For those who prefer to eat their Indian food in the comfort of their own home, both restaurants do a bustling take-out business. Everyday Comparing these restaurants was a gluttonous but inconclusive job.
Some dishes vary slightly, if at all.
The chicken curry at India Star is more tender and textured. The lamb vindaloo at India Caf is a little less oily. And the chicken tikka from each restaurant is almost identical.
