Little India Cafe at Hikes Point

Went again for lunch today, the chicken curry wasn't a fluke, it really is that good! We bemoaned the fact that there wasn't "cosmos salad" on the buffet, and bless their hearts they brought us some out from the kitchen, they are so eager to please. This dessert is really yummy, think Waldorf except no marshmallows and a yogurt saucey base...not too sweet and very tasty. It's in McMahan plaza in the south east corner of the mall, easy to miss...follow your nose!!

We had dinner there and DH thinks it's better than DakShin. I'd say close. Has virtually no ambiance, however. The food is like if your best friend was Indian and you were invited over for dinner when his mom was cooking. Home cooking in a very, very good way.

I have to agree with Leah and her DH...I love this place, and actually prefer it over Dakshin's buffet. She hit the nail on the head by describing it as home-cokked Indian food.

My wife and I had the buffet for lunch on Saturday and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was fresh and tasty. The buffet featured some of the usual suspect (please excuse my mis-spelling) of chana masala, chicken curry, aloo gobi, naan, etc. along with a delicately (not too hot, but a bit of warmth and various Indian flavors) spiced dish of chicken and green peppers, a lemon / rice dish and more. This was all fantastic. On Saturday they feature chicken briyani, and it is the best briyani that I've ever had. The owner told us that on Sunday they do lamb briyani.

The family running the place is very kind and are really looking for more business. They made a point to tell us that, like in India, they do not use any heavy cream in their dishes...insinuating that some other loacl Indian places do. I believe he said he wanted to treat his customers to food that they would not only enjoy the taste, but also be good for them and filling...he really wants people to enjoy what they are eating and want to return! They are kind of hidden in that Hikes Point shopping center, but this place is well worth checking out. The food is great.

The ambiance is minimal, but the food made up for it. They also do carry-out. I hope this place can gain some support! DD

Today I had another amazing lunch at the Little India Cafe. They had okra on the buffet, and it was the best okra I have ever tasted. If you don't like okra, you should try theirs, I am sure you can be convereted. I am seeing lots of comments posted, but the owner keeps telling me that business is still very slow. Please make it a point to try this place & then make it a regular stop in your schedule. Their food is the real deal, a foodies dream.

Hey! One of the local food reviewers should publish a review of the place!!

Just an idea.

Incredible.

I went for the first time to sample various dishes during Friday's Buffet and not one of them was a disappoint. Spinach Chicken Chicken Tandori were the 2 main selections during this trip. The white RICE itself was so good; I could have eaten then entire pan. Light and not one single clump. The naan was fantastic, but made sure not to eat a great deal as to fill my stomach to fast.

Funny note- I had been speaking with the younger lady who generally operates the register and works the FOH. At least, I THINK, she would be the person. We started to speak and I asked about dishes they offered that would launch the Space Shuttle. Ok, I didn't put it that way. I asked about their spicier dishes. She rattled off a couple I can't recall because I have an awful memory. BUT to my surprise, as I was getting ready to leave after paying at the counter, the mother? came from the kitchen with a small sampling of one the spicier dishes. I loved it.

Now, I'm going into a food coma.

We finally made it to Little India Cafe today for lunch. We were the first customers , they were still getting the buffet set up but were very gracious.The owner,an older gentleman, took alot of time with us.
We enjoyed every bite. I took small portions so I could sample as much as I could but still will need to return soon to try more...no problem looking forward to the next time already.

We were there today for the lunch buffet too!

And we ate dinner there last night.

My mouth was still watering after I had left the buffet. I was not use to eating a meal from any cuisine that presented such distinction of flavors.

"Spinach Chicken? I'm not going to like.....OMG...I love it..."

Yes. It was kind of like this for my taste buds throughout the entire meal.

Ok...I'm slow but I made it today for a buffet lunch. OMG it's really good.....especially the vegetarian items. Eggplant with potatoes, cabbage, chickpeas masala....tasty.

They need better bread....what was out wasn't nan. The tandoori chicken didn't taste like tandoori chicken...I'm guessing they don't have a real tandoori oven in the restaurant.

Minor quips really....what a deal. I'm gonna be a regular.

Had dinner there last night, it was wonderful.

The man (The owner, i assume) was overly nice, and could tell he's really looking for business & very proud of their food.

He asked how I heard about it, and I told him this website, and that he was getting great reviews by most everyone. He didn't seem to know about it, so I wrote the web address down on a card for him, and told him to check it out...


Chicken curry for me, Chicken Masala for my lassie......both were awesome! Will definitely be back.

Where exactly is this in Hikes Point?

It's in the same shopping center as Kroger on Breckenridge Lane. It's very close to Cici's Pzza (blech), and Fitness Factory.
