    Family-owned halal Indian Punjabi fine-dining with butter chicken, biryani, lamb, goat, seafood, and Indo-Chinese plates. Warm attentive service in a cozy room. They also were super hip and even had music videos playing while we ate. First time trying Balti Chicken and I will never forget it EVERRR !! SO FIRE !

    Great Indian food in Artesia! Ever since moving to San Jose, I've been craving Indian food when I visit home, and Curry Lounge did not disappoint. We ordered two combo plates, which were more than enough for two people. The portions were generous! The butter chicken was lovely, and it definitely leans into the tomato flavors. However, the two showstoppers for me were the chicken tikka masala and vegetable samosas. They were incredibly flavorful! I also ordered the Masala Chai, which was affordable and tasted authentic. Service was quick and polite. This place is definitely appropriate for a casual lunch or dinner if you're stopping by the Artesia area. Only tough part is finding parking, but the downtown parking lot behind it had technical difficulties when we went, so we parked for free.

    The food here is ALWAYS amazing, i love it every time i come here. The service is always great as well, there's a solid crew there every time, I definitely have favorites haha. The environment is very warm and welcoming. I love that there's something new on the tv every time i come. Side note: Perfect for romantic dates or friend dates :)

    Before I get to the food let me say the restaurant it self is very overwhelming with things going on. They had two TVs with different shows/movies going on and additionally music going on. The space is already packed with families enjoying dinner and talking so it can be a bit much. Additionally be careful to sit under the AC it drips and might get on the food. I was weary of the place since it has B inspection grading on the window but overall the food was good. I do feel like the flavors were a little muted but so I knocked it down from great to good. We got medium for the Tikka and it was not spicy at all. Heads up place offers discount if bill is paid in cash.

    Went here couple times and they never disappoint! Love me some pappadam so I always get that. Their punjbi chicken is the best one imo, so gotta have that one too! All the staff are friendly and nice, they always recommend the best ones. I love their decorations using vibrant color so u won't miss this place from outside too. They only have street parking, so it's a hit or miss.

    I had been wanting to try some Indian food for the longest, so my boyfriend took me for my birthday!! The service was decent as they did take like 20 minutes to take down our order even though it wasn't busy at all... the food was really good, the garlic nann was chefs kiss . The butter chicken (spicy) was bomb and the mango lassi was to die for according to the both of us. I didnt really like the texture of the samosas, but thats about it.

    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!

    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!

    Garlic Naan
    Cedric J.

    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

    Tandoori chicken
    Catherine C.

    I give an extra star just for the service. The service was good, but the food was absolute garbage!it just looked good but tasted like paper. The food here taste like different kinds of paper: wet paper, dry paper, hot paper, cold paper. I was so excited to see Szechuan fried rice on the menu. It tasted like wet paper. I was looking so forward to eating the tandoori chicken. It did not even have the classic red color of tandoori chicken and it tasted like hot paper. The noodles were no different. Nothing was good here. The jamoons were decent. However, I have had better. Sorry, but we will never come back.

    Edited to include the handwritten note listing all of the foods that are dairy free and vegan, except the chicken entrées
    Gibby S.

    This place is awesome! I have some dietary restrictions, and the waitress wrote out a list for me of all the dishes that could be made without dairy. And because of their ability to modify dishes, this place works if you're vegan. We got the baingan bharta, garlic naan, chicken curry, aloo ghobi, rice, a type of savory/sweet lemonade, and my friend who is not lactose intolerant ordered the mango lassi and she said it was amazing. Everything was cooked to order and had incredible flavor. The restaurant was clean and colorful with lots of art and decor with a flatscreen TV. There is public parking on the street as well as around the corner. It is in downtown Artesia so there's plenty of window shopping nearby. The prices are decent for the amount of food you get. We will be returning.

    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.

    Sweet lassi

    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!

    I tried Indian food for the first time this past Friday thanks to my brother & sister in law. I…read moredon't know why I haven't tried it before but oh my -- it was sooo good! I loved it. Everything they ordered was delicious. I sort of third wheel myself to their dinner plans so they ordered before I arrived. I'm honestly not a fan of curry but they ordered 3 types of curry and I loved all of them! & the Naan -- OMGGGG. They ordered the garlic naan and 10/10. Sooo good. The inside is clean and well decorated. Lighting is dimmed which I love! The waiters were attentive but also gave us space -- does that make sense? They were quick & welcoming. Overall great experience. I'll be bringing my husband next time. Spacious parking, there's also parking in the back of the building & street parking.

    Update as of August 16th, 2026…read more We haven't been there in a few months, so we decided to take my mom. We were welcomed by new staff there. Let me tell you, the staff before was fine, but this staff now is excellent. We had the opportunity to meet Aditya, who was our server, and he was incredible, along with this young lady, who is probably one of the sweetest waitresses we've met. They had a few other people working that were very friendly, and going to the restaurant is even more enjoyable. Food is always going to be good there, and they are very consistent. India Restaurant is our go to restaurant in Artesia Service is fast Food is very tasty Chicken Tikka is my favorite out of all Indian restaurants I have been to Keema samosas very good Bindi, Naan, Tandoori chicken is all good We have never had a bad meal in the last 20 years we have been going Don't do the buffet

Edit: I was going to delete my review, but I got a private message from the owner with a ton of attitude, asking me to take this down, but I don't feel like that's ethical. I don't think three stars is bad. So just to restate. The food is not bad. But I'm not going to take this review down because I don't feel like it's appropriate for the owner to message you privately with an attitude and try to strong-arm you into taking down the review. I have left plenty of reviews about restaurants in Little India, and not once as anybody messaged me with the tone that you have used with me. So I'm leaving it up. Live and learn. Edit: I got a notification that the owner continued to add to her comment, so to answer her questions, I don't remember what I got because it was several months ago, but I remember that it was just okay. It wasn't bad but your approach to dealing with your customers is. I don't think that Yelp has the option of messaging people so you can come at them with a shitty attitude and strong-arm them into trying to change their review. You're honestly just making yourself look worse.
