Little India recently opened months ago and has firmly established themselves the best Indian spot in Oxford. The food is so incredibly tasty and satisfying. The quality and quantity is both there and will have you satisfied. Their discounts and specials are great. The garlic naan and spice levels of all their dishes are so on par with everything you’d expect when ordering top notch Indian. The bar has been raised!

I am always highly satisfied with my food and experience. After graduation I will definitely miss this place. It is probably the best food that you can get in Oxford. I highly recommend the ginger chicken.

i’m a fan
Simply some of the best Indian food in the area. I wish the spiciness was more than what you get with a 6, but the food is delicious.
The chicken saag & garlic naan are ???

Just wonderful. The best Indian cuisine I've had, even in the older established restaurants in Cincinnati. One thing: they could use metal silverware rather than the plastic ones they serve. But why complain when the service and food was bar none

The food is impeccable. The music used to sometimes be a bit loud but recently it has been better. The staff are open to customization, which is great. You can, for example, order a dish that commonly does not have paneer cheese with paneer cheese. Those on a salt-restricted diet should be cautious with Indian food, especially from restaurants, because it does tend to be salty, as curries in particular only taste their best when there is quite a bit of salt. Everything is pretty salty but that is to be expected because restaurants want to maximize flavor to satisfy their customers.
The only dish I don't recommend is the saag because it is the standard restaurant-style saag that I think is from northern India. I don't like Krishna's saag either. I definitely prefer the southern India saag dishes. They generally have brighter green very finely puréed spinach and are not so heavy. They also use a different spice mix, lighter oil, and unfried paneer. I think they use mustard seeds and caraway in the southern type. Every other dish I have had here, though, I can strongly recommend.
Oxford is very fortunate to have such an excellent Indian restaurant. I have been to many of them in many places and this one is truly excellent. I particularly recommend the roti and garlic naan from the breads, the paneer chili, the ginger chicken, and — if you're feeling up to something very rich and heavy — the chicken makhani. You can even have paneer or vegetables added to that for more variety. Many Indian restaurants don't let you customize like that.
Vegetarian options: Paneer cheese offers protein and calcium, unlike many vegetarian options in other restaurants that offer low/no-protein foods like tomatoes, mushrooms, and black beans in place of meat.
Dietary restrictions: They are flexible about most things. However, if you are on a salt restriction Indian restaurant food is not a good choice.
Kid-friendliness: Friendly for any age.
Wheelchair accessibility: It looks accessible.

We've dined in twice. Once for lunch and once for dinner. Both were excellent. The naan is very good and I also enjoy the aloo naan. I always get mango lassi. The butter chicken and lamb saag are both delicious. I also enjoy the rice on its own. Happy to have a great place for Indian food so close!

Best Indian restaurant in town by far. Had several of the curries, Chicken Vindaloo is my favorite so far. Chicken is very juicy and sauce is delicious. Highest level spice is not as spicy as I'd like but that's no big deal. Naan pieces are huge and good. Mango Lassi is thick and tasty.

There was a bone in my food when I placed my first order at Little India. The food at the recently launched Indian restaurant was excellent, but for the bone. I therefore continued returning to the restaurant to eat. But when I paid with a $20 bill yesterday, I didn't get enough change back. I also discovered a staple in the Chicken Tikka Masala when I opened the container when I arrived home.
