Curry Kitchen

I ordered the chicken biryani today and paid $ 5 flat, no tax, and was pleasantly surprised with the quantity and quality. Felt the dish was made in a very homely style. Perfect amount of spices for a medium spice tasting. It definitely is dollar worth the value.

I work around the corner and this is my go-​to lunch place. I am not going to lie and rave about the food but what you get for the price is undeniable that this is a great takeout lunch option. I typically go for their $ 5 chicken biryani special. You get 2 pieces of dark meat alone with a giant box of fluffy rice. I like the fact that they allow you to choose what kind of sauce you want on the rice; curry… butter chicken… etc. The sauce really adds that extra flavour to the otherwise bland rice. The chicken is tender and rice is a little overcooked but it does the job if you’re looking for a decent affordable lunch.
I have tried the other options they have such as the butter chicken, curry beef… etc. They are again decent but nothing to really rave about.
All in all, a great, cheap $ 5 lunch fix!

Hit and miss here. Chicken biryani is $ 4.99 (tax included) and is a big square box filled with fluffy biryani and two pieces of chicken. Butter chicken is $ 7.99 or something, and it also comes in a big square box. Half of it is a minimalistic green salad (kinda sad looking, actually), and not even very full at that, and the other half the box is filled with rice covered in butter chicken. About 10 – 12 chicken chunks, but not very big ones. Think skewer pieces of chicken. Yeah. The butter chicken was oddly sweet and didn’t taste like most of the butter chickens I’ve had. I would liken their butter chicken to the sweet and sour chicken balls that people say are authentic Chinese food. Not. I’d definitely go back for the biryani. I wouldn’t go back for the butter chicken.

They make a fantastic chicken biryani. Very flavourful, and significant quantity. Then there is the price… $ 5 for a meal that size and that good is quite the steal.
The place is very bare bones though, and I would not recommend eating in; they microwave the food in styrofoam containers. Recommend doing take away, and enjoying their great biryani at home.

I had the chicken biryani, it was good.

Came here for dinner tonight. Got the curry beef special. It was $ 7.00 for an order of beef, rice and and some salad. Very Very inexpensive and not bad… Decore is pretty minimal and the owners seemed happy to see me. He asked if I was a student, told him «I just looked young», very flattering

The food and service here was pretty good. The ambiance in the restaurant is nothing to write home about — but the eats are inexpensive, the food is hot, and it tastes good. Also, the people working we’re very friendly and helpful.
I came here for an unorthodox Christmas dinner with my parents, after checking them into the Hilton Garden Inn, during the week-​long 2013 Toronto power winter blackout. I’m really happy that they’re open, and have tasty food here. We decided on this place because they offered a few more vegetarian options relative to the other restaurants that were open this turkey-​stuffed Christmas evening.
Members of my dining party greatly appreciate food with low sodium, low oil/​grease, and minimally spicy. This place is fairly good in those respects; for some dishes you can request a less spicy meal (not sure about sodium/​oil requests). I had the Chicken Biryani and parents ordered a couple of Veggie Curry dishes. For the price the volume of food and taste is pretty good.
Compared to most of the Indian restaurants I’ve been to, I’d say this place is a good for the price, volume of food, and taste although a reduction in the the salt and oil/​grease would be nice. Also, don’t be thrown off by their use of take out containers. They seem to be used interchangeably as dine-​in/​takeout food receptacles regardless of where you’re eating.

Deadly cheap, but holy sodium.
In this entire forsaken area, it is terrifically hard to find decent vegetarian offerings for under $ 5 — or, dare I say it, under $ 4. For ameliorating that condition with its $ 4 spinach or dahl + rice combos, Curry Kitchen gets 3 stars; they also have daily specials that knock additional loonies off the already impressive prices (for example, on Mondays the $ 6 veg curry + rice + caesar salad + 2 samosas combo is just $ 5). They also have a student discount, which I think is just «tax exemption».
The naan bread is delicious and fresh (tip: you can ask to substitute naan for rice), in contrast to all their other lukewarm-​out-​the-​microwave food. Although the veg curry was pretty good, the spinach was the saltiest thing I’ve had since the last time my doctor told me to gargle with salt water. Hopefully it’s just a one-​time thing; the food was otherwise not bad, considering prices.
I will probably be back. It’s cheap, close, and veg-​friendly, plus the naan is noms.

OMG whatta hidden treasure in downtown core! So underappreciated!
We have been there munching our vegetarian dishes for five and counting times.
Food has always been so wonderful — tasty, warm, fresh, as the name says: home cooked. Yeah, sometimes the guy has been to back to warm up food, but I can recall this only once, really. We usually have veggie curry, dahl (both come with romaine salad) and samosas. Food is a bit spicy, but not too spicy, as even I could handle it with a mild tolerance as mine. Very enjoyable altogether.
Staff is wonderful, two Indian brothers, very attentive and fast, they listen you out and yeah, for students as us we got off from already cheap price. Place is suitable for just sitting down for a moment for a quick but large portion meal. Necessary to add but the one styrofoam box is enough food for two women. During the lunch and evening there will be seats available.
Price range is cheap, as you can get a healthy meal in $ 5.
For somebody who is looking an experience of a new cuisine and is into CHEAP and GOOD Indian food, this place is heaven.

Stopped by here yesterday in the pouring rain.
It was dirt cheap. Possibly the only reason I rated it 2 stars.
The food was heated up in a microwave.
I got the tandoori chicken with rice and salad.
Salad was old. The chicken was flavourful. The rice was meh.
My friends got the biryani.
I was shocked at their portions.
Note: They do a student discount on top of their ridiculously cheap prices.
For that price, you have to wonder what kinda meat they’re using.

first time visit. my food was placed inside a styrofoam container and heated up in the microwave. big no no.
second chance visit. chicken was COLD
third time visit. there won’t be one.

Good and affordable food. Awesome curries and samosas.
