Little India Restaurant in Toronto

Impeccable service, delicious food!

Butter chicken caused severe food poisoning (salmonella) where I was vomiting for a full day and had to go to the ER

We went for a team lunch there.. They didnt have much options on the buffet.. starters were dry.. overall not a good experience!!

I recently ordered a meal through Uber Eats, and the experience was really upsetting. Right after eating, both my friend and I started feeling unwell, and it was clear something wasn t right with the food. The next day, I woke up with terrible stomach pain and felt really sick THE WHOLE DAY! which made everything worse. It s so disappointing to go through something like this, especially when you trust the food to be safe and fresh.

Amazing food and customer service ! What a gem in downtown !

Indian cuisine. Quantity is good. The taste is average. Vegetarian options: Dal Makhni is average, Paneer tikka is good Food : 3/5 |

Amazing hospitality and food is really good

Great service, great food, and good atmosphere. The waiters were professional and friendly. The wait times are not bad at all and the food was great as well. Highly recommended, out of all the Indian places Ive tried so far.

My fave Indian restaurant. Chicken Vindaloo and Tika Massala are AWESOME

Great service, and amazing portion sizes to share between 2 people. The butter chicken is unnecessarily too sweet, but the garlic naan was perfect

Booked the place for lunch, for a group of 25 people. The food was amazing and service was good.

We had the share plate for two. We ate everything! It was delicious. Service was also friendly. We will be back!

We ordered 2 veg & 2 meat dishes, with rice & Nan bread. Delicious. Excellent service.

My favorite place to get vindaloo. Tasty with perfect level of spicy.

Great food!

Food was great but the quarantine is not as per price.

My go to place when in Toronto. No upselling. Food always on point. A little cramped but service always excellent.

They have changed the flavour to suit local palates. Butter chicken was so sweet that it might as well be served as a dessert. It s sweeter than my mango lassi. The waitress offered to spice it up for me, but that didn t cut down on the sweetness, so now it s sweet and spicy. Huge disappointment.

Completely rip off.

Today ,we ordered breakfast and wanted to dine in but they didn t let us dine in there . Staff should respect their customers

Good service and good food

I have been going to this restaurant for over 8 years, I absolutely love it! The quality is incredible, the flavours are outstanding, the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! Could not recommend more! Absolutely love this spot, so happy I stumbled upon it all those years ago!

We ordered lamb Rogan josh today through ubereats and we were shocked how little lamb meat was in it. Any small quantity like that is not worth coming back here again!! Stealing our money!!!

The server Majurie was extremely polite and sweet. She helped us with all our questions and ensured that we were served well. An asset whichever team she joins.

Had dinner here yesterday. The food was amazing and I loved the madras chicken along with garlic naan. Thanks for the Great Service.

Don t be rude with your customers.

I love their palak paneer, but after my recent visit, I will not be returning. The service was unacceptable-the server was extremely rude, a worst experience. Its disappointing when customer service is this poor, and I cant see myself coming back.

Food was absolutely terrible. Very bland and tasted like it had been cooked few days back. Service was below par (told the waiter to get me salt and pepper), got me a shaker with salt stuck to the bottom.

Very bad attitude and behaviour towards delivery drivers. Makes us wait. Belittling someone is never accepted.

Great service . it was a wonderful dinner . I would love to visit again

The food here is absolutely amazing and incredible, but even better is the ambience and service!! I ve been here a few times and Thanesh gives the most incredible service everytime!! He s the best! Mohammed also gave great service as well Thank you guys and definitely looking forward to coming back, my favourite Indian restaurant in Toronto for sure

I recently had a dine in experience here which was fabulous will be visiting soon

The food here is toooo good.

Fabulous food. Thank you so much.

this was the BEST indian food i ve ever had in my life. the naan was life changing. the chicken was life changing. i felt super comfortable afterwards. will come again definitely.

I just wanted to say that the service over there was really bad I just want to cite a experience I had from there I ordered a south Indian cuisine the food I received was cold and wet and I complained about the food to the server and they were not even try to apologize they were correcting their side and making fun of me that really hurts I never had such an experience through out in my life so I really regret about going there and made my friends to come over there . I just forced my friends to come over there by seeing the reviews then I understood the reviews first make any sense. As collating with what I faced on that day I hope even after seeing this post they will try improve their quality of service towards customers .

From the first time eating here Little India has become a trusted staple for my partner and myself if we want Indian food. The service is pleasant, fast, and timely. Ive ordered a lot of dishes from the menu over the few years of dining in and ordering out from here and theyre always constant in taste and portion size! If youre thinking about trying this place out you wont be disappointed! Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options they offer are plenty and diverse! My personal favorite is the Mattar paneer. You wont be disappointed having any of the vegetarian options!

Food is subpar. Too much artificial coloring and very oily. Roti not fresh.

NO buffet even though it is advertised. Beware. The combo plate is served on a prison style divided metal tray. Gross. Even though I asked for non spicy dishes, they were mostly very spicy. The desert served with the combo is a joke: one ball of something. Idiotic. I liked the naan bread. Very strange experience. The service was OK, but not very attentive. D-

Great service, great people, great vibes and most of all amazing food

I had an exceptional dining experience at Little India restaurant! Thanesh and Majuri provided outstanding service, making the evening truly memorable. The food was genuinely authentic, capturing the essence of traditional flavors, and the portion sizes were incredibly generous. Every dish was a delight, reflecting true culinary expertise. I highly recommend

If you are from India, not the indian delicacies you looking for, the restaurant exists as back in the day there were not many options in the area, but now if you want authentic Indian, there are many more on queen west. Personally I didnt like there butter chicken, and tandoor items, butter chicken was very sweet and naan bread was very thick, you could feel bunch of maida chewing them.

Cute little Indian restaurant run by Sri Lankans. Top-notch food and decent fast service. The rasmalai dessert is a must-have.

Edit: 8 years later, and Ive yet to find a butter chicken as good as this spot. If I get it to go, I need to make sure every corner of the container is clear of sauce. Its that good. 10/10 Amazing food! Get the meat combo for two, the value is amazing! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back. Greatest butter chicken Ive ever tasted.

Just delicious, perfectly spiced, fresh and tasty. Vegetarian options: Vegetable Korma, tasty! Lots of other veg dishes to choose from, great breads too Food : 5/5 |

I was trying to go to a place that had a 4.8 review or higher but this place was close to the airbnb we were staying at. This place is phenomenal, this should be a 5 star restaurant. Service was great and the food was stellar. Please give this place a shot. The butter chicken was unique in a good way, please try this place.

Love the foods here !!! So DELICIOUS !!! And all the people who are working here are nice and friendly :) definitely will come back Food

Good service

Enjoyed my vegetarian platter. Fresh baked bread was perfect.

Super good, I recommend!!!

I 100% recommend this restaurant!! The waitress was great, very friendly, always smiling. And the food was simply amazing. We took the formula for two people and the quantity was more than satisfactory. Very good value for money. Everything was perfect!

Long wait

Racist and rude customer service, especially the old lady waitress. The food serving interval was so long I had to start eating first while my company was waiting for their dish to be served. Even if it might take some time, they shouldve served it at the same time or asked us if the customer would mind the intervals. Thats basic serving knowledge. The main dish was too sweet.

The award for the best shahi paneer in the city goes to Little India. The service is really good too and the prices are economical, will definitely come back for more.

Food was great. But the south indian good was worst. The customer service was horrible. When we commented about the food they were so rude. The waiter with fake accent kept looking at us and shouting about our comments. Customer service was horrible. I really hate going here. I would not recommend (until u want to put up with their attitude)

I have been ordering takeout from this restaurant for a very long time and I love their butter chicken dish but what makes me sad is even though every time their price goes up the portion of the dishes decreases to the point I was shocked when I received my order. It is almost half of what it used to be. I understand the high price of food for the restaurant but COME ON. This is not Okie.

Waow, waow, jus waow. We had Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, butter nan, chicken biryani, etc. Totally fab , And Jaya Mam managed so perfectly even in outage today, Surely visit next time .

Vegetarian options: Tandoori Paneer Tikka Food

Vegetarian options: The veggie biryani was amazing! Spicy and flavorful. Im very happy I wandered in. Food

I ate here with my family and we ordered the lamb saag with rice and butter chicken with garlic naan as well as the mango salad. The servers were very kind to my family and I and catered to all our needs. The food and presentation was done very well. Thank you for your kind service and delicious food and hope to see you again soon.

The vegetarian food was delicious and the server was very friendly. However, the chair I sat on was a bit dirty, which was disappointing.

Parking: No parking Food

The food was average! For the palak paneer curry, the paneer was separately added on the top of the gravy. We ordered two lunch veggie combos. Earlier when we ordered the 1st combo, we weren t asked about our choices for the curry and appetizers from the available options. But when we ordered the second combo with a different server, she sweetly asked us about which curry we would like from the options!! Also one thing that deeply affected us was that Inspite of us being Indians visiting an Indian restaurant, we faced racism. As soon my friend and I entered the restaurant, a non Indian couple came at the same time and they ordered two lunch combos and the server sweetly took their order but when he came to us for the order and we ordered the lunch combos, he said Our lunch combos are available till 3:00pm only but since I accepted the other(Non- Indian) couple s order, I am going to accepts yours too! I mean why did you take their order on the first place? And if you did, why didn t you tell them that our lunch time is over? So he make me feel that, just because he already took order of other couple so now he will accept our order too. Like what, they placed the order at 3:28pm and we placed the order that 3:33pm.

The food and service was excellent. Wonderful restaurant. If you like Indian food, This place is for you. Very small, worth the wait.

Beautiful place.. The owner of the restaurant was very friendly.

Paneer Tikka was awful tasteless.(Ordered on 13 June at around 7pm). Waste of $18. I strongly recommend the management to eat paneer tikka once from Indian Desire(469 Bloor Street West) to know where you stand in terms of taste. You cannot sell this low quality kind of food for $18. I am very disappointed. Spring roll was average. Vegetable Pakora and masala chai were very good.

Good tasty meal Ordered butter chicken ( okay just abit sweet for my taste) Butter naan ( excellent) Plain white rice ( fresh) but not warm enough.

With an array of options showcasing authentic Indian flavors, backed by stellar customer service and a chic atmosphere, this spot is a definite winner. Im already planning my next visit and will be sure to suggest it for outings with friends or family. Cant wait to dive into their tempting combo lunch packages next time!

Incredible curry and service

Well! I would like to put light on this restaurant service. They only entertain people if you spend more other than that they ask you to leave. The manager and staff misbehaves. I would never recommend this restaurant. Poor Service

Our favourite place to go. Great food, great price. We love it!

very kind servers, amazing food would highly recommend the eggplant bharta and the garlic naan was soo yummy

It s just outstanding! The food the staff everything is wow and I have to visit them every few months though I m from another city, and the most important the high quality is always there,, never changed

Samosas were not cooked.. food not upto the par

The waiters a re really rude.

Love ordering takeout from this place. Speedy, delicious and divine. Will come back for more :)

Why visit: 1) For authentic and flavourful Indian appetizers and curries 2) Near ROM and other Toronto downtown attractions 3) Nice ambience and attentive staff 4) Reasonable lunch special combos

Had the lunch special, it didnt look like much but it was very filling. Would recommend.

Amazing buffet - pricey though.

Good food and service. Def a try in downtown Toronto Vegetarian options: Lot of vegetarian options Food : 4/5 |

Charming little place with excellent food. Really enjoyed my anniversary dinner there!

Food was great. Visited the place for one special occasion with near ones. Food was good good. They gave us complimentary gulab jamun too. Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options to choose from.

This is such a great place. They have great music , great service , great price . I have had biryanis at several restaurants in downtown area . This one has the best .

Worst experience ever. We went there at 4 pm and ordered a nonveg platter with drinks. He came to us and said we dont serve only snacks. The restaurant was empty at that time!

Not worth the price. Poor quality. Very little portions. Not worth the hype. I would recommend you guys to try other restaurants

Do order kheer here . It is amazing. I had also tried Lamb Bhuna , the texture and taste was good but it was very spicy. I would have preferred it to be milder. Food

Loved their food ...very friendly and beautiful ambiance

We ordered veg platter and what we were served was cauliflowers pakoras burnt from outside and undercooked from inside. Veg. thali was ordinary in taste too.

Best Indian resturant in ontario

The taste ummmmmmhhaa .... Try out guys best of best in the town. Food

Have ordered takeout from here for many years - never disappoints!

yum food, good service

The food is very fresh and tasty. The staff is cordial and fast.

Had dinner after celebrating 190th Birthday of Toronto. Amazing food. Authentic Indian taste

Well, when my friend and I stepped in the restaurant, we are greeted with warm welcome. The menu offers a variety of dishes in a reasonable price. We enjoyed the meal as well specially the Kdahi paneer. The staff member are too friendly. Overall, we highly recommend Little India restaurant to those people who wants taste of India in Toronto.

I recently dined at Little Angel Restaurant with my friends and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, especially the sahi paneer that we tried !! , the ambiance was charming but the service was little slow. Pricing is moderate. Overall, I would recommend this place if you are looking to try Indian food.

On of the most fiery and spicey vindaloos I ve had. Not just heat but great flavor too.

Small place but the food was good.

The place is not halal I think but the vegetarian dishes are great. Good portion and fresh ingredients at a very reasonable price considering the location

Best Indian food in the city, hands down!

Service and atmosphere is good but food taste is so bad.Also we Oder for vegetable tahali, they don t even ask for which veggies you want

The food is delicious and the employees are quite nice and always gives a good service

Undoubtedly one of the best Indian restaurants in the downtown. Food is amazing. Though service could be better. I ve tried their: 1. Madras Chicken => Excellent and bit spicy 2. Chicken tikka masala => Mind blowing 3. Chicken Korma => Delicious and bit on sweeter side. 4. Saag Chicken => Good but I like above three dishes more. Chicken is so juicy and perfectly cooked. Portion sizes are also decent. Overall, if you care a lot about service, you may get bit disappointed. But from food perspective, it s just amazing.

Very good food, nice dining place. Garlic Nana is a must order food, highly recommended. The waitress in the picture provides very good customer service with a beautiful smile and very polite. I like her.

The menu offered a wide selection including many vegetarian options. The food itself was good but the garlic naan was definitely the star of the show! Great bread and a big portion too. The staff were also very friendly, offering free water throughout the meal. I got spinach paneer and a portion of garlic naan which together with 15% tip and taxes was about 30 CAD.

Watered down butter chicken. The deal for two on Ubereats is deceiving with the bbq items it s one small dish with hard bad pieces mixed together not separate dishes. Disappointing!

Authentic and traditional Indian food that is so delicious. This is my favourite place for butter chicken in Toronto! I usually order sides of garlic naan and steamed basmati rice. The combo dinner for two is a great option if youre very hungry. Excellent service. Reservations are accepted. We were walk-ins on a Saturday night at 6 pm and there was no wait to get a table for two, but the restaurant was pretty busy.

Im not a big fan of Indian food so I always order butter chicken. I will have to say a bit too sweet !! My husband has the lamb since he likes Indian food he said the lamb is pretty good and meat soft. Got veggies samosa is average good. Dishes are smaller than expected for the price.

Great food, everything we ordered was delicious. Nice service.

Little India Restaurant has never disappointed me in the 14 years Ive been going there about 8 times a year for dinner. I almost always order their window menu, dinner for two special, they even allow us to modify one of the dishes with another on their menu without a issue. They have an extremely professional wait staff and I do not hesitate to guarantee a memorable dining experience each and every time I recommend them to friends of ours. Keep up the great work and we love the new renovations! Vegetarian options: You can never go wrong , so many options to choose from

Food was yum.. good place in downtown

Good food. The curries need to be spicy.

It was my first experience eating here Indian food as an Indian but it reminded me of India . The best Indian food I have eaten .

The food is very delicious. Best Indian food in here .

Very well located in Queen St. Close to University Av and Osgoode Subway Station in Toronto. Good food and good service. Prices Are reasonable.

This is probably my 10th time coming here and its been amazing each and every time. I started coming here in 2016 from a friends recommendation and it still hits the spot for amazing Indian food. We usually get the chicken pakora which isnt the ones youd get at Hakka places but instead tasty chicken nugget style pieces that have amazing flavour. We also ordered the garlic naan, chicken Biryani and chicken vindaloo which are staples that we order each and every time were there. The curries are packed with flavour and just complement the naan or rice really well. We also got the aloo paratha which was really nicely done and is an a great alternative to naan if you like potatoes. The price and portions are great. Service was amazing! This place will continue to be my top recommendation for Indian food in the GTA. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options on the menu

Absolutely delicious. My first time coming here but definitely not my last. Excellent food, great service, very reasonable price, nice ambiance, and excellent location. All you need for wonderful Indian food. I had the prawn tandoori and it was delicious! I can t wait to go back .. going to try Rogan Josh next!

Very poorly prepared tandoori chicken. The dal makhani was fine.

Nice cosy place. Friendly n helpful staff. The food is delicious but can be spicy so ask for it to be tamed down a bit.

Truthfully the best Indian food Ive had in the city. Both the chicken korma and rogan josh were so complex and delicious in flavour. We got mild and there was still a good, manageable kick to the rogan josh. The garlic naan was incredible and the kheer was made with delicious rose water. The staff was also very kind and helpful in their recommendations! We will definitely return for special occasions :)

Best butter chicken in the world

Service and food were equally good. Both curries were tasty but the one with lamb was incredible.

Amazing food

Ive been going here for fitten years and everything about this place is amazing. The food is awesome, the service is spot on and nice. Really happy to see they have remained despite all the change on Queen St. Go eat here. You dont regret it.

I hate the food. It smells bad,taste is stale. Overall not recommended

Worst food ever. Zero in terms of service and stale food

It was very good service was amazing and amazing food!!!

We ordered a vegetable thali that was okay but the atmosphere is just not that okay.

I am writing a review the next day morning, sitting in the washroom. spiciest vindaloo for no reason. It was so damn spicy for no reason, if there was a reason for vindaloo to be this spicy it would be: no one should eat it. Mango lassi, Kothu roti was good. update after couple of weeks: the thought of Vindaloo still gives me nightmares! whatever they serving there it isnt Vindaloo, its just plain chillies. I eat spicy food, this isnt edible. No living creature should eat it.

Add butter

Maxing food and ambiance

Their vegetarian combo is a must! Love the ambiance as well!

Visiting in Toronto from Miami. Great food and service. Atmosphere was very relaxing. If I ever come back, I will definable visit this restaurant again to try new things.

We ve tried the dine for two combo. The selection of items were great and the quantity was too good for 2 people. Would have loved a spicier chicken dish. Full marks for the staff, they re very friendly and obedient.

I went to this place on 10/16/2023 with 4 friends , I ordered Chicken Vindaloo , Shrimp Vindaloo , the food has lots of color in it even after washing hands it didnt go off . Surprisingly , they added Aloo(Potato) in the Chicken and Shrimp , but they havent mentioned it in the Menu about this, when I asked them why is Potato in the Chicken and Shrimp they mentioned Vindaloo will have Aloo. Another level of cheating customers.

good food I enjoy.

Very decent food. Got dinner for two. A nice mix of meat and vegetable dishes. The restaurant was very lively but service was still prompt and attentive.

Vegetarian options: Authentic Food

I went to this restaurant yesterday the food they severed was good but the hospitality we got was pathetic specially a lady who worked in the morning. She behaved differently with us. We are not whites, may be not in suits but we paid the same as suits people and whites did.

I like their food but it usually gets very busy during the evenings and the service tends to get slow. The rest is good, the tables are limited so sometimes you have to wait.

In 2023, due to inflation and rising living costs, prices and portions at Little India Restaurant have changed. Despite that, its still a great occasional treat. The Butter Chicken sauce is fantastic and should be sold in jars a must-have for everyone! You cant go wrong with the butter chicken dish.

Not very spicy good for one time

Too crowded, barely could hear or breathe.. I was fooled by the crowd the food wasnt even cooked well and waitingtime was for more than an hour. Never recommended.

The restaurant and staff is very nice but the food is the worst Indian food I ve ever had. Ordered the Veggie lunch combo and the Dal Makhani and Palak Paneer were no way Dal Makhani and Palak Paneer . Probably the reason why you won t find any Indians eating there or just the first timers like me.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place

Lovely evening with family and friends at this great place on Queen W. The food and service was fabulous. Recommended!

Very friendly staff, great dining experience. Tried kothu roti and chicken korma - both were phenomenal, especially together!

Best taste of Indian and Punjabi food at downtown of Toronto.

With no doubt, the best Indian restaurant I have ever been. I was there last year and I will go back every time I am in Toronto. In this restaurant, the chef has talents in his finger tips. Delicious food. You can tell from the gazelion pick up or Uber orders I have seen during the short time I stayed in to eat.

Very poor service and even worse food. The food came in after a big delay, however the worst part was that it was tasteless. I had ordered spicy, however the host forgot to tell this to the chef. I had to ask several times just to get spoons and napkins for my food. At the end, all they said is sorry for the inconvenience.

We had an amazing server Majuri, she was the best, give ice cream to all the kids we had

My family, friends and I have been coming to this restaurant for 21 years. The food and the service is always so amazing. Its so great to see a family restaurant business thrive for so long!! Vegetarian options: They have lots of delicious veggie options. Kid-friendliness: Great family restaurant!!

Great indian food and customer service was outstanding. Danush did a great job, we were 4 peoples and he was very helpful to all of us.Real taste of indian food.

This isn t the best Indian food you ve ever had. I Will give it 5 stars only because it stands out from all the trash Indian food that is served in Downtown Toronto. The naan is great, really great vegetarian options, and service is amazing! Overall, you won t be disappointed - which is a big hallmark for Indian restaurants downtown. Vegetarian options: Great veggie options

Best butter chicken with unique sweet flavour and customize your heat level. Service is always fast, generous and reliable. Cozy decor. Have been going for over a decade and every time it s 10/10.

Authentic Indian food! Like the butter chicken.

Great Indian food til it gives you food poisoning after ordering from the same place for 7 years. Used to order at least twice a month from this place.

Been going here for more than 10 years I have tried Indian food all over the GTA and abroad his is hands down my favourite place. Food is great and always fresh and Staff goes above and beyond to always be kind and pleasant

they did not even offe

This place is a scam. I ordered based on the reviews and the food was horrible. The butter chicken is an acid tomato soup, and very tomaty The chicken is tasteless. I asked very mild sauce for both our butter chicken and our chicken korma so we could share with our 5 yo. It was very hot and flavorless. And we are Moroccans so we are used to harissa and spicy food. My daughter ended up crying after the forst bite thats why Im writing this review otherwise usually I just dont come back to a bad place. Im telling you, those 2.6K reviews are certainly fake ones. Pls stop disrespect your customers !! With the cost of living nowadays, when people order at expensive price they expect decent food. Stop scamming people with very low quality products and shortcuts.

Got food as takeout. The mutton rolls are soo good! We also enjoyed the shrimp biryani, lamb vindaloo and butter chicken. I found the butter chicken a bit on the sweet side though. The garlic naan was also good.

Great food - delicious and perfectly cooked. Had a modified dinner for one and they happily accommodated personal preferences. Service was friendly and responsive. Will absolutely recommend this restaurant to others.

Very very poor customer service these guys have no clue in what order is indian food served and how is it served. tea which is after the food drink was served first then after half an hour or so a food comes with starters missing in between the main course starters were presented to all time high surprise that paneer was served with chicken on same platter . when asked why so the mid aged women who is the rudest of all says we served. Veg and mon veg items together on top Of each other. These are people who may have come from India but pretend they don t know anything that too in an Indian restaurant. anyways madam no where in world is paneer and chicken served in the same plate Anyways it was worst experience of an Indian restaurant in Canada or US till date .

I ordered on Uber a single Aloo paratha and asked them to make it crispy and well done toasted but it was so disappointed that i had to throw it as it was not even baked properly Not gonna order again from this location.

We enjoyed the food. The naan is so yum. Parking is an issue as this restaurant is located downtown.

The food is delicious and the service is the best!
