What a charming restaurant that we would not have noticed from the location, but once inside we were not disappointed with the food, service or the the decor. We would highly recommend this place to all and it will be one of our favorites for future eatings.

We got take out from here and the food was delicious! We got a fish curry that was perfectly cooked. We got 2 other vegetarian dishes that were excellent - must try the kofta. Homemade bread selection was great! Overall, very pleased with our choice! Thank you!!

The Little Goan Indian restaurant is excellent!
Most delicious Indian food I have ever had, anywhere in the world, including in India. Fresh, gorgeous tastes, organic and natural ingredients, cooked to specific requests re spiciness. The service is excellent, and the food comes quickly.
The saag is not overcooked, which many places can’t seem to accomplish. The speciality curry with coconut milk — oh yummm. We ordered the “breadbasket” even tho there...
