    Ambience : Restaurant tries to combine classic American theme with Indian food. But fails miserably. In a good day light all the curtains were closed and weird lighting was applied. With Bollywood songs older than 2 decades. Nothing of this go well together. Food. : Portion size is not much. Generally a $16 biryani serves 1.5 to 2 people but this one is sufficient for one. Taste is below average. Rice seemed stale with stir fried in oil. Don’t order a Biryani if you are going there and don’t adjust spice level. Because they will adjust the spice level after biryani is cooked which will make it worse. We ordered 6 dishes and liked just one: saag paneer. Chef special chicken karai was below average. Serving: server didn’t have any idea of portion size. Didn’t bother to note down order with different spice levels.

    The food was very disappointing. For dishes that are about $13+ each, they should be full of flavors....I mean this is Indian food so YES should be full of flavors! I ordered the Chicken Korma and Chicken Biryani and a couple of side dishes. When I opened the carton of biryani I noticed right away the rice had a red tint. It was very bland and the only taste I could taste was tomato with no cloves in sight. The korma should be bursting with flavors and it wasn't. I spent about $40 there and all of it a waste. Very disappointing. Will not be going back there again. I read the negative reviews but wanted to judge this place myself. Don't do what I did. Trust the reviews.

    Far too expensive and so oily felt sick afterward and truly almost lost it. Only one (the men's) bathroom working and it was not pleasant. Honestly, 'gentlemen', is it that difficult to aim inside such a large bowl? Sadly, this is not a good venue for conscious plant food eaters.

    Excellent restaurant to learn various Indian cuisine! For those of us that are fully initiated, this is a great place to catch up, as they offer the highly elusive shrimp tandoori. The staff are very friendly and willing to help you find a suitable dish to begin your journey into the land of spice. Dig in friends!

    Ordered lamb samosas, butter chicken and paneer pasanda, with two naan and two rice sides. Didn't need the extra but oh well. The food was magnificent, hot and on time. The order was correct and the pick up was easy and friendly. I highly recommend this place for quality Indian food.

    Food items missing.. poor quality.. always check the food items in the packet else have to sleep hungry... generally I never give negative comments but this one I couldn’t resist myself.. I wish if I could give negative stars. After driving around 10 hrs when you are too much hungry, tired and notice one of your food item is missing..how is it feel?? We ordered 1 chicken biriyani ( which comes out only chicken curry n rice mixed in a paper box and there is NO aroma), 1 chicken vindaloo ( which is only chicken tikka boiled in potato, sauce n RED color) even potatoes r not also cooked properly.. n 1 garlic naan for me which is NOT even in the packet.. they only give the receipt of final bill amount and not the items name and price. Thankfully my husband took the photo of the food price from where we understood that they took the charge of garlic naan but didn’t gave us.

    This food hit the hunger spot! I had been craving Indian food for some time now and I was well pleased with the flavors and temperature of the food! The samosas made this rating go down to 4 stars because the outer coating was too hard overcooked and severely oily! I couldn't even finish them although the feeling inside was pretty good. I really wish that the submissive had a much softer texture with less oil. They made my stomach hurt. Other than that great food choice for that day. I would go back and try it again when I am in the area in the future.

    Grub. I hate the parking lot passionately. It's a mess. Update 4 stars instead of 5 because they gave me 1 rice for two entrées. I'm sure they can redeem themselves next time.

    We came in on a slow night and they were about to close early, but they still helped us with a takeout order and were fast with their service! The food was delicious, we had the buttered chicken and garlic naan

    So good. We lived right across the street from this place and not only were they very kind to us, but there food was always consistently delicious. There's nothing on the menu here I've tried that I didn't enjoy. We literally ate here at least once a month, so absolutely 10/10 would recommend

    Shared several entrees, and enjoyed the variety. Everything was delicious. We should have asked for spicier tandoori is all.

    I read several reviews before visiting Curry King. I have rarely eaten Indian food so I'm unfamiliar with the taste and the types of food that are served. I decided the safest thing was to go to the Tuesday lunch buffet. The restaurant is immaculate, has a nice selection on the buffet bars, and seating is comfortable. The management is very proactive in ensuring one's visit is pleasant. I tried a small portion of everything and liked everything that I took. It appears to be very authentic.
