Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the curries, describing them as cooked perfectly and not drowning in oil or ghee, with a wide choice that goes beyond the usual takeaway and good vegetarian options. One says the lamb tikka melts in the mouth, and another singles out the Chicken Tikka Tava and Baltic Exotica with onion pilau rice and garlic naan. Portions are generous enough that one household had leftovers for lunch the next day. Close behind, several note delivery arriving on time and hot, including a birthday order that came exactly when promised. A few long-time customers say the food has changed over recent months, with one describing salty, oily meals and a different base gravy, and another wondering whether the chef changed. One reviewer reports an order arriving without mixed starters or poppadoms, which turned up after the meal was finished, with only a couple of extra poppadoms offered in return. Another mentions the open kitchen and visible cleanliness, and one order came with complimentary poppadoms.

Phoned and They've arrived now after we've finished meal . Not good when you've spent over 50 quid . No offer of owt to compensate just a cheery we've put you a couple of extra poppadoms in . Won't be using again .”

“Always have great takeaways from here, last night's Chicken Tikka Tava and Baltic Exotica with Onion Pilau Rice , Garlic Naan was so fresh, tasty and delivered hot (even came with complimentary Poppadoms). *Atmosphere marked down as it's a takeaway* nothing else.”

“I’m a bi disappointed to be honest, I’ve been coming here since 2006. This was in my opinion the best Indian takeaway I know (I’ve been to a lot). The last few meals have been salty oily and have a different taste compared to the norm. Don’t get me wrong Fresh but just taste different and unfortunately not for me anymore. Not sure what’s happened, different chefs different base gravy but it’s definitely changed and not for the better. Hope you read this little India what ever you’ve done it’s ruined it for me”

“I have had food from Little India for years and it has always been excellent but over the last couple of months the food has not been as good. Not sure whether the chef has changed but the food is very different at present .”

“In our experience the food is always immaculately prepared and tastes wonderful. The premises are visibly clean and this is representative of food presentation and healthy fresh taste. Really positive about Little India - we have had many takeaways (delivery and collection) and it has always been a first rate experience. Thank you Little India.”
