SUPER YUMMY! Everything was super well-seasoned, I can't even describe how delicious it was. Came on a Wednesday night around 8:30pm and food was still HOT and fresh. We got Black Pepper Chicken, Chicken Curry, and Chicken Tikka Masala. If I had to rank my favorites in order (pretty difficult because they bring something different), I would say: 1. Black Pepper Chicken 2. Chicken Tikka Masala 3. Chicken Curry I didn't expect the Black Pepper Chicken to taste creamy but spicy. Chicken Tikka Masala was pretty standard. Chicken Curry is good if you want salty and less cream. All of the chicken in the dishes was tender and not dry at all! Mango Lassi is premade, in their fridge. Very delicious and fresh. I would 100% come back again. read more

This is a review I never thought I'd have to write. I've been coming to Orange Curry regularly for the last couple of years since they first opened, and up until last night, I had never had a bad experience. In fact, I've recommended this place to friends and family and have always enjoyed the food. That's why this review is especially disappointing for me to leave. Last night, I stopped by to grab takeout for my girlfriend and myself. I ordered an Aloo Gobi bowl for her, and for myself, I ordered the chili chicken. Anyone who frequents Orange Curry knows that their chili chicken on Fridays and Saturdays is usually one of the most popular items on the menu. When I arrived, I was told they had run out and needed to make another batch, which would take about 15 minutes. No problem at all--I waited patiently in my car, picked up my order, and headed home. The food tasted fine, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary while I was eating. However, less than an hour later, I started feeling extremely sick. The nausea hit first, followed by sweating, stomach pain, and repeated trips to the bathroom. I couldn't keep anything down for the rest of the night. I became so pale that my girlfriend was genuinely concerned, and I spent hours trying to recover. I didn't start feeling remotely normal again until around 4:30 or 5:00 the next morning. To be clear, I can't say with certainty what caused it, but I can say that this was my experience after eating the meal I purchased that evening. Given how severe the symptoms were and how quickly they came on, I felt it was important to share what happened. It genuinely pains me to leave a one-star review because this has been one of my go-to spots for years. I've had many positive experiences here, which makes this situation even more surprising. My hope is that management takes this feedback seriously and looks into whether there may have been an issue with that particular batch of food. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I would feel guilty staying silent after an experience like this. I sincerely hope no one else has to go through what I went through that night. read more

Delicious!! First time and we are very excited to have this now added to our restaurant rotation! We both ordered the 2 item combo: I got black pepper chicken and eggplant, my husband got black pepper chicken and chicken tiki masala, both came with rice and we added garlic naan. We also ordered the cheese naan. Everything was so delicious! Chicken is tender and everything had wonderful flavor. The black pepper chicken was our favorite. The eggplant was surprisingly spicy which we love! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is smaller but clean and seats are comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was very friendly. Photos next time! See you again soon Orange Curry! read more

Love coming here when I want some good Indian food that is close by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior is clean and staff are very friendly and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Decent prices.

This hole in the wall is a great find. The gentleman when we walked in was welcoming and made some suggestions. We ordered samosas, chicken korma, chicken tikka, chicken masala and naan. We got medium which gave a nice kick to the food. The only negative was the chicken korma. The curry was watery, and flavorless but everything else we had was delicious. read more

After Orange Curry, I am officially an Indian food fan! First off, you can taste their Flavorful dishes before you order -- can't beat that! I LOVE the chicken curry -- the heat hits then fades right before the next bite. Pepper chicken is also a fav -- brings the heat big time! They make their butter chicken fresh to order and it is worth the wait -- and by wait I mean like 5 minutes :) The servings are a bang for your buck! The rice is perfectly cooked! The naan is soft & chewy! There is always a parking spot and you can dine in or take out and your food is still hot when you get home. Can you tell I am a HUGE fan?! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The store was clean and the cashier was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had garlic naan, aloo gobi, veggie korma and chicken tikka masala. I think getting this food around 7pm on a weekday was not wise. The garlic naan was very thin, soft and soggy. The curries, especially korma were not creamy or aromatic like the curry spice and the milk were not mixed well (as you can see from the korma) I had to take tums since the korma sat on my chest all night. Hopefully the food will be fresh and well made during weekend when there might be more customers. read more

Indian food is something I usually don't crave. But Orange Curry looked good and a quick option because I was hungry at the time. I went around 6:00 pm and found it in a small little plaza with some other businesses nearby. It was a nice little shop that felt cozy and wasn't too busy at that time. After looking at the different options, I decides to get the chicken tikka masala and the garlic naan. The chicken tikka masala was available right away, so I got right to eating it! It had plenty of flavor and there was plenty of chicken in it. The naan was slightly crispy, but easy to tear apart. This was a great option to dip into the chicken tikka masala. The portion of the dishes were very generous; this wasn't something you can finish in one seating. They accept American Express. read more

No frills Indian eatery with delicious Indian food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't expect fine dining or any sort of ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a small strip mall joint serving flavorful Indian food. The young lady in the front is your cashier, Order taker, food runner, busser and she does all this with a beautiful smile on her charming face. I forgot to ask her name but then she was so busy. The chhole bhature were very good. So was the goat biryani. They made a chicken biryani by mistake but the lovely lady was quick to get that fixed. Comfort food, done right. read more

This spot is a gem I've been passing by this place for months and never came in until today they have the different stews and Curry's on a hot bar ready to eat with white basmati rice and if you like your spice level much higher they will make the food spicier the black pepper chicken was already decently spiced but I wanted it spicier and it was really good the garlic naan pared so well with the sauce the rice soaked up all of the sauces I also ordered a chicken biryani at spice level 8 the rice was so good the smells of the spices were strong but not overpowering and the large pieces of chicken were great also glad I finally decided to come and try it out I will be coming back again to try the rest of the menu read more

I stopped by for a quick lunch. I got the 2-item combo for $14, plus a mango Lassy. They even let me sample a couple of the ready-made items before I picked mine. The food tasted really good and had a nice flavor. They also have a good vegetarian selection. The naan is the best they make the fresh and you can choose regular or garlic for a little extra. read more

SO glad that I live down the street. As others have mentioned, Orange Curry is the place to go for a good meal with a great price. The staff are always so kind and the service is very quick, regardless of whether I am ordering takeout or eating in. I have a soft spot for the eggplant, the chicken korma, and the chicken tikka masala. The eggplant is quite heavy on the ginger, which is what made me gravitate towards it in the first place, and never fails to make me feel warm. The chicken korma is creamy and light, and the meat is tender. I wanted to note that I ordered the vegetable korma once and it was pretty flavorless and thin, very different from the chicken korma. The chicken tikka masala has a decent bit of sweetness and creaminess. I can't remember a time when the meat was too dry. Plain and garlic naan are deliciously soft, a little chewy, and crisp in some areas. read more

This place is fire. The portions are insanely generous, and the food itself is hot (temperature-wise) and packed with flavor. I've never tried chilli chicken before coming here, but it was def the star of my plate. It kinda reminded me of Chinese food with the veggies and seasoning, and it had a kick. As for the black pepper chicken, this was so creamy and comforting. It's also nice that for the 2-item and 3-item combos, they don't charge extra if you want all protein (usually places limit you to one protein and one veggie, etc.). My only criticism is that the garlic naan had some parts that were kinda firm/hard, and it was overall too chewy. I think this was because it was left in the foil to steam, and I brought the food home to eat, so this might've changed the naan's texture. Either that or it was an older piece of naan. Will come back for sure! read more

Orange Curry - 2-item combo (black pepper chicken and chilli chicken) - Indian Near Me - Orange, California

We happened to be in the area and as we were done with our business, we were driving home when we happened to pass this place, checked it out on Yelp, and immediately decided to try it out....given all the positive reviews. A small and fast casual Indian restaurant....and like it says on the sign...."Express Indian Food".....although there are a few tables to enjoy your lunch, it seems most people who come here do so for takeout. My only complaint would be that the parking lot is very small and you may find yourself waiting for a spot to open up, unless you're working nearby and can just walk over. I ordered some of my favorite Indian dishes like, the chicken tikka masala, pala paneer (puréed spinach with Indian cheese cubes), and aloo gobhi (a vegetarian dish made with potatoes (aloo), cauliflower (gobhi), and Indian spices)....each order comes with an order of fresh out of the oven naan bread.....plain or garlic.....I ordered garlic. Ok, yup, everything was served hot and fresh, prefectly prepared, and incredibly yummy...and that naan....went great with the various curries. Very good quality yummy Indian food here! Really can't complain about anything....my wife and I enjoyed the food here very much, but it's a bit far to come on a regular basis. Ok, a bit E buffets costing just a couple of dollars more at other places, but it is what it is. read more

Indian fast food, which is great if you are in a rush. I have had better Indian food but this gets the job done if you don't want to wait for a long time. Chicken tiki masala is a classic and was decent. My boyfriend had the goat curry and I just wasn't a fan. There were a lot of bones. The mango lassi was pretty good but I have never tried it at other places, so my judgement might now be the best. The garlic naan was really fresh and delicious read more

Wow this place hit the spot. Me and my husband shared the 3 combo set for $14.99, which comes with rice and naan (.75 for garlic added). It was our first time so we didn't know what items to order, but the cashier was sweet and offered us samples. We ended up getting the chicken tika masala, eggplant, and goat curry. Don't forget the mango lassi -- it was a good size for $4.99. Someone mentioned that this place isn't for dining, but it was perfectly fine to eat at. They also bring you fresh naan to your table. We'll definitely be back! read more

Good food, quick service! If you like Indian food, this place is a great option. And prices are reasonable.

I came here on a coworker's recommendation, but unfortunately I left disappointed. Food: The dishes were not what I expected. Several items had a watery consistency, including the butter chicken and the yogurt. The garlic naan also lacked flavor. Overall, the food was very underwhelming. Service: This was the most frustrating part. My boyfriend and I waited in line like everyone else, but when the cashier stepped away after partially taking our order, she returned and began taking another customers order who had cut ahead of us. It wasn't just a quick pickup order or something small. The woman placed an order for multiple items and we were never acknowledged during the entire transaction with the other customer. Ambiance: The location itself was clean and organized, which I appreciated. Overall, between the subpar food and the poor service, I don't see myself returning. read more

Orange Curry is my favorite Indian restaurant to go to! The food is excellent and my favorite dishes are malai kofta, samosas and onion kulcha. The customer service is exceptional.

Everything was so delicious, the portions were perfect too and it filled me up FOR SURE. The garlic naan was nice and fresh, and yum yum. Felt welcomed and it was such an amazing dish to start off my day. 10/10! read more

If you're looking for good Indian resturant for 1-2 people, their combo plates are an excellent choice and definitely worth trying. We went with our family last week. The service is amazing and fast especially we really wannaa give big Thanks to the front girl Nilam who is cashier, food runners, order taker is very helpful. She is super friendly gives great suggestions and ensures quick service -- really appreciated! Her polite communication and smile welcoming gives more flavor. Best service, definitely we will be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the restaurant isn't very big or fancy, it's comfortable and a good spot to visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried the chicken biryani, 2-item combo meal which was suggested by the front girl included rice, and naan, it was super delicious choice she gives us.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The space was very clean with a few tables if you wanted to dine in and the process to order was fast![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the chicken tikka masala and palak paneer with garlic naan (2 item combo).

I got the one meat plate for 11.99... it didn't have very much chicken. It was a lot of sauce! I wish the portion was bigger but hey for the price it was fine! I really wish they had butter chicken! I got chicken tikki masala.. it was good but I wish it had a little more flavor!! read more

As an OC born & raised, I can't believe I never tried this place! I was so excited to try this place. I give 3 stars to share the good and the bad as Yelp asks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First time here and the ambiance is spacious and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went around 7:40 and there was only one customer dining indoors. Dont forget the kulfi and other snacks for sale on the side, with a friendly approachable service. The cashier was attentive and ready to take my order. I loved the variety of curries and a great deal for a 3 item combo. It was on the pricey side for 2 gulab jamun at $4 when I've been to AYCE for $18.99 with unlimited gulab jamun. I like to keep my reviews honest-- the bargain is a big part in attracting customers too. Price comparison on the gulab jamun helps with that. The steeper prices for gulab jamun & lassis may be reflective of the cost of living in OC. Apart from that, I tried the palak paneer, chicken tikka masala, and goat curry with garlic naan. These are my go-tos when ordering Indian food. It is really hard for me to offer food critiques when I know that Mom and Pop businesses are just doing their best to provide the services. I want to provide my critique carefully and also honestly, so hopefully it can be constructive. I really mean not to offend. Portion wise remember that you can get an all you can eat buffet for the same price that you get ordering a three item combo plus the gulab jamun flavor wise. I was expecting more pronounced Indian flavors like I've gotten similar chains like Curry Hut. In my opinion, the flavors were significantly watered down. I was expecting a little bit more of spice, but there was no spice for how I've eaten Indian food compared in the past. It seems like the flavors were shifted to meet Americanized palette so I ended up only eating my food for 15 minutes before putting it away. I didn't want to waste it considering how much I paid for the meal but the Indian flavors just weren't there for me. I feel I would have had more authentic flavors from a Trader Joe's, frozen meal pack and I mean this, sincerely with the upmost respect. The chicken tikka masala which I've had in several different establishments tasted very mild, almost flavorless, but it had the correct colors. The spinach in the palak paneer was overpowering & the goat curry had no kick or spice. I mean these comments respectfully and just to portray the Indian flavors. I was hoping to receive from this establishment and I hope it doesn't do any harm to the business to share how my opinion of flavors were. One redeeming factor were the gulab jamun. The big pieces were rich in flavor and sweetness, and I will go again just to get gulab jamun if you've never had Indian food before this place is a must try, but I will say that there are other options with more authentic flavors. read more

What I like most about orange curry is food is simple, not too much heavy spices. It feels like homemade food, very comforting and easy to eat. Not oily or overpowering, just nice and balanced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean and service is fast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The girl working in front is very hardworking, charming and energetic. She handles many customers at same time but never looks tired. She talks nicely and keeps everything running smooth.

Overall really nice spot for Indian food. I will come back again for sure. read more

So full. So delicious. A small spot in an old-school looking strip mall, their big thing seems to be their cafeteria-style combos. Everything looked really tasty. The 3 item combo at $13.99 (as of February 2024) is well worth it. I tried: Palak Paneer: spicy but not hot, there were a lot of flavors dancing around in the greens. The guy behind the counter couldn't find any cheese in the pan so they went in the back and dropped some fresh cubes of paneer in there. Chana Masala: chickpeas stewed in a brothy onion-y gravy, it was another flavor bomb. While a little soupier than other chana masalas I've tried in the past, this had a little heat and was amazing when soaked up by the rice or naan. Chicken Tikka Masala: rich, creamy, and slightly sweet. It was really tasty. Sprinkle some of the chili powder that's on the tables on top of it and you're golden. Garlic Naan: fresh and absolutely delicious. The flavor and texture were perfect. My husband had their daal with his combo and said it was some of the best he's had. I highly recommend checking this spot out. I know we will definitely be back next time we're in the neighborhood. read more

I've been here several times and there food never disappoints! If I need a clean protein fix I normally get the curry chicken or the lentils with rice and garlic naan!

Highly recommend coming by if you're in the mood for some Indian food :) read more

Got the 3-item combo with rice. Comes with a huge naan. Good price for the amount of food that can be shared between 2 people, if not too hungry (less than $15 as of Nov. 2024).
