Little India — Restaurant in Palma

A Indian restaurant on the beach strip. Nice views except when the sun isn’t shining so a hot spicy Indian is just what I’m after. Staff were attentive and pleasant. I ordered a kebab sheekh which came on sizzling plate with onions and pepper and 3 dipping sauces. Spicy onions, sweet mango and chive cream. Which was quite nice. Though I felt with the sauces it should had came with a poppadom. But hey ho. The kebab was nice wasn’t dry and had some nice spice through it. Wasn’t chewy and went down well with some of the dips. My cold plate was placed in front of me before the main meal came shortly after which I ordered out with my comfort zone. The Agra special which apparently won cook year award…which year??? So I’m not going to explain what it is and taken a pic of what exactly it is. The waiter asked me how spicy hot I wanted from mild to very very hot. I ask for it to be hot as I wanted to taste the food and not just the heat. I also orders rice and a chapati bread. Right the chicken was actually quite good and not dry and a decent amount of it too. The sauce is how would I describe it like a korma with extra herbs and spices. I ask for it to be hot but in my opinion was medium heat. Ce la vie. The curry was fine nothing special in my opinion. If you’re in korma with a little or a lot of heat then maybe this is for you but it missed the mark for me. Desert was prob the best and they said it was homemade so well done for a lovely ice cream. oh mango ice cream is the ONLY desert they offer. The atmosphere was spoiled though by a couple of locals who was playing a game at full sound blast and was speaking so loud with the caller. The waiter should had said as it was def annoying not only me but a few other customers.

An ok meal. I would prob give it 3.5 and would had scored 4 star if the plate was warmed up and popadoms came with the dips. Noise from locals also spoiled the meal...

• WARNING *

Think twice before going to this restaurant. The restaurant seems like a good place with the sea view, but don't be deceived by it. There is a male staff/server who is extremely extremely and terribly rude. He doesn't know how to talk to a customer.

After waiting for 40 minutes for 1 chana masala, 1 veg biryani and 1 boiled rice, the food didn't arrive and when asked about the delay, he started teaching us if we know the restaurant 'policy'. I politely asked him that other customers who came before is got their food before us, what is the status of our order, he rudely asked me 'what work I do and where do I work' when I asked about the reason for delay in food. Such was the behaviour at an Indian restaurant with an Indian who has travelled more than 63 countries and frequently eat at Indian restaurants and never experienced such behaviour.

Later, the chef came and personally apolosised. Another Indian customer from UK sitting next to me interfered and explained the server's rude and unethical behaviour to the owner and things calmed down with an apology from the owner.

And please NOTE... all this argument lasted 20 minutes and the food didn't arrive yet.

After another 10 minutes, the food finally came. The taste is good and the portion size is decent. You can visit the restaurant but ask the female server to attend you.

Overall a very sour experience. Never...

Little India:

Location: Excellent location, just opposite the sea beach. The opening time is from 13pm to 23:59 pm. You can reserve the Table in advance but generally you will get one if you just turn up.

Price: We had dinner 3 times and roughly it cost €40 (around £35) for 3 people for each of our visit.

Customer Service: All the 3 days we were served and look after by Gurjeet. Excellent customer service. He would suggest many food items to try, very polite and even come and ask how the food is. It was great to hear that many Panjabi (Indian) people are settled in Spain and how they celebrate every festival together.

Food Quality: Amazing quality, and good proportions. I would highly recommend ordering Samosa, Shahi Panner and Kadhai Panner. They use fresh spices / masala when they prepare food, and you can feel the freshness. The food was delicious, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.

All the staff members were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I would...
