" We had a wonderful family dinner here last week! The Little India Restaurant has an inviting atmosphere filled with beautiful decor. Our server was incredibly helpful, recommending dishes based on our preferences. We decided on the Chicken Biryani, Paneer Tikka, and Butter Chicken, and everything was delicious. The biryani was aromatic and flavorful, while the paneer was spicy and grilled perfectly. The waiter even brought out complimentary dessert, which we greatly appreciated! Overall, it was a great experience, and we’ll be back soon. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried The Little India Restaurant a week ago and was pleasantly surprised! The food was authentic and deliciously spiced. The Samosas were crispy and flavorful as an appetizer, while I enjoyed the Lamb Vindaloo. Each dish seemed to be made with fresh ingredients and genuine care. The service was fantastic; our server was prompt and made sure we had everything we needed. I will be returning again soon to try different options from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Little India Restaurant had decent food, but something was missing for me. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, and while it was flavorful, it felt a bit too sweet and not spicy enough for my expectations. The staff was very attentive, and I appreciated that, but the food could have been more authentic according to my standards. The atmosphere was busy but welcoming. I might come back, but I'm hesitant. " (*Curated Review*)

" This little restaurant exceeded my expectations! I was looking for authentic Indian food, and I certainly found it here. I ordered the Garlic Naan and Chicken Curry, both of which were simply superb! Each bite was bursting with flavor; it's clear they use quality ingredients. The staff was warm and welcoming. I noticed they were also willing to tailor the spice levels for those who needed it. If you enjoy Indian cuisine, do not miss The Little India Restaurant. I will absolutely return!

The garlic naan was a highlight too—soft and warm. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and we both left happy and satisfied. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Indian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon The Little India Restaurant while exploring Indianapolis and decided to give it a try due to its enticing menu. The Butter Chicken was excellent—creamy and flavorful. I also enjoyed the veggie samosas as an appetizer. They were crispy and delicious. The service staff were friendly and attentive, making my first visit pleasant. The place does seem a bit small and cozy, but it adds to the charm. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an incredible meal at The Little India Restaurant! The Butter Chicken was probably one of the best I’ve ever tasted, so creamy and perfectly spiced. Paired it with garlic naan which was delicious and fresh out of the oven. The servers were fabulous too, very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone craving Indian food!
