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.”
my first time eating indian food and it was amazing i loved it! i went to get 3 servings of butter chicken and out ate my guy co-workers whom i was with. best butter chicken out there!
I have to admit, the buffet here at LITTLE INDIA RESTAURANT is very impressive! The buffet table is a good size with a lot of different meat or vegetable dishes to choose from, lots of variety and well presented. The potato-meat curry AND the chickpea curry dishes were super spicy and delicious - bravo! The tandoori chicken was flavorful but not as good as -- superb tandoori chicken. The butter chicken and 2 beef curries were just average. There was some salads available as well as the usual desserts such as gulab jamon (donutball in syrup). The custard with fruit cocktail on top was quite good. The rice pudding was better than average. The generous fruit bowls of watermelon, cantaloupe, orange slices and pineapple were really well presented. Overall, me and my 5 companions were really impressed and satisfied with our meal which costed $10.95 each, which used to cost $8.95 just last year. We all want to come back here again for buffet lunch. The outstanding service was attentive and very courteous, especially with the refilling of the water and removal of used plates. Also, the restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with indian portraits. Please note that there are usually short lineups waiting outside the door or just inside the door. This restaurant is THAT good! Visit again? Yes, absolutely! This is 1 of 2 best indian restaurants on Queen St.
The lunch buffet first hooked me - so I returned for dinner with my trusty dining companion... and we were not disappointed. Great flavours, generous portions, and attentive service.
My only complaint - don't sit in the front two tables facing Queen at night - the street light is awful!
