About Little India Restaurant & Bar - 6th Ave.

With a menu that's earned the restaurant four wins for Best Indian on CityVoter's A-List since 2007, Little India is the product of Simeran Baidwan's passion for native cooking. At the original outpost on 6th Avenue and at newer locations on Downing Street and 32nd Avenue, fresh ingredients and scratch-made sauces combine to form house favorites such as lamb korma, chicken tikka masala, and shrimp vindaloo. A roster of tandoor-fired meats take on the smoky flavor of the oven's mesquite charcoal, and sides of fresh-baked naan arrive unadorned, sprinkled with garlic, or stuffed with onions and spices. Meals unfold in dining rooms adorned with sleek seating arrangements, festive Indian artwork, and illuminated bar displays that depict the ancient creation myth of the gin and tonic.
