The best Indian food I've had since the Sitar closed down! Great choices and many of my favorites were really yummy. Good texture and flavor. The only problem was lack of convenient parking and the space was small. Otherwise, I'd call it a little gem and I plan to go back soon.
Let me start by saying I order from here frequently and I’m always impressed. I felt compelled to write this review tonight because I was really craving some Indian food and what I got was transcendent and satisfying in every way imaginable.
I ordered chicken vindaloo, and my partner ordered vegetable samosas. I’ll start with the vindaloo. The chicken and potatoes were fresh and cooked perfectly. The gravy was a symphony of flavor - the acidity, spices, textures, and heat all blending together in perfect balance. While some Indian restaurants hold back on the heat to satisfy a mainstream American palette, Curry Leaf does not, to my delight. On top of this, the rice was light, fluffy, and nicely seasoned as usual.
The samosas disappeared nearly as soon as they came out of the bag. The shells were crispy and perfectly cooked, and the stuffing was delicious as well (I insisted on taking a bite). It came with 7 different chutneys, sauces, and creams for dipping, ranging from sweet and tangy to hot and spicy.
The order came with naan, which I can always tell is prepared fresh. It’s never overcooked, it’s delicious, and again, the perfect texture.
The man who rang me up was friendly on the phone, and when I came to pick up the order. As I was leaving he called me back to the counter and gave me an extra dessert cake.
I can’t rate Curry Leaf highly enough! I hope they stick around forever so I can keep ordering from them.
Enjoyed the low-key atmosphere and hospitality. Even though it wasn't crowded they made sure to refill the buffet with hot foods.
Cute place, great selection for the buffet. Baklava looked so good. Price was also bang for buck. Love little corner gems like this
Stopped by on our road trip. The food and service was great. Overall very cheap menu also so great value for money.
