The Little India Restaurant

I first heard of The Little India Restaurant on Bryn Mawr at the Edgewater Dinner Crawl.  After sampling their samosas at the event I decided to head back to the restaurant to try more but unfortunately, was not as impressed the second time around.

The menu has a nice mix of northern and southern style dishes and the prices are very reasonable.  The service is fast and friendly but the decor is severely lacking.  Vegetable Samosas came to our table hot but the dough was not fully cooked inside.  The Rogan Josh had a good sauce that was spiced well but the lamb was extremely tough and chewy.  The Chicken Vindaloo also had problems. The sauce was “blow your socks off” spicy, which my dining partner greatly enjoyed, but the chicken was dry and tough as well. 

With Devon Avenue being so close I’m not sure how The Little India Restaurant will compete with the variety and authenticity of the restaurants on that street.  However, Edgewater and Andersonville locals will be pleased with the prices and the fact that they deliver, where the restaurants on Devon do not.

I highly recommend the Little India Restaurant. The food was excellent. The service was fast and very friendly. It is a great place to have dinner with friends or get a quick bite alone. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and I never felt rushed or uncomfortable. The food presentation was excellent. I ordered Chicken Boti, and it came out sizzling. It is a nice addition to Bryn Mawr and Edgewater. You should give it a try.

Can someone help me with the phone number of Little India..I believe they deliver food?

I just ordered food from there and the man who took my order was a rude jerk. I asked what the Chilli Chicken was like. He informed me that it tasted like "chicken with chilli." Wow. Thanks a lot.

Not a very cool way to treat your customers, especially when you just opened.
I won't be ordering there again.

I have been to this restaurant a number of times, and I've also used them for delivery. It's BYOB which is fantastic, the prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. I have been to many places on Devon and the Little Indian Cafe is consistently cheaper, more accessible, and has better food than any place I've found on Devon. I would highly recommend this place, especially since the BYOB feature makes the dining experience basically half price!
