One of Curry Lounge's specialties, the Amritsari Kulcha with Chole is a popular North Indian dish. Often consumed for breakfast, Amritsari Kulcha is a stuffed unleavened flatbread, traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven. It consists of spiced mashed potatoes, paneer, yogurt, mixed vegetables & onions. Topped with a slathering of butter or ghee. Never served by itself, Amritsari Kulcha is paired with Chole (chickpea curry). For dipping, raita (yogurt) & tamarind chutney complete the meal. I've had Amritsari Kulcha at many establishments in Little India, and Curry Lounge does it the best! An order is large and a generous amount of food, that'll keep you full for the rest of the day. Regarding the remodel, the restaurant is now more spacious and accommodating for more guests. The murals on the walls & decorations add to the appeal. I've been a regular at Curry Lounge, since they opened, and will continue to be so. Highly recommend! read more

Man, I really had high hopes for this place. We ordered the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, saag aloo, garlic naan, white rice, and samosas to start. I'll start with the positives -- the samosas were actually really good. Great flavor, crispy texture, and the sauces they came with were excellent. Service was also great, and our server was very friendly and attentive. Now for the disappointing part. The garlic naan was super doughy and almost cake-like, which was not enjoyable at all. The butter chicken was overwhelmingly sweet to the point where it honestly tasted more like dessert than curry. The tikka masala was better, but it seriously lacked salt and flavor depth. The saag aloo was creamy, but overall pretty bland and forgettable. The biggest disappointment was the amount of chicken in both dishes. We were left with bowls full of sauce and barely any meat. It honestly felt like we paid for soup with a few pieces of chicken thrown in. We left feeling pretty ripped off, especially for the price. Maybe it was just an off night since they were busy, but based on this experience, we won't be coming back. read more

When we're in the mood for Indian food, we know a trip to Artesia is in order. The day we came to Curry Lounge, we trusted our fellow Yelpers to guide us to a place with good lamb Rogan Josh. We went with Curry Lounge and we both left as fans. I'm not sure if they have a dedicated parking area but the few times we've been here, we've been able to find street parking fairly easily. We were greeted and seated immediately. We got our waters and menus and decided to get Jeeera rice (we recently learned about the benefits of cumin seeds so we were all about this rice), garlic naan, butter chicken, and Rogan Josh. We received our food quickly and we were so hungry we dove right in. We devoured our entrees within minutes. All of the proteins were incredibly tender. The naan was perfectly garlicky, butter chicken had a nice kick, and the jeera rice perfectly complimented the dishes. Everything was delicious and service was attentive and friendly! read more

Completely understand why it's rated as the Best Indian Food in Artesia on Yelp! Butter Chicken [ ] Juicy and well-spiced [ ] Creamy and deeply fulfilling Saag Paneer [ ] My favorite dish and reminds me of the way I'm used to it being prepared in The Bay Area [ ] Loved the larger chunks of paneer and it's silky yet dense texture Garlic Naan [ ] Warm, toasty, flagrant with a charred fluffy bite I'll be sure to return and left with a to-go order for lunch the next day lol read more

I'm Indian so trust me when I say this place is a 10/10 on flavor and quality!! It's a small little spot so it does fill up quickly. They also did a lot of take out orders when I went during lunchtime on Sunday. The food did take a bit to come out, so I recommend ordering an appetizer. Everything we ordered was worth the wait and I'm excited to try different items next time. read more

Currry lounge got their classic dishes to the point. We tried few different dishes and everything was full of flavors and tasted excellent. Bone-in butter chicken was the highlight for me. I have had tried many other places but theirs so far I can highly rate it! Saag+Makki Roti was delicious and cooked to its perfection. You don't find this dish at many restaurants, it was cooked so deliciously and I highly recommend it. Methi Malai and seekh kabab were delicious as well. I highly recommend this place and I will be going back to try other food they have to offer. read more

Love this place! This is my second time coming here, first time was before my group watched the superman movie in 2025, and the second time was last night after watching the new Michael Jackson movie. The movie ended around 9:30 yesterday and this was one of the only South Asian food spots still open (they are open till 11pm). Despite it being like 10pm at night, there were at least 2-3 other parties eating there and multiple delivery orders still being placed. We ordered our food to share between the table and it came out fast and hot. We enjoyed the food thoroughly. Will definitely be back! read more

I've always felt like the best way to experience Indian food is with a big group and a table full of dishes so you can try a little of everything--but this time it was just the two of us at The Curry Lounge.We each ordered one of their specials, which came with an entrée, chickpeas, a white sauce that reminded me a bit of sour cream but with a tangier, more complex flavor, and naan on the side. The portions were generous--I couldn't even finish mine, which honestly says a lot.Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and comforting, exactly what you want when you're craving Indian food. Even with a smaller table, we still felt like we got a great experience and plenty to enjoy.The service was warm and attentive, which made the whole meal even better.Five stars.Dhanyavaad, khana bahut swadisht tha aur seva bahut acchi thi!

We arrived around 7:30 on a Saturday night. The place was packed. We were seated after a 20 minute wait. Despite it being a busy night the servers were attentive and friendly. We order the Chicken Tikka Masala and Baingan Bharta (both spicy). Both were exceptional but the Eggplant was my new favorite! It made me feel like I'm having a Mark Wiens moment! My wife was craving Dahi Puri and she said it was the best she had, which is saying a lot. This is one of my new favorite Ind restaurants. read more

The interior is very cute and cozy. I only tried two items and I'm kind of split 50/50. The first was the sweet lassi. It was flavorful and refreshing. I really liked enjoyed it. My other order was the pani puri. It is one of my favorite Indian foods so I've ordered it in many places. This particular recipe was not very good. Sure, it was cool, it was fresh but just didn't have that wow flavor that makes me want to come back for more. I almost ordered something else but based on the pani puri, I just chose not to. The waiters were nice over all, at least the ladies were. One guy helped serve and he was a little rude and behaved like he had better things to do. That didn't feel very good, of course. read more

We wanted to try this place since very long time! Finally got a chance this weekend. Make sure to reach in time because the place has less seating or be sure to wait for a few minutes outside the restaurant. We got their balti Chicken curry with malai kofta and missi roti. Malai kofta was outstanding! Chicken was warm and extremely delicious. The service was a bit slow due to rush hour. Great ambience and awesome food! read more

I love Indian food but a lot of the spots around me are not sit-down or just not my favorite. Curry lounge is officially my number one Indian food spot in OC for me by far!!! I saw there was some hype on social media so I had to try and my expectations were exceeded. The interior is cool, not to mention the whole block is so fun and has so many Indian businesses and culture! The samosas were absolutely delicious, and the main dishes were so flavorful and went perfectly with the garlic naan. The only reason for my 4 stars is because we ordered a side of rice and it never came, but we weren't charged for it either so it's no big deal, just need to wait to try it till my next visit! We also ordered the Chicken 65 but I'd recommend skipping that for more curry dishes. It was good but not necessary for this meal!! read more

Yoooooooooooooooo! ‍ The homie put me onto this spot and straight up told me, "They got one of the best chicken tikka masalas in Artesia." And listen... since he's Punjabi, I already knew I couldn't question it -- that's expert-level credibility right there. Safe to say, it did NOT disappoint. We went with the Punjabi-style chicken tikka masala, which the lady highly recommended, and this version comes with whole pieces of chicken, not just dry chicken breast like some places try to get away with. That alone already had me excited. We ordered it medium spice, which was perfect for me, but fair warning -- if you're not built for heat, I'd definitely suggest going mild. The flavor still hits without testing your limits. We also tried this green spinach dish with coconut milk (don't ask me to pronounce it ). It comes with what's basically a corn tortilla, plus some radish and yogurt on the side. Honestly, all we cared about was that blended spinach + coconut milk combo -- super smooth, rich, and comforting. That part alone was fire. Now let's talk about the lamb chops... because WOW. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and brought out sizzling hot on the plate. You could hear it before you even saw it. Easily one of my favorite bites of the whole meal and a must-order if you're coming here. They also brought me this green and pink drink topped with nuts -- can't remember the name -- and I'm gonna keep it real... it wasn't for me I knew I should've gone with the mango lassi. I wanted the mango lassi. My heart said mango lassi. But I trusted the waitress' recommendation... and yeah, I regret it lol. Still drank some of it though because I couldn't say no -- those beautiful green eyes got me every time Overall, insane food, solid recommendations (for the most part ), and definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving legit Punjabi flavors. Just don't overthink it -- get the tikka masala, get the lamb chops, and get the mango lassi. Trust me this time. read more

Curry Lounge - The lamb racks - Indian Near Me - Artesia, California

Lunch with friends turned into a bad experience. We order an appetizer, specialty drinks for everyone and entrees and sides for all. Received the drinks, the appetizer and meals for two. No one ever stopped by to see how things were. Once my friends had finished their meals, a server was flagged down to ask about the missing meal. Oh, they forgot. How does that happen? We asked to the meal to be packed to go. The server apologized several times. We spent $80 on our meal yet they forgot a main entree. I have since thrown away the food as I no longer want the food. Curry Lounge. Do better. Ok, bye. read more

Eclectic vibes! Very bright with a heavy dose of festive bling! Ordered daal, schezwan noodles and chole kulche (delhi style), chai. Chai and daal were great Chole kulche was too oily or prepped in stale oil. It just did not bode well with us, it had that lingering feeling of too much grease with it (usually get that with stale oil). Noodles were spicy (I liked it), tasted better the next day The servers were polite and friendly. They don't serve any alcohol (no beer either). I didn't know that, so was a bummer (just for me). read more

Iv ordered here on DoorDash so I don't know what the interior looks like but here are my thoughts on the food I have tried. Sometimes when I do order DoorDash the food would leak but not all the time I order. I'm not sure if it's the dasher or how the packing is but there were incidence where I ordered the butter chicken and when it arrived, it leaked everywhere in my bag when I open it. There was a hole in the corner of my container. Again I thought it could be the food just tipping over everywhere while the dasher is driving OR Iv noticed that the food is extremely hot and maybe it melted the container a little? I wasn't too sure but it was a mess. Foodwise and taste, I actually enjoyed it. Not too spicy and chicken was very soft and tender. I ordered medium spicy and I love spicy foods and this was the perfect amount of spice. I also orders the mango lassi. I love the packaging for that it comes in a cute small bottle. I give my mango lassi a 8/10 and curry 7.5/10. Food is good but it was just the packaging that was messy. read more

I discovered Curry Lounge a while back through a Yelp Elite event and absolutely loved it, so I have returned several times since. I usually do take out, but during my last visit I dined in. Service is always extremely friendly when taking out and I would say it's the same when dining in. Our waitress was super attentive and checked in on us often. I've ordered several things off the menu, but my absolute favorite is the butter chicken...it may be the best I've had! So if you order something, let it be that and you can thank me later :) The naan here is also great and I especially love the garlic chili naan. You can customize the spice levels for most things on the menu, which as I spicy food lover, I appreciate. With a large array of South Asian food in Artesia, I'd say that Curry Lounge stands out in terms of food quality and is definitely worth a visit! I will definitely be returning again in the future. read more

Curry Lounge - Butter chicken with garlic chili naan and rice - Indian Near Me - Artesia, California

We came here for a friend's birthday. We only had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. It was very colorful inside, but it was a little stuffy because there were a lot of tables and people in a small space. The TVs inside had two different movies playing which was interesting. Don't usually see movies playing in restaurants. The service was good overall, we didn't have any issues. I ordered the mild butter chicken with plain basmati rice and garlic naan. My boyfriend ordered the lamb saag. To drink I got masala chai. My drink came first and it came with some sugar. It was a super warm and comforting drink. Our food came out mostly around the same time. My butter chicken was delicious, not too spicy with a creamy sauce and tender chicken. My naan and rice went great with the chicken. The lamb in the lamb saag was also tender and cooked well. We had a really good meal here. I just wanted a classic Indian dish on this visit, but next time I might try something different. read more

Food poisoning. I was skeptical with the "B" rating: Common "B" Rating Violations Inspectors typically deduct points from a restaurant's 100-point scale for the following major risk factors: @ * Improper holding temperatures (cold food not kept at or below 40 °F or hot food below 140 °F * Cross-contamination (ready-to-eat foods touching raw meat surfaces) * Poor employee hygiene (infrequent handwashing) * Equipment cleanliness (dirty cutting boards or utensils) That was literally the worst food poisoning I have ever had. read more

Food was ok & the portions small & it was pricey compared to other locations we've tried but it was probably the area we were in. The dishes were ok. The chicken dish & roti was good. The strawberry lassi tasted like the bottled ones, the Pani puri only came with the tamarind sauce not the mint coriander and not potatoes weren't seasoned well. We had to wait a while for service but they were friendly enough & the ambiance was loud and the one bathroom was full the whole time which made us anxious as the parking wasn't free in the area and we were running out of time on our meter so we had to run out. About $55 for the meal which was only really enough for one person. read more

Located on Pioneer Blvd in the heart of numerous Indian restaurants and stores, Curry Lounge has a nice ambiance with covered tables and print menu albeit there are a few errors in the menu such as one lunch special says Lamb and Goat but they meant Lamb or Goat! So much for my fantasy combo. My friend and I check out the Aloo Gobi, Fish Saag, and Lachha Paratha. I usually check out Saag Paneer but was delighted to try the fish version which is much lighter being made with Tilapia. The Aloo Gobi filled the veggie dish requirements and had a nice curry kick to it. We ordered medium heat but it was a tad too mellow so we asked for some more heat and got some green chilies and red pepper flakes. All was good. Service is good, although our check had an error which was corrected. BTW parking on Pioneer is free. The meters are not operational. Enjoy. read more

Grabbed takeout from here and I was seriously impressed. Recommended by my Indian friend. Everything was packed up neatly. The menu is huge, so no matter what you're craving, you'll find something that hits. I went with the tandoori shrimp. The only part that had a little extra char was the tails which was perfect since I don't eat them anyway. Once those were off, the shrimp themselves were cooked just right: juicy, flavorful, and not overdone. We also ordered the chicken tikka masala and that one was a knockout. Rich, creamy, perfectly spiced. Haven't dined in yet, but based on the takeout alone, I'm sold. This is definitely going on my short list for catering the next time I'm hosting. Solid spot. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! The menu is BIG and so much to choose from. We ordered the Lamb Biriyani, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and pani poori.

The service was excellent and the lady was very attentive and informative about the dishes. I would definitely recommend!!! read more

Highly recommended! We got out the car and smelled some pretty good cooking and strolled inside here. I must say this is probably some of the best Indian food I've had outside of L.A! And it even gives the other places I've been to in L.A. a serious run for their money. So much menu, so many things I wanted to try that I hope to try at some point soon. I default to some of my favorites like goat, lamb, tandoori, and even Saag, but there's way more to fall in love with. The chef does put a special touch on everything and it really touch show. He's super friendly too and will come out to share his story. I was kind of shocked when they said they've only been around recently because it feels and tastes like they've been here for the past 20 years. Just goes to show you they're doing something right. And when we were here everybody was here as far as people from all diverse backgrounds which was pretty cool. I like seeing it and it's another tale tale sign that they are doing right. Once again I highly recommend. read more

On a street where Indian restaurants battle it out like it's the Curry Hunger Games, Curry Lounge walks in cool, calm, and absolutely dripping in flavor. Plenty of seating (hallelujah), super quick service, and the staff actually know the menu--our waiter gave spot-on recs like a seasoned food whisperer. The chicken tandoori showed up sizzling like it was late to a party and needed to make an entrance. The butter chicken was so rich and creamy I briefly considered proposing. Lamb curry? Fall-apart tender with just the right kick. Garlic naan and basmati rice were the sauce sponges of my dreams. And the lassi? Thick, tangy, and definitely not a starter unless you enjoy drinking yogurt with your appetizer. Learn from my mistakes. 4.5 stars read more

Definitely a popular spot in the neighborhood with the highest rating and place was bustling with people that encouraged us to go in as well. We had to wait a while but they were kind enough to get us tea that we ordered as quickly as possible. The food however could have been better - they recommended the batli paneer considering we asked for something spicy however we didn't find anything special about it nor was it spicy.
