This is a great place to stop in for lunch. Good food and an amazing lunch buffet! We come back again and again for lunch. I love the veggie options and can't get enough of the Lamb Curry. Everything is always fresh at the buffet. I haven't ever ordered straight off of the menu because the buffet is so enticing. The samosas are large. I can never finish one. If you decide to stop in don't forget to take a cup of the chai tea on the buffet. It's made from scratch and oh so tasty. They'll make you fresh naan with your buffet lunch. read more

Incredible, incredible, incredible! The chicken is incredibly tender. The basmati rice is exactly what you're looking for. The naan is perfection. The service is incredible and is this one of the spots that we come to on a regular basis. I cannot recommend this place enough!!! read more

Best place and the best food. I will definitely visit this place again. Their Paneer tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, Garlic Naan and Manchurian is awesome. read more

Terrible! Poor service and the buffet was abysmal. Food in the buffet line was stone cold. I'm so disappointed curry chicken chunks were hard, samosas were rubber in texture and sauces were runny. Never going back. Maybe the food is better during the lunch hours during the week. I don't know how they got so many good ratings. read more

I love this place! It's probably my favorite Indian restaurant. I had the shrimp tikka masala and it was so delicious! I got an 8 on the heat scale (1-10) so it was spicy but not inedible, it actually enhanced the flavors because I love spicy food! I also ordered the garlic naan which paired really well with my curry. You get 4 fresh pieces. I ate so much but I still had leftovers to take home. Great portion sizes! In addition, I had the sweet lassi and this was pretty good too! The customer service was excellent! Sidhu and the other worker did an excellent job with the timing, efficiency, and friendly customer service! The prices were good too! It was definitely enough for two people. The restaurant is casual but nice. You can take friends and family here and they'll be able to accommodate you. FYI: On the weekends they also have a buffet. I will be sure to come back here for the delicious food, value, and customer service! read more

Great India buffet! I very good variety of yummy food! There's always something different when I eat here. I like how they have mango lassi and chai for an option to drink. They have tiny cups for you to try it. Which is understandable. Service is pretty friendly. I definitely get super full with just the first plate. My favorite that day was the chicken curry, the veggie, tandoori chicken, lamp curry, naan, and chips. Pretty spacious restaurant. Great for groups, couples, or by one's self. read more

Curry Craft - Buffet - Indian Near Me - San Marcos, California

My husband and I were staying at a local resort and looking for food late night, and we ended up finding this place. WHAT A GEM!! The fish and chicken tikka masala were so flavorful and they are generous with portion sizes. Also highly recommend the samosas and garlic naan! They offer a free glass of wine or mango lassi after 9 pm, which was such a nice touch. Gurjab was our server and he was such a vibe, super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

The last time I came to Curry Craft was probably within a couple years of the pandemic, but I remember it was a great location. Coming back again, and I can still stand by the fact they are one of my go to spots for Indian curry. Staff is friendly and helpful, restaurant is clean and spacious. Another perk, they are one of the few locations for late night food runs, open as late as midnight!! One of the biggest differences since coming here is they have a buffet option that was pretty reasonable buffet for lunch and dinner between $17-20/person with available add ons for beverage and naan choices. I was so excited to get my food I forgot to take a picture.... I ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan to go. The bowl of butter chicken was securely wrapped in Saran Wrap to keep everything safe, but be warned, the bowl is extremely hot!! Portions are great for the price and very filling. The food was well balanced and thankfully not too spicy for the mild spice level. read more

Last night I ordered some food to go, and figured I'd take a chance. Glad I did! I ordered the Shrimp Tikka Masala, and garlic naan. The food was good! The food was well worth what I paid, and the gentleman helping was very pleasant not only to me, but to everyone who walked into the door. I found a great Indian restaurant in town. Great stuff. read more

Solid Indian buffet price for lunch and dinner. When we came in I thought the service was a 2/5 because the heater was on during dinner time and it was so stuffy and the waiter seemed inattentive. She didn't really tell us where to sit or if we needed high chairs for our two girls. Within around 5 minutes though, the AC was on. The waiter checked on us and the buffet was solid. My husband said it was a 5/5. I give it a 4/5 for the menu selection and lack of direction or any dietary warnings (milk or any other ingredients used). Love that it comes with chai tea and the garlic naan was a 5/5. For the price, it's really good especially in the North County area. read more

We used to love this place and now they've started watering down their curry making it super runny! We won't be going back after these few experiences. Very disappointed as we've been long time customers. read more

AMAZING FOOD! Great pricing ! GET HERE NOW!!! The staff is friendly and the food tastes great. Depending on the day you go, they have different kinds of food. Give it a try! read more

Absolutely delicious. I missed this place so much. Lunch buffet is the greatest buffet there is.

Got the buffet and the food was hot and ready when we walked in! Started with salad and worked our way to the appetizers. After got a little bit of everything mixed in with rice and they provided some fresh naan bread to our table when we were seated. Love that we get to have our own pitcher of water for our own table. The mango drink was the best day to end the meal. Service was outstanding as well! Thank you and will be back! read more

We dined here for two for dinner on a weekday. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The garlic naan is the best I've had in a while and our entrees were very delicious. Went with a 4/10 spicy level to test the waters. Looking forward to coming back again soon and trying spicy level 5 or 6! read more

Great food, attentive service, nice quiet atmosphere. If you're getting a meal, I strongly recommend the Butter Chicken. Or if you can't decide, the buffet is a great choice because you can sample a little bit of everything! read more

Wow! I've been to a lot of Indian food buffets in my life, and I do believe this is my favorite! I had the Monday lunch buffet for a very reasonable $18 plus tax and tip. The place is very clean. The staff are polite and efficient. The buffet line is beautifully laid out and kept clean and stocked. They have both metal and porcelain plates, but unfortunately use styrofoam for their chai and paper bowls for the kheer. The salad is the best I've had, not the usual iceberg lettuce and a few cucumbers, but green lettuce and a variety of extras. They put a pitcher of water on your table so you don't run out. The food was all done perfectly. They bring out fresh garlic naan made to order. There was the usual Bollywood playing with commercials on the TV. read more

Came here because my regular Indian buffet is not open on Monday. I think I found my new regular Indian place. It's a bit of a drive from my house, but it's so good it's worth the drive. They don't have a huge selection of food, but whatever they have to offer, it's all delicious! I especially enjoy tandoori chicken. It's surprisingly tender. The server was attentive but not overbearing. He didn't hover but was always available when we needed him. The one thing that pushed it over for me was the chai masala. I've never been to an Indian buffet that included chai. I'm a sucker for chai masala. It was SOOOOOO good! I try to make it ay home myself but can get never get it right. I can't wait to go back! read more

I got the buffet option for $18.99 and $1 for garlic naan. I never had mushroom masala there and I think about it every night since I've had it. Very good salad option to get that fiber before your curry rice carb loaded meal. Love this spot. Service was nice and place had plenty of seating. read more

Great food, love their buffet and very friendly staff. Try high spiciness, you won't be disappointed

I am addicted to their chicken tikka masala. Such amazing flavor. Juicy chicken cooked perfectly. Great with the garlicky naan. I really liked how friendly and pleasant the girl was who took my order. The music videos playing on their tv inside was a fun and entertaining touch. Overall I had a very nice experience here and their food is delicious so I'm absolutely going to be a regular here! read more

Ordered 50 samosas for a party and they were a huge HIT! Everyone, desi and non-desi guests, complimented how much they loved the samosas. Perfect crisp, filling and spice. Wish I had taken pictures read more

My family have been going to curry craft in San Marcos since they opened and supported them all through Covid until now. We have always had good food in there until today. The curries I got tonight were bland and seemed to be watered down. Not sure after today if I will continue to support this business or not. Maybe time to find a different curry restaurant to spend my money. read more

Have been here a handful of time during their lunch buffet and have always left happy. The price is very reasonable for all you can eat Indian food. They have a small "salad bar" section and then about 8 dishes to pick from for your main meal. They have had samosas, butter chicken, tiki masala, curry chicken, vegetable korma, dishes with mushrooms and peas, different kinds of rice. They also provide garlic or plain naan along with a tea. Their bathrooms are always clean and the service is pretty non existent, but its a buffet for an amazing price and great food. read more

Eating here yet again and it never disappoints. Even at night when some people think the food isn't fresh... WELL IT IS The service here is just amazing and I've become a regular they remember me. Trying a spice level 2 on my chicken masala. My boyfriend loves the vindaloo today so I'll see how it goes. The restaurant and atmosphere is still calming , clean and welcoming. I'll be back soon read more

Food is amazing,affordable and staff is very friendly.The Mango lassi was very refreshing and was included at their lunch buffet.

The food was so very delicious! The service was great, very attentive and so friendly. I love the art by the benches.

Came here for the buffet yesterday and had to go again today - so good! Staff is very friendly and on top of things - Gurjab made sure we were taken care of and made our experience there so pleasant. read more

The food was excellent, we ordered garlic naan, chicken curry, and saag paneer and it was all very delicious. The service was top notch, they were able to answer all of our questions, which can be a lot sometimes because of a nut allergy and we're super friendly but not hovering. The music is at a good level that you can talk to your group without overhearing much of others conversations but also not being deafened. I especially love the artwork and decoration, I commented on it and was told that the owner's wife did all of it, so definitely look at everything while you're here. 10/10 read more

Service and food was excellent! So friendly, we went on a Saturday. They even had Indian street food to sample. Great experience.

Chicken Tikka was the best. Multiple times here to try different curries and all well spiced and delicious. Service was great and Jessie was knowledgeable in explaining different options. Will definitely be back. read more

For an Indian lunch buffet this hands down the best in SD or I'll even say the best south of Artesia. I grew up with Indian food so I'll know right away if they offer more authentic dishes other than the usual stuff. I dare u to find another place that offer dishes like mushroom masala, bhagan bharta , aloo gobi, bone in goat curry in addition to the usual stuff . Awesome stop for me everytime I'm in the area read more
