Curry’s

Obviously, you cannot compare Indian food in Canada to Indian food in India, but my experience at other Indian restaurants in London, Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa, Victoria and Vancouver still beg to question Curry’s situation.
I found the pulaos inedible, and worse than my own sordid attempts at cooking Indian food. The soup I ordered was the strangest things I’ve ever eaten, and I merely ate out of hunger — but immediately regretted the taste. However, the chicken tikka was edible and not bad, but an inexplicable electric pink colour that was alarming to look at while you digested it.
This place is inevitably catered to Western palates that prefer less spice, less flavour and less of anything that’s not salt and butter. For the experienced Indian-​food eater, I would avoid this place and save some serious money.

«Family owned business takes place in a wooden house, themed by Hindu Indian style full of brilliant contrast colours.»
The owners claim that it’s a good place to dine-​in if you are looking for a quiet romantic experience, but for me it wasn’t!
Restaurant’s location was easy for me to find and parking was a piece of cake.
Once I entered I felt that seating layouts of the dining room should be improved, since tables are quite close to each other, separated by a small transparent black chiffon curtain I could hear other guest’s conversation.
Stuff where not that professional she doesn’t know what has to be done, for examples: she wasn’t familiar with menu’s special, she didn’t give me much attention and she took too long to ask me about my order.
I believe that waiting time was very long in comparison to the size of the restaurant and number of customers, as I waited for more than hour for mere two entrée’s and one appetizer.
Since I am conversant with Indian cuisine, I could rate their dishes as very good, they are using a good selection of Indian spices and sauces, however, the dish was very poor as they don’t serve it with rice or French fries, thus forces you to order them separately and of course pay more.
Soft drink was awful, they served it in stainless steel cup which was filled up to only two third without ice and no refills.
Badly, they don’t offer a children’s menu, so if you are accompanying your little ones then you have to order an adult meal.
The restaurant was not that much clean, waitress dust the table by her hand, clean dirty tables by pouring hot water from kitchen kettle then dry it with a dry cloth was under her hand, washroom was not very hygienic.
Finally at the time of payment, the waitress added 15% to the receipt as what they call it «gratuity. I don’t know how did the evaluated herself and added that automatically to the bill in a impressing way that you couldn’t ask her to take it off, moreover, the credit card machine asked me if I would like to pay tips! That was CREEPY.
Overall, I consider it costly in comparison to the service, location food quantity and sanitation.

Food ³⁄₅ some interesting stuff. Some mediocre. Portions are small. Cheap looking.
Service ⁴⁄₅ friendly. Informative. Accept plastic.
Location ⁴⁄₅ old building. Free parking. Not a centre but London is small.
Price ³⁄₅ $ 60 for 2 no alcohol.
Will NOT be back.
No reason. There are many more places to try.

Firstly, I am not an Indian food expert in any way so please consider this review with a grain of salt. Curry’s was a good experience and represents a quality option for in Indian food in London, Ontario.
Two areas where Curry’s excels are in its ambiance and its customer service. The décor and furnishings of the restaurant are create a atmosphere than corresponds with the type of food being served. Our server was very helpful and outgoing throughout the meal, and was able to accommodate our large party of 7 without any trouble.
In regards to the food itself, the first thing you eat are the complimentary papadum which is nice to have. For my main dish I ordered a Chicken Tikka, with a side of mushroom pilao (rice), and Naan bread. The Chicken Tikka was good, nicely presented on a sizzling plate cooked in a tasty sauce. The rice was not my favourite, I felt it was lacking a bit in flavour, and the mushrooms were not in large enough quantities to justify paying extra. The Naan bread itself was solid, nothing unusual one way or the other.
Overall, Curry’s offers a great dine in experience with food that is overall good but could be better in some regards. It may not compare to Indian restaurants in cities better known for their dining reputations, but is definitely enjoyable and a solid option for Indian food in London.

I thought every cook is allowed to have a bad day so I took my family for second time to this place. I was shocked at what is passed off as authentic Indian food
We ordered tandoori chicken thinking nothing can go wrong with dish as every thing tastes great once put in tandoori which Is Indian BBQ. What we were served was not even close to tandoori chicken, it tasted boiled chicken dipped in tandoori sauce. Give away was vegetables put on the skewers along with the chicken were raw. When we asked the server we were told this is their Verision of tandoori chicken without using tandoor. May be they need to be more honest about what they are serving. Felt ashamed by my own kind

Had a groupon to Curry’s so decided to check it out with a friend. We arrived around 6:30 on a Sunday and there were roughly 2 other tables inside. The waitress took several minutes to come take our order. We decided on the butter chicken, lamb biryani, and Susan’s pakoras as an appetizer. Surprisingly, the butter chicken came with no rice or bread unless you ordered it separately for an additional cost, which I thought was weird considering its butter chicken. The appetizer was mediocre. The butter chicken was good and the biryani left much to be desired. The lamb was dry and the yogurt (also for an additional cost) was very runny. The food took a long time to come so we didn’t order dessert. For two entrees, an appetizer, and waters, the meal was $ 50 including an already added gratuity. The food wasn’t terrible but definitely wasn’t worth $ 50. I bought two groupons and I’ll likely be returning the second one. This place is okay if you’re craving Indian food — I think it’s the only Indian place in London although I could be wrong — but I wouldn’t go here if I had other choices.

First time at Currys just for Take out. The ambience is incredible in the restaurant. Ordered Biryani, appetiser plate, Butter Chicken. Food was amazing at home. All mild as I love Indian Food but have a low tolerance for spicy hot. Found it a bit pricey but again served from scratch so it takes longer as well. Will definitely return!

Fantastic food and great service. Our group ordered a variety of dishes to share, and all were really good. They play it pretty safe with the heat levels, so if you’re pretty good with spicy food, you’ll probably want to go for «hot» at least. «Medium» seems like it’ll be okay for almost anybody. You won’t be surprised by food way hotter than you expected based on the descriptions.

Very nicely decorated Indian restaurant, just across from the LCBO. It is reviewed on Unilocal as the best Indian Restaurant in London, ON, but it falls short of the indian food in Toronto, which is really amazing.
I had the butter chicken and I asked for ‘mild’ but it came completely bland. It tasted like cream — almost no spices. I didn’t want it to be hot, but definitely didn’t’ want it bland. Nevermind, I still ate it since I was hungry.
The ambiance is good, lots of colorful decorations, but the food can be much, much better.

Was here today for lunch and just was a compete miss. I’ll stick to basic of what I felt and let you make your own choices.
Arrived 115pm Friday, 3 other tables taken and we were sat. Given lunch menus which are all combo meals which include salad, Nan bread, veg and main.
When I asked if I could order a bunch of different items was told no as they come as a combo, ok no problem and ordered lamb vindaloo and my partner butter chicken. By 230 we still had not been served yet and when I went to the waiters area and asked she had apologies etc. OK Thank you (things happen)
I ordered hot for my main, later in the meal I had to asked gain go to the waiters area asked gained ask for water. She said «yes when you eat spicy you need lots of water» u hmmm the steel cups you give for water at 115pm don’t last even for non spicy dishes. but anyways.
Over all I’d go back but not for awhile.
Pros — location, dinning atmosphere
Cons — staff on cell phones, poor service, unfortunate menu items.

Curry’s restaurant is anything but good. Service was lovely but food not edible. We eat a lot of Indian food but this was greasy, horribly spiced and tasted like cardboard! Take a pass on this establishment!

The food is terrific and the service is always the best. The chicken madras is my favourite. My boyfriend loves the West Indian dinners. You won’t be disappointed dinning here.

I had better expectation from this place.
The inside is soo adorable — very authentic, as far as I know anyway, and super cozy. This would be a great first date spot if you don’t plan on sleeping in the same bed afterwards. It is indian food…
Goat saag was pretty good, goat was soft and there was plenty of it.
Butter chicken was meh. I have had better, I would try something else on the menu maybe not something so basic white girl next time.
The thing that killed it for me were the chicken drum sticks. They took forever to make. When they came out they were kind cold. The chicken tasted old… like you know when the chicken itself is «of age»? Like that. IT WAS SO RED. I don’t know what the spice is called but there was too much of it and I think my finger tips are still pink 2 weeks later. That plate could feed like 5 people, but of course I ate the whole thing myself.
I would come back not so close to closing time maybe that was the problem… this place has some serious potential though.

Amazing Indian food, better naan. We always order way more naan than we need because it’s so good. I can’t get enough of the vindaloo while the wife adores the aloo gobi. The basmati actually makes me feel insufficient as a cook, it is done so well. The samosas are delicious, good sized and affordable as well.

Food and portions were of good quality and fair size. The prices are a bit steep for Indian cuisine. The people are very kind and truly care about the business and keeping customers happy! Would return here if wanting to do a fancier Indian dining experience.

A cozy little restaurant in London, Ontario Canada. We were traveling via road (401 W) and checked to see if there were any Indian restaurants and Curry’s popped up in the search. The restaurant is small however has a very unique signature of its own. Ambiance is very welcoming and reminded me of restaurants in London UK. Small but very comfortable.
We were greeted with extreme enthusiasm by our server so much so that I think that she was also the owner. A very sweet lady and she showed pride in the restaurant and the food that it was serving.
The menu was also unique in the sense that it was not the customary Indian menu with a listing of available dishes and prices. Curry’s menu revolves around complete «Thaalis» (Plates/​Platters). Each thaali has a theme. For example, a Tandoori thaali may have Tandoori Chicken, Rice, Veggies, Naan etc. and A Butter Chicken thaali may have the chicken as the main course accompanied with its own side items. We had the latter and the flavors were something that I had not tasted in a long time. The Butter Chicken was prepared perfectly and the touch of cinnamon added to the great taste and aroma. The vegetables that came with the thaali were just as tasty. The portion was enough for two people. The price was approximately $ 16.95 CAD. Well worth it.
We ordered a Mango Martini which was a great balance with the spices in our food. This restaurant also has free WiFi.

If I had eaten here early in to my trip to London, I would have been back each night until i had tried all the items on the menu.
The plain and garlic naan is a hit.
The butter Chicken, yummy.
The service and the company fabulous!

First time ordering from there tonight and it is now on the favorites list! Everything was delicious! The garlic naan bread, beef vindaloo, butter chicken and samosas were all hot and cooked perfectly! We will definitely be ordering from here and visiting the location after reading the reviews.

I recently won a dinner for two here through a contest on the Londonlicious Facebook page. I had an amazing time. They were super accommodating when I needed to adjust my reservation. Our food was delicious. We both had the curried butternut squash soup, I had the South Indian Pepper Chicken. I think my favourite item was the Saag Dhall. I also ordered a side of onion bhaji and a mango lassi. The bhaji were HUGE. It was delicious, our server was awesome, attentive but not in your face. I’d definitely go back.

I’ve gotten delivery from here several times because I figured with the gas prices, it was cheaper to order in than go there and pay tip. On top of that, I don’t have to change out of my pajamas, and I like not having the restriction of jeans when I’m eating delicious and carb filled foods.
First off, their naan is amazing. Seriously, I don’t know what they do to it, but I have to literally push the entire order of it to the other side of the table to restrain myself from devouring it all. My husband ordered three orders once and we ate all of it. Pair that with their Matar Paneer or Butter Chicken and it’s like the food gods are rejoicing in your mouth.
The other day when I came in (because Groupon loves me and had a great 10 for 20 deal), I finally got to see their lunch special first hand. My husband got the butter chicken and I got the Madra Chicken. I was first served a salad and soup. The salad was good, and the soup was delicious but it was so flavourful, I had a hard time finishing it. When I got my madra chicken, I was a little dissapointed, mostly because the curry wasn’t too my taste.
The waitress came by and noticed that I wasn’t really touching my food and accommodated to my pickier taste buds by getting me the butter chicken.
The experience was so great that I can’t help but give them five stars
