    Vegetable Korma, Crab Malabar, Garlic naan, Chicken Xacutti
    Tracy T.

    Interesting... That's the best way to describe this restaurant. We wanted to support local business and decided to try this based on the reviews of others. The service was amazing. I just want to say that off the bat. The folks that come to this place really love this place and that says a lot. So we decided to try some dishes we may not have ordinarily tried, and then one that is tried and true. We got the vegetarian korma, the crab, Malabar, and the chicken dish that was a fusion between Indian and Chinese food. The vegetarian Cormel was as expected for me, the flavor was great, I got it mild, and it was delicious. The crab Malabar... It just wasn't what I thought it would be. It was very saucy, which I like, but the crab flavor with the coconut just was not hitting. It was a little on the sweet side, which, if you eat blue crabs, you know that they're a bit on the sweet side. So that mix with the coconut that's kind of sweet just through me off. Again, it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good, nor would I get it again. Just not my thing even though I love crab. We also got this other chicken dish. That sounded interesting because any type of food fusion sounds interesting to me. But the taste just was not hitting. It literally tasted like a Chinese food dish, and the chicken pieces that were used weren't the best. Some or white meat somewhere dark meat, but the dark meat you seem fatty, and that was a turn off for me, the Flavor was just not hitting at all. It was weird, I'm pretty sure other people may have enjoyed it, but for me, it wasn't the best representation of fusion dish with what I thought the flavor should have been. Oh, this place is pretty nice and the customer service is just amazing. We definitely got the treatment, and I hate to ding the food but what we got just wasn't the best. The vegetarian korma was delicious but I have had better and we only tried three dishes and I probably wouldn't come back for the food unless someone was really adamant to want to come here. I think the crap Malibar dish is and the chicken fusion dish are really awesome ideas, but they just need to work on that flavor pallet because it's just not good. If they were able to improve that, this place would not get out the park. I have yet to be to an Indian food place that actually has a crab dish on it so I thought that was super interesting , but the execution needs to be a bit better. Just my two cents. Oh, and if you check in on yelp, you get 10% off, so check it out for yourself!

    Excellent service, the staff is super sweet and friendly. The food is on another level of good. Excellent flavors, cook to perfection. Ambiance is relaxed.

    My wife and I love this restaurant. We probably come here 2-3 times a month and we love the people who run it. Everything about this place is lovely and I absolutely recommend it to everyone. Food, service, and ambiance are all a 10/10.

    No longer a buffet

    In an uncivilized world of late it's nice to have a civilized place to enjoy a meal. White tablecloths, fine flatware, dishes and plates. Gentle music overhead at a nice volume. Exceptional service. You feel like you are at a friend's home. And then the food--- the traditional Indian dishes, appetizers and drinks are AWEsome. Today is my 4th visit and I am hooked. My Lamb Saag was perfect. Tender, juicy and authentic. The accompanying basmati was tasty. Naan- always good. If you truly crave real Indian food, Give Little India a try.

    Butter chicken
    Buonarotti G.

    Let me start off by saying the people here were very nice. However, the butter chicken was like no butter chicken I've ever seen or tasted before. It was very tomato. It was very red. It tasted completely different than anywhere. I've ever had it before the chicken was tender, but it was just not Butter chicken. The rice was following. The soup was OK. I don't think I'll ever go back there though.

    special biryani

    Little India Cafe is not my favorite Indian place. We have to cross the river and pay a toll to get food from here, and personally, I don't think it's worth it. But my boyfriend LOVES the house special biryani (LITTLE INDIA SPECIAL Flavored basmati rice with saffron & nuts & paired with chicken, lamb and shrimp.$19.95) so we had take-away last night because he's been having a hard couple of weeks. Last/First time we ordered from here I got chicken korma (Mildly spiced chicken in our creamy coconut curry with nuts and raisins), which is usually my favorite, but was so disappointing I never wanted to return again. The sauce was good, but the chicken was severely lacking, and when you can get better, elsewhere without paying a toll, I was thinking One&Done. Last night I got the tandoori chicken (Half bone chicken marinated overnight in yogurt and spices roasted in tandoor.$14.95), which is plentiful, affordable, and SO DRY. But, did you know that butter chicken was specifically invented to solve this problem? IT WAS! Look it up!! And, happily enough, butter chicken (Dark meat chicken cooked by tandoor with creamy tomato sauce) is my boyfriend's other fav, so I tore my chicken off the bone and threw it in the butter chicken sauce and everyone was delighted. Can't go wrong with a lassi (Homemade yogurt drink; Mango, Sweet, Salted and Strawberry.$3.95), though I haven't heard of options other than mango, and I am intrigued. The mango lassi with some vodka... get out of here... SO GOOD. I can't say that Little India won me over, but it was a good meal - mostly by coincidence. I'll still need some convincing to return, but it's possible.

    LITTLE INDIA CAFE Good: Service, food and good value Bad: For dining in, decor is drab, with down beat elevator music - this did not spoil my experience Naan bread - extra The Little India Cafe (located in the Expressway Shopping Center behind ALDIs [Glen Burnie] was a very present surprise. The food was delicious - flavorful with spice, and very fresh, fluffy rice. My mango lassie (yogurt smoothie) was colorful and not too sweet. My appetizer of fried mash potatoes was excellent - pairing the sauces is a must. Finally the chicken korma entree was savory and satisfying - big chunks of chicken in coconut, savory sauce. For you drinkers out there, they have a small but well stocked bar and reasonable cocktail prices. Had I not gotten the smoothie to try, my food would have been just over 20$ without tip and I have plenty for lunch tommorrow. They need to spruce up the place - upbeat energy, and more bright colors. This should tempt more people away from take out. Most certainly try this place - excellent meal.

With that said, this place is not for everyone. Sadly it was frustrating alone dealing with the parking situation. I parked so far away! Next, there was a band playing music, cool, but don't know any of their songs or the covers they were doing. The other room was 100% line dancing that if you didn't know it, you stayed off the dance floor and stand in place. There's a bull riding area that I saw a professional bull rider do tricks and that was cool and they intimidating. The drinks were really good and not overpriced! Star for that! And finally I just didn't have fun and I'm actually a dancer. I think you either love it or hate it. I didn't hate it, but I probably wouldn't come back again.

We love traveling to different line dancing communities, experiencing new places, and connecting with people through dancing. That's what makes situations like this so upsetting. Everyone deserves to feel welcomed and respected, regardless of their religion or appearance. The line dance world is a very connected community, and experiences like this naturally get talked about. I just hope this establishment reflects on the kind of environment they want to create moving forward, because this was deeply disappointing to hear about and unacceptable.

    Sidelines Bar & Grille - Great Cheesesteaks, Burger Didn't Hit…read more I've had the cheesesteak here twice on happy hour and it was great -- especially at the discounted price. That's what brought me back. Turns out Thursdays are burger special day instead, $3 off. The space is wide open with plenty of seating. Kids eat free on Tuesdays, which is a nice touch. This place can get rowdy during home games and late nights, but I've always had a good time here. Today I went with the All-Star burger -- cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle spear on a brioche bun. Asked for medium with mayo. It came open-face, and instead of spreading the mayo on the bun, it was squirted unevenly over the lettuce and tomato. That kind of set the tone. The burger itself? Dry. Bland. The brioche bun felt about a day away from stale. Nothing offensive, just completely forgettable. It was inexpensive on special, but it didn't move the needle for me. I'll still vouch for the cheesesteak. Return for the cheesesteak. Skip the burger.
