Little India Restaurant in Dresden

What delicious food they serve. Loved the quality!!! and on top of that a great customer service. Can only recommend this place.

Nothing but the best Indian restaurant in Dresden. No questions asked. Best service and food quality!

Very friendly service. Food was extremely tasty. I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

Food is really nice. I recommend Manchurian dry starters here.

Really good! Enjoyed the spice level Definitely recommend this place :)

We were in this nice little restaurant with the family in the evening. Courteous and friendly staff and worth a visit if you e.g. B. is on a city trip to Dresden. The food was delicious, but the price-performance ratio still leaves a little to be desired, as the prices could have been a little lower, but all in all a really solid restaurant.

Small restaurant with really good food To recommend!

Delicious lunch at an affordable price.

Rude and disrespectful owner. Worst dining experience.

If we could give 0 stars review we would have given just that . One of the Worst Dining Experiences – Arrogance Served Hotter than the Food If you’re looking for a pleasant evening out, avoid this place at all costs. What started as a simple dinner turned into an unnecessarily uncomfortable and insulting experience – all thanks to the owner’s appalling attitude. From the moment we arrived, the owner seemed more interested in showing off than providing hospitality. Without any provocation, he began speaking in Hindi and quickly switched to English with a mocking smirk, making an uncalled-for stereotype about South Indians not knowing Hindi. Not only was it offensive, but it also showed a shocking lack of cultural sensitivity, especially for someone in the hospitality industry. When we mentioned that one of the dishes was spicier than expected, instead of handling it professionally, he replied in the most condescending tone: “You ordered a level 2, can’t handle it?” The arrogance in his voice was palpable. To make things worse, he tried to snatch the dish away without even asking if we wanted to keep it or replace it. It’s ironic and honestly shameful that someone who is Indian himself seems to have no understanding of the basic hospitality values our culture is known for. There’s a huge difference between confidence and arrogance — and this man has clearly lost his way. Rude service, stereotypical remarks, and no regard for basic customer respect. There are plenty of restaurants that know how to treat guests with basic courtesy. Do yourself a favor and go to literally any of them instead.

Rarely have I had such a delicious Indian meal. Always happy

Super, super tasty food, which comes quickly and is brought by very friendly waiters! Also very nice ambience :) we are now regular customers there and for anyone who can't stand spicy food, I warmly recommend the Chicken Mango! The price-performance ratio is also great!

Great place! We ordered a chicken thali - this is a tray with a plate of rice and several additions to it, to put it very simply. New flavor combinations, fresh quality food. The owner was super friendly and a story about food in India.

The food was great, the service was also great. The location could be made a little more comfortable, but at the moment it's completely okay

The service and food was amazing. It felt like I was eating at home 🏡 😊

Very authentic Indian, I can recommend it without reservation

Nice service, good food, cheap price. We and very satisfied.

In my opinion the best Indian restaurant in Dresden! + The quality and taste of the food is unbeatable. + The service is very friendly and the food is at the table in just a few minutes. + The lunch menu includes various thalis (several small dishes, served with rice, naan and a small dessert) for around €10, with a great price-performance ratio. + The rooms are nicely furnished and the atmosphere is pleasant. Simply great!

Wonderful. Very tasty food and friendly service. Chicken curry is excellent. Overall, highly recommended👍

Wir waren spontan zum Abendessen. Super Service toller Geschmack 👌 Kleiner Laden mit reichlicher Speiseauswahl in der Dresdner Neustadt (Szene Viertel)

Very tasty food, attentive service, authentic and super tasty cuisine - we felt very comfortable all around and would come back at any time! We definitely recommend it.

Wir waren zufällig in der Dresdner Neustadt unterwegs und haben uns spontan ins Little India gesetzt. Der Empfang war herzlich, Kartenzahlung kein Problem. Das Essen kam super schnell an den Tisch und war sehr lecker mit angenehmer Schärfe. Wie hatte mit dem Chef des Ladens eine nette Konversation, super sympathischer Typ. Wir waren nicht zum letzten Mal im Little India zu Gast!

"Ein absolut empfehlenswertes indisches Restaurant! Das Lammgericht war hervorragend – zart, perfekt gewürzt und unglaublich schmackhaft. Die Gewürze waren wunderbar ausbalanciert und haben für ein authentisches Geschmackserlebnis gesorgt. Zudem war das Personal äußerst zuvorkommend und freundlich, was den Besuch noch angenehmer gemacht hat. Gerne wieder!"

Our absolute favorite restaurant! We come here almost every week because the food is simply unbeatably delicious - authentic, perfectly seasoned and always fresh. The service is super friendly and the atmosphere invites you to linger. Our recommendation: The lamb – incredibly tender and simply delicious! We always look forward to the next meal. Absolute recommendation! And we felt like we tried every Indian in Dresden 😄

Very tasty food in a very nice, cozy little atmosphere. Very friendly service. Highly recommended

Best address for Indian food in Dresden!

Good food and there is snap (too much)👍🏼

It's not that typical wannabe Indian setting with elephants and bamboo bushes, but the food is so incredibly delicious

Best Indian in Dresden. Hyderabadi is the best Curry ever and the paneer best Vegetation. Only 10 tables so make sure you book

So, I can safely say that this is one of the best Indian restaurants in Dresden. The food was perfect, and the service was excellent. One of the waiters noticed us struggling with the German menu and came over to ask if we would like an English one—that was very thoughtful. At the end, we were offered shots of an Indian alcoholic drink on the house! We will definitely come back to try more dishes from the menu.

Spontaneously went to Little India on a Friday evening with a group of 7 people. The boss took care of us directly and organized a table and gave us advice on dishes. The food was very, very tasty and absolutely sufficient. We'll definitely be back!

The food was super tasty. The service was friendly and funny. Without a reservation, we were spontaneously given seats for 6 people. The shop is small, but very authentic. We'll definitely be happy to come back.

The service was very friendly and attentive, we felt very taken care of. The food was super tasty, I even enjoyed eating the eggplant, which I don't really like! The prices for both the food and drinks were unbeatable! The restaurant is very small, but very busy. You should definitely reserve in advance, otherwise you have no chance. When making the online reservation, you point out that if there are a large number of reservations, the length of stay will be limited to a maximum of 1.5 hours. There was a note on our table that showed us that the next guest would arrive two hours later. Personally, that doesn't bother me because I'm rarely in a restaurant for that long. But maybe it disrupts someone's restaurant experience. I will definitely come back!

Great service, delicious food, not necessarily an “Indian” atmosphere, but cozy, prices are great.

Sehr leckeres Essen und aufmerksamer Service trotz vollem Restaurant. Wir hatten wunderbar zartes Lamm (Lamb Korma), hausgemachten indischen Käse (Paneer Labab Daar) und Kartoffeln mit Blumenkohl und Tomaten-Curry. Alles sehr gut gewürzt. Sehr gern wieder.

The owner takes care of the tables very well and he made our experience very pleasant. Group of 5. Portion size was very reasonable and the taste was on point!

Willing to have Indian food with genuine taste? Little India is one of the best options at Dresden. Ideal location, good people. They serve fresh, hot and tasty preparations.

Been living in Germany for more than 10 years and I’ve never had such an amazing mango lassi like here 😍 highly recommend it! Great food and top service!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and inviting decor set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic meal. The menu was full of delicious options, each dish more enticing than the last. The flavors were bold, authentic, and perfectly balanced. The service was exceptional too, with friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. Overall, this place is a hidden gem for anyone craving real, flavorful Indian cuisine. I’ll definitely be returning!

Amazing food and great service!

Mega! Simply incredible! Yummy! Personal! Highly recommended.

Aslam was very welcoming. The service was very quick and the food was very fresh and tasted exactly like back home. He also bonded well every guest. Highly recommended!

Small but nice and totally delicious :-)

We were exploring Neustadt and decided to try some Indian food. After reading reviews on Google and Reddit, we gave this place a shot, and it did not disappoint! We ordered Chicken Manchurian and Chicken Malvani. Chicken Manchurian was the best I’ve had in Germany so far, and the Chicken Malvani was unique and tasty. Both dishes came with rice, but we also ordered Naan, which was a great addition. The host was friendly, attentive and clearly passionate about the food. If you’re in Dresden and craving desi flavors, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Everything was very good. The people working here are also very welcoming, polite and friendly. Highly recommended.

Wonderful ambience, friendly service, incredibly delicious cheese naan, always a pleasure to go there

The food was super spicy. I ordered chicken Biriyani. I normally eat spicy food. The spice level is supposed to be from level 1 to 3. I chose level 2, because the staff told us the level 3 would be very spicy. But even the level 2 was extremely spicy for me and my friends. It was unenjoyable. I hated it. The spice levels should be properly advertised. The level 1 should be spicy enough for those used to spices and level 0.5 should be spicy for those not so used to spicy foods. **if you’re hate yourself and is fed up of life, then the level 3 is for you! Update: I had upset stomach for 2 days afterwards. Felt like my stomach was numb.😄

As the name suggests, small...but nice! The food was very good, the host was extremely friendly and accommodating. Only the space at the door is very cold and drafty at this time of year.

Really good address! Recommended!

Aslam very kindly found us a table for 3 even though we hadn't reserved- tip- this is is busy all the time so do reserve a table! Food came really quickly because we only had the table for an hour and was delicious. Some dishes can be made hotter and If you like spicy do not be afraid to go for hotter ( especially if you are used to British curry). If you are in Dresden try this place (with a reservation!)

Really good Indian place. Careful with the spice, the level two it is crazy spicy. It has good price and the quality is really really good!

Very tasty food and the butter chicken can only be recommended, but it has become quite “expensive” (approx. 15-20€ per dish)

One of the best Indian restaurants in Dresden! It's not for nothing that Little India repeatedly receives the Travelers Choice Award from TripAdvisor. The dishes are delicious, authentic and the owner is very nice and accommodating.

Very friendly service. Rich selection of freshly prepared dishes at comparatively reasonable prices. Recommended.

My wife and I always try to find an Indian restaurant while on vacation. So glad we found Little India. The appetizer,Aloo Tikki and main dish of Butter Chicken, were simply fabulous. Not to mention we were treated to an after dinner Mango Liqueur. If we lived in Dresden, we would make this our go to weekly dinner!

Ausgezeichnetes indisches Restaurant mit sehr freundlichem Service, den Gastpräferenzen angepassten Schärfegrad der Speisen.

Genuinely good Indian food. And the spicy levels are actually “Indian Spicy” 😅(if you want it). I would highly recommend this place, especially their Dal Makhini. It put a smile on my face 😊 Great service too!

Best Indian food I have eaten so far in Germany. Definitely recommend it. They even customise the food according to your taste. Loved the Dal Makhni and Paneer Lababdar

One of the best Indian restaurants in Germany. Good ambience and very friendly staff / owner. Loved everything about this place. Very authentic. Reminded me of home ❤️

During our trip through Germany, my friends and I were craving a change from the typical German fare we'd been having for days. We stumbled upon "Little India" in Dresden, and it was exactly what we needed! From the moment we walked in, the owner welcomed us with open arms, making us feel right at home. His charm and humor added to the experience, and he made excellent recommendations from the menu. What really stood out were the generous complementary dishes he offered, along with a free glass of wine from India, which was such a unique treat! The food itself was nothing short of fantastic. The spice levels are definitely something to take seriously—if you're not into heat, the mild option will suit you perfectly, as it did for some in our group. For those who enjoy more intense flavors, the spicier dishes were bold yet very manageable. I highly recommend "Little India" to anyone visiting Dresden and looking to indulge in authentic Indian flavors with a warm, personal touch. It's a dining experience you won’t want to miss!

Bester Inder in Dresden ❤️ Haben schon andere Restaurants probiert, aber gehen hier seit 10 Jahren regelmäßig hin und es schmeckt wirklich immer Oberlecker! Authentische Küche, mit Liebe gekocht und bedient. Und auch ganz viele vegetarische/vegane Gerichte. Sehr zu empfehlen :)

This is without a doubt the best indian food I've ever had. The atmosphere is incredible and the food outstanding.

Well-bred restaurant with deliciously prepared dishes. I've been there several times and always been very satisfied

I recently dined at **Little India Restaurant** in Dresden, and I was impressed not only by the delicious food but also by the warm hospitality of the owner, who served us. Initially, we were disappointed to learn that some menu items, like Gobi Manchurian, were only available in the evening, a detail not mentioned on their website. However, the owner kindly checked with the chef and offered to prepare it for us at lunchtime, which made our day! I also appreciated his honesty about the lack of fried starters during lunch, as he explained that samosas taste best when fresh and not many customers order them at that time. This commitment to quality over convenience was refreshing. Overall, if you're in Dresden and craving authentic Indian cuisine, Little India is a must-visit for its flavorful dishes and exceptional service! Thank you!

Best Indian restaurant in Dresden, very small and sometimes a bit loud, but very nice. If you like quiet and cozy, then nothing. The food is always super delicious. And we like the boss with his funny manner, service is always very friendly and accommodating. Reservations are also recommended on weekdays.

Had a great host and the best food. Didn't expect to be so good

Just had the most amazing Indian chicken biryani The flavors were so rich and aromatic, every bite was a burst of spices and tender chicken. Absolutely delicious and full of taste.😋🫂

The staff was very welcoming and polite. The food was as good as back home in India. Motabhai mauj aavi gai!

The food was good, especially dal makhani. Very appetizing. The staff is also very welcoming, understands all the languages, Hindi and Gujarati as well. Any Indian would love it here, as well the Germans who want to have a taste of India :)

Cozy little restaurant with a great ambiance. The food is a delight and the service is even better. Definitely a must do in Dresden!

Amazing Indian food, I've been going there for a while and will stick to it!! Owner is very nice and friendly!

Highly recommended, impeccable service, delicious flavors. The mango lassi and the vegetarian dishes with paneer are particularly recommended. I can't wait to come back!

The Chana Masala was incredible and the portions super abundant. The host was lovely and super welcoming, so grateful we found this spot!

Very tasty food, especially the vegetarian and vegan options are very good! The service is always friendly, all in all great.

Small restaurant in the heart of Dresden Neustadt. Extremely delicious Indian food, attentive service, simply great! Absolutely recommended!

I love Indian food and Little India is by far the best Indian restaurant I know! Each dish has a finely tuned, unique taste...no boring, standard curry! One of the top restaurants that I would recommend to every visitor to Dresden. Some friends come to Dresden from other parts of the country specifically to visit Little India 😋

This place has very original flavours, the best service and the best mango lassi I have ever had. I would definitely visit again soon

The food was really, really good and looked very nice. The staff is very considerate and friendly. We also like the neighborhood with its many young people. Sitting outside is also very nice for this reason.

We are visiting Dresden from the US, and I've had strong Indian food cravings during my pregnancy. I have to say, Little India did an amazing job of satisfying these cravings. From the Hara Bhara Kabab to the Chicken Lababdaar and Chicken Biryani, I was blown away by the authentic Indian flavors. The owner, who is from Mumbai, is very friendly and personally ensures your food is prepared to perfection. We've been here three times in just a couple of weeks and will likely return at least once more before heading back to the US.

The staff was really friendly and the food was very delicious :)

Es ist immer sehr lecker und der Service ist spitze. Besonders zu empfehlen sind die gefüllte Aubergine und die schwarzen Linsen

Little India Restaurant offers excellent tasty Indian food in a cozy atmosphere. The dishes are authentic and full of flavor, cooked individually according to our wishes. The service is friendly and attentive. Great value for money – definitely recommended!

Have tried several Indian restaurants in different cities, but this one is still the real deal! :) still tastes just as good as it did 5 years ago, great service. You don't have to wait long for the food, the lassis are bomb. 10/10

incredibly tasty and warm service

The food was excellent, the service was exceptionally good. Thank you for the nice hospitality and the very tasty food.

Das Essen war hervorragend mit einem herausragenden Service . Wir danken für die außergewöhnlich gute Qualität und Ihre Freundlichkeit.

TOP food. TOP service. TOP ambience. Five stars are not enough. We'll be back!

The Indian food is authentic and delicious~ The boss is humorous, friendly and comfortable. Will definitely come back and enjoy it next time. The Indian cuisine is so delicious. The waiters are humorous and kind. We would definitely come back next time.

The food was delicious, we didn't have to wait long. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

Great food (lots of vegetarian options), wonderful mango lassi, and amazing customer service :) truly above and beyond 🙌

They really have good food and know how to win customer with good services. Nice and comfort food!

Best restaurant in Dresden, possibly the world.

If you're interested in Indian food and are in Dresden this is the place. A very small menu, but delicious food and quick service.

By far the best Indian in Dresden and the surrounding area; and that in every respect ♥️🙌

The best Indian food in Dresden. We ordered two gravies and naan and the flavours were very well balanced and decadent. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Delicious food, very helpful, polite and nice staff 💚 I highly recommend it, we left with full bellies, delighted!

Fantastically beautiful and unique

This place had a great service with really friendly and helpful staff. The food was excellent, all around great experience and definitely recommend for a nice meal in Dresden!

Super food and very pleasant service from the waiters. We had 2 starters and 2 main dishes, all which tasted very authentic and good.

Not so good for the price. Not enough rice.
