Exceptional! - Edit
I tried going here many times before but I could never find them open. Recently I found they have set opening times, so in my first stop to Utrecht I visited them. This place is exceptional and has dishes you won’t find elsewhere. They have a set menu and a rotating menu. I went because the dish of the day sounded amazing, unfortunately that isn’t served before 12. But they have many other good options, like naan in the mix (weekly changing) and focaccia which we both tried. The focaccia was outstanding. They also serve many other options and nice drinks. The staff is very friendly and the location makes it feel very home-y, which I love. Also Carlos the cat is a big plus, he’s very cute and was the first to welcome us when we arrived to the premises. They also have interesting events, mostly creative one’s which seem like a lot of fun to join. I’ll be back soon for sure!

So so so so good - Edit
This must be one of my favourite places in the country. As always I couldnt choose but for those cases you can order 'the situation': a big plate full of small dishes. I got peanut soup, lasagna, 2 different curries with rice, a yummy very diverse salad, cheese naan and papadum. Accompanied by a 'snicker milkshake'. It was a late lunch for me (3:30) but I dont think I would need dinner anymore! Really, stop reading and just go here.
Read moreNB the opening times are incorrect and are actually wed-sat, see G maps. I tried updating..
Pros: Large variety of options, Nice weirdy atmosphere and a super cute cat, Many seats

Delicious spiced food - Edit
Update dec 24:
Read moreHad a Tiffin for dinner at work (catering). Concept is nice, but portion size is maybe a bit small. The sweets were okay but not good enough in my opinion (a bit dry), so I would not order sweets again at Little World Kitchen. In stead of the sweets I would have preferred more of the delicious curry 🤭.
At little world kitchen I tried the Tiffin for lunch. In one box there was a curry with chickpeas, yellow lentils and rice. The other box contained a salad. Both were yummy!
I really liked the massala chai. A drink full of flavour and nice spicy taste of ginger.
Although the food and drink were delicious, the cafe is a bit too small and noisy for me. I went on a Friday and it was really busy. I recommend to make a reservation.

It’s like eating at someone’s home - Edit
The entrance of this place is by the kitchen, so I was confused whether I was walking the right way. After the kitchen, you walk past the corridor where a sink and the toilet are located. You need to enter the ‘living room’ to get to the seating area.
Read moreIt’s quite hot there and smells strongly of the foods/spices being served. The interior looks messy, which gives it a homey feel.
The staff members seem to be friends, since they chat a lot. However, they do check whether you need service.
The food is slightly cheaper than I’m used to from nearby places and the portion of pancakes was generous. I also liked the Blue lotus tea that they served, although I didn’t expect a loose-leaf tea and it was expensive. I think their previous menu mentioned some other ingredients as well.

Lovely place - Edit
Lovely place. Perfect food. I had a no-beef wellington (a new try besides the normal menu), with mushroom sauce and a great salad aside. It was amazing. The cappuccino could have had more foam, but the food was so good that I definitely want to come back soon.

Cheeeeesy naan - Edit
Great little spot, very homey and tasty. Had the naan burger with a side of cheesy naan. 10/10 would recommend. Rented bikes specifically to come here.

Cosy. Friendly. Delicious - Edit
Cosy. Friendly. Delicious. Those are the first words that come to my mind when thinking about Little World Kitchen. The atmosphère makes you feel at home while at the same time giving you the feeling of escaping in another country. The place literally feels like you are in a living room, but in a very positive way.
Read moreAs for the menu, it's also an invitation to travel in a (vegan) world. From ayurvedic teas to lassis, from naan to exotic fruits bowls.
We opted for the breakfast deal: a drink and a dish for 9.95€. Coffee, Bikini and chia puddings.
You can also get catering in very colorful metal lunchboxes. A gem in Utrecht

Sweet people, good food - Edit
Nice place in Utrecht in a house that looks like you’re in someone’s dining or living room. Nice people and good tasty food.
Read moreFour stars because: The home made ice tea had not enough flavour to my tasting and the garden we ate in was cosy but far from maintained. There is no possibility to wash your hands after having visited the bathroom. Not the whole menu could be ordered. When in Utrecht, I will most surely come back though!
Pros: People/staff, Speed of service, All vegan

My FAVORITE lunchroom - Edit
I really don’t know what to say other than it’s my favorite lunchroom of all time. Every dish is delicious, beautifully plated and the staff is incredibly attentive. They run out of ingrediënts sometimes, but that just goes to show that they care about the environment. Wait is usually a little longer than you might be used to. I don’t mind it because of the cozy atmosphere and they really make everything to order. My favorite dish is the poha, I order it with rice instead of rice flakes, but the cheese naan is also a must! Can’t recommend this place enough!!

Unique Location and Tastes - Edit
Quite unique experience, more or less in a private home. The dishes we had had always an interesting twist to them. Quiet highlights were the freshly baked bread and the bulgur on the side of the shakshuka, which was tasty. The roti was delicious as well with some spicy salad. The mango lassi-excellent. Only the home made iced tea with lavender was not exactly our thing.

Lovely little lunchcafe - Edit
The place has a very home style feel to it. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. We came in on a Friday around lunchtime and it was pretty much full, luckily we did have a reservation so I would recommend making a reservation if you plan on having lunch here.
Read moreI ordered the roti dish which came with a salad on the side and some (perfectly cooked) rice. The roti itself was very good and seasoned well, maybe a little on the salty side but overall very good. Loved the soft potatoes inside and the hint of spice. Salad was fresh and the dressing was fine. i had a chai masala for drink. They make their own chai blenda and it was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes are good and prices are reasonable.
Only real downside for me is that there are quite a lot of tables in a rather small space, where I prefer it to be and feel a little more spacious. That is just a personal preferences though, as I can imagine that others find it charming. Anyway, they are worth a visit for sure.
Pros: Really tasty food, Great chai masala, Friendly staff
Cons: Tight space

Fill my little world - Edit
Wat een pareltje! Goed zoeken want het zit een beetje verstopt. Het eten was super lekker! Ik had 'de situatie'. Het deed me een beetje denken aan een slechte MTV reality show, maar het was een mix van allerlei hapjes voor als je geen keuze kunt maken. Alles op de kaart leek me lekker dus koos ik dat.

Delicious and zero waste lunch - Edit
Little world kitchen offers an amazing lunch service with a choice of 2 or 3 (including dessert) dishes per person. We ordered it for a work lunch and it was not only delicious, but amazing to have it delivered in reusable containers. Everyone loved it, we had a curry dish with super tasteful jackfruit and a dish with salad and grilled eggplant that tasted amazing. The dessert was a slice of lemon cake.
Read moreThere is also an option to eat at their pop up location at the concierge. It is a very cosy location. Service is very friendly. So definitely recommend visiting!
Pros: Waste free lunch delivery
