Desi Adda Kafe is a small, cozy café in Arlington serving South Asian–inspired comfort food in a relaxed and welcoming space.
Inspired by the idea of an adda — a neighborhood hangout back home where people gather for chai and quick bites — the café was created by an immigrant owner who missed that simple sense of connection. Located near the University of Texas at Arlington and just minutes from Six Flags, Desi Adda Kafe is designed for students, locals, and visitors looking for something flavorful, affordable, and easy.
Our food reflects the broader Desi community, with flavors familiar to Pakistani, Nepali, Bangladeshi, and Indian cultures, while remaining approachable for first-time guests. We proudly use halal-certified meat from Crescent brand.
Small in size, big on comfort — this is your neighborhood adda.

Best chai in texas 5/5Posted on Dibakar RoyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Served us excessively salted food (Dum Biryani). Could not finish the whole meal.Posted on Sharbani DattaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Horrible experience. They served us an excessively salty chicken biriyani. It's hard to believe that a restaurant can sell something so bad as this! It's unethical. Don’t go there.Posted on Roseny SanonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ate my food to fast no pictures sorry😅. This food was delicious! Very authentic spice level my bf left sweating! We ordered the chili chicken with rice (great spice level) and paneer tika masala, both very delicious.Posted on Furqan NaveedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tea here is the best in town. 1$ tea and it hits you like an energy drink!Posted on Pet PeeveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ordered tea here and they didn’t even provide a sleeve or stopper. The tea was extremely hot and ended up burning my hand. It’s really disappointing that they don’t meet even the most basic safety standards. The place itself isn’t clean, the food is overly oily, and the restroom was in terrible condition. Overall, this was a very bad experience — I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.Posted on Omkar Sai Chandra VelagaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worst biryani I ever had
