It is a very small place, and doesn't have the presentation of a haveli's or east india company, but the food and service is 100x better than those places.

It's been in the citizen several times and lineups on weekends are outrageous. I highly recommend.

Since you are in the GTA, have you tried Tandoori Flame in Brampton? Dixie and Orenda I think.

We were doing a group lunch for a 10-year service anniversary of someone in my group, and he selected Little India Cafe. I'll definitely be going back. Unfortunately I've only been there 2 years so it'll be another 8 before I get to pick.

I've only gone for lunch, and that's when they server the buffet. I should go for supper and see what the a la carte menu is like. The indian place across from Newbridge/Alcatel (Bombay Masala) was night and day with their lunch vs. supper menu (price-wise, too). Now, if I can just arrange some cheap babysitting.

i've never been a fan of bombay masala actually. its good at times but i find very inconsistent. but i agree their a la carte is way better than the buffet.

The way I understand it it's two brothers and they've alternated being cooks. Maybe one of them is better than the other.
