DON'T EVER ODER FROM HERE Your order will get lost and no one at the restaurant will attempt to help you Whoever works at the front desk should be fired if the owner cares at all about his restaurant and it's customers read more

So sad how the service has deteriorated... I'm a long time neighborhood customer. Ordered takeout a month or so ago. Repeated - extra sauce, extra order of basmati to the guy at the register.( I've always repeated my orders since my favorite server- Raki went home.) Walked home with my order to find only one set of sauce, and no extra rice,... and I was charged for it!! grrr! I haven't been by cos I was so disappointed! However, today I had extra time and craved the curry! There was one server when I came in. After seating me, I had to flag him down to order. When I asked for condiments- he said sure, and forgot. Asked another guy who came out - he got me take out cups with the sauces. My original server never came back after placing food on the table. ***Luckily the food was right!*** My water glass was never refilled. Three guys fiddled with a music cd and the video on the flat screen multiple times.... The music was then too loud to contemplate adding a chai or dessert! I finally called out to one of them for my check. Waiting for my check took over 10 minutes,.... There were 1 to 4 tables the entire time I was there. read more

I always order from this place for delivery. It's not the best Indian food that I have ever had - but for the area and the price it's well worth it and hits the spot. Come here at lunch and you can get a large portion of food for $9 that comes with a meat, vegetables, rice and naan. I always order the chicken tikka masala and I love it! Friendly service and fast delivery will have be coming back for more. read more

I hate giving this restaurant a bad review, since they have both good food and good in-store service during the two times I've been there. However, a botched order--without any sort of explanation or apology--will do that. (They do liste a way of contacting them other than by phone; hopefully this review will help spur them to fix what appears, based on other reviews, to be a systemic problem.) I've placed three orders with Curry Heights in the last two weeks (all through Yelp's Eat24 service); in all three cases, the orders were scheduled to be delivered within 45-60 minutes. The first was delivered in 60 minutes; the second took 75 minutes. The third order (placed on 4/30/2018), however, never showed up. 75 minutes after placing the order, I called the restaurant. They claimed they didn't have the order, and eventually told me to call Eat24 before hanging up. I then called Eat24, who told me that the order *had* gone through without any issue, and the representative called the restaurant to see what was going on. After calling the restaurant, however, the representative from Eat24 told me that the restaurant had told him, "Just cancel the order" and promptly hung up on him, too. I can live with an order being a little late from time to time, and I can live with the fact that people make mistakes. What is not acceptable, however, is when a restaurant peddles in dishonesty in order to avoid taking any responsibility. There were half a dozen opportunities for the restaurant to get this right or fix the problem, and yet the restaurant failed to take any of those steps. I may still consider going to this restaurant in person in the future, but unless the restaurant ends up taking responsibility for its poor service, I'm going to have to find another Indian restaurant in the area from which to order takeout. read more

Most of the reviews here said the delivery was bad but the food was good, so I decided to pick it up myself thus avoiding the major issue - so I thought. I got the saag paneer, which is my go to Indian food order to check if it's worth coming back for. Unfortunately, I would say that it's not. I love Indian food but this tasted like it barely qualified. The food was so bland that I could barely taste any flavor, if it wasn't for the different texture that the saag paneer gave the rice I would have thought I was eating plain rice. I'm honestly shocked that it's possible to have such flavorless food - especially with all that spices that Indian cuisine normally requires. The man behind the counter seemed sweet but overstressed and overworked, as he had to constantly ask me to wait as he ran to get things like forks, bread, and containers for the side dishes. The entire place seemed a bit disorganized, and while that's fine if the food is good in this case the food didn't make it worth it. It is a ton of food for very cheap, especially with the lunch special, so I guess if you're starving it's okay. But I couldn't bring myself to finish, even with all the add ons of onions and limes. It's 2 stars because the guy seemed nice, and the food didn't taste BAD - it just didn't taste of anything read more

If I could, I will rate this place -10. We were told that if we would like to dine-in, we need to order an entree and ordering of 4 appetizers plus deserts and drinks won't qualify us for dining. We will have to take a take-out. How ridiculous it is. With 2 entree, as we were 2 of us, the revenue they would have created would be, may be $30,- but with what we would have ordered, they would have created a revenue of more than $50,-. No hospitality or business sense at all. But that's what you get when a random person opens up a restaurant read more

Average food quality. This is the only restaurant which includes 18% gratuity in the bill. I, along with my wife dined at this restaurant and noticed 18% gratuity on the total amount. When I asked the waiter, he said that management decided to implement this change after COVID. I do not mind paying gratuity, but it should be on me to decide the amount. read more

Since moving to Brooklyn Heights, I have been desperate to find GREAT Indian food...and I am still on that mission. There really seem to be only two Indian restaurants near my apartment...one named Amin (which according to Yelp is not worth my trouble) and the other is Curry Heights. This past Sunday, I decided to order in some Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Biryani from Curry Heights to see if they were going to be my new favorite Indian delivery. The delivery was pretty fast (about a half hour) and I was happy I could use Seamless Web to order. The Chicken Biryani was pretty good, though not very spicy (which is OK for me). I'm very picky about my chicken and the boneless white meat in the Biryani was up to my standards (no fat). The Chicken Tikka Masala was OK, nothing outstanding and I didn't love the consistency of the chicken. But I will say the portions were large and I was full after my meal. I'd order from Curry Heights again, but I am still looking for amazing Indian food in the Heights. read more

It's hard to review a place like this, as others have pointed out. But I've been biting my tongue for too long. Curry Heights has been the only go-to option for a while. I've tried to justify this review with as much positivity as possible, but after countless instances of the same delivery patterns, I just can't ignore this anymore. It's not a one-off situation that I'm sure the owner will claim in a response to this and apologize for, but at the end of the day, apologies don't fix this situation, you do, by improving your business. Here are some details, in two simple points: - Portion sizes are great. That's the positive. However, it's always delivered cold, even in warm weather, but nothing a microwave can't fix. When asking for extra spicy, it's resulted in the same bland food. So if you like spicy I guess you just have to accept that it never will be. White people, right? That aside, the flavors and quality appear to be good, so I'm happy with the actual food in general. -Delivery speed is unbelievably slow. As in, never have I ever had a restaurant take this long to deliver in my life. None of the other reviews complaining about the slow times are inaccurate, wrong, or deceptive. Expect 1.5-2 hours. Every. Single. Time. Cannot under-emphasize this. My wife and I strategically plan when ordering here, placing it an extra hour early so that we aren't suffering by the time it arrives. Not even joking, it's embarrassing just writing this down. Anyway, maybe you'll have more luck or if you live in walking distance stopping by will probably be a better experience. Delivery is simply not worth it in my opinion. Thankfully other options are opening up nearby that won't take 2 hours to deliver 2 cups of rice and mushy vegetables in plastic containers. read more

Curry Heights definitely reached my expectations. Presentation, taste, and portions were in my favor. Good service too. I would recommend the chili chicken (tastes like general tso's chicken with an indian touch ) and the chicken biryani. read more

Horrible customer service, terrible food, and the restaurant smells like mold. Never again!

Terrible delivery service - 45 min late this last order but unfortunately it's a pattern with these guys. Rude owners and staff onsite. Hung up on me twice when trying to inquire about where my food was. Food is really only average. In business because there are no other Indian options locally. Will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I love this place. My favorite Indian restaurant Togo!!! Always tasty and fresh and potion is big! 1 order I can eat for 2 meals

The food is amazing. But I found two pieces of plastics in my food two days straight. I didn't want to give a bad review but 3 of the dishes had those. My friends were disgusted by it . Other than that I love the food. Whatever I ordered was really good. read more

Curry Heights - This is what I found in my food. Two days straight. The food is amazing but this isn't good for business. - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered the tikki beef. big mistakes. it's beef stew but all like a rock! could not even bite into them. I don't think they made the beef there. should have stick with the chicken. why offer beef if they can't make it right? thought it was weird they have beef tikki. Sauce was good like it would be for chicken but the beef stew pieces were rocks!!! read more

Food was great. But service was disgusting. The sign "we reserve the right to charge gratuity for pickup" didn't help. I came to pick up my food and he walked over to check my name, pointed at it, and told me to go get it. They also charged me 25¢ for utensils... not sure if it was a joke because he was laughing to himself as I gave it to him. Because of the unpleasant service, I'll be sticking to the Indian spot on Henry Street. Great food and amazing service. read more

WOW!!! India right in Brooklyn! I've been to India quite a few times and loved both the food, as well as the friendly people and hospitality. Not to mention the enormous amount of quality food you get for your buck. I've been living in NY for many years and never quite found this "perfect Indian" combination. Not until yesterday when I first visited Curry Heights. The food is amazing. Genuinely Indian with the best of ingredients. Whether chicken, lamb or goat, it was all extraordinary. The variety is also impressive. The hospitality is exceptional. These guys really make you feel like the center and will do anything for you to enjoy and all in a very friendly attitude. And finally - the price. Fair is an understatement... an amazing dish twice the size than in Manhattan will pretty much cost half here and with no compromise on quality. On the contrary! I even got to sit with the owner who came to say hello and had chai with me :) Bottom line - warmly recommend. Totally worth the short train ride from the city! read more

Struggled a lot with writing this review since it was a bit of a mixed bag. The food was mostly great. We had a chicken tandoori, bindi masala and saag paneer. The tandoori was good but not spectacular; the bindi and saag were excellent. Unfortunately the service on a Sunday evening left much to be desired. We were seated promptly but it took nearly half an hour before a waiter came to take our order. We almost walked out since we were waiting for such a ridiculously long time. They appears to suffer from a fair queueing problem, where the delivery orders keep preempting the staff so they only come around to the tables once the phone stops ringing, and since the place is apparently quite popular for delivery orders, it's rare that the phone ever stops ringing. The decor could also use a bit of an update; it's pretty dim inside and the carpet and interiors are a little on the threadbare side. Anyway I'll probably be back soon enough since the food was just about worth the wait. read more

This place is ridiculously good! Best Indian I've had in NYC and a great neighborhood spot. The servers are very friendly and patient in explaining the food items/making suggestions. A few things I love here are the garlic naan, baigan bhartha (mashed baked eggplant), lamb biryani. Also anything with that tomato cream sauce is just addicting! Relaxing music too- I felt like I was in a meditation hour. read more

Amazing food! Very good chicken Tikka and amazing service and vibration. The guy was super nice and very read more

Curry Heights - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am giving this place a five-star review not because it is a five-star restaurant - it's a solid four-star restaurant - but to offset some of these clueless reviews with 1 or 2 stars - most notably, the guy who talks about the "flavorless" food; this food is so flavorful that I think this guy must work for a competitor or something. Anyway - granted - the service is awful. They just haven't figured this part out. I don't do delivery from there much, I mostly eat in or take out - so I can't speak to their delivery service. But even when you dine in, it's buffet style for lunch (the only time I go), so you stand on line, get your food, and bring it to a table. If they happen to fill your water glass - consider yourself lucky. But once you know the place, you can always just get up and fill your own glass from the silver pitcher on the counter. So - why the high rating in spite of this? Because the people who work there are nice and accommodating. I'm a regular, so they know me and always bring me fresh hot chillis on the side. But the main reason for the high rating is that the food is excellent, period. Whether it's tandoori chicken, goat curry, dal makhani, tarka dal, chicken vindaloo or saag paneer - all of it is surprisingly good, and a great value at right around $10. You can't beat it. It even comes with warm, freshly made naan. The ambiance is decent too - you can have a conversation. Unfortunately, they have the TV on in front of the place, but I just chalk it up to a bad idea from folks who don't know any better. I guess some people like to watch the news while they eat, but really it's unnecessary and disruptive. But the food - it's tasty, fresh, spicy, really you can't find better Indian food in the neighborhood at this price. Great value! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FOOD! read more

Keep ordering from here on seamless. It's insanely delicious. Everything we get here tastes so good! I end up ordering extra food and it makes great leftovers read more

Food is good, but this rating comes for consistently terrible delivery. Expect 30-50 minute delays every time and plan on ordering elsewhere if you ordered food because you were planning on eating :\ read more

It's located at the Remsen St, Brooklyn. One of the best Indian food I have had in Brooklyn. And yes, they do have a lot of vegetarian options. read more

This is hands down the best Indian food I've had the US. Absolutely the best. My friends and I were so happy, we went there twice in one day. This was the first time when we told someone to make the food spicy, they actually made it spicy. We ordered Chicken Lollipop (SO GOOD)which came with our beloved Schezwan Chutney, Gobi Manchurian (Super Spicy), Chicken Karahi and Vegetable Jalfrezi (Both amazing). Ordered parathas and naans, that were like nice buttered pillows and some delicious Mango lassi. Also took home some Chicken Chilly which was pretty good if not better that the rest of the meal. Going to visit this place every time I am in New York for sure. read more

4/5 for delivery. 1/5 for in person dining. 15 minutes for them to take order. 30 minutes to get most of food. Still waiting for the Naan that goes with my meal. Literally no service mentality here. They treat their pickup customers better than in house dining customers. One guy was waiting 2 minutes to pick-up and they gave him free Mango Lassi. Meanwhile we were still waiting to get their attention to order. read more

Came here on a weekend with my bestie so no clue on the buffet but the saag paneer & chicken tikka masala are delish! Service was great and the staff were attentive to our needs. All in all would def return! read more

Had the chicken tikka masala. Was amazing! Great flavor. Pistachio ice cream was great! Had walnuts in it I believe. read more

As much as I love the food here, I don't order anymore because it always takes much longer than it should for delivery to Boerum Hill (over an hour sometimes). I hope this changes because I really do like the food. read more

Delicious! Ordered chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, chicken biryani, and samosas. The chutney for samosas was good, they were a decent size, and well spiced inside. Chicken tikka masala was delicious! And the naan was fluffy yet crispy, truly the best naan I've ever had--usually I'm like, naan is naan, it's yummy but whatever, but NOW I know what exceptional naan tastes like! The biryani was good and had lots of really big chunks of chicken, so was a substantial meal. The waiter seemed kind of put off that we asked for onion and lime with the meal, which was kind of odd to me, but maybe it's regional tastes. My bf is from Mumbai and he loved this place, if that helps you believe they're authentic. Would revisit! read more

I don't have Indian food often, but sometimes the craving for heavily fragrant and hearty food unexpectedly hits, and then nothing else will do. When it does, my feet often turn in here to Curry Heights. In the afternoon, the lunch specials are clearly popular with the local businessfolk who quickly fill up the tables to dine and powwow. As a result, I tend to get takeout, and whether I order through Grubhub or Seamless, my food is always ready well before the estimated time. A favorite of mine is the chana masala, a sauce-heavy blend of tomato, onions, and a bevy of spices that my untrained palate always has a hard time teasing apart. Still, every other spoonful unearths the odd bay leaf or whole cardamom seeds, which coyly reveal just a few of the ingredients in the magical, spicy, winter-thawing blend. If I'm really hungry, I'll also indulge in an order of samosas, which are pastries that are stuffed with a savory blend of potatoes, peas, and lentils and then deep fried (there's also a lamb and green pea version available). Though there are only two per serving (for $3.50), I'm often overstuffed after polishing these off, rendering me sleepy and unproductive for a full afternoon of work. Currently, they're running an special through their website (www.curryheights.com) that allows you to take $5 off your purchase of $20 or more with the coupon code HOTSPICE. As the cashier handed over the paper advertisement, he whispered, somewhat conspirationally, "Or you can use the code CURRYLOVE to get 10% off". Whether that was meant to be kept a secret or not, I figured I'd share it with the Yelp community anyway. Enjoy while it lasts! read more

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area,mainly due to its lunch specials,which offer a variety of food to pick and choose from . My usual combo is the tandoori chicken with a non veg curry which is always consistently good. I usually go with chicken tikka masala for the curry which is boneless pieces of chicken in a heavenly tomato cream gravy. I don't like dark meat in chicken much and this seems to be one of the few Indian places which uses chicken breast pieces in curries. The tandoori chicken too is tender, juicy and incredibly tasty,with a choice of boneless or bone-in pieces served with sauteed onions and peppers. The naan served with lunch is soft and fluffy and the perfect vehicle to sop up the curry.The curry is also served with rice which I almost always have to skip because its a lot of food! I really like this place for its consistency and also because it doesn't seem to skimp on portions at all! read more

Listen. Listen. LISTEN. this place. This darned place. I've ordered from them throughout my three years at Brooklyn Law, and they never disappoint. I'm writing this review about five minutes after I just devoured the three entree lunch box, which I had with chicken tikka, chicken vindaloo and goat curry. I've had a lot of Indian food, and I always appreciate a fantastic lamb or goat dish whether it's curry or biryani, and Curry Heights has one of the best goat curries I have ever had. Perfectly tender, succulent and flavored, even if the idea of a gamey meat makes you uneasy, their goat curry will change your mind and palette quickly. The chicken is always great, but their variety of curry is impressive. I also opted for an order of the lamb samosas, which was a mistake only because I had a food overload. But the lamb was delicious. A bit salty and oily, but it's a lamb samosa--that's to be expected. My only critique, if you can call it that, is that they don't leave the bay leaves whole, so if you aren't careful, you'll get a piece of leaf in a bite of food, which as we all know, is not pleasant. Otherwise, I love this restaurant. Oh and also, the delivery guys really really are gentlemen. read more

This is decent American-style Indian food. The problem with Indian food in America is not that it's spicy, but that it's watered-down, sweetened-up and spiced-down to please palates that enjoy sugary salty pap like American-style pad thai and Dunkin' Donuts croissandwiches. If you've tasted Indian food in London or India then you'll be disappointed - but, in this neighborhood, Curry Heights is about as good as you'll get. The meats were tender. Everything was tasty, though nothing was spicy. (Other users who've written that everything is too spicy just have no idea what Indian food is - how can basmati rice be "inedible because it was so spicy", as one reviewer wrote? It's not even flavored!) If you want Indian and you're in the neighborhood, this is a comfortable bet. I'll be back. read more

Going a bit downhill. There are new features: a buffet during lunch, which is well priced ($8 for options of one meat dish, one veg dish, a naan and rice), and a flat screen tv (oh, boy!) The buffet is not bad but not great. I guess that is to be expected, but it's disappointing nonetheless. Today my chicken tikka masala tasted overly sweet and creamy, and lacked flavor. My saag paneer had very little "paneer" in sight. The non-pre made food, however, is still a good option, and better, as it's made fresh to order. Additionally, the service is still deplorable. They forget things until you tell them five times, and are slow with bringing check and change. The guys at the buffet are, for lack of a better word, annoying. As I stood trying to decide what I wanted, they literally recited every choice. I have eyes buddy, I can read myself. I told them it's OK, and I could read on by myself, and they went "Oh, so you "know" indian food." Actually, I DO know indian food, and, aside from hubris, it was just distracting for them to do that. Quite annoying. Also, we saw a dead cockroach on the floor there last time we went. read more

I love this place. It's actually one of my go-to spots to go to alone and read a book, although it's definitely a good place for groups. Outside of the dinner rush the place is pretty quiet (I assume a lot of their business is delivery), but the restaurant is dark in a cozy way, the servers are genuinely kind, and the food is delicious and affordable. I can't recommend highly enough. read more

It's edible and there are some good things about this place, but I'll pass on it in the future. Minced Lamb and Pea Samosa - the dough was perfect - really nicely done. Flaky and tender, but strong enough to hold all the meat in. Really good dough. However, there were no peas in the filling, and the lamb was very very finely minced, nicely seasoned. Chicken Tikka Masala - really dry white meat cubes in a sauce made of sweet tomato sauce and cream. Not very good. Pass. Naan - good! soft and chewy, great for sopping up sauces. If only the sauces were worthy of sopping up. Raita - overly sweet, too much carrot, not enough cucumber. Pass. Gulab Jamun - they made a mistake with the order it seems and I got Ras Malai instead. Really not a fan - too milky - but as far as Ras Malai goes, this one was decent. Delivery was within the projected time, and the delivery guy was very nice and polite, so points for that. But if you're looking for Indian food, look somewhere else. read more

I came here to pick up my food which I ordered on yelp during lunch time. Food was pretty good, one of the best Indian food I've ever tried and pretty big portion too. 4 stars because I had to wait for the cashier to notice me in order to get my order. The cashier and servers was too busy serving food at the hot table and didn't see me until almost 7-8 mins later (I had to get their attention in order to get service). read more

Hey- cheap and great Indian food in Brooklyn Heights? This is your place. The 2-course dinner special ($13.95) is great. Appetizer, Naan, and Main, pretty well rounded. We ordered 2 so we could mix and match it up a bit. Everyone raving about the Naan is right- probably the best Naan I've had in a loooong time. Fresh baked- can't be beat. Giving this place 3 stars due to our Samosas. One was (as advertised) filled with potato and awesome (Mine). The girlfriend's was brimming with shredded....coconut? That was it. a Samosa stuffed with shredded coconut. Tres strange. read more
