I liked dining here, food had flavor. Service was good and prices were reasonable. Will visit if in the area

The food is amazing. One of my favorite places to eat. I love their lunch special. I reviewed one bad experience i had, but that was only once.The staff is really friendly read more

Wow! Unexpectedly, I have found a new Indian favorite, and just in a nick of time!! (My all-time favorite here in NYC was Madras Cafe, which recently has closed its doors in Manhattan.) So what do you do when you're grieving a love lost? Distract yourself with a delicious replacement, of course! While I was working late, I decided to give the relatively new-ish theCurry Spot a try. I ordered some takeout to scarf down while still at the office, and I'm so glad I did!! While I usually tend to order entrees like Saag Panir or Malai Kofta, this time I opted for the Yellow Takra Dal (Yellow lentils with onions, fresh garlic, and spices.) It was deliciously flavorful---rich but not too heavy, with subtle spices that left me with a really satisfied feeling. It was served with delicious Basmati rice, with something orange added (spices?) I also splurged and ordered the Garlic Naan, and it was garlic-y goodness beyond compare. (Probably not a good thing to order during/before a date, although it was quite tasty...) Judging from what I've had so far, the other menu items promise to be very good as well. Everyone working there was so friendly too!!! I can't wait to go back! read more

I rarely review restaurants but Curry Heights' lunch deal is absolutely phenomenal. Saag paneer was delicious, melt-in-your-mouth. Tikka Masala was also great. Second time coming here and will be back for more! Don't understand the low yelp reviews. read more

My favorite Indian restaurant in the area. Friendly service, lots of options for people who both do and don't eat meat, great tandoori choices. Very reasonably priced. read more

It's ok at most. The delivery service is terrible, they spilt everything and just shrugged it off when I asked about it. I even indicated for them to put them in a plastic container to prevent it. The chicken tikka was really really dry. I wouldn't say it's the worst and definitely not the best. But if you're craving some chicken tikka masala or saag paneer. Then this is a spot for you. read more

Really just not good. Oh, and there was a STAPLE in my chicken tikka dish. Yes, I'm serious. Chana masala was flavorless too. The place itself is just sad. On a Friday night at 8 pm when I went to pick up my food there was 1 couple in there. read more

Wow. I've never written an online review before, and I don't like the idea of being inspired to write my first by a horrible experience. NEVERTHELESS... Wow. This place sort of ruined my night. First, the person who took the order was super rude, which normally I don't really care about. Sometimes I think it can be chalked up to language barriers or what-not. I laughed it off, even though I had to call back after the person took my address (but not my order yet), then set the phone down for several minutes. I could hear him taking other orders in the background. When I eventually told him I wanted to pay by credit card, he questioned me and tried to talk me out of it. I waited an HOUR AND A HALF, and finally called. Someone different answered, and he was very deferential and apologetic. He said that they were very busy, but that the food was on its way. ANOTHER HALF HOUR later the buzzer rang. I went downstairs (I am in the top floor of brownstone, no buzz-in). The delivery man had no pen for me to sign the charge slip with. I told him it would be fine, I told him just to sign it himself, that the restaurant would have no problem taking the money out of my account -he looked stricken - and closed the door. He immediately started pounding on the door and shouting. I opened the door, went back up to my 3rd floor apt. got a pen, and signed the charge slip. THE FOOD. There were none of the three sauces/garnish that normally come with an Indian food order. The chicken in the Tikka masala was so overcooked it was hard to chew. And the naan was inedibly undercooked - the dough was still, well, literally just dough on the inside. I'm sorry but they really don't deserve to be in business. read more

I have had Indian food many times in London, Tokyo and New York, and can say that Curry Heights was delicious and as good as the best of them. Okay, my chair was a little creaky, but our waiter was very friendly and added to our enjoyment of the dinner on a Saturday night. Lots of parking meters around as well - free after 7pm. The place was full. The lamb tikka masala, their flavored rice which comes with all curries, and their lightly garlic seasoned naan were especially good. We also had some tiny tandoori chicken wings, and a creamy broccoli dish - both very good. And my son liked the mango lassi. As their rice was soooo good and perfectly cooked, next time I would like to try their biryani. Our waiter also suggested the fried breaded chicken lollipops for our kids, sounded great, but we were trying to avoid gluten that week so turned it down. Anyhow all our dishes were really delicious; I am sure that in NY the taste of their food is one of the best, and the ambiance of our waiter too. read more

Here's a breakdown of lunch yesterday; my first time at Curry Spot... I ordered: lamb-mint samosa and lamb biriyani lunch special, which includes naan, a bit of lentil soup and a dessert. The Good: In fairness, the lamb-mint samosas were delicate and flaky. The lentil soup served with my lunch special was quite decent. The Bad: First bite of lamb from lamb biriyani, pure gristle. Had to discard on plate. Second bite of lamb from lamb biriyani, pure bone! Nearly chipped a tooth. Biriyni itself was meh. Not so great, so I didn't eat too much of it, but not so bad that I wouldn't consider it as a dinner/leftover consultation prize. Which brings us to... The Ugly: Where this place fails HARD is with the service. I was just about the only person in the restaurant, but the waiter was angry, uncaring, and perhaps had a depth-perception problem. There was no "hello, what can i get you?" Instead, dude just shuffled up to the table and demanded my order. As glasses and plates of food arrived, he dropped the plates the last 1/2inch to the table like an angry Jersey diner waitress and shuffled off again. Clank! Bowl! Clank! Plate! Clank! Clank! What the hell, dude? At meal's end, I had half of a meh biriyani left that I wanted for leftovers. Nope! Same guy storms over, and starts clanking plates-- clank, clank, clank! It's nearly cartoonish. One of the first things he grabs was my would-be leftover biriyani. As I raise my hand to say, "wrap that please"--clank!-- he stuffs the bottom of my soup bowl right onto the remaining biriyani. Epic Lunch Fail! read more

We stumbled into Curry Heights after a reading at Bookcourt. The stakes were high - we were both starving, and Brooklyn Heights feels like a long way from Inwood. We needed some serious refueling. Our first glance at the restaurant made us afraid that we were out one of those places that serves nauseatingly creamy saag paneer (reheated from the lunch buffet), buttery naan, and watery daal. But once you get past the slightly unattractive space (note to Curry Heights: neon signs never, ever create ambience), the food is actually very impressive: we shared the chana poori (yum), two samosas ($2.90 for samosas?! How reasonable), daal (which I loved because it wasn't excessively watery), bhindi (really well done), and chicken saag (probably my least favorite of what we ordered, only because it had a slight tomato taste). The service was great, the waiters were very kind (our experience was enhanced by the fact that my husband chatted with the waiter in Bengali, and the waiter was super excited by this, so also gave us free mango lassis), and the entire meal was very reasonably priced- the whole thing came to $36, and we have enough food left over for dinner tomorrow. The long and short of it: Curry Heights might not be a great date place (unless you're trying to let your new someone special know that you like neon), but it's definitely good food, and certainly a cut above what passes for Indian food in most restaurants. read more

Someone PLEASE dethrown me as duchess because I am not a fan. I have been to curry heights twice and that is the same number of times i did NOT enjoy the food :-( Overly greasy and was nothing like any Indian food I have had before. I dont think I will be back. read more

We came in to get take out on a Saturday night (yes, we are lame). The staff was very friendly and helpful. Most importantly, food came out within 15 minutes! I really liked my chicken vindaloo (some place put too much vinegar, but not here). Rice came with the order but we also ordered nann. I would add this place to my take out/delivery list, because it is also very close to where I live. Please note the decor is very minimal if you are looking for a nicer dining in experience. read more

Great place for Indian takeaway. Flavorful food, reliable and fast delivery what else can you ask for.

I used to love. Then it went sideways and we tried another Indian that was just meh. Tried CH again today after about a year and some was just ok and the lamb was SHOE LEATHER. To their credit, they did refund, after trying to say well down was the same as mid-rare. read more

Delivery took two and a half hours to arrive (I was given an estimate of 1 hour on Seamless). I ordered an okra dish and a chicken tikka masala. The okra dish was quite good and flavorful. The chicken tikka meat was dry white meat, although the sauce was OK. read more

This place is about it for Indian food in the neighborhood. I've been here twice for lunch with colleagues and both times the food was edible but simultaneously bland and overly salted. There was really nothing noteworthy about any of the items (I've tried a few curries). No spice, and the chicken was just chunks of the same meat mixed into different sauces. The saag paneer was a bit watery, too. read more

I have JUST ordered from here via grubhub and I have to say I am very upset and disappointed by the delivery person who just showed up here. I receive the order and I give him money and ask him for change so I can give him a tip. He then proceeds to suggest how much I SHOULD give him because it was a big order (which I can assure its not) before giving me the change back. This is seriously disrespectful and unprofessional. I feel I will not be doing business with this place again. UPDATE: I am very sorry. I gave this place another chance as the manager seemed sincere in apology after my first bad encounter but this time I felt was even worse. I ordered lunch before 12:30 from here. I was notified that it was to reach me between 1:05- 1:15. I didn't receive the food until AFTER 1:30. I called the number only for it to not be ringing. I called customer care who also had an ordeal trying to reach the restaurant with the number provided. This is bad. I try very hard to not be like customers that are rude and feel self entitled but this time I am sorry to say this was unacceptable. To make it even more awkward upon receiving the food the delivery person made 2 excuses under one breath of why he was late. A) it was really busy and B) It is really cold outside. However there are several places on both Remsen and Montague that deliver to my office on a daily basis for seven years and they have delivered despite cold. I will not tell anyone to eat here because when all said and done they need to see for themselves. However (though in my mind I honestly feel the establishment does not care) I feel that after 2 times of being burned I don't think I will go for a third time or any other time in the future. read more

I frequent this location on a frequent basis. They have a great lunch buffet special which is why I go. However, after going a couple of times, I realized how consistent they are. The food is great, my favorite dish is the chicken vindaloo, it's spicy. The attention is great, the location is very good. The portions are large and the chicken is always fresh. No I don't work here or own the place, I just love thier food. I will say this, they need to put on Indian music not '80's contemporary. read more

After watching a great movie FINDING DORY...we went to a lil gem in Brooklyn Heights...authentic Indian food...we ordered chicken tikka masala, yellow daal, chicken biryani, and mango lassi...the best in the area read more

AK, I wasn't aware that you could pick up orders placed on Seamless, and I live a few blocks away, in a clearly numbered flat. Disinformation anyone? Again, buyer beware! read more

Their food standard Constantly change. Sometimes it is ok but sometimes bad. Today I went there for lunch. Their cabbage is extremely salty which is usually my favorite dish and the curry fish which the staff only give me 2 pieces! I ended up spending 9 bucks to eat 2 pieces of fishes and rice! I would rather go to another restaurant to eat!! read more

It wasn't bad and it wasn't good. The sauces were tasty, which covered up the dryness of the lamb. I don't eat Indian food very often so I am far from an expert but I would say this was mediocre at best. The place was pretty empty so each table had their own server, so I can't complain. Service was good. The naan was delicious, but that's hard to mess up, right? Would I come back here? Probably not but mostly because I learned that I am not a huge fan of Indian food. read more

Everything you expect from a good Indian food joint. Cheap. Big portions. Plenty of choices. Lunch specials are incredible - entrée with 1, 2 or 3 sides. Food tastes fresh. Counter and wait staff are pleasant. I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

The best curry for delivery in the heights! I'm a fan of the generous portions with the Two-Course Meal Deal that is One Appetizer, One Entree And One Naan. I've enjoyed their samosas, chicken korma and saag curry. Can't wait to try more dishes! read more

Can't speak about the food. All I can say is they litter my property, both home and car with their menus when I clearly have 5"x7" signs asking not to leave any menus or advertisements. For this reason, I won't even try them even though I love Indian Food. They need to make sure their staff distributing materials can read English and over local laws Unfortunately I had to put 1 star in order to post this. read more

Curry Heights hits the spot for midday Indian cravings. It's the best in the area. Decent Indian food, ready immediately for a quick lunch, the place is clean, and the staff is nice and seems genuinely thankful for the patronage. I'll be back. read more

Restaurant advertises 11:30 opening. I arrived at 11:30 and headed for a 2-top in an empty restaurant. The manager charged at me and bellowed in a loud voice "we're not ready!" "Go wait in front for at least a half-hour", while motioning with a hands-up "get-away" gesture. Needless to say I won't be back. read more

Food is meh, but it's the best indian food in the area. Most dishes have very little flavor and ithe saag paneer for instance, is too watery. But, if you're craving Indian, the food here will suffice. Be forewarned, their website sucks. If you place an order via their website, call to make sure that they actually received your order. Otherwise, you'll find yourself waiting for an order that will never be delivered. read more

This place was awesome. I was stuck doing jury duty in the Downtown Brooklyn area and wanted to find something inexpensive, delicious and relatively healthy to eat. I got lucky and stumbled upon Curry Heights. I asked the owner Karim for some help in choosing the food. He set me up with a platter of Tandoori Chicken, Okra, Spinach and Aloomotor Gobi The food was delicious. The food was inexpensive. Where can you get an awesome lunch for around ten dollars anymore? And, the service was phenomenal. They were extremely courteous, friendly and super super fast. Go and ask them whats good to eat. You cant go wrong. Great experience there!! read more

This location on Remsen Street has seen a string of Indian restaurants, each less memorable than it's predecessor. Thankfully, Curry Spot has turned that trend around. The food was fresh and tasted home made from high quality ingredients. Looking forward to the next meal. read more

This place has the rare distinction of being the most horrible India food we've had in the greater nyc area. The food barely qualifies as Indian. I know that the manager and servers were not Indian. I bet the chef has no clue on preparing India meals. Dal Makhni & naan were tolerable. I have eaten all kinds of Indian cuisine, but the concept of potato paratha was martian, not Indian. Saag panner was strange, bland and watery. Save yourself and eat somewhere else. read more

This place is kinda in the cut. Upon entering the establishment I was greeted by a shaded waiter. When I asked him why does he have shades on in a dimly lit place he told me that his allergies were messing with him... Hmmm... First strike... The atmosphere is nice.. Quiet but yet busy. I can they'll that they have a large take out crowd . The delivery man was coming in and out constantly. I ordered the bonna (sp) bread as a appetizer and the curry chicken as a entree. The sweet sauce to the bread was AMAZING I would go back just for that, the chicken was okay. Could have been more seasoned but all and all if was okay... Would I go back again... Ummmm maybe to order out. MAYBE!!! .. read more

Terrible delivery service. The attendant lies on the phone saying 30-40 minutes when actually it took TWO HOURS AND A HALF to delivery 2mi away from the restaurant. Food ok read more

The disappointment continues. Can someone please open a decent Indian restaurant in the area?? We ordered three vegeterian dishes and they all tasted pretty much the same, which is to say bland and slimy. Of all the things to miss in an Indian restaurant, I just can't believe *flavor* would be one of them. I give two stars instead of one based on: (a) fine naan, (b) on-time delivery, (c) no local competition whatsoever, and (d) a lack of digestive issues (which may be unsurprising given the comcomitant lack of spice). read more

The food is just OK. It is nothing special but is edible. As an Indian, I can honestly say that this is the blandest Indian food I have ever had. However, the service absolutely sucks. I have been here several times and they ALWAYS get our order wrong. Without fail, it is always incorrect. You will never get exactly what you order unless you make a huge stink about it. It is pretty ridiculous considering it is the slowest takeout service on the planet. Seriously, if communication is so bad that the employees can't understand your oder correctly on a systematic basis, there is a problem. Still looking for a good Indian place in Brooklyn Heights. This isn't it. read more

The food is decent and the lunch menu is quiet affordable. My gripe with this place is with the people who take my order. All but once my orders were messed up or something wasn't delivered. Upon calling back, every time instead of help I get an attitude back when it's the restaurant that gillian anderson to include food that is part of my order. And then they're always out of delivery men, so when they do forget to deliver something, it takes an extra half hour to an hour to get it, completely ruining my lunch since I only have a specific time to clock out for lunch and eat. Unacceptable. read more

Well, the hospitality sucks, they don't know how to deal with people, very rude. I won't go again ever.

A delivery which I was told would take 40 to 50 minutes took an hour and 40 minutes. I called after waiting an hour nd was told it was on the way. Before I could say more, they hung up on me. When the food did arrive it was ice cold and inedible. This is made all the worse because they are overpriced. Never, ever, again. read more

I have made the mistake of ordering from this restaurant maybe ten times. Roughly eight of these times, the order has been delivered at least thirty minutes after the time the restaurant said they would be delivering by...and about 4-5 times it took at least an hour and a half. As a point of reference, I live a block and a half away. Every time I call them on the phone I am told "just give us two or three minutes". Apparently two or three means thirty or sixty to these people. Food is always lukewarm at best and while it tastes good, I find myself having to reheat it as soon as it's delivered. Poor performance. I will never order from them again. read more
