Discerning locals who affectionately refer to their favorite eatery as "All India" have been loyal customers for decades because of the Khinda's impeccable service and authentic, consistently delicious cuisine.
The award-winning menu primarily draws inspiration and tradition from Northern India while infusing a bit of Southern India's flavor & flare. The entire menu is made fresh in the restaurants for authentic Indian flavors that are nutritious and comforting without being too heavy. We are proud to offer an array of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options to suit many dietary needs.

Husband and wife Santokh Singh Khinda and Parminder K. Khinda opened All India Cafe in Pasadena in 1996 to create an inviting, healthy, and fresh Indian dining experience that shows their genuine dedication to each and every guest. Now with their brother, Amritpal Singh, and their daughter, Pawandeep Khinda, and son, Harsimran Khinda, they have opened two additional locations in Glendale (2018) and Arcadia (2025).
