Going out of business in the next few days which is a TRAGEDY! How did I not know about this place?! Amazing food and vibe and service. Got the special (Salmon with pesto spaghetti squash and a million amazing flavors) and friends ordered the Tikka Masala and Cheeseburger. All fantastic. Cannot say enough good things about the place. Even had the Cookie Skillet to celebrate a birthday - delish!

Just off the main drag, this place exceeded our expectations. Comfort Fried Chicken, a Green Curry Halibut, and Chicken Tikka more than fed our family of four. The staff was courteous and the chef made special effort to make sure our two young boys were happy with the meal.

The fried chicken is the best! That meal is so delicious. My daughter who is a picky eater loves this meal. I think we have had it almost 10 times. I love how we leave happy and full every time. The price are very adorable too!!!! (Cute little date night spot too)

Food was amazing, service was impeccable. The Mac and cheese was legendary, and the skillet baked cookie was divine. Grace was a great server... Thank you very much!!!

Tikka Masala and Mac n Cheese hit the spot - taste very homemade and not too greasy.

I ordered takeout from them and ordered the fried chicken plate...oh man was it was sooo good! I live very nearby and thought I'd give them try, I wasn't expecting it to be this good! Really hope they stay in business, I highly recommend!

I love this place and am not sure why it doesn't have more business. Small menu that is executed to a tee every time. Interesting flavors and nice portion size and prices. One of my favorites.

Had them bring me my food on the patio out back how convenient, fries are tasty as well, flatbread pesto is a pizza apparently and I'm not mad about that.

Little Kitchen is a gem! Great food, warm ambiance and wonderful service. I highly recommend the Swedish Meatballs.
I literally JUST left Little Kitchen and loved it so much I had to write a review.Came here for SB Burrito Week to try their limited time Chicken Tikka Masala burrito with a side of Swedish Meatballs.It. Was. Phenomenal.The restaurant was swamped due to it being Friday during burrito week, but Amadeus was super friendly and welcoming and gave us advance warning that it may be a little bit of a wait for food.The chefs even helped out, showing guests to seats while the phone rang off the hook.Even with the volume of customers, the food came out hot and delicious.I will absolutely be back for the chicken dish and the meatballs - what a fantastic find. Kudos to the staff, thank you for a fantastic meal!

This was our third time going back and THIS time, we vow to never EVER return again. Not even by the seductive allure of future Burrito Weeks. The first time we went was years ago for Burger Week and we were super impressed with their Fig Burger. So we returned a second time for the same burger but this time, service was SO slow with only 1 server and that same burger was dry, tasteless, and just overall awful. We said we'd never return again but then the first ever Burrito Week is happening this week and they had a really interesting tikka masala burrito that we felt like we couldn't pass up on so we took a chance on them again and FAILLLED. Hard. There is nothing tikka or masala about this burrito. It's supposed to be a curry and there was nothing remotely close to resembling that in the burrito. It felt like they took the chicken out of their tikka masala dish, put it in their mouths, sucked out all of the sauce and then wrapped it into a burrito and served it to me. They garnish it with lime and presumably raita sauce but even that did nothing for the flavor. There was WAYYY too much rice to anything else ratio. Felt like I was eating a rice ball and not a good one. Dry, flavorless, disappointing. We won't be falling for this place again! Do yourself a favor and skip this burrito this week!

Ordered takeout from here on a Thursday night & it did not disappoint! We called in our order vs ordering for pickup online because for some reason the services they offer don't list everything on the menu.. so we called & it took about 20 mins. - Tikka Masala: Warm and cozy.. wouldn't call it traditional but it came with pita & rice. Yum! 4/5 - BBQ flatbread: lots of bbq sauce & toppings, really good! Comforting. Ordered with a side salad and that was delicious too. 4/5 - fried chicken meal: AMAZING!!! Soooo good 100% the best thing we ordered. 5/5 - Key Lime Cheesecake: we all LOVEDDD this omg. Great size but we ordered 2 for 4 people and it was so yum. Overall, we will def be back! We might even eat there because it looked super cozy when we picked out.
