What do you get when you mix four brothers from the Selvarasa family with hard work and quality ingredients? A mighty fine butter chicken. At Little India in the Queen West neighbourhood, family, food and sharp service are central to the restaurant’s long success.
Sriharan Selvarasa was 16 when his dad, Nalliah, opened the North Indian Punjabi-style restaurant. And he learned quickly the key tenants of success. “It’s a lot of work, time and dedication,” says Sriharan. Luckily there are many Selvarasas to share that work. “Family is the reason we’re here.”
Along with his brother Thaneswaran, Sriharan was passionate about service from the very beginning. He believes it’s the details that matter. “Even the way you present a menu sends a message to the customer,” he says. “If you have good food, but bad service, no one is going to come.”
The other half of the Selvarasa siblings found a passion in the kitchen. Nithiyananthan and Sathiyaseelan ensure that what comes out of the kitchen matches the quality of the service.
Even though the brothers now run Little India, it doesn’t mean the parents have retreated completely. Mrs. Selvarasa still makes the desserts. And Dad? “He looks for mistakes and points them out. Inside, he’s proud,” says a chuckling Sriharan. “He grew up on farms in a big family without much money. They had to work hard so he’s old school.”

Authentic Indian Food!
THIS PLACE REALLY CAPTURES THE AUTHENTIC TASTE OF INDIA !!! THIS RESTAURANT IS THE ONE AND ONLY PLACE THAT IS A REMINDER OF INDIA WHILE YOUR IN CANADA! THE FOOD IS EXTREMELY FRESH,THE TASTE IS SENSATIONALY FROM THE MEAT DISHES TO THE VEGGIE DISHES RIGHT DOWN TO DESSERT!!! AFTER FINISHING YOUR MEAL YOU FEEL A BOOST OF ENERGY AND THE STAFF ARE SUPER NICE AND FRIENDLY. I RECOMMEND THIS PLACR TO ANY VEGAN OR NON VEGAN PERSON AND MOST AMAZINGLY THE PRICES ARE VERY AFFORDABLE FOR QUALITY AND QUANTIT
I took my parents here for dinner and everyone loved it. The Naan bread was soft and warm and fresh, the chicken and vegetarian dishes we ordered all had distinct flavours and tasted excellent. The sauces were rich and creamy without being too oily or greasy. The food portions were generous and we left "full" ... actually we all ate too much because it tasted so good. The server must have poured me 6 glasses of water throughout our meal! Little India Restaurant has a great small town vibe in the heart of the big city. There's another Indian restaurant right next door but this is the one to go to. Make sure you get a reservation.
Had a chicken curry and a salad today. The chicken...well...one word: Yuck. The bread was dry and the edges of the insides were crusty, the spinach was wet and wilty, leading me to believe that they didn't make it "fresh" as they advertise. This curry and rice was at least a day old. Speaking of day old, that salad was mushy and watery and looked as though it'd been cut the day before or something. Again, not the "fresh seasonal fruit" that is advertised. The resto is dirty and not broomed and its supposed to be authentic indian. The girl at the cash was boring. What a place
Our meal started off with the veggie appetizer plate and it was fairly good. The onion bhajia and pakora were terrific but I was fairly indifferent to the samosa and spring roll. Our mains were phenomenal. The bhuna beef could've used a bit more chili pepper but the dish came piping hot and the meat was literally melting in our mouths. The vegetable jalfrezie was very fresh but the highlight of our meal was without doubt the prawn masala. The sauce had a nice spicy heat to it and the prawns were perfectly cooked (too many times have I eaten rubbery prawns at restaurants). I would go back just for that dish alone. The rice and naan were spot on. For dessert, the rasmalai was almost startlingly sweet but it was nothing to complain about. With a piping hot cup of chai, it was the perfect way to end our meal. I was really impressed with the service considering how crazy-busy it was that day (all 3 floors were packed). I would love to come back to eat here for sure.
