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

Great service, Jesse was awesome in his hospitality! Love the lightness of the food and lack of greasiness that many Indian restaurants have. read more

Curry Craft is our go to Indian Buffet. The quality of the food is always outstanding and consistent. This weekend they had special active food stations serving cheese, masala or chocolate dosas! The staff is always courteous and friendly. We drive all the way from PQ even though there are numerous Indian buffets in Rancho Bernardo and the Miramar area. Curry Craft always leaves us content and ready for an afternoon nap after a cup of complimentary Chai. read more

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

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

My friend invited me to an Indian buffet in San Marcos for lunch. The food was great, and they had a wide variety of dishes for me to try. I've had Indian food before, but I don't remember much about it, so it was nice to see the names of the dishes displayed. Of course, I tried everything! The staff at the restaurant were friendly and kept checking if everything was okay. I also loved that they had both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a really nice ambiance. read more

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

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

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

After a quick trip to the nearby [Superstore], I wanted something different for lunch. I stumbled upon Curry Craft by chance and decided to head in and look at the menu. The store was clean, the staff was very welcoming, and they had a lunch buffet for $17! I couldn't believe the value -- seriously, I asked the host if I had heard him right. Anyway, it was a no brainer. The food was fantastic (I especially liked the crispy garlic naan). I washed it down with house-made mango lassi and thought they were going to have to roll me out like Violet Beauregard. You simply can't beat this place for the price. read more

The food here is good, it's the closest Indian food restaraunt near me when I have a craving for it. They hve a large variety of items to choose from, I usually order food to go, ordering is fast and easy and ready when I go to pick it up. Curry craft is located right outside of Walmart in San Marcos shopping center and easy to find. We like to order the chicken vindaloo and chicken korma, with a side of garlic naan bread and lamb samosas. We usually order our curry spicy hot, but the last couple of orders were not correct. The curry was bland and not spicy at all and one of our chicken orders was replaced with lamb, my reciept said chicken orders. Overall, we enjoy the food and will be back. read more

I've been a huge fan of Curry Craft last 4 years and people working there are the best people. My wife and I enjoyed the curry so much. It is the best curry in my life. read more

We got the chicken tiki masala and lamb curry with garlic naan bread. We had NO regrets! Sucks most restaurants close by 9pm but because that was the case, we found out this place is open till 12am and they give you a free glass of wine if you come after 9pm. Worth stopping by after work. 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

We had a great first experience here thanks to Sidhu who gave us great service. He provided some recommendations and the food came out delicious. I enjoy that they are open later,we will definitely be back again. read more

Amazing food and customer service! They check in on you and always come prepared. I recommend coming here!

I decided to take my sister to lunch this past Monday 7/14/25. As we walked up to the restaurant, an overwhelming stench of human urine overpowered us. You know the smell... of downtown San Diego where the homeless use streets as bathrooms. It's unmistakable. I could barely walk in the door to tell them how putrid the smell was. I about faced and left as quickly as we arrived. This particular restaurant has a covered patio entryway. The tile floor was wet and puddled. Was it water or urine, can't say- but the whole experience put me off that I'll never go back. read more

Best curry in all the land, the warm spices caressed my soul and tantalized my tongue. The butter chicken found its way down my gullet and straight to my heart. The quiet and echoing ambience was the perfect setting to shut out the boisterous world and settle into a fragrant bowl basmati rice. Our dishes were brought to us by the tender loving soul of Sidhu, with his gentle hands he placed our food upon us and his smile brought us great comfort. Sidhu is spectacular and made our night. Above our splendid and flavorful meal, his kindness is the reason to keep coming back. Curry Craft may just be the closest we have to heaven on earth. read more

This is an update to a review I did a few months ago. We visited this location today, 2/4/2024, and were greeted by the very lovely and friendly Sky. I'm happy to report the food is still Excellent !!! Had the Butter Chicken, Chicken curry and the Spinach Paneer. The Chicken curry and the paneer had a little kick to it (chill hot) but not overbearing...just the right amount and was complemented well with the Butter chicken. We had both the plain and garlic nanns, both were delicious and not to filling. They still provide "all you can drink", mango lassi which is as smooth as silk and not to sweat...Bravo & Thank You !!! The fresh salad was made with fresh veggies like, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onions and green baby tomateos and complimented all the curries. I typically debone the tandoori chicken and use the curries to moisten this meat which tends to be dry and hard after baking in the serving trays. A special shout out and a BIG THANK YOU!!! to Sky for being very attentive and checking in on us to see if we needed anything providing us with fresh naans as we needed them. Looking forward to our next visit !!! read more

Came in for the lunch special after seeing the reviews, but it was a letdown. The raita and chicken were both overly salty, the rice was cold and dry, and the chutney had zero flavor. Not much variety on the menu either. Honestly one of the weakest Indian meals we've had -- wouldn't recommend. read more

The staff at Curry Craft were incredibly friendly and attentive, made me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in. It made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The buffet style food was really good. I enjoy all the food options available. read more

Curry Craft had a great buffet that definitely delivers authentic Indian flavors. I love getting a taste of other cultures, and this place does an amazing job at bringing those rich, bold Indian spices to life. My favorites from the buffet were the Saag, Chicken Tikka Masala, Vindaloo, Korma, and the perfectly crispy Samosas. Each dish was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff was super friendly, which added to the welcoming vibe, and the cool music in the background made for a great atmosphere. I was surprised how authentic the food taste, this is definitely a spot I would visit again. They keep it very neat and clean and their prices are really fair! I want to say the buffet was about $17 a person! read more

The staffs are polite, specially the guy who stands by cashier. The only weakness is after 2-2:30 pm they don't fill up the rise at buffet. read more

Kind staff and great food as usual. Made it in time for the evening deal and got mango lassi to go.

The food was amazing and came out quickly. Always enjoy the friendly servers and welcoming staff. We ordered vegetables in a creamy cashew sauce with garlic and plain naan. The food was full of flavor and the portion was enough for 2. I highly recommended giving Curry craft a try. read more

Awesome food! Lots of varieties!! Will be back for more! So stuffed! Weekend have more authentic food!!

It never disappoints. Excellent place for Indian food. We had the lunch buffet today and it was very good at a very reasonable price. Service was very good, they seem to take care of the restaurant and their costumers. They offer complimentary garlic or regular hot bread and hot tea. I Highly recommend it!! read more

TallGirl, AdventurousAunt and I went for lunch the other day, I left happy and full! The short, if you like Indian cuisine. Go here! We chose to go during the time that the lunch buffet was served, because ... you can try a bunch of things and see how they are. When I walked in, I was rewarded with the scents of all of the flavors I was craving and no other restaurant was offering! I was sooo excited. The buffet offered my old favs, but, I really wanted the Manchurian Cauliflower. So, we ordered that off the menu. We were not disappointed!! TallGirl and I found we like our naan different. She likes hers a little more chewy, this offers one more crisp. I thought it was delightful and delicious as did AdventurousAunt! The service was quick, kind and professional. The buffet was well laid out, in a logical, progressive order, it was clean and all the right temperatures. I saw a good amount t of take out orders going out the door. Here's the deal tho, with take out, you miss out on that amazing scent of all of the flavors when you walk in the door. So, you do you boo, but I'll be dinning in. We sat inside, which has both booths and tables, they also have a nice outside patio. The regular menu is robust! Is is presented digitally. Before we even got up, I made TallGirl promise to take me back here soon. read more

Very good food go to place for Indian food!garlic naan is amazing! Very good customer service! Ambiance was nice!

Stopped in to pick up the meal for 2 special: 1 entree, naan, 2 samosas, and a dessert for 30 dollars. I was skeptical that they would give decent portions but the portions ended up being great! Lots of bread, perfect sized entree (we got chicken tikka masala, they filled it up to the top), delicious big samosas. We're very happy with the food. Served 2 plus enough for leftovers. While I was waiting for my order, the front of house guy offered me some water and this is so random but the water was so crisp and smooth. I don't know why that stuck out to me so much, maybe I was just really thirsty but the water really did it for me. He was very nice and hospitable and made sure I was comfortable for the brief amount of time I was waiting for my meal. I haven't tried the buffet but I hope to soon. read more

Curry craft is the best, the staff is always helpful and the food is fresh and delicious. I love that this location is open as late as it is because it's not easy to find real, non fast food places to eat past 9. I stopped by quite late one night when my girlfriend was in the ER, I was waiting for her to get discharged, and had a lovely conversation with some of the staff while I waited for my food. Another time I stopped by and they gave us a couple extra dishes on the house. More than once I've come in to grab food and they've given me a free mango lassi. Seriously give them a try, they're my go to for Indian food. read more

Really nice chicken tikka kabab, unlike the heavily colored tandoor kabab that you see in most Indian places. read more
