Little India Cafe

Disappointed. We wanted to try a new place. First impressions, it's a small, 20 seat restaurant. It was quite loud with people talking. The food did not meet expectations. There are better and more authentic tasting restaurants in the area for the same price. The veg biryani (my Fave dish) had no sauce; was so dry and lacking vegetables. The other dishes were lackluster, without the typical full flavour of Indian cooking. Sadly, I won't be going again.

Little Indian Cafe has good food and services for customers. If you try it once, I promise you are going to go again and again. I can say that the chief has the best experience in food.

My family and I have been enjoying Little India Cafe food for over 20 years now. We highly recommend it!!! We have hosted many parties and have brought home Little India dishes and have never been disappointed on the taste and quantity.We’ve brought many family and friends from Europe, America, Africa and India to dine in at the restaurant and everyone still remembers the great food by Ramji. Thank you for the great food and great service from the family and staff at Little India Cafe!!!

It was my first time visiting and unfortunately it will be my last. I didn't find the food, service and atmosphere particularly enjoyable.The wait was quite long and staff didn't seem to be professional (from my perspective).I recommend to take your hard earned money elsewhere, if I could I would give 0 stars.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Little India Cafe with a large group, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. This family-run establishment truly captures the essence of Indian cuisine, and every aspect of our visit left us delighted.First and foremost, the service at Little India Cafe was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our big group, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. Their attentiveness and genuine warmth made us feel like part of their extended family, and it was evident that they take great pride in their business.Now, let's talk about the food! Oh my, where do I even begin? The flavors bursting from each dish were simply incredible. From the aromatic spices to the perfectly balanced curries, every bite was a celebration of Indian cuisine. The menu offered a wide variety of options, catering to both vegetarians and meat lovers. Our group sampled a range of dishes, and each one surpassed our expectations. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the presentation was impeccable.What truly sets Little India Cafe apart is the authenticity they bring to the table. You can sense the passion and love that goes into each dish. The recipes they use must have been passed down through generations, as the flavors transported us to the vibrant streets of India. The ambiance of the restaurant also adds to the overall experience, with its charming decor and cozy atmosphere.In addition to the exceptional food and service, the affordability of the meals at Little India Cafe was a pleasant surprise. Despite the high quality of the cuisine, the prices were reasonable and provided great value for money. It's refreshing to find a place that offers such a fantastic dining experience without breaking the bank.If you're a fan of Indian cuisine or simply looking to try something new, I wholeheartedly recommend Little India Cafe. The combination of their authentic dishes, accommodating service, and warm atmosphere make it an ideal destination for both small gatherings and larger groups. Pay them a visit, and you'll understand why this place has become a hidden gem in our community. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delectable menu.

Went here for the buffet on Father's day. Food was good here but this place is way too small for buffet's. It was very hard to squeeze past people to get food. For some reason there was a line of people just standing and waiting for a table in front of the steamline where the food was making it very hard for people to go up to get food. Not sure why the staff didn't tell them to wait outside because there was no space there.

Not sure why for all the positive reviews? Decided to dine here with my best friend before catching the new D&D movie, for the first time. First, this place is small, crowded, and loud, which made for an uncomfortable dining experience. Second, the service was truly bad. We waited 40 minutes for a simple butter chicken and veggie briyani. The waitress never checked in with us to see if everything was good or to refresh our drinks. My butter chicken did not come with rice unlike all the other Indian restaurants I have been to, and my chicken was cut into inconvenient giant-sized pieces. Last, the prices were not worth what we both received as food and for such terrible service. Next time we're in the area, we will hit the Dominos up the street instead. First and definitely my last time eating here.

This is my spot for when I want Butter Chicken. Best Butter Chicken in town. The flavour and consistency every time we go is always on point. Paired that with the garlic naan and it hits the spot for sure. It’s been a few years since we have had Little India Cafe but anytime we ask friends or family what there favorite Indian restaurant is it is Little India Cafe.We got to try Alo Gobi which is a vegetarian dish that I really enjoyed. Lots of flavour. Absolutely recommend you try it. It’s deliciousWhat I like most about Little India Cafe is that you can select what kind of heat you would like, mild medium or hot.Another thing I can appreciate is during these uncertain times ordering is done online with a time slot. And only one person is allowed in the door where a member of the staff will great you at the window and ask for your name. The system is great as they make sure that the staff and customers are stay safe.Food 5Customer Service 5Overall experience 5Chef Ram and Server Divya get high regards from me. My experience was amazing. Keep being again and I hope for another 30 years of amazing food.Thank you

I came in a few weeks ago with my family. I had an awesome experience. The staff were very friendly and the food tasted truly authentic. My number one destination for Indian food in Ottawa!

World Famous Butter Chicken & Garlic Naan Bread. Get the butter chicken. It is creamy, buttery, and royal. The chicken is perfectly cooked. Juicy. Large quantity of meat. Garlic naan. One for each person. Super yummy. Nice sesame seeds. Ordered the veg samosas. I’ve had better ones from there before. The okra dish was good. But we kept on going for dipping the naan into the butter chicken sauce. Curious to know the other dishes everyone likes.Also great value. They didn’t sky rocket their food prices like everyone else. Friendly staff. Good service.
