Little India Restaurant Calahonda — Restaurant in Mijas

Absolute wonderful experience and a must for anyone … so know need to read anymore. Get it booked.

Our family booked this from the high score already in Google reviews and the only reason we choose this over the Bay of Bengal was because the dining area was open and airy - big tick for hot evening before you even sit down.

He began to clear plates, dropped one all over my cream handbag and white jeans! He couldn't apologise enough but with everything else that had gone wrong, I will not...

I have experienced a lot of curry houses around the world and the food here is right up there with the likes on the curry mile. I had the lamb madras and my wife the chicken rogan josh, both meals were authentic Indian, not only did the madras have the lovely hot sour taste there were levels of curry flavour that takes skill to make and the rogan josh had lovely deep tomato quality. Further to this it was nice to see a tikka with chips on the menu for the kids which they happily polished off. The poppadoms were good quality though I wished the lime pickle was hotter (but that's personal preference) and the naan bread was excellent.
