EXTREMELY authentic! Do not come here with the impression that this food will taste anything like other similar restaurants. Only come here if you want food from the homeland of India/Pakistan. read more

Amazing small restaurant that really has amazing food quality. Went in and menu was solid and the staff is really nice. Also the anda paratha was just like the back home pathan owned nashta spots. Really reminded me of the quetta chai spots and good chai. This is so far the best spot ive had in sacramento, way better than many bay area locations and we were visiting. Would recommend others to come here if they want solid pakistani food read more

Desi Curry - Keema & Paratha - Pakistani Near Me - Sacramento, California

Go if you want a desi breakfast only!! They excel at that but otherwise their food is pretty mediocre. I would say do take out because their utensils look unwashed, they refused to turn their AC on despite it being 90 degrees out and it was a full house. Everyone's eyes were burning because of the lack of ventilation in the kitchen while the barbecued food. The bathrooms were dirty. The location itself isn't that great. read more

We came here to sample the food, but I feel compelled to share my honest opinion in the hopes of attracting more customers for the owner. It's a self-service establishment, and I found myself questioning why we even decided to dine here. The process of ordering your food and constantly going back and forth to collect it was quite tedious. The fish pakora was disappointing, as only a small portion was served. The kharahi chicken was the worst I've ever tasted; it had a strong flavor of tomato paste and the portion size was incredibly small. The tandoori Roti was overcooked and tough, leaving my husband dissatisfied, especially considering the high price we paid for such subpar food. The staff were unfriendly, the lighting was inadequate, and the air conditioning was not even on. It was a complete waste of both time and money, as the place was practically empty. The presence of homeless individuals outside made entering and exiting the establishment quite unsettling. I have no intention of returning, and I believe the owner needs to address numerous issues in order to improve the overall experience. read more

Haven't had curry in a while, so I decided to get some chicken tikka masala, and chicken biryani. Also some rice. I placed the order on door dash and picked it up on my way home. It was ready early which was nice because I arrived sooner than expected. It looked like a mostly pickup spot but I just walked in and my food was ready. There was a woman in the kitchen and it seemed like she was doing everything. Since it's right down the road from my house the food was still piping hot when I unpacked it. I actually find a lot of Indian food too spicy for me but I love chicken tikka masala. Theirs was very delicious, a little spicy at first but it's not painfully spicy. I was surprised that the chicken in the chicken biryani wasn't boneless chunks. The flavor was great however, I probably didn't read the description correctly. Overall, I'd definitely come back, it's on northgate on my way home so it's convenient, and it's one of the only Indian/Pakistani places in the area. read more

Restaurant looks very plain and simple, but very clean and welcoming Food was amazing. It definitely packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I tried out one of their curries, and it was delicious. Just the right amount of spice with meat, being very succulent and full of flavor as well. Definitely enjoyed myself and recommend as a family spot read more

Horrible Horrible. I ordered the goat kahari spicy and it was just salty and with a bit of spiciness. Filled with fat chunks, very little goat meat, mostly bones. For $19. I expect more. I couldn't eat it, just annoyed, hungry and I had high hopes. Never again. I hope uver refunds me. Waste of $30 and my time. They didn't even bother to give napkins or cutlery. read more

One of our current go to spots is Desi Curry we have been there a few times now and have tried a variety of dishes from halwa puri, Nihari and desi breakfast items to the non-veg thali. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and homemade. The parathas, especially, are to die for so flaky, buttery, and full of flavor. Highly recommend! They open mostly at 7am and offer halwa puri breakfast 7 days a week. 10/10 recommend it. read more

Came here for desi breakfast and it did not disappoint! Eveything was so fresh and felt like an authentic home cooked Pakistani breakfast. Not many Pakistani restaurants in Sacramento offer so much variety for breakfast and this really sets them apart. Owners were extremely friendly as well. Definitely will be back for more! read more

I came here after my sister recommended this spot. We are always on the lookout for good Pakistani food in Sacramento and the food here was so good! We got the brain masala, nihari, garlic and roghni nan, kheer and mango lassi. Everything was fresh and very flavorful, perfect spice level. My husband said it was the best Pakistani food he has ever had at a restaurant. We will definitely be back to try more items! read more

They make the best chicken biryani in all of Sacramento. I know the service is slow but they are doing everything to support their business. I do what to share that for a little while they started do smaller portions but now they are regular size portion for the price and I am happy that the owners realized it ! If you like biryani please give them a try read more

Absolutely incredible food. The area isn't great, but this place is worth it. Super friendly staff and other patrons too! We got the chicken cochi and the chicken tikka masala curries, with garlic naan, and I also got a falooda (vanilla ice cream sundae with vermicelli). Fantastic flavor in the curries and naan. We've been to a lot of places where the naan was really bland or the curry was all oil, this place isn't that. If you're looking for serious comfort food and good people, go to Desi Curry. read more

Amazing food, great service and very sweet chef. Highly recommend you to visit. Kheer was Bomb!!

This could have been a 5-star review, but they fell short on several things. The good: the food is fantastic. Absolutely excellent. Good-sized servings, wonderful flavors, it looked good and tasted really good. Bad: they told us there might be a 20 minute wait as there was only 1 person in the kitchen. 45 minutes later, we got our food. During this time, the owners (and parents) allowed a very cute 3-yr old boy to run around the restaurant constantly letting out ear-shattering shrieks (I am not kidding - I have kids, and they're not always well behaved, but this was insane), without a single word of reprimand. No care whatsoever for the appropriateness of this being in a public place or there being other families trying to eat. Jarring to say the least. We got our own water and instruments etc. as they seemed short-staffed. That's not a big deal. I might get takeout from them again, but most likely would not eat there. Again, the food is excellent and the staff very nice, just unbelievably slow. read more

Amazing food and great vibes. Chef is amazing. Highly recommended if you are looking for good authentic desi food in sac.

I recently dined at Indian Curry in Sacramento and was thoroughly impressed! From the moment we walked in, the aroma of spices filled the air, hinting at the authenticity and quality of the food to come. Every dish we ordered was packed with vibrant, traditional flavors that truly brought the taste of Pakistan. The curries were perfectly spiced, rich, and deeply flavorful, and the naan was freshly baked to perfection. I particularly enjoyed the biryani--it was fragrant and perfectly balanced. The staff was welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a place in Sacramento to enjoy authentic, delicious Pakistani-Indian food, Indian Curry is a must-visit. Highly recommend! read more

Food and service is great. I highly recommend that people should try their food. I'm a very picky eater.

New "mom n' pop" restaurant we decided to give a try to a couple of months ago. We ordered a variety of curries and tandoori grilled meats and nan, everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked deliciously. The owner/operators are very friendly. The decor is not fancy at all, but is of no importance for a place like this, you come for the food. I would recommend the chicken kebabs, the ground meat mixed with spices is very satisfying, perfectly spicy, not too hot, not too mild. It's in a rougher area of town, but you won't feel too unsafe. If you do, just order it to go if you're not used to this area. read more

I will not support a place just because it's halal. We went to try this restaurant for the first time and we weren't expecting any 5-star food as all Pakistani restaurants are sub par in Sacramento area. We were served old food as it has been reheated and we could tell. The taste wasn't good either. Then the ambiance was like everything other Pakistani restaurant terrible. The service was well nothing as it's a self serve place and place wasn't clean either. Please do better!!!!!!! read more

If you are looking for REAL Pakistani food, Desi Curry is the place to tickle your tastebuds. The cook/owner is a very accomodating and delightful Pakistani Woman named Ms. Khan. Her assistants, Kamaljeet and Mudusdr provided prompt and friendly service. Ms. Khan went out of her way to customize my Anda Paratha. All the ingredients were Fresh and Tasty. My husband went for the buffet which did not disappoint. He had the Goat Karahi and the Cholay Halwa Puri as well as some Naan. The breads were made fresh to order. He saw my Paratha and decided to have that as well. Everything was fresh and delicious. He said it was like eating his Mom's food. That, in my opinion, is a true compliment to the chef! This establishment was clean and inviting and we highly recommend that you try it if you are looking for authentic Pakistani food! read more

The tamarind, mint chutney,and the mango lassi were pretty good, but everything else tasted just warmed up. Both chicken orders had that Fridge taste if you know what I'm talking about. I am Mexican and I love Indian/pakistani food but unfortunately this place is not it :( I only came because I live close and saw good reviews :( *Service was good the ladies were really nice. read more

I've ordered from this place twice. Both times the food was excellent but I found two long hairs in my second order. It's so disappointing because I was excited to continue buying from this place but now I'm scared I'll find more hair in future dishes I order. I read another review on GrubHub and that person also mentioned seeing hair, but I thought maybe it was a one time incident.. I hope the owners read this review and make some changes because I'd love to come back as a customer. read more

This place is brand new, and the location is not of the best. Don't let that fool you, because the food here is really good and very decent in price. I got goat karahi, and my friend had chicken tikka. Service by Mazan was good as well. This place will definitely get me to come back and try more dishes from their amazing selection. Garlic Naam was also very tasty! read more

Wow what a great find. I just heard about this place from a friend and decided to give it a try. Was absolutely amazing as a whole. Food was really tasty and everything was made fresh. The uncle and aunty making the food were super hospitable and welcoming. The food tastes homemade which is super rare for a restaurant. Overall it's a very clean and decently sized restaurant. The tikka masala, goat Karahi, naan and malai boti were fireee. Definitely will be back. Also super nice touch they have a room to pray namaz in. read more
