Had dinner at Little India in Glen Eden (birthday treat for me by family). We ordered heaps. Couldn't eat it all. Superb food. We asked to take away the leftovers, said it was too good to waste. Not a problem. The owner knew to nurture good customers who will come back is worth the little extra in providing boxes. And, after all, they do cater for takeaway meals.

I will be coming back as I see it does thalis. For an ex-pat Sri Lankan, these are comprehensive meals of rice, and a variety of curries. It's how we expect a meal to be.

Amazing food, service and ambience. I have no idea why its taken me so long to discover Little India. Ordered Tandoori chicken, onion bhaji,chicken kadai, lamb jhalfrezee and Aaloo Baingin. Best indian food i’ve had in awhile and the owners really looked after us and made our dining experience extra special. Will be returning.

We had a celebration with around 30 people and most people came up to me that the food was amazing. Everything was fresh and made from scratch! Very impressed! A bit on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.

Staff are very welcoming and kind, the restaurant has very dark mood lighting. Good bar. The tandoori share platter was very tasty. Different types of chicken and lamb with a mint yoghurt sauce. I had the buttered chicken mild, it was probably too mild next time I will level up on the spice. Naan was light and delicious a must, to dip in any curry sauce. Will be back again.

Had takeaway again last night and have yet to be disappointed. The Tandori for two is great as well as the butter chicken and saagwala. A lot better than the little India in town

First of all the store is kept soo tidy and clean, very contemporary in terms to design. Have tried nearly all things in the restaurant and been here few occasions one which was a private booking. The orders are always taken and then updated regularly on how long it will take to come. Prices are alright. Food itself is great, not oily like most other Indian outlets. Enjoyed eating and coming at night the store has a nice dim lot atmosphere which really adds to a great experience. Really like the staff, they take into consideration your spice requirements and they understand customer requirements. Will be back for sure.

No doubt the food is good but expansive  and the serving size is really small compared to the prices and  nothing could be smaller than the size of the serving dish.The service is good and the staff is friendly.

Just had my food delivered! Yum! Since moving here four years ago I have struggled to find a decent curry in west Auckland. These guys have fantastic food in comparison to most. Loved that not all the curries had sugar added to hide the authentic Indian spices and heat! Thank you guys.

I have eaten here many times and it is always a mile ahead of other Indian restaurants and somehow this time was even better again. The restaurants ambiance is nice enough but the food is exceptional. It is worth going out of your way to try this jem of Glen Eden.

Brilliant little Indian Place in the middle of Glen Eden. I think the prices are a tad high but the service is fantastic and the food has always been top notch. If you're in a hurry I wouldn't recommend as the wait time can be long but if you're on a night out it is simply perfect for catching up with old friends. I recommended the butter chicken, samosa, Garlic naan and Mango Lassi drink.

A group of us came to Little India on a rainy Thursday night. The restaurant looks great and we would have loved to have sat in the awesome circular booth seating but there was just a few too many of us.

We ordered a range of dishes. The dal makhani and mango chicken were standouts. I had the tandoori chicken with the chicken brought to the table still cooking in a mini "oven/tandoor" with the chicken on skewers. It looked amazing.

Little India have paid attention to the look and feel of the place, and the food matches up too. A great option in Glen Eden!

Had Takeaways from here delivered to the house, because we were in the area delivery only cost $4! It was for about 14 guests and we got a few curries and rice and each dish was delicious! And not to mention tasted fresh. We even had leftovers the next day. Can't go wrong. Will definitely order from here for a night in again soon and I would highly recommend this. We got chicken, lamb and the chicken saag particularly was yum and also had a flavoursome seafood bryani!

This place is a must try ! Their kadhai chicken and prawn malabari is finger licking good. By far my favourite Indian restaurant. Don't forget to try their cheese naan too ❤️

Really good authentic indian food. We went as part of a large group and tried many different dishes. All the kebab dishes are amazing and you can order them as mains. The Boti and Baara kebab were amazing. Will definitely be going back.

The food is excellent, good variety. Dining experience was really good too and great service. Only letdown was the time taken to bring the order in, other than that though great stuff.

We called a takeaway from Little India this weekend. Took a long time to get hold of them because they were super busy (good sign in my books).

We got a lamb pasanda, chicken kadai and a prawn malabari. We ordered them mild-medium. All of the meals were different, the kadai is quite dry curry full of flavour, and the prawn was great a perfect curry for prawns. Great portions full of meat, and rich flavours.

I would go again in a heart beat.

Probably the only descent Indian restaurant in this part of Auckland. But I can imagine this restaurant must be a very popular place. I went during noon for lunch and few tables were occupied. It took a while for someone to notice that I entered the restaurant. There after the service was good.
I ordered lamb batura and lasso from the lunch menu. The lassie was brought in less than 2 minutes which makes me think it was pre-prepared and refrigerated. But that's what most of the Indian restaurants do.
Batura was good. The lamb did lack some flavour.
But overall it was a good meal and might be back for more.
Verdict : Needs to be more customer friendly and focused.
Must try : not sure

Firstly i have to say that little india is just simply amazing!

walking in, the ambience was perfect for me and my partner. perfect amount of lighting and being able to look at the chefs while they're cooking i thought was a great idea to let customers interact with them.

also when i went little india was promoting a new special were you sign up as a member and receive a $20 voucher when you spend $60+ which was great because when your eating 3 courses, prices add up vey quick!

Before we ordered the waiter offered us some popadoms for free, and already had a jug of water to offer us. he was very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

i had ordered the tikka platter for two, 1 lamb rogan josh and 1 butter chicken and two soft drinks.
the flavours here for all meals just blew me away!! the freshness of the herbs sprinkled on top just makes all your senses come alive. the tenderness of the meat showed the meals were cooked to perfection. and the aromas i will never forget. 

absolutely amazing place to come for a first date if indian cuisine is a favourite.
also highly recommend everyone to at least try something other than butter chicken. although it is very yum try the other dishes there :)

awesome stuff Little India!!
valued customer right here :)

I'm sorry people didn't like this place because I think it's fine. For' Curry Friday' this is my first choice. Have eaten in and out and enjoyed both
I have to say that butter chicken probably isn't the best way to judge a curry house. The lamb pasanda is great as is the prawn malabari
The variety of starters is good as is the quantity.
Is this fine dining ? No. Is this a perfectly fine local curry house? Yes it is. Use your local restaurants or one day when you want them they won't be there.

Food is very good from my experience for over 5 visits.
Service is good and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere.
Pricing is somewhat of a let down, especially when taking into account other places in the area.
Would recommend

Awesome food and great, attentive service. I had lunch here earlier and it was some of the yummiest food I have eaten outside of India. I had the bhuna ghosht and my friend had the Vindaloo which he assured me was really good too. Highly recommended.

My family love indian food and Little India is the very best we've found. The curries are fresh and their ability to guage the heat you need is excellent. You can't compare the prices or curries to the generic restaurants that apply the same gravy over different meats. The Korma and Achurri dishes are sublime. The restaurant itself is well designed and welcoming. We had a party of 12 there on saturday night and the guys couldn't do enough for us. They gave us the big upstairs table, let us decorate, bring a cake etc. We started with drinks in the bar and ended with a feast that everyone loved. We will keep coming back.

After making reservations at Athidi, Parnell & finding place had closed down we drove from Parnell to Glen Eden to Little India. With no booking, place packed, two hungry boys and being fathers day we didn't think we would get a table. I couldn't thank the staff at Little India for coming to the rescue and making the impossible possible and us getting a booking. The service was excellent, staff friendly and the food, well I can say its the best Indian I've had in a long time. Thank you Little India for not disappointing two young boys to a meal with there dad on Father's Day. Would recommend a visit to this restaurant and try the lovely food and the excellent service. Thank you again Little India.

Well, to begin with in simple words is to say that I am just loving it. Started as going out in bits to going out a lot to Little India, Glen Eden is enough to say that the meal,  service, location, friendly but professional staff and quality is what makes it happen.

The service was top notch! I was seated and served within minutes of arriving. There is a muted atmosphere inside without all the garish and typical Indian decorations. The food was fine. I was just craving an aloo paratha, but decided to order a kulcha as well. It was piping hot and quite good.

Visited the restaurant today and totally satisfied with the food and service. Requested one curry to cook on high flame and make it smoky and they literally done it very well. Worth visiting and highly recommend. Thank you.

The flavors are absolutely amazing here! I ordered their customer's favorite curry and my partner had the Korma. Both full of flavor and fresh ingredients. We are both looking forward to our next visit so we can try more of the tempting dishes! Entrees we had samosas and pakoras both tasted authentic and not drenched in oil like other places, fresh and crisp. Finally to top it off the customer service was friendly, well timed and made a good effort to check up on us :) Sweet you guys soon!!

Great customer service, very friendly. Amazing food. Go all out and get garlic naans, mango lassie, puppadoms, raiita and Chilli chutney,but be warned the Chilli chutney is rock fuel and don't do what my partner did and eat half a teaspoon at once, I tried to warn her. I dance around the kitchen with the heat, was great! You've been warned 🌶😎

Being a Pom it is always difficult to find a good curry house in Nz. This one is right up there. Great menu and all cooked to order. Staff and service excellent. I highly recommend. Can’t fault tandoori Chicken or even the mushroom version. Dopiaza and Jalfrezi my favourites and the great Vindaloo and madras.

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Little India Restaurant in Glen Eden and I must say, it was a wonderful experience. The food was simply delicious - every dish we ordered was bursting with authentic Indian flavors and spices. However, what really made the evening special was the exceptional service provided by Bobby and his team. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly conversation. Bobby's knowledge of the menu was impressive, and he was happy to make recommendations based on our preferences. Throughout the meal, our glasses were never empty and our plates were cleared promptly. The staff seemed genuinely invested in ensuring that we had a great experience, and we certainly did. I highly recommend Little India Restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Indian cuisine and fantastic service. Thank you, Bobby and your great team, for making our night out a memorable one."
