The Little South Restaurant — Restaurant in Assam

The Little South Restaurant is arguably the only place in Jorhat which serves authentic south Indian dishes at fairly reasonable rates. The restaurant was earlier housed in a very narrow and congested place at K B Road, Jorhat and could accommodate a very few people. In its earlier location one could hardly seat comfortably inside the restaurant and have food. But in the later half of the year 2018 they moved to a better place just across the street which now has a very new ambience and a lot of space. I personally like this new location. But the one thing they lack is a washroom. I have tasted some of their dosa varieties and I found them to be greatly matching with those I had in South India, Chennai to be more specific. I really liked one of the dosas they've prepared in The Little South called the 'Super Paper Butter Masala Dosa'. It's really huge and really thin like a paper, maybe even thinner. It's very crispy and buttery. The only drawback with this dosa is that the Masala they provide with it is really scanty. I had to order some additional quantity too finish up the huge dosa. I have tasted some other varieties of dosa and some other items such as Idli and Vada in there and found them to be really nice. I've also noticed recently that they serve vegetable Biryani other than the South Indian items. Hope to try it some time. Overall I really liked this place and I highly recommend this place for someone who is visiting Jorhat to have an authentic south Indian...

A typical Tamil meal consists of many spicy and non-spicy dishes. Many of these dishes are generally mixed and eaten with steamed rice, which is the staple food of the region. Except for Brahmins and a couple of non-Brahmin castes, most Tamilians eat non-vegetarian food. However, on a typical day, a Tamil family will eat mostly vegetarian food, and the intake of meat is lower than in most parts of the world.

Restaurants serving Tamil food are traditionally of two types: so-called Saiva restaurants (serving only vegetarian food) and so-called Asaivarestaurant (serving both non-vegetarian and vegetarian food). Saiva restaurants serve people from all castes and religions. Fresh coffee and tearemain a staple drink served in both restaurants.[2]

Tamil cuisine groups dishes under five slightly overlapping categories.

Gravy dishes to be mixed in rice

First are the dishes that necessarily are mixed with rice. The sub-categories under this head are: kuzhambu, sambar, paruppu, rasam, and thayir. There is a great variety of dishes under each sub-category. For example, under "kuzhambu", common dishes include puli kuzhambu, vaththal kuzhambu, Molagu kozhambu, payarru kuzhambu, and mor kuzhambu. Non-vegetarian kuzhambu include chicken and fish curries are also now commonly mixed...

Food of the restaurant is good and since I like South Indian food so I am a regular customer of this place but only problem is they have very less number of staff member.Since the restaurant is always found full most of the time so its difficult to get refills and for water also we have to call them again and again , what I felt bad in my today’s visit that even though the tables were empty the two staff person(1lady and1men)was shouting so rudely to us to make us shift to another table.We didn’t have any problem in sharing our table and today also we shared the table with another family but the staffs behaved very rudely since I am not well I wanted to sit comfortably in a place where I usually use to sit during my visit in this restaurant. I am disappointed and wish not to face this kind...
