The food here was interesting. The appetizer choices are a spin off of the traditional Indian dishes adding in some American flare. (E.g. cheese samosas) the menu was very limited though but I guess that allows the chef to concentrate on their specialties. I enjoyed their chicken tikka Marsala, saag paneer, and garlic naan read more

Service was great however I didn't see at all where the plates were going , no real solid structure. The nameless items are a mish mash of who knows what region of who knows where topped with a side of sprouts. read more

I hope the owners read this. I'll try to make this quick. My friends and I were excited to find an Indian restaurant close to us. The food was great and we were def going to come back. We payed and headed to the door, the waitress, Danielle, ask if the service was good and we said yes (not thinking anything of it). As soon as we leave and Head towards the car, she catches us again and ask if the service was good because the we didn't leave a gratuity fee and said it doesn't reflect the service. I reminded her the tips are optional and I usually do tip, but since she asked for it I told her no. She felt entitled to the tip and she does not reflect on the culture or respect for the Indian cuisine. I've never been chased out for a tip. I was shocked to say the least. I won't head back to avoid Danielle. I really like the restaurant and what they are about but I def didn't experience excellent hospitality. read more

Located near the corner of Fern and 30th, there was plenty of street parking around 5pm on a Friday. If you park at the meters, it's free after six. They have a few tables outside on the sidewalk and a few tables in their patio. Be warned that you'll most likely be bitten by mosquitoes or flies landing on your food. We sat out in the patio but then moved indoor when my legs got devoured by mosquitoes and popped up like hives. We ordered: Dynamite wings Samosa slim Curry fries Curry mac n cheese Chicken masala Butter chicken All the curry tasted the same. Sorry to say but it's like me making curry in the Instapot and slapping it on the waffle fries, Mac, and wings. The samosa had potato fillings and came with a tamarind and chutney dip. The butter chicken came with a few pieces of shredded chicken while the masala was something I've never seen before. The pieces of chicken were on a plate with the masala sauce in a bowl in the center. I had more sauce than the masala. So it made it dry when the chicken is not in the sauce. For some reason the basmati rice was not good either. It was just plain. We spent a total of $95 and I didn't feel like we got our monies worth when everything was just average. The service and ambiance was nice. It might have been different if we were able to add spice levels. The best item would be the garlic naan. My drink was a mojito and usually I ask for something sweet but all their drinks are on the sweeter refreshing side so can't go wrong. The mojito was actually too sweet for my liking. It'll be best if you can go during happy hour to try the same thing but less on your wallet. read more

Came here with friends who enjoy coming for Indian food. I can see why. Relaxing with its warm colored walls/decor and mildly dimmed lights. It's a bit posh and hip at the same time. Great for a date and good for groups but make a reservation. All the food was good, some a bit more spicy than others. A bit pricier than some traditional Indian restaurants I've been to in LA and OC, but you're also paying for the ambiance and it being in the hip part of South Park. Street parking is a bit difficult on weekends and holidays. For 6 people, we ordered the following: Mango Lassi Gulab Jamun Garlic Naan Cheese Naan Yogurt cucumber Raita Karma Soup Curries (came with rice): Tikka Masala Saag Green coconut Vegetable Korma @grace.loves.adventures @curryositysd I would come back again. read more

I love this place! Their tikka masala and butter chicken is flavorful, creamy, and has the perfect amount of spice! Might be a little spicy if you don't prefer it. We came on a Friday night and I'm glad we made a reservation since it can get pretty busy. The staff is nice as well! read more

Curryosity - Tikka masala, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan - Indian Near Me - San Diego, California

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I love this place and think it's so unique and fun as well. We came with empty bellies and left satisfied and happy. For starters, I had the mango cocktail and we shared the chutney sampler. I really enjoyed the sweeter chutney. Next came the curry fries. I was afraid they'd be too soggy, but they were delicious. They were well fried before being topped with curry. There wasn't a single dry fry on the plate. We continued making pigs of ourselves by ordering tikka masala, rice and garlic naan...then asked for a SECOND order after we devoured the first. Reservations are recommended and if curryosity can do one thing, it's to broaden your palette and enjoy a mash of us cuisines. read more

Having walked this part of South Park multiple times, the smell of curry emanating from Curryosity has always made me curious about dining in here. We stopped in on a Thursday night, which so happens to be Date Night Thursdays here! 2 drinks and an appetizer with a heart symbol next to it for $18 - what a deal! Drinks: we had the Bombay Sangria and Imili Temptations. The sangria presentation was great but the taste was more of a fruity beer than a sangria, which wasn't exactly what we were expecting/looking for. The imili temptations has a mix of tamarind, cumin, lime, and soju vodka but the flavors were mild and didn't really stand out. Appetizers: the Bhel Puri and Chutney Sampler were both excellent. The Bhel Puri was a nice, cool, curry-flavored salad-like dish with puffed rice, potatoes, onions and a hint of tamarind - definitely a unique appetizer which we thoroughly enjoyed. The Chutney Sampler came with spiced mango chutney, mint chutney, herby hot sauce, and a tangy tamarind chutney that you dip wheat chips in - all sauces were just perfect for a wide range of flavors in a simple appetizer. Mains: we tried the Chicken Masala and Rack of Lamb. The masala was nice and warm but the flavor was tame and reminded us more of a tomato basil soup. The chicken was a little tough and dry for some reason but the masala was great to dip the naan (the naan was exceptional!) The rack of lamb was a bit disappointing at its price point of $30 - it was cooked well but for all the seasoning the menu says its marinated in (ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric), it somehow didn't have much of those flavor profiles showing up and tasted a little bland tbh. I found myself dipping the lamb into the masala sauce for some sort of flavor for a majority of the meal. It also came with some greens which I guess was supposed to be a side salad but wasn't doing a whole lot for me. Both dishes come with rice but the rice tasted old and also lacked flavor but still was fine to pair with the sauces. They have some bar seating, regular indoor seating, and outdoor seating and is modestly decorated. Service was fine and attentive, but I did feel a tad rushed throughout the meal. Overall, Curryosity for sure has some amazing Indian dishes here while some were not to our liking; however, there were definitely some other items on the menu that still has me curious, so I would not mind coming back to try those next time! read more

Nice ambiance, a little cozy. The good tastes good and they have a good variety. It usually gets busy on Saturday nights, so you have to wait for around an hour to get a table here. Last time I went with 4 friends and when we got the bull, we got charge an extra percentage for service. They claimed that they charge for parties of 5 and up. This is not okay for so many reasons, but the first reason is that this information should be clearly stated on the menu or somewhere else, so that customers know it beforehand and can decide whether they want to stay and pay the fee or not. By the way, bigger parties will take less space than if they all seat in couples in different tables. They will also all request (usually) the food at the same time, so the waitress doesn't need to be coming back to the table many times... they can come less times for more people. read more

DON'T go to this place on a Sunday night. I've been to this establishment 3 times already. We just moved to north park and loved the idea of being able to walk to dinner. Usually this place is amazing, service is wonderful, foods great (usually we get the friendly guy server sorry I didn't get his name but he served us twice) We went to dinner last night around 8 pm. There was maybe a table or two and one sever. It wasn't busy at all but yet our server she kept forgetting half of my meal. The paneer seems like it was cut into thin slices and not the normal cube size so that's disappointing. They were out of chai also. I've never been to an Indian restaurant where they ran out of chai. It seems like they run out of everything on Sunday (even good service) read more

I've come here multiple times at this point and I have to say it's easily one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego! The staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful with determining what to order or just chatting! The food is phenomenal! The snacks are probably my favorite part of the menu since you get to try so many things and enjoy the fun fusion flavors! The curry mussels and the curry fries have to be my absolute favorites! The restaurant is adorable and cozy and feels pretty open despite the fact that is a little smaller than expected. It's well priced, delicious, and always an incredibly fun time for me! read more

I really love curiosity and it's my go-to whenever I'm hosting guests to San Diego. I've been coming here for over a year now and very much enjoyed their vindaloo, rogan josh, saag, and tikka masala. Their mango lassi drink is also really amazing, and so is their chai masala. They also make excellent naan! There's usually little to no wait for a table which is awesome, and they have good outdoor seating if it's a nice day and one wants to enjoy one of the coolest parts of the city. read more

Service was good only complaint towards that part; is that the dish she wanted me to use was already on the table and dirty, but it was changed as soon as I pointed it out. Also server did not tell me that a tablespoon of mint chutney was $2.00 Food: I was served half a cup of flavorless rice less and then five ounces of chicken in the tikka Marsala that was $18. Over priced, for the quantity and "quality". It seemed as if I was served a frozen prepackage meal. Chai was the only part that was good, not great but good. read more

Chocomosa - yummy but it's like a Nutella samosa, pistachio ice cream with it is a good combo Ambiance: hipster w/ a hint of appropriation but it's ok I knew this before going Service: great! Our host checked on us multiple times and made sure we were happy about everything read more

3.75 stars. Very cute, loved the decor. The food mostly wowed. We came on a Wed evening. So parking along the street was not as bad. Expect it gets really busy in the neighborhood as there are lots of eateries. We got seated immediately. The pink and white decor is soothing. I also particularly loved the steel plates and glasses. Wed they have a wine special. If you're a foodie like me, go on Monday when they have a free naan. We ordered the dynamite wings, rack of lamb, green coconut curry chicken and a garlic naan. We loved the chutney and sweet sauce on the wings. The wings themselves were ok. Nothing out of world and would've preferred them a bit more crispy. The rack of lamb was delicious. The masala sauce that comes with it is really good! Even the salad base was well-made. My boyfriend asked for it to be medium rare but I (who prefers no chewy meat) was able to eat and enjoy it all the same! The coconut curry chicken took me back home to South India. Not too spicy and they got the flavors just right for it to sing :) loved it. Garlic bread was thin and broke a little too quickly but I liked the taste of it. It is much lighter than the usual which is refreshing. The turmeric rice that accompanied it all was disappointing - dry, pretty much tasteless and felt a little stale. Overall portion sizes are small. The rack of lamb costs $25. So based on the small portions, above average costs and the disappointing rice, 3.75 stars. read more

Some of the best indian food in San Diego! Always great flavor and service is very fast. They do nickel and dime you on every little thing like sauces and the naan is very overpriced but the ambiance is really good and worth it once and a while! read more

Went here for happy hour with my friend. AMAZING happy hour. We got the fried chicken, bruschetta, curry fries, vegetable samosas, and two of their happy hour drinks. Not only is it an amazing deal but the food was SO GOOD. I would especially recommend the fried chicken and the samosas. If I could I would inject the fried chicken into my bloodstream. Def go here for happy hour read more

I've been here many times and liked it... last night the saag chicken was not good. Tasted like boiled chicken was thrown in the saag and was ridiculously spicy. The water they put on the table in the container had a horrible taste. Service was good. I'm going to look for a different Indian go to. read more

Went here on a Sunday for a super late lunch and it was happy hour! Such a cute place, love the touches of Indian-ness in their decor, the paintings, colorful cushions, the restroom signs are Indian actors. Our order Appetizers: Samosa Slim Curry fries Naan Bruschetta Curry mac & cheese Main course: Paneer tikka masala Garlic naan Cheese naan Drinks: Imli temptation Nirvana sangria Monsoon mojito The curry fries were really different! They were light and crisp with coconut and tomato curry sauce. The naans were the best - hot and fresh. The cheese naan came with a side of mango chutney, more like a jam, which was amazing! The drinks were the highlight. The imli temptation is a must-have, never had something like this before! Our server was really sweet. Rest of the food was okay. A nice attempt at Indian fusion. However, the curry in the curry Mac & Cheese and the Paneer Tikka Masala tasted almost the same, could be more authentic Indian. read more

Curryosity - Tikka Masala Chicken - Indian Near Me - San Diego, California

Allow me to kill your curryosity. What started as a hopeful night of celebrations, quickly transpired into a Diet Coke fueled display of Karen-ism. Seating: Our party of 3 had a 7:30 reservation, but was shown our seats at 7:45...SHOWN. Not walked. We sat ourselves and pushed our own tables together, then googled the menus since we didn't get any. Drink/apps: 20 after, we ordered our food and Diet Cokes. Only after asking twice for our drinks, we received a kid-sized cup of DC. Our appetizer came next. We ran out of DC (and patience) by this point, and requested pitchers to hold us over. Maybe I caught you guys on a bad bad bad night but maybe don't overbook reservations and takeout orders. That way I'm not celebrating my bestfriends promotion waiting for 2 hours for only half of our order and a terrible wait (keep in mind I've worked serving tables before and I've never written a review like this before.. but wow i've never seen this) Ordering: 20 minutes later still no water or a sight of a waiter or MENUS? At this point we googled the website and just looked up the menus. We finally place our order. 30 minutes later we finally got our curry fries all 6 pieces. Keep in mind we still haven't gotten our drink order. I ask him again and we finally got our drink in 15 min after appetizers. What upset me the most was our waiter would tell us he was getting our drinks and walk the complete opposite direction. This happened throughout the night at one point he came up to us and asked if we were good and needed any boxes. I was shocked because we didn't even get the other half of our order!!!! At this point we've reached the 2 hour mark with half of our food still not there. We asked to close out at this point and I complained about how we still haven't received our food. Our waiter quote said "it is what it is idk what to tell you" and just left never apologized or once said sorry. At this point we stormed out. We ended up getting our actual dinner at another restaurant in 20 min of the time. The food was pretty good but the service made it just not good at all read more

Such a great spot! I usually am iffy on Indian fusion places, but Curryosity may have changed my mind. My boyfriend and I were visiting San Diego for a little over a week, and were determined to try as much good food as possible. We happened upon this restaurant on one of the latter days of the trip, and came back the next day for another meal despite not wanting to repeat any places because it was just THAT good. Very friendly staff, amazing food (the roti and naan have my entire heart, whew), fantastic overall experience(s)! +Chicken tikka: among the best I've ever had. Perfectly flavorful, smooth, good portion size, comes w/ rice (I could eat their rice plain, it's so good) +Rack of lamb: Delicious, tender & marinated well, comes w/ rice and chutney +Garlic naan & tandoori roti: Super fresh, came out soft yet crispy. A must have! +Hot chai: wonderfully spiced, comes in a cute cup/saucer with a biscuit and refills +Dirty chai: interesting flavors, definitely a bit stronger than I expected but that isn't necessarily a con, hahaha -Curryosity salad: basic dressed $7 salad of the day with tomatoes & cucumbers; would skip unless you really want fresh veggies. The $4 Kachumber salad is more worth your money and satisfying enough if you want a salad on the side. read more

Excellent Experience in Every way! I am always in the hunt for Indian restaurants that are making an effort to be unique and be able to cater their food to wider American audiences.

Definitely be back to try rest of the menu! read more

We stopped here for a late, light meal. Loved the decor and seating options. We were able to sit at a table that was just inside, but facing the patio with all doors open. Our group of three had a beer, nice glass (good-sized pour) of red blend wine, and the exotic-tasting Imili Temptations cocktail with cumin sprinkled on top. All exactly what we wanted. We had latkes, chicken with green coconut curry and the masala curry with tofu. Plus some excellent garlic naan (free on Mondays!). Sadly, no photos, but the food was great, service quick and friendly, and definitely a fun atmosphere. Give it a try. read more

I have just become a regular of curryosity! My bf and I have been wanting to try Indian food for a while but all of the places here in SD never called our attention. This place is fairly new and as soon as we heard of it, its been on our list ! Service upon arrival was great. There wasnt really anyone dinning when we first got there (18:30) so there wasnt a wait. Our waiter Joelle was great, giving us recommendations about the food as well as our drinks ! After all of our questions and Joelle's generous hospitality we decided on the some potato pancakes that came in a tamarind sauce(so good), Chicken Masala and the Tandoori chicken , both with Naan bread, (ORDER IT !!!). I can express enough how DELICIOUS the chicken masala was !! Both of our entrees came with rice(which was okay) but there sauces that accompany the meals make up for everything that might needs some 'Umph'. The tandoori chicken was cooked well, stayed juicy and had an amazing color . The sauces that came with the tandoori were what made the dish for me . And again, the Naan.... just WOW! I don't think our first experience could have been any more perfect! We will be definitely coming back ! read more

Service was very friendly although a bit on the slow side.. but I would definitely wait again just to eat here read more

Nice ambience. Good food and customer service. The only negative is parking can be hard to find.

I made reservations for a large party and we chose to sit in the lounge area. The lounge was outfitted with low tables and cushions on the floor. It was a unique and relaxing way to dine. It also afforded our party privacy. Our waitress was welcoming and friendly. She was helpful with menu suggestions as well. The food was delicious! We ordered chicken masala and chicken vindaloo with both regular naan and garlic naan. Highly recommend both dishes. If you prefer your food on the spicier side, go with the vindaloo. read more

Indian food never fails me! My friends and I came here for dinner & it wasn't too packed, thankfully! We found good parking, got seated very quick, and our food came out fast. I ordered: CURRY FRIES - This was a shared place & pretty good size to hold us over before our food came. Loved the flavors I just wish it was a bit spicier, which I'm sure could be requested. TANDOORI SHRIMP - I got this with a side of garlic naan, of course the naan stole the show. The amount of shrimp was good, very flavorful. I wish I had known that we had to request for the spiciness; Indian food is typically always spicy so I didn't think I needed to, but the spice was what was missing & kept this dish from being a 5/5. I didn't care for the rice, but having this with the garlic naan was fire. CUSTOMER SERVICE - They were quick & friendly! read more
