" After visiting The Little India Restaurant last week, I can confidently say this is a gem among the Indian restaurants in Indianapolis. The flavors in their dishes are phenomenal! My favorite was the Paneer Tikka, which was grilled to perfection with a smoky flavor. We also enjoyed the Butter Chicken, which was creamy and rich. The ambiance was cozy, making it a great place for family gatherings. Our server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Though I wish the drink menu had more options, everything else was excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have never tasted Indian food quite like this before! The flavors were so vibrant and unique; every bite was just amazing. We ordered a variety of dishes and each one was fantastic. The service was attentive and friendly, enhancing our dining experience. This restaurant is a true hidden gem, and it's one I will be recommending to all my friends. Don’t miss out on The Little India Restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience with Indian cuisine, and I was blown away. The owner was so friendly and walked us through the menu, recommending the Butter Chicken, which was phenomenal! It was creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced. The naan was fresh and fluffy, and we paired it all with a mango lassi that was just the right amount of sweetness. The ambiance was comfortable, making it a great spot for a casual dinner. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Little India Restaurant provides a really nice dining atmosphere, with welcoming staff and an authentic vibe. I was happy with the Garlic Naan and Butter Chicken that I ordered. The naan was soft and the butter chicken was rich and delicious. My only regret was not trying more of their intriguing menu items. I will definitely return to explore their offerings further. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried The Little India Restaurant, and it was a mixed experience. While the ambiance was inviting, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations of authentic Indian cuisine. I tried the Gobi Manchurian, which was more crispy than I anticipated, and Tandoori Chicken that was slightly dry. The spice levels were mild for my taste, which was surprising given that I requested extra spice. However, I must commend the friendly service; the staff were attentive and eager to help with suggestions. Perhaps my next visit will yield a better experience with different dishes.

" 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!
