What to Eat at Little Spice Restaurant L.L.C How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Little Spice Restaurant L.L.C, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Little Spice Restaurant L.L.C, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Prefer Dining. Choose a sit-down visit when timing matters; several delivery reviews describe waits of one to two hours.
Check Orders. For takeaway or delivery, check every item and the bill before leaving or paying, as missing and incorrect items are reported.
Try BBQ. Start with the BBQ platter or BBQ chicken tikka, both specifically recommended by diners.
Request Less Oil. If you prefer a lighter curry, repeat the less-oil request when ordering; one diner said it was not followed.
Check Availability. Ask what is actually available before ordering, since reviewers have found menu items unavailable.

The Bottom Line
Little Spice is a Pakistani restaurant in Business Bay with a menu that also reaches into Indian and Chinese cooking. The clearest reason to consider it is the desi food: reviewers specifically mention BBQ chicken tikka, a BBQ platter, bone marrow palou, chicken curry, karahi and naan. Vegetarian options were also noted, including biryani, achari daal and vegetarian handi.
The setting has had mixed feedback over time. One visitor described a spacious indoor and outdoor area with a glass-covered kitchen, while other reviews praised the ambience and said cleanliness had improved under new management. There are still hygiene cautions, including reports of a wet, dirty handwash area, litter outside and strong food smells in the seating area.
Service is similarly uneven. Some recent diners found the staff friendly, welcoming and fast, but delivery complaints repeatedly mention waits of more than an hour, delays beyond two hours, cold food and missing or incorrect items. Dining in is the safer choice if you are hungry or working to a schedule.
For takeaway, check the order and bill carefully before leaving. Prices are described as fair by some customers, although one diner called the restaurant a little expensive; the only specific price reported was 2 dirhams for a samosa.
