Little India Restaurant in Carrickfergus

Always a beautiful meal served to us no matter when we go nothing is too much trouble fr the excellent staff we had a meal with my brother and sister in law food served at the highest of standards xx

Honestly, the best Indian food I ever had. Portions big enough to take packed leftovers. Amazing service, very nice people. Offered us free sambuca shots before we left

We popped in after a day out in the hope we could get a table without booking. As it was a bit earlier than a 'normal tea time' we were seated with no problem; I don't know what it would've been like if we turned up at 7pm. We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in, given menus and time to have a quick look before a waiter came over to take our drink order; the drinks arrived promptly. Enough time was left for us to choose from the extensive choices, my husband always has a few questions regarding ingredients and the waiter was knowledgeable enough to reassure him the chef would be mindful. My husband had a Vindaloo and I had a Vegetable Korma. The food arrived in good time, hot, and smelling divine, and placed on a heated server. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful, I couldn't eat all of mine, but I didn't want it to go to waste, so I asked to take it home. The waitress took it and returned it in takeaway containers, and I certainly enjoyed it for lunch the next day! The serving staff were attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely be returning, even though it's a good 30/40 minutes from where we live!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was efficient. Food clearly all freshly cooked. It was really good and value for money. Highly recommend.

Visited on Saturday night with my wife. Great food and service as usual. Given time between courses. Owners always have time for a chat.

Food everything from starters to mains side was beautiful, Staff friendly and nothing was a problem. Very clean restaurant. Prices were standard for a Indian restaurant and portions were very good, kids meals were big.

This is my favourite restaurant. It's like coming home. The food and service are second to none. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Very stylish clean restaurant with lovely peaceful ambiance. Service was extremely cordial and professional. The food was delicious: I tried one of the chef’s specials, monkfish in curry sauce and loved it. Definitely recommend.

We've eaten here several times, and each time it's been a lovely meal - highly recommended.

Booked a table though the website. Received confirmation of the booking . Arrived a few minutes before 8pm. Was told they were setting up our table and to wait by the bar. We were not offered a drink while we were waiting. 20 minutes later we left as we still hadn't been taken to our table. How long does it take to lay out a couple of knives and forks? If they took our booking they should have had our table ready for us at the appointed time.

Great place and the food is excellent. I can recommend the Lamb Jalfreizi and the mushroom rice. Great menu and the complimentary aperitifs went down a treat. Free parking and not too busy weekdays.

The staff are very friendly and polite. The atmosphere and decor was very relaxing. We chose the early diner menu which was 3 courses plus a drink. The food was well presented and looked as good as it tasted. Could not find fault with any part of the experience, would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

Had a lovely meal here, staff very helpful and great service all around. Always a good meal to be had here for all the family

Amazing restaurant. All dishes were brilliant. Service was excellent and the restaurant is nicely furnished. This is without doubt one of the best Indian restaurants we have visited.

Every time I'm working in Northern Ireland I make a b line for Little India. The food is always epic, and the staff are amazing

Little India is one of my personal favourites. This particular visit was amazing. It is always clean with high quality crockery and cutlery. The service is courteous and prompt but most of all the food is excellent.

Top class Indian Restaurant. The food is gorgeous and the service is excellent.

Definitely one of the most authentic Indian restaurants in Northern Ireland, I make sure to visit Little India regularly for the best Indian dishes. The staff are second to none when it comes to customer service and the menu is varied enough to satisfy people of all palettes. 😊

Rare to post a review, but this place deserved a mention. As soon as we were sat down, we were offered poppadoms (not subsequently charged for these), and waiter was attentive throughout, and even asked us if we wanted a 10-15 min break between courses. The starter and mains were delicious and a very reasonable cost compared to what I am paying these days - thoroughly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic. No better two words. The food, the ambience, the service. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thomas - you know how to run an excellent service, above standard food and presentation, and above all else, how to treat regular customers. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out big time.

One of my best meals yet in Little India. Food was flavoursome and beautifully presented, well done chef. Ambience was superb and the staff were as attentive and friendly as ever. See you soon.

My family and I went to Little India to celebrate the successful completion of Chartered Accountant exams by a family member and we are so glad we did. The food was excellent and was served to us by friendly, professional staff who helped to make the evening very memorable. Thank you to all at Little India.

Excellent food and excellent staff would definitely recommend if you enjoy Indian cuisine if you enjoy fantastic staff this is definitely the place for you

Fantastic food and ambience. I’ve brought my wife to Northern Island for a birthday treat, and we stumbled on this venue on the journey from Belfast to tonight’s Air BnB. We lucked out to see the Battle of the Boyne parades this evening, and then lucked out even more to find this gem. Top notch Indian dining serving my favoured Tandoori chicken dish to perfection. Highly recommended!

Lovely authentic indian restaurant in a nice area

Equity of food not as good as previously

Visitors to the town for one night. Tried this place on a whim and we weren't disappointed. We got 4 fabulous meals, nicest Indian food we have had in a long time. Great service and lovely staff.

Ordered Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka chilli masala, Peshwari nan, pilau rice. Wait half hour. Took food home only to find the chicken tikka chilli masala was minus the chilli. Inattentive server! However, no sooner did I post the review, was the owner on line to correct the mistake. Great food and a lovely atmosphere. .

My daughter and her 3 friends from 6th year at carrickfergus grammar were given exceptional service and food for her birthday. She came home and was extremely complimentary on the entire experience. Thank you all so much xx

Amazing food and great staff! Love that they give you a Baileys or Sambuca on the house at the end! Veggie dishes are very tasty. My fav is the Garlic Chilli Masala.

Our favourite Indian in Carrick! Staff always go above and beyond! The food is absolutely outstanding. Thanks so much.

Outstanding food and service. Cosy atmosphere staff couldn't do more for you. Free shot always a treat **************

I have dinner in little India at least once during every business trip I have to Northern Ireland. The food is always amazing, and that's coming from someone who lives in Leicester with hundreds of Indian restaurants. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. Roll on July when I'm back again. See you soon little India

All the food served to us was delicious. The individual sauces were obviously made lovely and fresh and full of flavour. The staff were all very polite and friendly. The unfortunate part of this review is that we live in England and we won't be able to visit the restaurant as often as often as we would like. First class restaurant!!

The food is amazing and the staff are so friendly. Really a pleasure of a place to go too

Very impressive meal last night on our first visit on a windy monday evening - one of the most enjoyable Indian starters I have had! (chicken puri) and tangy balti exotica as main course. Better half had a somewhat unusual Indian starter of duck spring rolls :) which were lovely! The service was excellent and we will certainly visit again

Absolutely fantastic service. Friendly and accommodating, food is great. Clean and spacious. Nicest madras ever. 5/5

Celebrated my brother's birthday here last Sunday. ..Great food . brilliant service .and the complementary Bailey's was welcomed ..I hope to revisit soon .

Enjoyed my birthday dinner with family last night and the food was beautiful, along with great service it makes for a great night. Would recommend the tapas started for 2 to 4 people, great variety, freshly cooked, quality ingredients and amazing taste! Our main courses were all gorgeous, as are the sides (special pilau, mushroom pilau and garlic nann.) Complimentary poppadoms with dips on arrival and a complimentary sambuca at end of our meal was a lovely touch. If you like Indian food, Little India is hard to beat.

Lovely meal as always, never disappoints. Friendly and helpful staff. Good choice for vegetarian and includes tofu, not just mixed vegetables. Highly recommend.

As an Indian usually I don’t like most of the foods served in Indian restaurants in Ireland and try to stay away from them. I visited little Indian recently as I didn’t find any other place near by and surprisingly the food was really good and authentic. I had chicken poori and chicken tikka chilli. Will go back again

Really nicely decorated,modern restaurant. There is plenty of free parking. Food was nice,service was great and we really enjoyed the surroundings. Well worth a visit if your in the area.

Very pleasant staff. Food tasted authentic and portions were LARGE. Would highly recommend

Excellent friendly service. Delicious food. I would recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable authentic Indian meal. Thank you

Excellent food and service. Spacious restaurant, all staff made us feel welcomed. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Very Very disappointing .New to the area , ordered a Chicken Jalfrezi .Received a Chicken TIKKA Jalfrezi and one in a creamy sauce not savoury.Phoned to say they made a mistake and no apology given .DO NOT recommend

Great food, well presented by friendly staff. We have been trying different restaurants in the area and this is one of our top choices. Definitely worth more visits.

what a beautiful restaurant, the staff are so friendly and the food is divine 👍👍

The best Indian in NI without a doubt

Tucked away off the main road , we visited this wonderful restaurant last night (Friday 2-2-24) and think this is our new go to place for Indian food! Relaxing atmosphere, with friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Food was excellent. Coming from Birmingham, the home of the Bati this had a lot to live up to and it didn't disappoint! We both highly recommend this little gem!

Just popped in for a takeaway ,but fantastic staff and superb food. Looking forward to going back and sitting in for a meal.

Embarking on a delightful culinary journey in Carrickfergus, I found myself at Little India—a hidden gem boasting an array of enticing dishes. I kicked off my gastronomic adventure with the Delicious Duck Spring Rolls, a crispy delight that unfolded into an explosion of savoury goodness with each bite. Following this mouth-watering starter, I delved into the Aromatic Lamb Biryani—a true masterpiece of flavour and fragrance. The tender lamb, perfectly seasoned with aromatic spices, mingled with fragrant basmati rice to create a symphony of tastes that lingered on the palate. The atmosphere at Little India was as inviting as the cuisine, with warm lighting and the subtle aroma of spices in the air. It was a culinary escapade that transformed a simple meal into a memorable experience, leaving me eager to explore more of the hidden culinary treasures in Carrickfergus.

Friendly staff. Lovely choices on menu and good quality food Good value for pre theatre meal. Top quality food and tasty

Family reunion comfortable surroundings. Good varied menu. Attentive staff customer orientated.

We have been going to this restaurant since we moved over to NI in March last year. The food is excellent, tasty and as good as any we have had in England. The owners and staff are friendly and very professional. We have had most of the dishes and liked them all. We highly recommend it. David & Sandra

A truly amazing place. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and they welcome children too. We have been on numerous occasions and it is always the same experience.

This restaurant is without a doubt one of the best Indian restaurants in the country. Warm, welcoming staff. Owners that appreciate their customers and absolutely delicious food. Highly recommend!!

Best Indian Restaurant in Northern Ireland. Food is first class. Staff are polite, professional and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Was recommended from a relative in the UK whilst working in NI to come and eat at the restaurant. Good food and service.

Truly beautiful food. Service 2nd to none. N.Ireland/Irish restaurateurs should visit this place and witness how diners can/should be treated. Plus the bonus of a complimentary liqueur at end of the meal. Well done Little India, will certainly recommend and return.

Great food with excellent flavours, well presented and in substantial quantity, so much so we had to take some home with us for dinner the next day. Welcoming staff and clean throughout. Will most certainly go again when next on the area. Many thanks. PS:...

Yet another fabulous Indian food restaurant and we were quite impressed with the quality and taste of each items that we tried there. The interior is excellent and well decorated. I had lamb biriyani which was quite different to what is normally served in and around Belfast. I would also like to recommend Tarka Daal which was as authentic as it can get. Starter portions were little less in quantity but that is not a complaint. There are ample free parking slots available and it won't an issue generally. We would definitely recommend this. 😊

We have been coming here for years. The food is always a high standard. They will adapt the menu to your requirements. Service is good. We'll always come back here for a great Indian meal.

Whilst on holiday in Carrickfergus we went here for a meal based on previous reviews and were so glad we did. Everything you could hope for from an Indian restaurant and more. Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, superb service and delicious food. Excellent little touches like the...

Went out for dinner and got from the early dining menu. Food was delicious and staff were superb. Would recommend to anyone.

Had a beautiful birthday meal in the little India restaurant in Carrickfergus. The monkfish curry was unbelievable and the service was fantastic 😊

Gorgeous food! Always excellent quality. Little India has never let us down. Staff are lovely too if you decide to sit in.

One of our favourite restaurants

We really enjoyed the food here. My Lamb Roghan Josh tasted really good and was so tender. The portions are a good size and we couldn't eat it all. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had a very pleasant time.

This restaurant is most definitely 5 star. The service is excellent food is superb! The staff are professional, warm, welcoming,and very attentive.we had a lovely evening on Saturday thanks very much to management and your team,you never disappoint.

This is a great restaurant for families with young kids. We've been here many times. The service is always excellent and the food is delicious. A family favourite for us!

Table booked 7pm arrived 5 minutes early, didn't get our table till 7.15 Ordered meal for four of us, an hour later enquired as to how long for our meal to be served. Staff were indifferent, just saying they were busy. Another 10 minutes another...

We’ve been to little India for our anniversary two years in a row now and it never disappoints! The food is delicious, the service is really good and the gym and tonic really hits the spot!!

Lovely food, fresh and delicious . Excellent service too. Great for sit in and takeaway. Comfortable and nice environment. Good to see allergens identified on menu and gf clearly marked. We visit regularly and highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant. Very expansive menu. Very attentive staff. We went midweek and the restaurant wasn't that busy but did have a few large parties there. We were given the menu whilst our drinks where being prepared. Good selection of poppadoms provided whilst we waited. We all picked different items from the menu, from prawns to chicken to naan bread. The food arrived fairly quickly and was beautifully presented. The best was yet to come, it was fantastic, tenderly cooked and delicious. After the meal we were offered a free sambucca or baileys. We all agreed it was without doubt the best Indian meal we had ever eaten. Highly recommended. I will definitely be back.

Top quality food served by friendly staff

One of the best currys I had will come again recommend to anyone you won't be let down
