Little India Lahug - Cebu

Closed 5 pm on a Thursday. So we cannot judge the food Updated from previous review on 2024-01-25

A (mainly North) Indian pure vegetarian restaurant with a number of vegan options explicitly labeled as such, including a few different rice combo sets. Food is fine and the sets are a good portion for one person, but it's not particularly spicy and was a bit heavy on the salt and cumin when I ate there. Delivers on Grab.

Finding JY Square was not difficult at all but locating nearby Salinas Drive the SSY Business Center was quite a challenge. Asked at least half a dozen locals and none had heard of either. After significant walking, eventually the seas parted. The SSY Business Center is basically a large carpark square with shops lining the left hand and rear sides. Little India is to be found at the back left corner. You enter on the ground floor and are referred up the staircase to the first floor where the dining area is found. There's quite a good range of choices from single main dishes through to the classic thali. The menu is mainly north Indian but they do currently offer dosas and idly. It is anticipated that they will offer a south Indian thali too in the future. I opted for the vegan north indian thali which comprised small portions of chana masala (chickpea curry), yellow dhal, masala potatoes plus rice, one roti and papad. The meal was quite filling and surprisingly inexpensive.
