Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Solid curry with a range of options for all preferences including vegetarian and halal. Clean inside and out. That said I am a proficient eater of chilies and a pallet for the hot, award winning, but the waiter advised against the hot options due to...his own fears it would be too spicy. In reality it was more than manageable, would have preferred hotter! But was convinced would need a nearby dairy farm to cope with the heat.More

Great location for the restaurant. Food is average but service is good and staff friendly. Starters are good. Mains are below average.

Second visit to this restaurant once before last year. Yes same excellent standard of very tasty food. Meat dishes a lot of meat compared to others. As a side must recommend the cheesy chilli nam bread. You could eat this on its own with some...dip / sauce it’s so tasty. Main dish Murgh labardar with mushroom rice. Lots of meat, very tasty tender chicken and the sauce so creamy. Would I order this again - most definitely. And to top it off a beer was icy coldMore

This place is superb. Tried a few things on the menu, and it's some of the best food I've ever had. The dishes are very well-prepared with subtle flavourings rather than just spices. I would guess that there's a very talented chef at work, this...is some gourmet s#it for sure. Great service and fair prices.More

We tried here after wandering through the marina and being intrigued. I'm so glad we did because it was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we walked in the staff were accommodating, moving us inside after initially giving us a table outdoors. We sat next to...the bar and got to see that the bartenders really cared about the drinks they were serving and put pride into the experience for the guests. Similarly, every member of the waiting team seemed to really want to provide the best experience for guests, the restaurant was packed but we never felt ignored and when the food came out the man who brought it was as charming as you could possibly hope. I can honestly say without qualification that I would completely recommend the Little Bay to anyoneMore

A gorgeously decorated and inviting place to eat on the marina. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We didn’t book and they found us a table for 2. We had poppadoms and then a veg korma and the most amazing chicken dish (begins with...M) that is the nicest Indian dish either of us has ever tasted. The food was all utterly delicious. Our Airbnb host recommended this place and it didn’t disappoint.More

This was our first time here whilst on holiday. The actual restaurant inside was absolutely beautiful. We have never seen an Indian restaurant like it anywhere ! If you prefer to eat outside they have a really nice terrace area. All the food we had...was first class. We just loved it ! They have so many choices on their menu. The service was also first class. We got to know one of the bartenders, Thomas, who made us the best French Martinis we have ever had ! We will definitely come back next year !More

We went for an early evening meal on a Saturday night. You do need to book as it is so popular. We ordered the salmon starter in spices and the sheek kebabs which were absolutely delicious. We shared a main - the chicken karahi. Again...this was superb and ample for sharing. Great service - attentive by not intrusive. We will be back :)More

We have walked past this restaurant on many occasions and always commented that we should give it a try! The setting is lovely, having a good central spot within ocean village The quality food was very good and the cocktail list went down a treat....We had the poppadoms, vegetable samosa and fish pakoras to start with. And then a chicken curry and lamb chops for the main course. Everything was exceptionally cooked and well presented, however I thought the some of the starters were a little expensive (not much difference between the starters and some of the main courses.) Service was friendly, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was lively and made for a great evening I would recommend an inside table if eating on a warm summers evening. We found it very warm eating outside (there are no fans on the outside decking).More

Dear Mark I had replied to yourself on the 31st May at 1948hrs requesting some details but you failed to reply. You have however put on your TA review, that I have not acknowledged your email. Please check your inbox/spam box again. Getting to your complaint, you must have noticed by the look, feel and ambience of Little Bay that we are not a run of the mill establishment in Gibraltar. The reviews and feedback we get on both social media including trip advisor and customer feedback is always of the highest praise, hence the recommendation you were given is valid and rightly justified. Within two short years we have become one of Gibraltar`s main restaurants which is highly popular amongst locals, tourists and corporate clients alike. We do not cut corners and ensure every client gets a superior dining experience that they have come to expect from us. We are consistently the busiest and most popular place to dine with in Gibraltar with many diners coming across the border from afar a field as Marbella and beyond. The two staff you have mentioned have been questioned about your visit and they have suggested that your attitude from the offset was rather aggressive and their replies to your requests are valid. Our tapas menu is only served during our lunch service. During dinner from 630pm we only serve our a la carte menu. The young lady who is new to Little Bay did try to reiterate that tapas are only during lunch but having not been able to placate you, she sent her senior across who I am told apologised but still reconfirmed what she has said. A complaint is understandable about the food, drinks or service but to start making personal jibes is simply not acceptable. I have met her on many occasions and she is certainly not dirty, dishevelled or unclean as you have suggested. We have a strict policy on personal hygiene and all our staff arrive to work in compliance to our rules and regulations. You have mentioned you are in the hospitality business yourself, hence you should understand how much effort is put into each aspect of running a business like this. The young lady who is just beginning her career is learning each day so any attempt to discourage someone with spiteful comments is rather unfair. I personally have run many businesses and Little Bay is something we have hit the ground running with and this would not have happened if I did not surround myself with highly trained, highly respected professionals in the kitchen, bar and floor, a team who have become the envy of many restaurants based here on the Rock. Your opinion and comments are noted and we would welcome you back upon your next visit as we always strive for full customer satisfaction here at Little Bay. I remain, Yours sincerely Bob Kumar Director
