    Very little parking space. But the food is affordable and I love the meatless food. I ordered Rose Lassi, Paneer Kadhai, and Mix Platter Pakora, I got full without the rice. Masala Tea taste like tangy salabat, but it's a healthy drink. Halwa, or carrot pudding, is naturally sweet.

    For those who enjoy Indian cuisine, this place is a must-try! It's a small simple restaurant but the food surely speaks for itself. They are located on the second floor of a building right beside a school, it is a bit hard to find. We learned that Little India is a vegetarian and vegan place so if your looking for a healthier meal choice this is the best place for you. The food was excellent, the service was prompt and cheerful and the food is not expensive at all.

    Little India is still my favourite restaurant-to-go-to when I like to eat vegetarian dishes. They can adjust the spice to your preference. Their samosa is the best I had in Manila, that goes very well with tamarind sauce. Yum!

    Food was very tasty and they give very generous servings. Love their rose lassi. Authentic indian and meatless food for a reasonable price. Too bad we weren't able to taste their samosa as it wasn't available when we visited.

    An affordable and delicious spot for Indian food in Maginhawa. Located on the 2nd floor of the building, it is one of the area's older restaurants before the Maginhawa restaurant boom that started pre-pandemic. I always get the Mixed Platter which is under P200, and then I get naan paired with any of the vegetarian Indian dishes they have. On our last visit we had Dal Fry and Korma, both delicious with our naan. Staff is great. They have a small al fresco area that overlooks the street, but they also have an air conditioned dining area as well.

    It’s my first time trying out Indian food. I really loved their veggie chicken tikka rice and their mixed platter.

    Probably one of my fave indian places so far! The restaurant does not serve meat at all so this is a great place to eat for you vegans and vegetarians out there. Eitherway you would really love the food if you're after authenticity and good tasting food! We were three dining at the time but I think we over ordered since we asked to take out some of the food items we werent able to finish. We also bought a pot of tea to cap off the meal.

    Highly recommended for great tasting vegetarian food, good serving size (okay for sharing too!), and value for money. I personally liked that they have meal sets in case you're not sure what to order. Nice ambience of the place and good service as well. 😊

    I am not familiar with Indian cuisine myself but went here with an Indian guest. We ordered a good variety of dishes so we Filipinos get oriented with Indian dishes. Our Indian guest was very satisfied with what this restaurant offerred. He said the taste of the dishes are authentic Indian though mostly on the heavier (thick cream) side! Personally, I really liked the Shahi Paneer (cottage cheese) and the Mango Lassi (yoghurt). UPDATE: Came back here with another well-travelled Indian guest. Verdict: 4 stars for the food. Nevermind the simple ambiance.

    People who are looking for pure vegetarian options in Manila can come here for sure. There are many options for Indian food, taste is good and it's not too expensive. Usually there is no wait time. The food comes in 10-15 mins after your order.

    I was not expecting a delicious and heavy meal. I came out happy. Ordered the Mushroom Mutter and it was holy, added some Chapati buttered bread and bbq veggie meat to top my dinner. The place is well ventilated with a non-ac and air-conditioned room, a small terrace where you can dine while watching the cars pass by.

    Only decent Indian resto in the North! I just realized that there's a huge gap in Indian restaurants in Quezon City! Anyway, Little India is the only on I found with good ratings and the question is, how does it fair? Personally, nothing beats the Royal Curry House in Poblacion but this will do. I ordered their Paneer, Naan and Lassi. Wouldve loved to try their Balsamic friend rice offers but they got sold out at 7pm. That's a sign that they should have better forecasting. For me, their Paneer is too creamy and milky for my liking. For the others, I would have to say tastes ordinary and nothing special. However, if you really have that Indian food craving in you, Little India will do.

    Definitely a trip to India with their sumptuous meals to offer! Food is really delicious. Herbs and spices add distinct flavor in each dishes. There's so many choices to choose from appetizers, main course and desserts. Vegans will love here. Place is very accessible which is near Kalayaan Ave QC. In terms of space, it is not big still can accomodate enough pax and acceptably neat. Price is in midrange which equates the servings that is good for 2-3 pax. Accomodating staff.

    Our go-to place for amazing Indian food! I've eaten here multiple times and have never been disappointed in the quality of the food. Highly recommended for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. At first, the serving looks small but it's actually quite filling. Best dish for me is the aloo chat (crispy fried potato); I order it every time ❤️ The veggie meat is also amazing. It tastes just like the real thing. Other favourites are the buttered naan, buttered chapati, paneer, and the chai.

    Indian food is not really my taste. Their Samosa is a must-try tho.

  • 5/5 Ate girl N. 3 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    We've only heard stellar recommendations about this place from our friends so we tried it out. The menu was massive and informative, providing detailed descriptions of each dish. I really appreciated this because as a first-timer, navigating the varied dishes was made easy by having the descriptions right on the paper Me and my companion both got sets to try more of the food, and it was delicious. Vegetables were seasoned amazingly well and had a flavor profile that left me wanting to come back.

    Ahhhhh Indian food.....have my reservations regarding this cuisine. Went here with high hopes of changing my mind 😂 And sadly it didn't 😔 a hit but mostly mises for me. I guess it's an acquired taste. the Indian food escaped is now closed🔐🔒🔒🔒😜

  • 2/5 Nigel Christopher A. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Staff is nice and accommodating; they have a buzzer system in place, making it convenient for the customer to call for the waiter. Place has a good atmosphere too! However, the food was not satisfying. It did not do justice to its prices. The aloo paratha had too little of the “aloo” (potato), and it was under-seasoned. The naan was unremarkable. Their masala chai was bland and watery. The curried chickpeas was the only decent tasting dish for me. The food is disappointing. I hope they make use more of their spices since the menu is really pricey.

  • 5/5 Acan A. 4 years ago on Google
    Always love going here. It's authentic Indian food and it's all vegetarian! The price is more than reasonable and it's really delicious. The staff are friendly and the ambience is calming. It's the perfect place to catch up with friends and get full on a budget.

  • 4/5 April Vera C. 4 years ago on Google
    Had dinner with girl friends. We tried the Little India for the first time and very tasty food, reasonable price, atmosphere is special, but the food is great. This is the original and authentic Indian restaurant, I would like to say original flavour of Indian food service is five star. The waiters were attentive and service overall was good. Yummm! If you would like to eat authentic Indian food, try this place.

  • 1/5 kannan p s. 1 year ago on Google
    So far the worst Indian food in Metro Manila for me. Service is horrible , there was only 2 customers when I was eating and they had buzzer to call the waiter , I had to wait 15 minutes to get the waiter. Food is not tasty and it’s pricey compared to the taste and quality.

  • 5/5 ANKIT P. 1 year ago on Google
    My Goto Place for Indian cravings. Decent - Friendly - Affordable. Samosa was so good today along with the Dosas. Idlis still need some work as it’s wet and moist when served. Still the best considering least options around.

  • 3/5 Kevyn G. 5 years ago on Google
    Orders are a bit small but if you're looking for a vegetarian restaurant then this place is pretty good. Parking isn't that great. But I liked their Rajma and their Paneer. The Rajma are red kidney beans in Garam Masala gravy. It's filling but I still find it a bit pricy for a small dish.

  • 1/5 こんそめ 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Order thali. It seems that it doesn't use onions or garlic like a vegan shop, but it was too tasty or too spicy and it was very dull. I was particularly disappointed that Dahl wasn't delicious at all. The only thing that was delicious was Achar. I brought back a set of pakora and samosa, but that is normal. I wonder if I will go anymore. (Original) ターリーを注文。 ヴィーガンのお店らしく玉ねぎやニンニクも使わないそうですが、あまりにも味がしなさすぎるというかスパイシーさがなさすぎてとても味気なかったです。 特にダールが全く美味しくなくてがっかり。 唯一美味しかったのはアチャールだけでした。 パコラやサモサのセットをお持ち帰りしましたがそちらは普通。 もう行くことはないかな。

  • 5/5 Carmela E. 3 years ago on Google
    Little India is love 💙 The place smells of exotic spices as you ascend the narrow stairs to the cozy tables upstairs. Everything about the place will transport you to India. From the scintillating smell coming from the kitchen, to the soft Indian music playing, and photos of Indian deities plastered on the wall. The food is something else. Scrumptious and filling. What comfort food should be. I wish your restaurant all the best!

    I normally love this place, but tonight was a disappointment. I ordered a dish 'spicy,' but it came as mild; I think they fixed just by stirring in some cayenne, which made it painfully hot. Service was also atypically slow and inattentive.

  • 3/5 Lourdes C. 4 years ago on Google
    Food tasted good; however, most of what we want to order were not available. Service is fast and the staff is efficient and courteous. The dining area is on the second floor, and parking space is very limited.
