Had dinner here tonight with my wife. The Vegetable platter appetizer was fantastic with a nice variety of Pakoras. The Butter Chicken was velvety smooth with the right amount of spice and tomato flavor. The Fish Masala was cooked perfectly and fell apart in the mouth. The basmati rice, the perfect platform to soak up excess sauce. Lastly, the Kheer (rice pudding) was the perfect ending to an excellent meal. The service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend eating here! read more

Delicious, fresh dishes. We had the Saag Paneer and Shrimp Kari's, both excellent. Clean, attractive decor. Service was very attentive. Highly recommend read more

Maya and her husband have truly reinvented this place. We first tried it three years ago under different ownership and the improvement under this new management is amazing. The food is phenomenal without being too spicy if you ask for a milder version. The menu has tons of vegetarian and vegan options but my personal favorites are the mango chicken, madras chicken and the biryani. The mango lassi and gulab jamun are classics but the menu is varied enough so that the adventurous foodie can explore many new items. I don't eat dairy and the chef was careful to make me things that had no cream or butter in them. The prices are very reasonable for the location and this is truly a family owned small business that does Indian food just right! read more

Their food is always amazing. The naan is fluffy and warm, the garlic naan is flavorful, and when you ask them to make it a spicey... they deliver! Thanks y'all for an amazing dinner! read more

Wow. What a hidden gem. I have ordered twice in the last month or so and it has been consistently delicious. Paneer Butter Masala. The side of rice that came with my meal was fluffy and delicious. My first time I ordered gobi Manchurian and it was delicious. Butter naan was soft and warm. Really enjoy being able to get delicious Indian delivered for a reasonable price. Will dine in soon. read more

Excellent food at a great price. The service was amazing we even received a free appetizer & dessert. Highly recommended

Ordered take out on door dash. We had chicken vindaloo and garlic naan. We liked that they included papadams and 3 chutneys. Food was prepared promptly. read more

We ordered take out from Little India on a cold winter day looking for something to heat us up. The phone service was nice, efficient, yet patient when we asked questions. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, medium spice, which was spicier than I expected. It was okay, not the best I've had and didn't contain very much flavor. My boyfriend had the Lamb Vindaloo, which he thought was very flavorful and loved the spice level. All-in-all my favorite part of the meal was the Garlic Naan and dipping sauces. It definitely satisfied my craving for a warm, comforting meal. But I don't think I'd go out of my way to order from here again. read more

What a gem! Saw the store front and decided to try it out. Went late, so restaurant was empty, but WOW the food was amazing! Chicken tikka masala and Butter Chicken were on POINT. Garlic naan was perfect. Even though we were the only ones there, all the food was 100% freshly made and piping hot when they served it. Glad there is such an incredible Indian spot in Simsbury! read more

Love this place. Best Indian food in the area. Their baingan bharta is spectacular, as is their chicken vindaloo.

Best Indian food around. Hasn't always been but if you haven't been recently you should - we get takeout and they never disappoint!

I don't know if this place is under new ownership, but the last time I was there, the food was bland (even after requesting that it be spicy-hot), the service sub-par and little business to show for it. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. read more

Wonderful service, amazing food, great atmosphere, 10/10 will be coming back and recommending to everyone!!!!

Second time I've gotten take out from here. I had the bhindi masala and matar paneer. Both were very good. I got the medium and it was the right level of spicy. Might try the next level up next time. Will definitely visit again. Very, very nice staff. read more

It's closed! Tried calling and stopped by. All dark!? Also unable to order online! Loved it but what happened?

I had a gift certificate for months if not couple of years. My daughter and I finally decided to try this place. We love Indian food and eat it quite often, so I had my expectations. The interior is very 80's but honestly it doesn't matter to me. Food is what I want, good food. The woman at the front counter was very nice and attentive. We ordered vegetable and meat samosa of the appetizer menu and they tasted ok, but the pastry was bit too oily. Main course I had the typical chicken tikka Masala and I must say in my 30 years of eating Indian food this was the first time I had one taste this way. I ate but didn't enjoy it, and half way through I lost interest in my food. My daughter said her dish was good-chicken vindaloo, I had a fork full but again felt dish was not very exciting. I feel bad, I want them to do well as this area needs an Indian restaurant. Perhaps the owners can cook smaller amounts but serve fresh exciting cuisine. They need to visit a good place in NYC and speak with owners ask for advise/help to bring this place back. I don't care for the look of the place if food is good but perhaps they can brighten this place up. Remove the dated wallpaper border, paint a nice fresh color, remove the tired tablecloth and use traditional Indian cloth instead under the glass, or nothing at all. Good Luck! Wishing you well. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was. Coming from NY, I've had my share of pretty good Indian cuisine and I would say Little India is up there with the good ones I've had. I ordered take-out and the service was good with nice people and with a complementary dessert that was given. The ambiance of the restaurant seemed authentic to the owner's culture. I appreciated that the AC was blasting in the 90 degree weather, making it comfortable for anyone wanting to dine in. read more

The food has always been good here, but there are new owners in the past month and our food tonight was exceptional. Everything was excellent, well seasoned, cooked perfectly, and very tasty. We had chicken tikka masala and butter chicken, and the chicken in both was so tender, we were in Heaven. Samosas, naan and biryani, all perfect. We had an excellent dinner, and will be ordering more frequently. read more

Can you say, "HIDDEN GEM"?! We ordered takeout on a Friday night, which was promptly prepared and ready in 30 minutes. The food was delicious, we ordered a few different things as a family to share; the bread basket, Tikka Masala, Melagu Chettinad Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Aloo Gobi, and Andhra Chicken. Everyone shared and enjoyed everything, especially including the well prepared rice that cane along. Portions are plenty big enough to even have some leftovers for the week. I am looking forward to ordering from Little India again soon. read more

What an absolute gem in Simsbury! Was really craving authentic and delicious Indian cuisine! And this location came up on Yelp! So grateful it did as the staff was so friendly and greatly accommodated us into selecting the Tika Masala! More than generous of a portion and has a beautiful interior + seating! If you are ever in the mood, please do not hesitate to do yourself the favor of stopping by and getting a meal! Great family own business & will 127% be back to try the Butter Chicken! read more

We ordered from here and although it is tasty standard Indian cuisine for our group, one of our friends has a nut and seafood allergy and he became very sick and had a reaction after eating the "Indian style" wings. The rest of the group was fine but we realized all ingredients weren't listed on the menus, or they were cooked in something that used those ingredients. I would give them a try again but they really need to be more detailed with the menu description or make recipes explicitly clear. read more

We tried indian for the first time from this restaurant. We picked up the food for takeout. Very large portions! The chicken marsala was delicious with the naan bread. Everything was fresh and very filling. We will definitely go back. read more

What a pleasant surprise this little restaurant turned out to be!!! I had the luncheon buffet which had a limited selection of items compared to other area places but boy howdy was there a noticeable difference in quality. The chutneys were excellent even the Achar, which is something I usually don't care for, was quite good. I was taken by the very complex and subtle flavors which characterized and distinguished each and every dish on the buffet line. The owner is Punjabi so many of the dishes are cooked in that traditional Northern style which I found absolutely downright delicious!!! The paneer as well as the gulab jamun and Kheer desserts are all fresh as can be and made in house. I am very happy I stumbled on this neat little Indian restaurant and hope to return again soon. read more

My son and I had dinner here a few months ago and it was a very enjoyable experience. We ordered take-out tonight and the food was just as good as we remembered. We started with a cup of the mullugatwany soup ($3.95), it had a nice base of pureed lentils with some small chunks of veggies. I give this a B+. Next we had an order of Chicken Wings kalmi kabab ($5.95) advertised as "Indian style buffalo wings". To me, this was the weak link of the night. The quantity was good They gave you 8 decent sized wings. The "zip" factor was very good - a nice steady slow burn but not overwhelming. But the wings themselves? Just weren't good. The skins had a weird consistency- certainly not crisp or crunchy, Just kind of blah- like boiled chicken skin. We also had some garlic naan ($3.95) (pretty average). Our order included some freebie pakora that was a nice touch. The clear winner in our take-out bag was an order of MIxed Vindaloo ($14.95). Wow- was that good- a very flavorful and spicy sauce containing chunks of potato, chicken, lamb and shrimp. Served with a nice supply of rice, this was a real feast, although the shrimp were just a teense dried out. All in all, we have had two very good experiences here. Try it if you like Indian food, read more

I love Little India. It's a great place to go to for late night dining, that isn't a Diner- which is about the only thing opened past typical dinner hours around these parts of CT. You should be made aware of the service, it isn't bad! But it is slow. The food comes out quick, and the servers (usually the husband & wife owners), they leave you be. Not a lot of pampering in between bites, on slow, less busy nights. I've been here so many times, I've lost count. I drive 40 mins away for this restaurant, and I've never been displeased; Best Indian food I know of around here. I love their chicken and curry- its in tomato sauce. The male owner gets tickled when you ask your plate to be authentically spicy! One night he brought out free naan bread, for the hell of it. Another night, the wife made some rice pudding and insisted on us having it at the end of our meal! Very laid back and sweet couple. Great food, great proportions (enough for two or lunch the next day!), with a clean and quiet atmosphere. Also, I believe they allow BYOB, can't go wrong with that ;) Little India is my favorite! And I've turned quite a few people on to Indian food, thanks to this place! read more

Reasonable quality Indian food in a strip mall in Simsbury. We actually stumbled upon Little India while heading to Harvest bakery for some bread. I clicked yelps nearby button on my iphone and this popped up. Dan R's recent review helped seal the deal. We were there at lunch time, and they had the weekend buffet but it wasn't very busy. I looked and didn't see much I liked but the owner asked what I liked and added it to the buffet for me! The food was all very good, I had Mattar Paneer, Palak Paneer, Veg Korma, basmati rice, an assortment of pickle, pakoras, a nice bhel puri, naan, gulab jamun, rice pudding etc etc .. . It was a buffet, so it was just sitting there on the steam table and some places this could be bad - but overall, the food was fresh and hot. Spice level was good for a buffet - i feel sometimes they spice is toned down for general consumption, but the food here was all nice and spicy and delicious. Everyone that was working was very friendly and nice. The decor feels a bit like a flashback to the 80s, but we came for the food - not the velvet paintings. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Little India if we were ever in the area again. read more

Favorite place for Indian food! Both the food and the service are outstanding. Every time we come here we are treated like family. My boyfriend always gets the tandoori mixed grill, and it is always tailored to his preference of no seafood. I try to get different dishes every time we go and l have found everything to be delicious, but the mixed vindaloo was a real standout! I got medium spicy which was perfect. Very happy to say portions are generous enough that not only did I eat more than my fill at dinner, I had leftovers for lunch the next day. For an app if you like soup I suggest you try the mulligatawny. This is a great place for either a group outing or a date. Oh also best chai I have ever had in my life (I have had a lot of teas in my day). read more

I frequent a few different Indian restaurants as Indian food is my favorite type of food. I just had my first meal ever at Little India and OMGosh it was amazing. The atmosphere is calming and relaxing and the food is incredible. We had just missed the cutoff time of 3 pm for the buffet and they still offered us the buffet which we opted not to eat. The lady who served us was very nice. She even gave us some vegetable pakora from the buffet for free! Although the vegetable pakora was not hot anymore it was delicious!! It was an explosion of Indian flavors and spices that was so good, words cannot describe. We ordered my favorite Indian dish, chicken chilli, and garlic naan which were both exceptional. I would have taken pictures to include in my review but the food was SO FRIGGEN GOOD that I couldn't put my fork down long enough to take pictures. We also got chai, which is my favorite hot drink, and that too was very, very good. They even gave us an extra container of chai which gave us both 1.5-2ish cups of chai. Good news! Little India now delivers up to 8 miles from the restaurant! I will be returning soon for their buffet. This restaurant is right up there with Taste of India in West Hartford and Bollywood in Glastonbury, which I also love. YUM!!!! read more

The food is REALLY good. Probably some of the best Indian in the area. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions or even put together a salad for you. There's real passions behind the food, and they won't hesitate to talk to you, ask questions, and provide suggestions. read more

This was my second time grabbing takeout from Little India, and I was just as pleased as before. They're located in a strip of stores, right over the Granby line into Simsbury. The inside is kept clean, and the staff has always been pleasant. My order of garlic naan was quite large, with stray hunks of garlic clove. Delicious. For my entree, I decided to try the mixed vindaloo. I am typically disappointed when I order something containing a delicate meat such as chicken breast. This wasn't the case at Little India. I can't describe the chicken as anything but perfect. It was tender and moist. The lamb was cooked just as well. Little India has done something that most restaurants cannot. Congratulations. The sauce in my vindaloo was crazy aromatic, and full of so many different flavors. They give you the choice of mild, medium, and hot. I went with medium, which gave me a nice, slow burn. Also, they included rice. I expect it with an entree, and am sadly letdown by a lot of other places. They also included chips (I'm not sure what they're actually called) and a variety of sauces (again, no clue what they're called). I have been pleased with both of my experiences with Little India. Both times, the food was great. Highly recommended. read more
