★★★★★ 5.0 N F · Dec 2025

We were just passing through State College and read that this little hidden gem had the best Indian/Pakistan food in area. Parking was a nightmare but once we got into the restaurant we were greeted warmly The food was absolutely amazing! The best I have eaten in a long time! I had the lamb kabob bowl (I requested not spicy) it was prepared exactly to my liking, My husband had the chicken changa and he said it was excellent also. I highly recommend this restaurant if you have a craving for fresh never frozen Indian food

As always, the food was great and vibes were immaculate. The owner is very thoughtful and you can tell by this that a lot of passion goes into the food. It’s food, vibes and late night open hours make this a perfect place for students

A Wonderful Taste of Home! The staff at Cafe Alina are incredibly friendly and always make you feel welcome. The food is consistently delicious and high-quality, and the prices are very reasonable. For us, it's the only place in State College where we can get a true taste of home—the Indian dishes are wonderfully authentic and taste just like they were made back home. We are so grateful to have this gem in town. Highly recommended!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Maryam Nasir Ahmad · Aug 2025

Good quality food that tasted like home cooked. We had Biryani, Butter Paneer, Naan and Chai. Everything tasted delicious. The only shortcoming we found was the smell. The table was cleaned with the most stinkiest rag that I was about to puke 🤢🤢🤢 We had to change our table. Bathroom was smelly, too.
