We had a perfect Saturday at Curry Leaf! We stopped in on a rainy afternoon, and were granted warmly, seated promptly and served with the more courtesy than I’ve seen in the last 8 years in New York. Of course the service is important, but the part that was most mind blowing was the amazing food! We over-ordered planning to try a lot of different stuff and it was so delicious! We stayed a long time to finish our Goliath plates, and we continued to be accommodated by the incredibly kind server! We ended our meal with a kettle of the coffee to warm us up before going back out into the rain! This is easily my favorite meal of the year so far, and I am excited to have this restaurant in my neighborhood! We’ll be back soon!

Curry Leaf Indian Cuisine was a really solid takeout choice, and everything tasted great even after the ride home. We started with the samosas, which were stuffed with peas and curried potatoes. Samosas are a classic Indian street snack, and these were done really well. They weren’t spicy, but they were nicely seasoned and comforting. The filling had simple, warm spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and a touch of garam masala, which gave it flavor without heat. I got the lamb curry, which was my favorite. Lamb curry is usually slow cooked so the meat absorbs the spices, and you could really taste that here. It was cooked in freshly ground spices with a tomato-based gravy that was slightly acidic and nicely spicy. The flavors came from spices like cumin, coriander, chili powder, garam masala, garlic, and ginger, which gave the sauce depth and warmth. It paired perfectly with rice and felt hearty and satisfying. My boyfriend ordered the butter chicken, a classic dish that originated in Delhi and is known for its rich, creamy tomato sauce. This version was smooth and comforting, made with tomatoes, butter, cream, and spices like garam masala, cumin, coriander, and mild chili. The only thing I’d note is that there were bones in the chicken. Personally, I think butter chicken is easier to eat when it’s boneless, but flavor-wise, it was still really good. We also got garlic naan, which tasted amazing soft, fluffy, and perfect for scooping up all the curry. The naan was fragrant with garlic and brushed with butter. To drink, we had a mango lassi, made with yogurt, mango, and a touch of sugar. It was creamy, refreshing, and not overly sweet, which balanced out the spices in the meal. Curry Leaf Indian Cuisine is a great option if you’re craving comforting, classic Indian food that travels well. The flavors were warm, balanced, and familiar, and it’s definitely a place I’d order from again.

Honestly one of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood. Food is always super tasty. The garlic naan is cooked so well. Very comforting. Dining in is cute & cozy, too.

Very underrated. I started ordering from here some number of months ago and it's consistently very good, easily my favorite Indian food in the city. My go to is usually the mango lassi, rasam soup, and palak paneer. The bhaji are also quite good, and the garlic naan is VERY garlicky. The interior looks kind of like an old office, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice by passing on this place because of that. It's just....better than you think it's going to be.

The best Indian food I’ve had in a while!!! This spot is cozy, with only a few tables, great for a local date night. The staff was super kind and accommodating! The chai was serviced in a teapot, with adorable tea cups! The chicken tikka masala, korma, and curries were huge portions, and so rich in flavor! The chicken was so tender. Plus, super affordable! We will absolutely be back :)

Crazy good food. Made me genuinely emotional. The naan tastes like heaven, the service was superb, and everything was super affordable given the quantity and quality. I Will Return.

everything was phenomenal! standout dishes for me were the biryani & the goan fish curry. the biryani had such a depth of flavor & the raita was the perfect pairing. the goan fish curry had a coconut-y flavor & the texture of the fish was perfect. a lovely surprise was the gulab jamun at the end - probably the best gulab jamun i’ve ever had! soft & warm & so fresh! other dishes we got were the chicken tikka masala, bhelpuri & papri chaat, and of course garlic naan. not a single dish disappointed!

One of the most authentic Indian food experiences hidden in Brooklyn (I am from India). Also unbeatably good prices, simple place with all focus on freshly made great food. Service is great and it’s a cozy space. Highly recommend and will be back. Special shoutout to the chicken 65!

We got the saag malai, one of the fish curries, the lamb stuffed naan and the spinach paratha and everything was superb. The fish was very tender and we were pretty impressed. My boyfriend also commented that he could taste the tamarind flavor in the saag. The lamb stuffed naan had a bit more flavor than the spinach paratha, which tasted a bit like a less greasy scallion pancake. Our server Anil was the best server I’ve ever had at an Indian restaurant. He was extremely friendly, answered all of our questions on the menu and suggested his favorite fish curry, and checked on us several times and even made sure that the spice level was good. Would highly recommend this Bushwick spot as a dine in option but we also say plenty of takeout orders getting fulfilled

The food was amazing, it was my boyfriends and I first time having Indian food and it did not disappoint at all, we ordered the desi butter chicken, lamb tikka Masala (my fav), lamb curry and mango chicken with some naans and apps! It’s a small dimly lit space for an intimate homey setting. Definitely coming back here again

This place is amazing and easily some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had, especially for the price! It’s exceptional in quality and freshness, especially if you like more mild flavors and can’t take the heat. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Came here with friends and we enjoyed everything here. The food was amazing. I got the chicken biryani (mild spice) and literally the first bite I took, I was like "Wow, this is so freaking good". The servers were very nice and welcoming, we were able to chat with them for a bit and made the experience amazing. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

Monica Kangari

We are so happy to have a delicious Indian restaurant in the neighborhood! The lamb korma was spiced well with amazing flavor, the lamb was very tender. Highly recommend and we will be back for sure!

Laura Lacy

This place is great! We ordered lamb vindaloo, paneer, garlic naan, chicken biryani and vegetable samosas. Everything felt very elevated from other Indian take out that we’ve gotten in the neighborhood and the flavors of everything was complex and rich with aromatics and spice. The lamb and chicken were both extremely tender and obviously there’s care in choosing the cuts of meat with no chewy or muscly bits. The naan was so delicious and definitely very fresh with nice elasticity and a soft chew. Perhaps the most delightful were the samosas which felt very home made and texturally were fantastic with a bit of crispy on the outside of the dough and a soft savory filling that was made even better paired with the sauces that they came with. We will definitely order again and make our way through the menu.

Great new place added to the neighborhood, in my opinion it is the best Indian restaurant on the area. The service was good, the food was delicious, authentic flavors and the spices, salt, sweetness are spot on. We even tried the cheeseballs with honey as a dessert and it blow my mind how delicious it was. Strongly recommend this place. Me and my wife were very happy to eat here. We’ll be back for sure.

The food was quite bland (I had their daal that they advertise as a speciality and it wasn't flavorful at all. A person eating with me from India also agreed!). And one of the dishes was had to be sent back because it was too tough to eat. And then when it came back it was also too tough. Also the outside looks cool but the inside is just white walls! Friendly people working there but I probably won't be eating here again.
