" Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted warmly, setting a positive tone for my dining experience. However, the food left me wishing for more. The Chicken Biryani I ordered was not flavorful enough, lacking the complexity I expected from authentic Indian cuisine. The staff was courteous, but they seemed busy, resulting in slow service. On the whole, while the atmosphere was pleasant, I'd suggest they step up their cooking to better reflect the rich heritage of Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried many Indian restaurants, and I can confidently say that Taste of Little India stands out. The Chicken Korma is nothing short of heavenly—a rich, flavorful dish that you can’t resist. The service was prompt and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. I could tell that the chefs were passionate about their food and aimed to provide a great experience. The price point was fair considering the quality and portion size. I will definitely return to taste more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great dinner at Taste of Little India. Started with samosas which were crispy and delicious! The Chicken Tikka Masala was good, though I personally found it less spicy than expected, despite ordering medium. The ambiance was lovely, but I found the waitstaff a little inattentive at times. Despite these hiccups, I would come back as the flavors are quite unique. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves visiting Taste of Little India. The variety of dishes available is impressive, especially their vegetarian options which cater well to our dietary preferences. We've tried several items, like the Saag Paneer and Garlic Naan, which never disappoint. The only downside was that sometimes the food can be on the spicier side, which might not be for everyone. However, the servers are always willing to adjust the spice level, making it a little easier to enjoy. The price is reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend to anyone craving excellent Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I gave Taste of Little India a try because I heard good things, but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. The flavors were milder than I'd like, especially in a restaurant known for Indian cuisine. While my Chicken Tikka Masala was decent, it could have used more spice and depth. The service was alright but not outstanding. Thankfully, the atmosphere was cozy, which made up for some of the food drawbacks. I might return to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful time dining at Taste of Little India. The staff was incredibly attentive, and they made sure we had everything we needed. The Butter Chicken is a must-try, perfectly spiced! While the atmosphere was bustling, it added a lively feel to the meal. The portions also felt satisfying, leaving me without any need to order extra. Each visit brings something new, and I look forward to my next meal! " (*Curated Review*)
