Veggi Deli

Not so great food, samosa Ragada is OK, not a clean environment, small restaurant probably owned by the grocery store. We have chosen this restaurant because of the 4 star rating on Unilocal.
But I don’t think this deserves 4 star.

Wow. Love chat and have eaten lots. This place is as fresh and delicious as it gets in Arkansas. Blown away by how delicious our dishes were. top marks.

When I was younger, there were no Indian restaurants in my hometown. Scratch that… there was a restaurant that existed in the old Mountain Inn in downtown Fayetteville that was short-​lived due to the lack of interest by the locals other than the handful of Indian families that lived there who would spend most of their time complaining about the food. Hence, for most of my childhood, the Indian food that I grew accustomed to was what we ate at home and the occasional stop at the Indian restaurants in Dallas, TX on our way to see the granny.
One of the stops in Dallas was at a grocery store that had opened a small area in the back which served Indian street food in true «dhaba» style. As we grew up, the trips to Dallas and that grocery store became rare. However, I had always wished that something similar would open in Arkansas.
Fast forward several years later, and you now have the closest thing to that random Indian street food vendor in Dallas right here in Little Rock. Located in the back of the Asian Groceries store, there is a little area with 4 – 5 tables and chairs under tube lighting. There are large pictures of the food items on the menu plastered on the walls with their prices (which are very reasonable). This makes things easy even for the Indian food novice. Two little Indian ladies open the place at 11am and start cooking. It is difficult not to order everything on the menu but the items that I have ordered in the past were as close to authentic street food I could get. In addition to the street food, this is the only place in Little Rock that serves masala dosa, idli, and uttapam (Indian comfort food that does NOT involve heavy cream and ambigious orange sauce).
This place is an excellent addition to Little Rock and has become a staple for me and my family. If you’re lucky and not prone to diabetes, they even squeeze fresh sugar canes and serve you the juice.

Yummy, authentic, affordable Indian cuisine. It’s all vegetarian, and cooked upon order. I had no idea what most of the dishes were (with the exception of samosas), although after ordering, I realized I had eaten some of the dishes before.
My husband and I split the bhel, idli chat, samosa chat, and the idli sambar. All were good, but my favorites were the bhel and idli chat. They are good portion sizes, and very filling (due to the spice.) Looking forward to my next visit!

Every time I go here I’m always the only non-​Indian in the joint, so I do get a lot of stares from the diners when I go up to order. It is a bit intimidating, but I enjoy good food so I don’t care. Everything on the menu is vegetarian. They serve dosas here, which is your typical Southern Indian dish. It’s pretty much the Indian version of a savory crêpe. My favorite thing to order though is the samosa chaat. If you’re new to Indian food, I think it’s safe enough appetizer-​type dish to order. The sauces come on the side, so you can customize it to your liking.

This little eatery is located inside the «Asian Groceries» store. It’s a pretty limited menu that offers Southern Indian food and chaats. All the items are vegetarian. The samosa chaat is delicious and the accompanying ingredients are fresh. I usually dump all the sauces (mint chutney, tamarind chutney and dahi) so that the samosa pieces are drowning in the sauce. I know this is probably the wrong way to eat it samosa chaat, but I love the sauces so much.
