Food 4

  1. Biryani Net +2
    “The only small downside (which is maybe a personal thing) was our Biryani which was missing a bit of the intense, juicy tastes from raisins and nuts of how we remember a Biryani, but we guess there are many different ways of cooking a Biryani. Still a delicious dish!”
  2. Garlic naan Net +2
    “Had an amazing meal from here. Ordered buttered chicken, the chicken tikka starter, saffron rice and garlic naan.”

What to Avoid (1)

Food 1

The Bottom Line

Little Miss India is a Michelin Guide-listed Indian restaurant in Palm Jumeirah with a colourful, polished setting and a menu built around familiar regional favourites. You can order dishes such as butter chicken, black dhal, lamb tikka masala, biryani and tandoor items, with desserts also earning strong praise. It suits a dinner where the food matters as much as the surroundings, whether that is a birthday, anniversary or simply a more dressed-up Indian meal.

The clearest strength is the cooking. Reviews describe rich, balanced flavours and carefully presented dishes, with lamb chops, chicken tikka, Paneer Makhani and Bhindi Masala among the named standouts. Service is often thoughtful, particularly when staff take time to explain dishes, cocktails or wine.

Outdoor seating has a lively atmosphere, while the interior is more refined but did not work for every diner. Plan ahead: several reviews recommend booking, and weekend reservations are especially sensible. Confirm whether your table is inside or outside, and check its size if you are dining as a group.

The restaurant can be pricey, the menu is not especially broad, and one recent review found the drinks weaker than the food. Spice levels also seem gentler than some diners expect, so ask if you want more heat.
