If you want the full Indian experience, you need to come to little India. The food is very nice, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. 5 stars

Food was not too bad although we had to wait an hour to get it. Unfortunately they forgot 1 main and when it was delivered to table the waiter thought it a good idea to push in between 2 people and pass it over the table - dropping a spoon that hit my wife in the back of her head. Same waiter had to be told 3 times to stop leaning in over the table from behind me while I was eating. That particular waiter needs to go back to waiter school as it let down the entire experience.

I ordered a takeaway tonight and when I went to pick up the restaurant and all staff were busy. The man behind the counter didn’t even have the courtesy to acknowledge me and say I will be with you shortly and just continued to fill water jugs for patrons. After waiting for a few minutes a gentleman finally came from the kitchen and served me.
When I got home I opened my bag to find my lamb saag did not come with rice, was this missing or did I need to order that separately? If so I wasn’t told this when I ordered.
Anyway my lamb Saag had plenty of meat and was delicious.
My conclusion is your foods great but tonight your takeaway service was poor.

Thank Deepanshu for your excellent hospitality, and the vegetarian Thali I had for my lunch was most delicious set meal I ever had, great value, peaceful ambience, thoroughly enjoyed my time there, hope to have a chance to visit again ! Kia Ora

Food was average and overpriced for its taste which in my opinion is pretty bland compared to other indian restaurants in this city for value and flavour for money I’d go somewhere else. Service was friendly but awkward with our waiter. The restaurant wasn’t too busy for a saturday night but now I know why from quality of food.

Dined last night in a group of 6, food was excellent. Especially the Chicken Saag. Staff were all lovely and welcoming. The blonde-haired boy that was looking after our table was excellent and very professional. Very pleased with our visit.

We came here for a family meal and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. The food is amazing like always and the staff are so polite, friendly and are amazing at their job.
Will be coming back!!

Well, there are other good reviews but for us it was not a good experience at all.

We reserved our table online and we received the confirmation email for our reservation but when we arrived at Little India, they could not find our reservation!

We ordered starter and main dish with naan. They served the starter and forgot to serve the main with naan! We waited for 40 minutes and asked them twice to check our order. They said it was a 'misunderstanding '!

We are not from India, but they started speaking Indian language with us! They thought we are Indians, from our look. Very judgemental!

Food was okay. Nothing special to mention. You better go to Mumbaiwala for better taste and great professionalism. The ambience and decoration was poor. Toilets were good and cleaned.

One last thing! Please take the cardamom out of the dish before you serve it in front of customers! That's common sense! Poor service.
