    The store front
    Farah F.

    We had a quick stop over at this place and end up buying some items. The store is big...the grocery and dining areas are separate, which I really liked. We tried (brought to our hotel room) their goat biriyani, daal puri, chaa (milk tea) and 3 different sweets. Everything was delicious. Was also impressed with how all the items on the shelves were so neatly organized. The staff were friendly and helpful. Will go back to try other items.

    I put the full court press on Bangladesh https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hnAr60LhgavwgWYf1_2vLA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Formerly Mehfil many moons ago, Little Dhaka is a Bangladeshi/Bengali market & restaurant. The restaurant section is currently undergoing renovations, so "pardon the mess". Looking forward to scratching off another ethnic cuisine to try, I stopped by Little Dhaka for some pre-gym sustenance. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ycoCijtoRqy4aZVSgcI4gQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kBoiOf6dVUFVaf-EchXzew&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA The market has prepared food in chafing trays. The offerings mainly consisted of curry dishes. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9-StXDg67u-USPz6n_vUKA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA 2-item combo (masala chai included)- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ZQ5A2gS7ZIkuRGNl1eK-OQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Rohu kalia- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=D9ApIkA9G8X5oMx2IZjbiA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA I've read Bangladeshi cuisine is known for their fish dishes, so I knew I had to have the rohu kalia. Reminding me a bit of escabeche, rohu kalia is made with carp. The firm, white fleshed fish is fried & cooked in a simmer sauce. I enjoyed this entree, having some heat to it. Goat curry- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=vfGGo7lghm_lNvM3bsSKZw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA The winner for me. With heat that caused my head to sweat profusely, w/o burning out my palate, the goat curry wasn't overcooked. Being a lean meat, it often is when prepared, incorrectly. The meaty portion had enough fat, the savory sauce heavily spiced & hearty. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AA-PMwLJm2OF9JQpAYPU7g&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was fine. I paid for my food, which was quickly spooned onto the styrofoam plates, and I was promptly chowing down. Little Dhaka is located at the Artesia Towne Center, north of Jack in the Box. While the portions could've been more generous, I did enjoy my quick hot plate at Little Dhaka. For $10+, I had a satisfying meal of Bangladeshi/Bengali fare. The goat curry was the highlight for me, and I just might make Little Dhaka a regular stop for when I have designs for a meal to eat.

    A variety of stuff is available here since its a combination of groceries and their cooked food and authentic snacks. Food is delicious which includes vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The place seems a bit untidy and gets crowded, however, and a little bit of everything can be found here. Adding an additional check out counter will help.

    Chicken briyani
    Stacey K.

    This was my first time there and it did not disappoint. I had the goat curry and the chicken briyani. The goat was a little spicy, but I like spicy. It was my 2 year old that said it was spicy but yummy. She LOVED the chicken briyani. They didn't skimp on the portions. I have to thank my neighbor for the recommendation. I will definitely be back!

    Food was super old .beef also smell old rice Cold and very hard Customer service super bad as you see

    Rohu kalia
    Mursalin H.

    So, this is not the cleanest or fanciest restaurant. It is rather unclean. It is a grocery store and a deli and a cantina and a social hangout place for bengalis. Sweets are ok, they dont make dudh chai like they used to make back in the days. You can find better biriyani in LA. But if you are a fish lover, they have probably 20+ different kind of fish. For me, rui kalia is a luxury, like a good rib-eye. When I get this huge piece of rui pety, i almost get into nirvana. I sit down on my couch, distance myself from surrounding and enjoy this piece to the bone. It needs to be plated well and it will be on par with Michelin star restaurants.

We made sure to ask for mild spices (heat) since traditional Indian dishes can be real spicy! I ordered Chicken Ticka Massla and a vegetable dish while my wife ordered a potato stuffed bread. Although we ordered mild spice I have to say it was still a bit more heat than we are used to. It was good but expect to sweat and dive into some rice to curd the heat. We really enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning soon.

    Man, I really had high hopes for this place. We ordered the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken,…read moresaag aloo, garlic naan, white rice, and samosas to start. I'll start with the positives -- the samosas were actually really good. Great flavor, crispy texture, and the sauces they came with were excellent. Service was also great, and our server was very friendly and attentive. Now for the disappointing part. The garlic naan was super doughy and almost cake-like, which was not enjoyable at all. The butter chicken was overwhelmingly sweet to the point where it honestly tasted more like dessert than curry. The tikka masala was better, but it seriously lacked salt and flavor depth. The saag aloo was creamy, but overall pretty bland and forgettable. The biggest disappointment was the amount of chicken in both dishes. We were left with bowls full of sauce and barely any meat. It honestly felt like we paid for soup with a few pieces of chicken thrown in. We left feeling pretty ripped off, especially for the price. Maybe it was just an off night since they were busy, but based on this experience, we won't be coming back.

    The India Restaurant is located in Artesia on the block with all of the amazing Indian restaurants…read more My boyfriend and I were somewhat in the area, and we made a slight detour to explore the area. This was such a great spontaneous discovery. They have a small parking lot in the front where we parked, but then we saw later on that they also have additional parking in the back if you don' see spots in the front. Upon entering the staff was welcoming. The gave us a few tables to choose from that were cleaned and appropriate for 2 people. I just want to say service was impeccable our whole time there. Everyone on their team took turns checking on us, making sure our waters were refilled, and that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. So nice!! As we explored the menu, we saw the combination dinners that allowed us to get more variety, which we love. We both picked a different combo so we could share and try more things. My boyfriend enjoys tandoori so he went with the Mix Tandoori Grill ($26.95) that comes with an assortment of Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Seekh Kabab, Chicken Tikka, Fish Tikka served in a sizzling platter on a bed of onions with naan, rice, and gulab jamun. So much food! I picked the India Special ($24.95) which comes with chicken tikka, the choice of lamb or chicken curry which I opted for the chicken, veg, korma, raita, rice, naan, and gulab jamun. What a FEAST!! For the naan I asked for the garlic naan and it was INCREDIBLE. Wow! Might be THEE best Indian food I have ever enjoyed. Between the two of our orders I felt like I had the variety I have when I go eat at Indian buffets. My boyfriend loved the tandooris platter. All of the proteins were cooked perfectly. I assume they were prepped separately to get to the right cooking temp. So funny because my boyfriend was eating the rice while I was indulging in the naan. Dipping the naan in the curry and the korma. Nom Nom Nom! So fun and so delicious. My boyfriend was even saying this is one of the best meals he had in a while. I was so full when the gulab jamun dessert came out at the end but it was so delicious I still ate all of it. Without a doubt the best execution of this dessert I have ever had. We will definitely be back when we find ourselves craving Indian food.

The butter chicken is my favorite, I know it's the most basic b Indian food but everything I've tried has been awesome. Sangeetha's cooking has made me ok with trying some vegetarian food when I thought I'd never like any non meat-centric dish. Swing by, try something new or enjoy something old. Relevant - it's not super spicy, but that's ok to me, it's more accessible to people that might be turned off by excessive spice - I have some scorpion pepper powder that I add to bring the heat, and it doesn't hurt the flavor that I've come to love. They're not open Mondays, but hey - she deserves time off! A suggestion if I may - grab an extra bowl of butter chicken alongside whatever else you get, and throw a fried egg or two on top the next morning for breakfast. DOES NOT HAVE BANANAS! As a professional simian that is of note, but not a negative ;) There are random snacks I've never seen before, I've tried a few and have been happy with what I've sampled. The bottles of mango lassi are super tasty and for me, it helps my heartburn.

I probably will not be returning, but it wasn't bad. I think non-south Asians would really like it. Edit: I was going to delete my review, but I got a private message from the owner with a ton of attitude, asking me to take this down, but I don't feel like that's ethical. I don't think three stars is bad. So just to restate. The food is not bad. But I'm not going to take this review down because I don't feel like it's appropriate for the owner to message you privately with an attitude and try to strong-arm you into taking down the review. I have left plenty of reviews about restaurants in Little India, and not once as anybody messaged me with the tone that you have used with me. So I'm leaving it up. Live and learn. Edit: I got a notification that the owner continued to add to her comment, so to answer her questions, I don't remember what I got because it was several months ago, but I remember that it was just okay. It wasn't bad but your approach to dealing with your customers is. I don't think that Yelp has the option of messaging people so you can come at them with a shitty attitude and strong-arm them into trying to change their review. You're honestly just making yourself look worse.
