It's time for Dining Month, presented by Deer District and its spooky Halloween-themed alter ego, Fear District. Throughout the month of October, we'll be serving up fun and fascinating content about all things food. The signature dish, however, is our 2019 Best of Dining poll, who's winners we will dish out all month long. Get hungry, Milwaukee!

Cafe India

For the second year in a row, readers picked Cafe India – located in Walker's Point and Bay View – as their favorite spot for Indian / Pakistani food.

Opened in 2011 by Milwaukeean Rakesh Rehan, Cafe India features an incredible daily buffet and a menu that's both classic and innovative at both locations.

For a relaxing meal and authentic Indian dining experience, check out the restaurant in Bay View. But if you're in a hurry and want hot, healthy food on the go, the Walker's Point locale is your place. (Pro tip: try the butter chicken!)

3. Taste of India
4. Bollywood Grill
5. India Garden
