    Pistachio Chicken Korma Basmati Rice Kashmiri Lamb Rogan Josh
    Heather B.

    What a wonderful addition to downtown Smithfield! We started with the Samosa Chaat, and it was outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and layered with the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. The Lamb Rogan Josh was tender and rich with beautifully developed spices, while the Pistachio Chicken Korma was creamy, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. From the first bite to the last, the food was so good, we ordered an entire second meal to go. The service was warm and attentive, and you can tell there's real pride behind the food. We'll definitely be back to try even more of the menu. Highly recommend! Curry Corner Indian Cuisine is a gem for anyone craving authentic Indian food in Smithfield.

    Curry Corner is a new addition to Downtown Smithfield. It has been in businesses about two weeks now. I think it is the only restaurant in Smithfield with Indian cuisine. It is open for both lunch and dinner. You can dine in at one of the tables, at the bar, or outside. The restaurant is on the smaller side with eight tables, making it feel cozy. The restaurant has a nice ambiance with the decor, the Bollywood music, and dancing on the television above the bar. As street parking is no longer allowed in Downtown Smithfield, that is not an option. The restaurant does have its own parking lot. It is just a little confusing to find the entrance. I saw the lot but couldn't figure out how to get to it. But I did ask, and you access the lot from the Wells Fargo entrance. When I entered Curry Corner, I was allowed to choose my own table before the restaurant filled up. I was served complimentary papadam, a crispy bread, and three dipping sauces. I forgot what they were, but I liked the green and tomato ones. I was given some time to look over the menu. The menu offers a variety of items, from butter chicken to tikka masala to tandoori to korma to vindaloo to karahi to saag. The menu has vegetarian and meat dishes. I went with the shrimp korma as I didn't think I had tried that dish before. I also got an order of garlic naan. I ordered a mango lassi, and they brought out another complimentary dish of rice pudding. I did enjoy the shrimp korma. The flavors and portions were good. It was a creamy sauce with nuts and raisins. I had to take some of the dish to go. I left it in the hotel refrigerator, so I am disappointed I didn't get my leftovers. I considered driving back to get it, but it was likely tossed during the time I drove home. So that just means I need to return to Curry Corner for more. The garlic naan was perfect for dipping into the korma. The mango lassi and rice pudding were also a great part of my meal. The spice level can be ordered from 1 to 5. I ordered a 2, and it was a little spicier than I expected, but not so spicy that I couldn't enjoy it. The service was very friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in the door. I liked that the atmosphere was relaxed and I was not rushed. Payment can also be made at the table. Curry Corner is a great addition to Smithfield.

    Chili paneer

    Only one way to describe eating at Curry Corner, 5 words: GONE AND WENT TO HEAVEN!! We are from New York, where any kind of cuisine is available. Indian is our favorite. In all of Joco, maybe even all of NC, this is hands down the most delicious, authentic & satisfying Indian food we've eaten since moving here in 2018. Last night was no exception. The juicy & crispy meat samosas were a party for the palate. The green chutney, fantastic. The tamarind chutney beyond description!! Dip anything in those two chutneys and it's an incomparable flavor fiesta!!! The chili paneer, to die for. Perfectly cooked, robust peppers & onions, paneer cubes, seared to perfection!! The chicken Tikka masala, mouth watering!! The chicken vindaloo dinner was untouchable culinary complexity. The Chicken chili Karahi, utterly fantastic, perfect rice and of course crispy garlic Naan to scoop up all the delectable sauce the chicken is swimming in. If I could jump into the sauce and just swim in it, I would. Yes!!! It's that good. It's reasonably priced and the waiters cater to your every need. The chef cooks everything to your individual spice level, and you are left stuffed and satisfied as a pig in mud! The food is so good, you just might slap your mama. So, if your hankering for exotic excellence, this is a hidden gem, an absolute treasure in sleepy little Smithfield. Give it try, cause a little bit of spice never hurt nobody. I hope Curry Corner remains in our downtown for a very long time, life is too short, buy the shoes, take the trip, eat the delicious food at Curry Corner, where you are treated like family, and fed like family too!!!

    Lunch menu

    When I say that I witness the best customer service at this restaurant I mean it! People was coming in with list of lunch orders and they went out of the way to grab the list and write everyone's name of the order so there's no confusion. I loved the attention to detail I saw, from the food and cleanliness. All the food was cooked to order and tasted delicious. Prices was great. I order a to-go order and even the lamb chop was very tasty and tender! Wish it was a little more crispy but it was still delicious. Definitely would recommend

    Samosa Chaat. Soooo delish and great portion for sharing!!
    Cheryl B.

    This place is amazing! We haven't eaten in the restaurant but we've ordered take out a couple of times. They've always made the food with the right amount of heat. They even ran to catch us bc we forgot to grab our drink! I would recommend eating here if you love Indian food or if you want to try something new!

    Left is basmathi rice, center is chicken curry, right dish is palak paneer garnished with little sticks of ginger.

    The food, service and ambiance were all great! The food had the correct spices and the flavors were balanced. The chef would adjust the spiciness to your taste. The potions were generous and the staff kind and attentive. We are lucky that they have opened their restaurant in Smithfield!

    We had such an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu -- they took the time to answer questions. The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish was full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about quality and authenticity. They were also incredibly accommodating with food allergies everyone at the table had something they loved. The service was seamless, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding Indian cuisine and exceptional hospitality!

    Flat bread, forgot the name.... Delicious with garlic.... Used it on the sauce In the dish

    The lamb was extremely firm. I've never had lamb that you had to chew for 5 minutes and you can't even cut through even with a knife

    The food is authentic, delicious and the portions are adequate. A Plus is they are here in Garner…read morenear by. I don't have to drive to Cary or Raleigh to get my favorite food!

    Easy enough to find in the back of a Garner business district. Not bleeding parking, but we did…read morejust fine. You can make reservations using the Yelp app, but we got there at 6pm Thursday and tables were open anyway. It filled up in about 90 minutes. Not a lot of pics in the huge menu. They have specials on certain days. After we ordered, we found out about a great deal for Thursdays. It was our fault we missed it because it was written RIGHT THERE on the menu. The lack of pics made it tough to order, though I'd had Indian many times. And the thick accents from the employees didn't help us to decide anything. Myself, I just stuck to curry. I picked mutton because I'd always wanted to try it. Yelp pics didn't help much either because few people write in descriptions what the photos are. Everything tasted amazing. They really know their food. Not to take anything away from the main dishes (I told you I loved them) but the standout for me were the fried pepper appetizers. A mix of just enough outside crunch and soft inside flavor. I'm no fan of chai tea, but I really liked theirs. The mutton was great, but I more prefer my meals without bones in them. Like with oxtails, which are routinely more skeleton than flesh, it's never a fine experience finding your bite to be a mouthful of bone. It's overrated, I promise you. The bill paying system is grossly inefficient. Tell them you want separate checks and nothing happens until the very end where everyone has to tell the server what they ordered, in a language they don't understand, mind you, and she charges everyone, one by one. It took like ten minutes to get through our party of five. It's a really bad method. Since it was my birthday, they played a YouTube video over the speakers. It was a generic "Happy Birthday To Whomever" type deal that worked fine, but they let it play for its whole fifteen minute runtime. It was cute, funny and ridiculous all at once. Wonderful food, nice servers, language barriers can be tough, and some questionable business practices still make this one a solid keeper. Just brace yourself.

    Just tried this restaurant for the first time, after seeing great chatter about it on Moore Foodies…read moreon Facebook, and I can say I was impressed! Food was delicious, table settings were very neat, and our server was a very nice guy from New York. I was hesitant to try due to the location, however, everything inside was extremely clean, and the dining room surprised me with how nice it was. The only downside is the small portion of meat in each dish, but the flavor made up for it! We will be going back.

I've lived…read morein major cities like New York and tried Indian food all over the country, but Royal Taj is hands down the best Indian food I've had in America. The flavors are always spot on and the food tastes truly authentic. It reminds me of home every time. I usually order the tandoori items, dosas, and their famous bullet naan. The curries are rich and flavorful and everything is made with so much care. While I'm not a vegetarian, my family is, and they always have a great experience here. The paneer tikka masala and malai kofta are their absolute favorites and I've enjoyed them too. Since it's located at the Days Inn, parking is never a problem. There's always plenty of space which makes visiting really easy. The staff and owners are incredibly warm and friendly. They make you feel welcome and genuinely care about your experience. If you're anywhere near Southern Pines, make sure to stop by. This place is truly a gem.
