This is actually my second time writing a restaurant review after a very long time, and New Little India truly deserves it.

I came here after a recommendation from ZAF at Shad Desi Cuisine. He told me that this location was much closer to where I live and that I’d still get the same authentic taste. I decided to give it a try, and wow… he was absolutely right!

The food was incredible. Every bite was packed with authentic...

Been a semi-regular customer since 2016. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants over the years, but I ALWAYS come back to Little India. Large portions, diverse menu, authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and wonderful staff & service. Their weekend lunch buffet is a must-try for anyone wanting to get a taste of the menu without breaking the bank.

Special thanks to Zaf, who’s always happy to help me and my girlfriend every time we dine in....

Zaf was so friendly, and so is the whole staff!! Every time I come here it’s such a good experience. I love bringing family for lunch/dinner, and any time someone is in town we come here.
