“Insanely good lunch Buffett. A small selection of dishes unlike many other buffets, but all were fantastic.”

“"I had the absolute pleasure of savoring the most delicious Halal Indian food I've ever had! I highly recommend it to all spicy food enthusiasts - be sure to save room for a cup of their authentic Indian Chai after your meal. What truly stood out, aside from the mouthwatering cuisine, was the impeccable cleanliness of the establishment. Every aspect of the restaurant was spotless and perfectly maintained, making for a truly exceptional dining experience!"”

“Oh we are so happy we moved up closer to order from Little India :) Our family comfort happiness time is Indian food. From my own childhood and with my own kiddos now. All regions honestly, but when we find an awesome place with good folks- we are the most happy. Today after a long day of mishaps we needed comfort in the form of food. And we are not disappointed. Thank you Little India for a later dinner delivery for us, it was everything we needed and all the flavors were perfect. Thanks for keeping it on the mild/medium side for my kiddos and we can’t wait to return again. Also the delivery driver was wonderful. Really really happy to be able to live so close and enjoy & share in your amazing flavors, combos, spices, mixes and goodness.”

“Heads up: the lunch buffet no longer exists! Went there at a Saturday at 1PM and was told they were no longer offering the lunch buffet, which was disappointing as I lowkey went there specifically for the buffet. That being said, I stayed for lunch anyways and it was still a phenomenal experience. I got the Chef's Special which was like $13 and gets you everything pictured. The food was delicious, the naan was freshly made, the service was quick, and the waiter was super nice. All in all, would definitely recommend.”

“The food was amazing. I really loved the chicken biryani and the green sauce that came with it. After a long time I got this real tastr of indian biryani”
“Little India is so good! The staff is so nice and the food is amazing!”
“Loved the place, and I absolutely love the people! The service was great and me and my family had an amazing visit.”
“The food is delicious. Was ready well before the time for pickup! Good service will go back!”
“Tried it for the first time today. The wife and I split the chicken Madras, the parathah and a side of rice. Food came out in a timely manner and everything was hot and fresh! The decor is nice, but the lack of music was a bit off. Probably a bit better when it's busier so their more ambient noise, but we should up right after the lunch specials. Bibek was our waiter and he was very polite and professional. Definitely coming back with a larger group to try more food next time!”
“Great service and food. Chef’s special lunch is a must try”
“My experience with Little India's receptionist was outstanding - she was very professional and provided excellent customer service. I had placed an online order while at Montrose Beach and when I arrived to pick it up, she greeted me warmly and with a smile. As we were visiting from Cincinnati and it was our first time there, she generously offered us free rice, which was not part of our original order. The food was delicious, comparable to other Indian and Nepalese restaurants, and the prices were much more reasonable than those of other restaurants we dined at during our four-day trip to Chicago. Thank you for the kind hospitality and great food - my family and I appreciate it and look forward to eating here again when we return.”
