waited another 45 minutes for our order to arrive. Only had the desserts served. Our tea never arrived. We ended up paying the bill and left the place without having our full order served. They were extremely understaffed. The few things they served us tasted very average, were expensive and portions were very small. Overall, a very underwhelming experience.

Slick marketing but disappointing food. If you want instagram pics, this place is for you. If you want good food, steer clear. 1. Cool vibes. Casual fun place. 2. From the social media marketing we were under the impression that this is a buffet but it's not. High tea in Karachi is usually a buffet. 3. Great service. 4. Food came out cold (i.e. could tell was not made fresh) and was bland. 5. Menu is uninspired. I am sorry but putting butter chicken and mayo on fries is overdone and just lazy at this point. 6. The biryani was good, consistent with what you would expect from paradise. 7. The chicken over rice entree was terrible. No flavor. 8. The whole place is confusing... high tea but there is no tea on the menu (it is available but just not listed anywhere). What is this place called? Paradise biryani? Mediterranean Express? Trucks park?

I just recently went to this cafe, I thought the decorations were cool but sitting on a bench with turf(fake grass) was very uncomfortable, my legs started to hurt. The food took a while to come out and the quality of the food was terrible. My mom ordered a chai tea and it took 30 minutes to come out and it was the smallest cup ever. I ordered loaded fries with chicken and spotted 3 strands of hairs in my food. I also seen a little insect where my feet were at and had to change seats. It took almost 45-50 minutes for my whole family to finally get their food on a non busy night. Also how the food tasted, it just tasted disgusting. They flooded my loaded fries with a nasty tasting sauce and had like 3 pieces of chicken on the whole plate which was not enough. The burgers were small. The waitress took forever to get us our bill and carry on with our day which is unacceptable from a running business. the total for 7 of us to eat was 160$ for low quality food which is really just wasted money. and the food and overall restaurant quality was terrible. I rate this a 1-10 restaurant and a 1 star out of 5 on yelp reviews.

We dined here this afternoon on the coldest day so far in 2024! It was such a delight to feel warmed up by the colorful ambiance, the delicious tea, and the yummy food. My favorite was the cauliflower biryani and the lamb samosa. Someone was celebrating their 40th birthday and the vibes inside were contagious all around of joy and warmth. The service was very attentive and an employee shared with us a little bit about the intentional choices they made in their decor. I would return and encourage others to try this place out. How you could leave here without a smile would befuddle me!
