Little Spice
Reviews of Little Spice
from GoogleTried their chicken korma and chilli chicken, and honestly… flavour game was strong. Both dishes were spot on and did exactly what they were supposed to do. Honey chilli potatoes though? Yeah, that one didn’t really impress — kinda forgettable. But the papdi chaat came in clutch and totally saved the snack round. Overall, more hits than misses, and I’d definitely go back for the chaat and mains again 😄🍛
Little Spice absolutely lives up to its name — subtle heat, massive flavor, and a soul-warming experience from start to finish. The Fish Tandoori was pure artistry. It was so tender it melted at the slightest touch, infused with spices that didn’t overpower but instead opened the palate beautifully. The sauces were perfectly balanced — gently spiced, rich, and surprisingly comforting. Being a lamb enthusiast who has explored many Indian and Pakistani restaurants, I decided to try the Lamb Rogan Josh. I was genuinely blown away. The lamb was unbelievably tender, literally melting in my mouth, and the depth of flavor felt almost indescribable. It was one of those rare dishes where every bite feels like discovering something new — warm, complex, and deeply satisfying. The service was incredibly kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was calm, elegant, and relaxing. It truly feels like the perfect place for a special occasion — or simply a night when you want to treat yourself to something exceptional. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and experience offered. My only concern after sharing this review is that I might have to wait in line for a table next time… but honestly, it would be worth every second.
Terrible experience. I've been eating Indian food consistently for the last 22 years and although I'm not expert, I can tell a Tikka Masala from a Napolitan sauce. Here's how they lost a few stars in my awful to-go experience: 1. I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and I didn't get that. I got a few pieces of paneer in a very watery, red, bland liquid. It wasn't thick as Tikka Masala should be, there was absolutely no cream, no butter, no masala... The spices were faint and the texture horrible. 2. The Veg Pakora was ok in taste, but wasn't fresh. A few pieces were worst than the other... Dry and hard... Maybe left overs from the buffet 3 hours earlier? 3. When they gave me the bags with the food, I asked for Achaar (pickled mango) which is complimentary everywhere I've been. Now Achaar is something that you normally buy in a big container or have it already prepared and cold. I was shocked first when she charged me for it (almost $4, again, I've never been charged for it ever) and second when she told me I had to wait 5 minutes for it (restaurant was empty except for me and a single sitting guest). I just told her not to bother and left. I'm still not sure if she really understood what I wanted even though I explained what it was. There was no offer to refund the money for the mysterious Achaar. 45 dollars later and I'm regretting my choice. I don't even know why I'm leaving 2 stars.
I made a phone call to order something, a guy picked up the phone . I have asked what is in the menu my friend? He replied very rudely, you can check on line menu I am busy I am not going to read entire menu to you. I felt bad but I thought he might be having a rough day therefore I asked do you have lentils? He replied only yellow. Then I asked, do you have sag, he said no. I took a pause thinking O man what should I order, while I was thinking He said you have got to be quick I have to close the restaurant. I told him man this kind of attitude will take your business no where. He said I don’t have time for this BS you can order somewhere else. Then he Hung up the phone. I have seen bad costumer services in my life but this one was the worst one. No courtesy to customers, no politeness as well as no humanity.
Been going here since they opened. Favorite Indian food in town! Great job Boss!
I ordered three dishes , they used same curry for all three dishes What a waste of money No taste at all
My friend and I worked up an appetite shopping nearby and wanted to try this restaurant out because it was close by. What a great find!! I have eaten and cooked Indian dishes before and always stick to what I know. But today I ordered a new experience for me, I ordered Haleem & now its my new favorite! With Naan bread close by it was just about as delicious as I've ever had. We also ordered the Lamb Biryani and there was many pieces of tender lamb enveloped in the savory little spicy rice. Sorry I didn't get pictures.....we dived in too fast! Shopping was hard work! I did take a photo of the menu page just so I could remember what I ordered. Haleem.....its definitely a new favorite. Highly recommend this restaurant!!
Great food ! Delicious!!!
Best samosa I have had in a while ile. I can tell from the crust that it was so fresh. This place will be my goto.
Food here is excellent! I've had dinner here a couple of times and both times the experience was great. A bottle of cold water on each table, nice music and quiet atmosphere. Would highly recommend this little restaurant.
Beautiful environment very delicious food and excellent service staff is very polite and nice. I love the food it’s so good. Would love to visit again and again. Highly recommended.
About Little Spice
Indian and Pakistani counter inside The Brick furniture store on Macleod Trail SW, serving halal food.
What to order
Lunch and dinner specials are the core of the menu, with butter chicken and biryani as the anchors. The chicken korma, chilli chicken and papdi chaat are the dishes diners praise most, and the Lamb Rogan Josh and Fish Tandoori are good choices if you want something special. The haleem has its fans too, and diners say the samosas are very fresh.
Before you go
Most diners are happy with their food, and say there are more hits than misses. If you are phoning in an order, look at the menu online first, so you can call with your choices ready. Dining in is calm, with cold water on each table and quiet music. There are vegetarian options, and reservations are taken, which is worth doing for a group.
