My partner and I decided to order food after work today, she got the kabob bowl and I had gotten the butter chicken. Her bowl was huge and packed with food and flavor! My butter chicken was exactly 1 cup, served in a deep bowl, flavorless and topped with grease. My partners bowl was stuffed full for 14$ While we paid 16$ for 1 cup grease with some chicken chunks in it. I highly recommend not dining out with this restaurant, absolutely horrible experience.

A lovely experience with great food, fantastic staff, and in a cozy setting. Their wall menu isn't up to date so look at their online menu. Wi-Fi is available as well.

Incredible Pakistani cuisine! No exaggeration it is the best I have ever had! You have to get the chai tea! I didn't know chai could be that good! Everything we ordered was incredible. We had to get more samosas we couldn't stop eating. I don't write many reviews but this place is exceptional and affordable and such a find. Seriously I will never forget that chai!

Cafe Alina has outstanding food and service. The owners are so thoughtful about there food and presentation. If I can choose just one restaurant in state college while you’re visiting, go here!

Don't expect much. Food was served cold as it was prepered and cooked hours ago. Price dose not reflect the quality

Amazing food, appropriate pricing, awesome sheesha, and impeccable service. I love the Chickpea bowl and veg pakoras there. The arrangement made under the sky is safe, socially distanced and beautifully placed. A must visit if you like Indian/Pakistani cuisine and good vibes.

The only place in State College where you can get good biriyani. They have nice veg and non-veg bowls as well.

The service is great and the place is very cozy. The food is delicious. All my Indian friends love their food, and me, as a latina, also love their food. I have been going there to have food/drinks the past two years since I arrived to State College and hands down they serve some of the most delicious food here

Service was friendly and prompt. My granddaughter had asked for one item but was dissuaded from her choice. After eating what she would, 2/3 of her meal was taken and thrown out. My chicken was dry. The mint lemonade and Samosa were a surprise and enjoyable. If you like a lot of rice, this is for you
