About
The curries here have a habit of pulling travelers back for a second round — two separate reviewers report returning within the same trip. Everything is cooked from scratch by the young Indian chef-owner, down to the homemade paneer: lamb korma, fish madras, tandoori butter chicken, an eggplant dish for vegetarians. The naan, garlic or onion, comes out flaky, and the mango and cardamom lassis earn mentions of their own. Dishes take time to arrive; one reviewer calls the wait worth it. Delivery runs through Rapido, and the kitchen closes Tuesdays.

Little India is the best restaurant in Dominical and an absolute must-visit. Honestly, it’s the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to—and I say that as a picky French chef who has traveled to India many times and tried countless Indian restaurants. I was truly impressed by the quality and freshness of every single dish. We went twice during our stay and tried the lamb korma, chicken masala, fish madras, and a vegetarian eggplant dish—all absolutely delicious. We were blown away by the tenderness of the meat, the depth of the spices, and the perfect balance of flavors. The onion naan is incredible—a must-try! And the two lassis—one mango and one cardamom—wow. So refreshing and perfectly balanced. The chef is a young, talented Indian, and everything is made fresh, including the homemade paneer. Highly, highly recommended!
Genuinely some of the best Indian food I’ve had. It took some time to get to us but honestly it was worth the wait. I ordered the tandoori butter chicken with basmati rice & garlic naan. This is one of those places that sets the standard for exceptional food. I’m definitely gonna try to eat here again when I’m back.
Honestly the chef / owner can cook a bloody good curry - you must try this place if you’re passing or in dominical. Everything is cooked from scratch bursting with flavour. 10/10 we even went two nights in a row it was that GOOD!
