What do you get when you mix four brothers from the Selvarasa family with hard work and quality ingredients? A mighty fine butter chicken. At Little India in the Queen West neighbourhood, family, food and sharp service are central to the restaurant’s long success.
Sriharan Selvarasa was 16 when his dad, Nalliah, opened the North Indian Punjabi-style restaurant. And he learned quickly the key tenants of success. “It’s a lot of work, time and dedication,” says Sriharan. Luckily there are many Selvarasas to share that work. “Family is the reason we’re here.”
Along with his brother Thaneswaran, Sriharan was passionate about service from the very beginning. He believes it’s the details that matter. “Even the way you present a menu sends a message to the customer,” he says. “If you have good food, but bad service, no one is going to come.”
The other half of the Selvarasa siblings found a passion in the kitchen. Nithiyananthan and Sathiyaseelan ensure that what comes out of the kitchen matches the quality of the service.
Even though the brothers now run Little India, it doesn’t mean the parents have retreated completely. Mrs. Selvarasa still makes the desserts. And Dad? “He looks for mistakes and points them out. Inside, he’s proud,” says a chuckling Sriharan. “He grew up on farms in a big family without much money. They had to work hard so he’s old school.”

Went today for the $10.99 lunch buffet, and they had THE BEST BUTTER CHICKEN that I think I've ever had!
Butter chicken is often bland or softly flavored -- not here. It's got tons of flavor without the hotness, giving it a distinct personality.
Everything else on the buffet was also above-average,including a curry chicken that was quite different from the usual curry, so I don't hesitate to recommend Little India.
I went to this lunch buffet because of the rating I saw on this site and guess what? the reviews were right on. It was an amazing experience for such little money. I would defnly go there from here on.
It wasn't the most amazing Indian restaurant I've been too, but all in all it's good value for money. The service is efficient and friendly. They constantly top up your water glass, which definately helps when you're eating spicy food.
The butter chicken is creamy, the panner is ample, the naan is crispy, and the food is expectedly heavy.
The location is very convenient in the heart of Queen West, and the restaurant name is easily recognizable for dates and small get-togethers.
I would definately go back again, but there are other very similar restaurants of comparable quality and value right near by, and I would be perfectly happy with any one of them.
Torontos Best Butter Chicken & Indian Lunch Buffet
My girlfriend introduced me to Little India a little over a year or so ago and it has been our favourite restaurant in the city ever since. The Butter Chicken is incredible and for vegetarians that like the sauce, they will usually bring you a bowl of it without the meat (it's easy during the buffet, but asking is the only way to get it during dinner)
The lunch buffet is well worth the price at $10.95 per person for all you can eat. Plenty of options to choose from. Buffet runs from 11:30 to 3:30, 7 days a week, be careful though, it gets busy right around the lunch rush. Lines ups often go out the door, but the wait is still usually only 20 minutes or so. Well worth it.
But if you're in a hurry, they also offer lunch buffet take-out for the same $10.95 price and provide you with a decent sized container for your main dishes plus tin foil to wrap your naan in and a small bowl shapped container for dessert or soup.
