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.
