Excellent food. Personality of the wait staff leaves much to be desired; not very friendly at all.

I was very happy with the quality and quantity of their buffet. The restaurant was about ¼ full on Saturday afternoon, and everyone I saw was going back for seconds. The greeter was friendly, and after I stocked up my plate I asked a waitstaff where the naan was and he said on my table. It was the thickest most delectable naan I’ve ever had, fresh from the oven. The food was well spiced and flavorful, and I get one dish that had enough heat to it that I was pleased(I like it spicy). The buffet is a bit over priced at $ 15, but I will definitely go again. The evening menu looks a lot more interesting, but again it’s pricier than most Indian restaurants I’ve been to(which is around 30 from Arizona, California, mid-west). Staff kept the water coming. Nice ambiance too. Paper place-mats for lunch, and they started putting cloth table covers on as the buffet was about to end.

Wonderful food. The chicken 65 special is so good that I don’t know if I’ll get to taste the rest of their menu.

I’ve been here for dinner & at lunch(buffet). Both were good, with a decent array of options at lunch — veg/non-veg, masala & mango lassi. With tax and tip, it cost $ 13 and change. Service was polite both times, but it took a while to get food at dinner & naan at lunch. Some of the food is actually spicy(a good thing for me, because I like spice and most restaurants in this area seem to have a different scale of spicy than I do).

We ordered the chicken tikka masala and the volcano vegetables and an order of garlic naan. We ordered medium heat. It was all delicious but pretty spicy. I like things hot and would have called this hot — it left my nose running. The helping were huge. My wife and I took home enough for one more meal. Because of the size of the dishes I felt this was a great value. The servers were very nice. Great food. I will definitely be back!

Recent experience of 1st Jan’16 —(surely not a good way to start the year!!!) Undoubtedly good food in the area however it’s customer service nightmare!!! Very poorly managed restaurant from customer service perspective!!! It is very common that we walk in and they do not even have a greeting person at the front and have to wait at least 20 to 30 minutes for assigned seating!!! Servers are nice but they spend too much time inside the kitchen, often they bring the whole order together instead of bringing appetizers, main course and desert separately and god forbid if for any reason they have to correct or replace the order than it will surely take 25 – 30 minutes to get it back to your table!!! In nutshell very good food but I would only go there if I have more time and patience/stress baring ability!!!

Kulture Kurry is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the KC metro. Their recipes are on the lighter side as compared to other Indian restaurants. They go easier on the cream and butter and oil than most places I know. Flavors are bright and savory, and the freshness of the food ingredients is unbeatable. The wait staff is quiet and attentive. They stay out of your way, but they don’t let you go without service. The place is clean and modern inside, which can’t be said for some of the competition. For people south of town, this location in Overland Park is supremely convenient. And they have a lunch buffet now, which is outstanding. I eat at Kulture Kurry at least once a week now.

I’m a novice at indian food so I usually get chicken curry with galic naan bread(except it’s not called chicken curry it’s called something that I can’t pronounce or spell correctly). This place is good. I get it delivered every once in a while and I haven’t been disappointed yet!

I’ve been to Kulture Kurry once, for dinner. I will happily go back. I’m a huge fan of Bhindi Masala, Bhindi Pakora, etc. I love okra. And I love creative things done with okra, from stuffed pods to the stewed okra and tomatoes of my Mississippi childhood. Kulture Kurry’s okra dish — Bhindi Kurkuri — is different from any I’ve ever had. It’s thinly shaved and dry cooked with dried peppers. Its interesting texture(crunchy okra, chewy caramelized onions) and delicious flavor would recommend it even to people who say they don’t like okra. The portions are large, served with basmati and papadum + chutney as an appetizer. I had chai(served unusually unsweetened) to drink, which was interesting, but still very good. This place is right around the corner from my work, and on the way home. I forsee many, many takeaway orders of the Bhindi Kurkuri in my future. On ambiance: The service was good, BoH was quick, and everything was delicious. The«radio»(spotify or another streaming service) is the only real annoyance. Because it’s apparently running on someone’s phone and plugged into the FoH speakers, you can hear anytime a text comes in. It’s pretty annoying, since I try to not pay attention to my own phone when dining out, and I’d rather not pay attention to anyone else’s, either.

Great place for lunch. Went here with a few friends a week back and were greeted to some wonderful indian food, the kind that hangs onto your clothes after and makes you need to take a shower to prevent anyone from knowing that you gorged on food for lunch. The price is nice, around 12 bucks for the lunch buffett and there was a great selection of dishes to choose from ranging from vegetarian to meat based which the vegetarians in our groups all appreciated. The korma, curry, and paneer were all delicious of different meat and vegetarian varieties. The service was excellent which probably helped because this was mid-week and we were some of the only people in the restaurant. I think a few of the things could possibly have been fresher but we were on the tail end of the lunch buffet so I would recommend going earlier during the lunch hours. Another odd thing for a restaurant is they close in between lunch and dinner which you don’t often see, but it’s definitely worth making a trip for lunch to try some of their Indian food which is some of the best I’ve had in the KC area so far.

I ordered delivery tonight from this place. I was shocked when I opened my bag to see a small bowl of sauce with 2 small chunks of chicken and lots of onions. I ordered CHICKENTIKKAMASALA, NOTONIONTIKKAMASALA. I mean for $ 28 wtf is this? 2 naan and 1 order Chicken Tikka Masala for $ 28? Delivery fee of $ 5. This is ridiculous. Never again will I order from this place. I asked for the food to be spicy. Guess what, not spicy at all. I have been to many Indian restaurants throughout the US and this by far is the worse. Save your money, go to McDonald’s where their food is more upscale than this place.

Have been here a couple of times now, with Indian work colleagues, when in KC. I am a big fan of both North Indian and South Indian food, and this place does not disappoint when it comes to the former. My visits have been for dinner. Good naan, great lamb chops, paneer masala, and many other dishes.

It was alright. My husband and I decided to try it out because we kept hearing how good it was but it was mediocre at best. This place was empty when we came in at 6pm. I had the tikka masala and it was alright! It was mostly just sauce with little bits of chicken in it. It should’ve had way more meat in it, especially since it was $ 16 for just the tikka and a little bowl of rice. They don’t allow substitutions for naan instead of rice which was a big let down because my husband prefers to eat his with naan instead of rice so we had to order extra naan. We are huge fans of Ruchi’s and thought this place wouldn’t be as expensive but it turned out to be more than what we would spend at Ruchi’s. We won’t be coming back here again. Ruchi’s is definitely the best in the KC area. BEWARE, the prices on their website are lower than what’s on the menu at the restaurant. Not sure why they haven’t updated their website but that was pretty disappointing as well.

I got the kebab lunch specials for my office. $ 11 a piece and it was just a pile of barely-seasoned onions and a few bites of chicken. A total ripoff. No rice. I mean, the three bites of food were alright, but $ 11? Not really a «special» in any sense of the word.

You are greeted by the smell of delicious Indian food and pretty décor as soon as you enter. We tried the paneer butter masala which was outstanding, rich, creamy, and tasted just like what you would have at a restaurant in New Delhi. The dal makhni was was also delicious, although not quite as authentic as the very dark brown version rich in butter and cream, which is how it is served in India. The spice flavors were on the spot. We also tried the aloo tikki chaat and it was good, but not quite like the street-style chaat that is served in India. The icing on the cake was the Indian orange ice cream, which was basically mango kulfi inside an orange and cut into slices — it took me back to the kulfi served on streets of Chandni Chowk as it was so decadent and VERY authentic!

Amazing food. Not a fan of their biryani but all entrees and appetizers were authentic. Do not miss out on Narangi Nasha for dessert(kulfi ice cream inside orange peel) One the best restaurant in this area

My experience at Kk has always been amazing. By far the best indian food in the Midwest. to better describe the food of Kulture Kurrys, i would compare it to the feeling of a flash flood of flavors rushing into your mouth. Over and over and over. Mmmmm…*drools*

Awesome. I was walking into Starbucks with my dad and the smell in the parking lot was amazing. I asked him what it was and he told me there was a new Indian restaurant right next door. We went in and checked out the menu and told them we’d be back later that night… And we were! I went with my wife and parents and we ordered three dishes amongst us and three orders of naan. It was a perfect amount of food. The food was delicious! I wanted to swim in the chicken butter sauce. I wanted to inhale the chickpeas. And the corn chaat, I wanted it to never end. Further, the potatoes were de-lish. Also, the beer selection was good I got a lost coast IPA from Eureka, California. I definitely recommend making this place a regular spot for your dinner! And I’m looking forward to coming here again(probably tomorrow, hah!).

I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. Great, delicious food and our server was very nice. Get the tandoori lettuce chicken wraps, they weren’t super spicy, but the flavor of the chicken was pretty darn good. I’ll just list out the rest: –Chicken Dhabi(chicken in a tomato sauce) was mild, but the chicken was tender and the dark meat was super juicy. The sauce wasn’t too think or too thin. –My husband had the Railway Goat Curry and he loved it. They leave the bones in so be careful(for flavor?) –Complementary long grain rice(with every dish) –Portion sizes were perfect I loved this place and I love the modern Indian décor. Everything in the restaurant is extremely nice and the theme goes together(One of my pet peeves is when you go to a restaurant and they just stick random crap on the walls). Try this place out! Great new location and I was blown away.

New place in town! It’s my first time here but my family has been there twice before. More like a 3 I guess, but 4 for Kansas since I am from California. This review is based on all three experiences: Staff is nice and friendly but still needs more training, which is understandable. The taste of the food isn’t constant. For example the chicken dhaba tasted VERY different both times it was ordered. My review for our to-go order: — Naan: not too fluffy but it was good 4⁄5 — Mutton biryani: we said mild and it was still super spicy. Family said it was better the first time they ordered. According to my experience 4⁄5 — Chicken dhaba: now I don’t know what this is really supposed to be so I can’t give it a fair review. But whatever it was, it was pretty good 4⁄5 — Chicken makhani: in my opinion it had a weird sweet flavor to it and when you eat it with naan or rice, felt like it had no flavor 3⁄5 — raita: had the onions and tasted JUSTOK. it was more watery than a lassi so we didn’t get to eat it with our food. 1⁄5 — Good portion of plain rice. I am not going to rate it. Glad it was cooked well. Overall decent for Kansas but food lacks the authentic flavor of Indian food and they are super expensive! Our bill came out to $ 53.00. If we dined in a tip it would be close to $ 60 and that’s not worth it at all!
