Just us and 1 other group. Ordered tandoori chicken, butter chicken, dal makhani and garlic naan. Food definitely looked appealing, but the chicken had a lingering not-so-fresh aftertaste. It wouldn't have been so bad, but 2/3 of our mains were chicken. This distracted us from realizing our naan had no garlic on it. We ordered the regular naan they said, whatever.. I just couldn't stop thinking about why the chicken didn't taste so fresh. The buffet setup should've been the first clue. Seems more like a lunch place. They pass 2.8% credit card fee on to you. How generous. For Indian food, this just wasn't it.

I probably will not be returning, but it wasn't bad. I think non-south Asians would really like it. Edit: I was going to delete my review, but I got a private message from the owner with a ton of attitude, asking me to take this down, but I don't feel like that's ethical. I don't think three stars is bad. So just to restate. The food is not bad. But I'm not going to take this review down because I don't feel like it's appropriate for the owner to message you privately with an attitude and try to strong-arm you into taking down the review. I have left plenty of reviews about restaurants in Little India, and not once as anybody messaged me with the tone that you have used with me. So I'm leaving it up. Live and learn. Edit: I got a notification that the owner continued to add to her comment, so to answer her questions, I don't remember what I got because it was several months ago, but I remember that it was just okay. It wasn't bad but your approach to dealing with your customers is. I don't think that Yelp has the option of messaging people so you can come at them with a shitty attitude and strong-arm them into trying to change their review. You're honestly just making yourself look worse.

Staying in the area and came across Amaravati while browsing Google Maps (because I didn't want to…read moremove my car and lose a perfectly good parking spot). This was walking distance from the hotel. I stopped by Wednesday evening after the dinner rush. Was pleasantly greeted by a friendly gal. I mentioned I wanted to order takeout. They do have a very spacious dining room, but I wanted to get back to my hotel room before dark since I was walking. I had already pre-browsed their Yelp page for dinner ideas - so opted for an order of Butter Chicken (which comes with a side of rice), and an order of Garlic Naan. Requested the butter chicken to be mild (or "as mild as possible"). Wait wasn't too long, there was another order ahead of me. My takeout order was well packaged - everything in its own container/wrapper to ensure they stayed hot and fresh. The delicious aroma was tantalizing on my brief walk back to the hotel. Holy moly. I'm no expert on Indian food - but everything tasted amazing! The garlic naan was hands down the best garlic naan I've ever had. It was warm, fresh, crispy in all the right places, and tasted equally great on its own - as well as dipped into the rich and creamy butter chicken sauce. The side of rice is perfect for one person - and the butter chicken had generous cuts of tender, delicious chicken. Spice level still had a kick to it - but it was manageable. Prices are fair considering the area, and quality of the dishes. Friendly and attentive service! I'm honestly contemplating coming back on my last day in the area for another round of dinner - I'll probably opt for a mango lassi next time to help balance out the spice. Like seriously considering going back here tomorrow night. All the portions were perfect - not too overwhelming, and I finished every last drop - saved some sauce to enjoy my last layer of garlic naan. Honestly, if it wasn't so far away from "home" - Amaravati would be my favorite / go-to Indian food restaurant from here on out. Plenty of parking spots at the time I went - but the stalls are kinda tiny. Luckily, I'm staying nearby, so within walking distance and didn't have to worry about parking.

Yum! What a great find in this area!…read more All the items we ordered were delicious. The paneer tikka masala was flavorful and creamy, the chili chicken was spicy, perfectly seasoned, and the chicken wasn't tough or rubbery. The samosas were excellent and came with both styles of chutney. Our order also came with a small side of rice which we appreciated. My only critique would be that the garlic naan was a bit flat and bland, but the former could be because it just didn't transport well since we ordered takeout. Overall, would highly recommend this spot and it holds its own against some of the more established spots in Artesia, Long Beach, etc.!

She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her excellent service made our first visit even more enjoyable. The food was incredible! I ordered the Chicken Korma, and it was one of the best I've ever had. The sauce was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, with tender chicken in every bite. The meal came with fluffy basmati rice, warm fresh naan, flavorful chickpeas, yogurt, and pickled onions that complemented everything perfectly. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Indian cuisine with outstanding service, Curry Lounge is definitely worth a visit. We will absolutely be back and can't wait to try more of the menu. Thank you, Pawan, for making our first experience so memorable!

However, I don't think the entree should be almost $30 and rice isn't even included.

(: The staff was friendly and welcoming & the restaurant looked clean & had pretty decor. Overall, my food was tasty, my craving was satisfied & I would order from here again, maybe even try the butter chicken next time.

Very modest appearance, probably heightened from a lack of diners/customers; I was the only patron at the time. The walls were decorated with floral paintings and pictures of Indian spices.

The walls were painted white with tan color laminate wood floors. I ordered my favorite, Malai Kofta over rice. Prices were decent, but not the cheapest either. The service was very fast!

Very high end and fancy looking on the inside. Perfect for a date night. Excellent and fun customer…read moreservice. Also love that their restaurant has the tag "unauthentic Indian food" to it. Very intriguing and attention grabbing! Got us for sure! We did free street parking right in front and there were a couple other parties aside from us in the restaurant, but our food came out quite efficiently and we had more than enough for 2 people and we were able to take some home as leftovers to eat later. The bar area is GORGEOUS, the way they display their alcohol looks super glamorous. Perfect backdrop for photos, especially if you wanted like a Hollywood or Great Gatsby kind of thing. Actually, the booth seating was the tallest booth seating that I've ever sat at, which was neat in it's own way too. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Cali Chilli Powerhouse: -This is a zero proof drink. It's a milk blended almonds, pistachio, chia seeds, saffron and green cardamom. -Super rich smoothie like shake. Quite sweet and more of a dessert than anything, but if you like pistachio and almond, this is a very delicious drink. Very smooth and milky. Great to balance out the savory. 2) Pani Puri Poppers: -These are puffed puri bites and we got this half and half with charred chicken and potatoes. Underneath the puffed puri bites were shot glasses filled with mango and coconut, mint and cilantro, and yogurt and ginger dressing dressing. You pour the dressing into the bite and then shove it in your mouth and enjoy! -I've had something similar before at a different Indian restaurant, but I enjoyed it here much more. Dressings weren't overpoweringly sour like I've had at other places. Very refreshing dressings that went great with the protein/carb fillings. Love the crunch of the puff puri. My favorite was the mango coconut. I love the fruity sweetness with the savory. 3) Cali Chilli Pot Pie: -You get to choose your protein and we chose the lamb rogan josh as we got chicken for our other dish. -Comes out SUPER hot. Even towards the end of our meal, the dish was still steaming hot, but it's super unique and delicious. -The pie crust is mostly just the top of the dish and the rest is curry stew and protein below. Super tender lamb meat and flavorful curry. Nice kick, savory depth of flavor and spices. The pie bread part was moist, tender, top was flaky and delicious. A must. 4) Hariyali Chicken Boti Kebab: -This is part of their limited run Long Beach Food Scene Week menu. -It's a Tandoor (clay oven) combo meal made in an authentic tandoor, making the chicken smoky and slightly charred on the outside, and moist, juicy, and tender on the inside. -This dish comes with a choice of carb and salad, so we got the saffron ghee rice with the Cali Chilli Curry Sauce and the Citrus salad. -Delicious mint and yogurt taste to the chicken, both refreshingly sour and creamy, but herbal as well. There's a kick from the green chilies too, making it a great diverse dish of flavors and textures. I don't drink, so I can't really comment on the quality and taste, but the preparation for my boyfriend's drink was super cool. They used fire and poured it here and there. Truly a dinner and a show. The blue of the fire was super neat and great for videos and photos. Thank you for that! Will definitely come again.

Everything they ordered was delicious. I sort of third wheel myself to their dinner plans so they ordered before I arrived. I'm honestly not a fan of curry but they ordered 3 types of curry and I loved all of them! & the Naan -- OMGGGG. They ordered the garlic naan and 10/10. Sooo good. The inside is clean and well decorated. Lighting is dimmed which I love! The waiters were attentive but also gave us space -- does that make sense? They were quick & welcoming. Overall great experience. I'll be bringing my husband next time. Spacious parking, there's also parking in the back of the building & street parking.

Update as of August 16th, 2026…read more We haven't been there in a few months, so we decided to take my mom. We were welcomed by new staff there. Let me tell you, the staff before was fine, but this staff now is excellent.

I mainly had the chicken bowl, which I thought it was pretty good! I liked how it also includes a pita bread with it, although, I wish it was more fresh and warm lol. The ingredients in the bowl were quite fresh though. I also had a side of garlic and wow the garlic made is veryyyy flavorful, including the hummus. I thought it was pretty good! The pita chips were also very nice as they were definitely very crispy, although, not as good if you save it as leftover, but still not bad. We also had a few pieces of falafels on the side, which they were surprisingly pretty good! It was not as fried dense ball as I thought it would be, which it actually made me enjoy or appreciate falafels more. I would definitely try the falafel instead of the chicken next time in my bowl.

The softest, flakiest pastry filled with just the perfect spiced filling of potatoes and peas. The chutney tells you a lot about the quality of food served at any Indian restaurant. The tamarind chutney was a thick paste of goodness unlike the watered version you find at other places. The green chutney was the rustic version we make at home with cilantro and chilies and spiced just right, not watered down with bottled lemon juice that is too sour. The tea was strong and milky . I was short on time and the food was delivered in a timely manners even though it was closing time I will be definitely back to taste their other dishes and judging by the little Snack, I have a hunch I will I'll be surprised again.
