" I was excited to try Little India but unfortunately had a mixed experience. While the ambiance was nice and the staff were pleasant, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. The Butter Chicken I had was a bit on the bland side, and the naan was doughy rather than fluffy. Portion size was decent, but I was expecting more spice and flavor. I might give it another shot in the future because everyone else seemed to love their food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having recently moved to Salem, I took a trip to Little India, and I was impressed! The Chicken Tikka Masala was so satisfying; the flavors were spot on and made me feel nostalgic about my visits to Indian restaurants back home. However, the Naan they serve could use a bit more garlic, in my opinion. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I can see this becoming one of my favorite spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been meaning to visit Little India for a long time, and I finally did! I must say it was worth the wait! The flavors were rich and authentic. I ordered their Tikka Masala and it was perfectly spiced. There was a bit of a wait to place my order, but that’s to be expected with such popular food! The nice outdoor setup at Beehive Station makes dining even more enjoyable. I left with a full belly and a happy heart! Will come back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a unique experience at Little India on my visit last month. The Aloo Tikki I ordered was both crispy and bursting with flavor; however, the main course I had wasn’t as memorable. The Saag Paneer was quite average, lacking the depth of flavor I had hoped for. The atmosphere around the food cart is vibrant and communal, making it a fun place to dine. I would recommend coming for the starter but maybe choose a different main next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing experience! I wanted to treat my friends to a taste of Indian cuisine, and Little India did not disappoint. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the Butter Chicken Naan tacos, Tikka Masala, and garlic naan. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring no one left hungry! The staff was friendly and attentive, making the atmosphere feel welcoming. We are already planning another visit and can't recommend this place enough! " (*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*)
