" I visited Little India based on my friend's recommendation, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The Chicken Tikka was succulent with just the right amount of spices that weren't overwhelming but flavorful. The garlic naan paired beautifully with it. The atmosphere was bustling and friendly, providing a great backdrop for a casual dining experience. I will definitely be back for more! Truly a hidden gem in Salem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had lunch here and I was blown away! The Butter Chicken Tacos are as good as everyone says. Generous portions and incredibly flavorful. The garlic naan was light yet satisfying! Only downside was the quickness of the service; it felt a bit rushed, but I appreciate the enthusiasm. All in all, a great experience and I'm already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Little India was a delightful experience overall. I stumbled upon this food truck while exploring Beehive Station, and it became one of my favorite finds. I ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala, and it was simply to die for! Each bite was bursting with flavor and really did justice to what Indian food should taste like. The garlic naan was the perfect complement; it was soft, buttery, and warm. The service was also impressive; the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. I will definitely return to try more items, especially the lamb dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Little India has quickly become my go-to spot for Indian takeout. I always order the Butter Chicken, which is consistently good with just the right amount of spice. They even customize it to suit my taste. The garlic naan? A must-have! It’s airy and baked to perfection. My only reason for a four-star rating is the occasional wait time during peak hours. But with food this good, I can be patient. This place has earned my loyalty! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the pleasure of dining from Little India and it was an incredible experience. Being new to Indian food, I was a bit anxious about trying out their menu, but the staff was patient and guided me through their offerings. I settled on the Chicken Tikka Masala with a side of garlic naan, and my taste buds exploded with delight! The flavors were rich and inviting, far from the bland versions I've sometimes encountered elsewhere. The ambience of the food truck was vibrant and bustling, contributing to the overall positive vibe. I'm definitely a fan and will be coming back to explore their vegetarian options next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I hadn't had Indian food in a while and decided to give Little India a shot. I ordered the Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. While it was decent, I felt it lacked the robust flavor I'd had in previous experiences at other places. The portion size was generous, but I was hoping for a bit more spice in the mix. Friendly service though, and the welcoming ambiance made the visit enjoyable. I'd like to give it another chance—we all have off days! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to countless Indian restaurants, but Little India stands out as a true gem in Salem. The Butter Chicken Naan tacos? Simply phenomenal! They are perfectly spiced and generously filled. The freshness of the ingredients is palpable, and I feel like I'm getting an authentic taste of India each time I visit. Plus, the welcoming atmosphere makes me want to spend more time. Service is always quick and friendly; they seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. Highly recommend visiting during lunch hours to snag those tacos! Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
