Very good food. We had the potato dosa with bharita, very good mains and when I was unsure of the vermicilli dessert, i was given a tester. Will most certainly go back.
This is a Durban gem situated in the heart of the Berea. The food, service and ambiance are outstanding and the prices very reasonable. The wine list is limited, but sufficient for the needs if you are not too pretentious.
UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE! I have travelled and eaten all over the world and have never experienced such delicious food cooked to perfection. Despite, the incredible food, my son from Cape Town was down and requested a rare indian dessert - which they obliged and prepared especially for him! Although it was a takeout order the food was packed neatly and attention to detail , we will certainly dine there after lockdown and wish Management the best. Warm regards, Mrs. Vijay Naidoo.
This restaurant serves delicious and flavorful Indian food at a reasonable price. The menu is extensive, with a wide variety to choose from. I really enjoyed my paneer tikka masala, which was tasty with a good amount of spice. My parents raved about their lamb korma. Service was friendly and efficient, and I will definitely be returning for my fix of authentic Indian curry.
Whenever we visit Durban, we must have a meal at Little India. The decor and cutlery is not my style. However, everything is clean and neat. AND, the food is always good. Our last visit in May 2019, we had the lamb tikka prepared in the tandoori oven and fish biryani...both were superb! What a satisfying meal.
My family and I had dinner on a Saturday. The service was good. Our food arrived in good time and everything was delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes and all shared. Food prices are slightly high and we were astonished to pay R15 for a teeny tiny bowl of sambal salad. Unfortately we could not have dessert as the restaurant was too cold and it was becoming very uncomfortable. But I will still return - for the food, ambiance and the clean and tidy washroom.
Went with my family and we tried various dishes. All were dishes were very good and delicious. Service was good but not excellent. Would definitely recommend this place and would go back again
Best dosa’s in Durban. Lots of variety on offer (Paneer is my personal Favorite:-) )Great place for families to get together. The masala tea is flavorful and comforting.
Excellent food and great service!
I had the best butter chicken and naan I’ve had in years! Also tried the vermicelli for dessert which was very good, not too sweet.
The restaurant has a warm atmosphere. Jaya is a lovely host and I’d go back any day!
We ordered Rogan Josh, Sugar bean bunnies , tandoori chicken and paneer. We also had some plain naan on side. It was AWESOME!! Every curry tasted unique, flavoursome and absolutely delicious. Their hot is hot, more so than in Cape Town, so if ur used to Cape Curry be warned!! We had friendly service and the pricing is very reasonable. Will be back when in Dbn again!

I'd give them 10 stars if it were possible. Absolutely amazing! Great stuff, quick service and a pleasant atmosphere. Oh my gosh - the food is out of this world. Best curry I've had in a while!!
Great service - very helpful and accomadating staff, and overall a lovely relaxing atmosphere (good for both lunch and dinner). Food was also very good and portion sizes were ample (very filling meals).
We were so warmly welcomed by the staff, beautiful restaurant. It's so spacious, neat, cozy. Lovely outdoor seating area. The owner is very friendly. The food was good. The Malaysian chips was lovely and the Manchurian Mushroom was perfectly seasoned...tangy and sweet with a slight crunch from the spring onions. The Naan's were delicious...crispy and warm, perfect to soak up the gravy. Waiter, Nono was so sweet and her menu knowledge was amazing. She made some really good suggestions. Lovely experience.
My cousin took me to their favorite spot.. Now I know why.
I gad the prawn and chicken Breyani, beautifully fresh and large prawns were a delight.
My niece enjoyed the butter chicken curry and my cousin had the prawn and chicken curry. Everything was delicious, we enjoyed the soji also.
Very friendly staff 🙏
Authentic Indian Cuisine. We really enjoyed our meal here. The service was fast and friendly and our food arrived nice n hot. The menu is very diverse so loads to choose from. I highly recommend the Veg Thali - a wonderful array of delicious flavours.
I did think the lighting was too bright and harsh. Personally I prefer softer, warm light in a restuarant. This restaurant has bright cool light.
Also there were times when people went outside to smoke and didn’t close the door properly which meant their smoke was blowing in.
Little India is a fantastic restaurant. The food is as good as when I was in Kolkata. The portions are huge, and the staff are extremely helpful. Good prices, and lots of vegetarian options. A limited wine selection, but they do serve alcohol. Next time I am in Durban I will come back for sure.
This little gem of a place has amazing food..... But it starts off great from the time of making the reservation! The kindness when you call, to receiving a call on the day you will be going to the restaurant..... A warm welcome on arrival..... Lovely waiters and waitresses including uncle Jaya and the other lovely people. They go out of their way to check on you, making sure your meals arrive timeously.... The food is amazing.... And the desserts are heavenly...... And if you have a special event, like my mom celebrated her 60th a while ago, they went out of their way to make it memorable with a lovely dessert!! And upon leaving you are thanked for your support..... If you looking for a good Indian meal, please go to Little India in Musgrave!! Their Thalis are delicious, and curries are phenomenal
We were only in Durban one night, and it was important to us to have some of the delicious, authentic Indian food that the city is known for. We researched a number of different restaurants, and this one fit the bill in every category. The Rocket Masala Dosai with sambar, tomato, and coconut chutneys was fantastic, and the Broadbean Bunny Chow with a side of shredded carrot salad was equally so. All of the flavors were so incredibly authentic that it made my Indian food resonator go off! We sat on the balcony enjoying our beer and wine after the meal and loved the whole experience from start to finish.
If you are ever feeling under the weather, then I highly recommend trying their rassam. It is so good for when you have a cold / flu and want something to speed up the recovery.
Also phone ahead and ask them about their parking area, so you don't have to park on the road.
I absolutely loved every part of this restaurant! The food was incredible, the service was friendly the restaurant itself is very well presented and definitely is family friendly! There is a very well equipped baby change room which makes this a very highly recommended spot in my opinion!
The curry was really good and I will highly recommended The Little India to anyone!
The only critique I did have was that the incense that they burn in the restaurant is a little bit strong for someone who is not used to the smell, I was however able to open up the windows on the balcony where we were sitting and this helped a lot. So still very highly recommended 🌻
The food was absolutely wonderful. The service was 5 star. As you can see the waitress was helping wash my hands. She was great. I highly recommend the Little India.
Cindy and Rui were excellent from booking to parking to advice on the meal choice to payment and escort to our car. An overall 5 star experience. Delicious!! Do choose them for an unforgettable experience without breaking the budget.
