Little India

Quick Curry Lunch Deal hit the spot!
It’s one of those places you pass all the time going unnoticed, usually on your way to somewhere new and cool. I do it all the time:/ Well today I decided to forget «new and cool» and pop in for a £4.90, 2 course lunch deal. Pakora and a curry with accompaniment for £4.90! Pretty good deal for the cost of a soup and a sandwich in some places. Have to say the food was well prepared and delicious and the service was more than adequate, so I’ll have no hesitation returning… :)

So I visited Little India as I wanted to complete my Shawlands strip of Indian restaurants, plus it was marginally cheaper than Café Noor (which I had already been to) when outside of Café Noor’s awesome pre-​theatre deal time.
The service wasn’t particuly speedy or good (they were very puzzled that one of our group wanted popadums with his main, not as a starter and that we weren’t ordering starters) and indeed proceeded to deliver the popadums as a starter — awkward as no one else had a starter.
Beer prices around average for an Indian restaurant. The keema naan was really nice though, with a proper layer of keema in the middle of the naan.
The mince vindaloo was also very tasty, really hot too. However the Tikka Masala looked very similar to the korma which was slightly off-​putting.
In a city full of very good and excellent Indian restaurants, I’m afraid I can’t recommend Little India — however it’s decent enough.

My favourite Indian Restaurant. I have been eating here for years and have never been let down on quality. The staff are friendly and remember you and chat easily. The value is fantastic considering the high quality of their meals. You can get a 3 course lunch here from £4.90. I love the chicken puri and they do delicious pakora and chaat for starters. Lamb Bhuna is melt in the mouth tender. Yummy.

Beautiful cuisine at reasonable prices! Staff who are always helpful and keen to help. It is very comfortable and always has a great atmosphere. Recommended

Decent meal, decent price. Curries weren’t the hottest/​spiciest though. Service was attentive, actually too attentive — we were asked if we wanted more drinks by 3 separate employees within the space of 2 minutes. Was absolutely stuffed after my meal, no room for desert but took a doggy bag home, which did the following day’s lunch!
Would go back!

Absolutely fine for a quick lunch. Staff are friendly enough with a willingness to describe the dishes on offer to those not familiar with them. Food is good for the budget-​ish end of the market with a surprisingly tasty coffee available. Plenty of food establishments in the Shawlands area and this one is worth a shot. Prices very reasonable.
