Curry House Albany Reviews
Good food and good service all the time. Our family love this place, there is a best Indian food for us.
Great good, nice people, I’ve been getting food from Curry House for years.
Curry House Inc is the best Indian restaurant in Albany. Consistently delicious, high quality and fresh. The service is fast and precise. I am in Albany every other weekend and have ordered from Curry House Inc every time. Love the vindaloo, malai kofta, onion bhaji and garlic naan. Sauces and sides are all homemade and excellent. Highly recommend Curry House Inc to anybody in or around Albany in search of authentic Indian cuisine. One of my favorite Indian places in all of New York.
It was just me and my partner but my lamb makhan was delicious, super tender and had a great taste, shrimp mahkan was excellent as well, the owner was very accommodating and nice, other than it being a bit empty the experience was great and the price was good! Can't go wrong with garlic naan as well.
I LOVED this place when I lived in the state. I really miss it. When I felt down, this place always made me feel better. *Edit* I moved back to Albany and they are still here and their food is still amazing. I miss their lunch buffet but I understand that since covid times things have changed. Same people still there recognized me and there is awesome as ever. I am thrilled to see that they are still around. Go here.
The food is delicious here. It's always on par with my expectations. I've had better Indian food but I've also had much worse. The owner is awesome and is always concerned with quality and the happiness of the customer. I have many friends who'd rate this spot as number one. I also agree with posts about the freshness of the mango lassi. Luckily, I go for the food and my regular drink is water. I give five stars because the food was fantastic and my other half was happy with the food multiple times. If she's happy, I'm happy.
I have ordered the chicken tikka masala and the chicken biryani from here. The biryani could use a bit more spice and herbs for flavor but had decent flavor overall. The tikka masala was pretty good as well, and my preferred dish from the two. They don't seem to have functioning AC in the summer so it is a bit stuffy in the restaurant but they have fans running. I'll continue to do pickup orders from here. Overall this place is a solid Indian food option for the area
The food was very good, but the service was disappointing. The man who was working and serving us, who appeared to be the owner or manager, spent much of the time doom scrolling on his phone, with videos playing at full volume, making it difficult to have a conversation or enjoy the soft music the restaurant was playing on their TV. At one point, he turned off the TV music entirely so he could be on his phone scrolling, and he seemed visibly upset when we kindly asked if the music could be turned back on. After our food was served, he never returned to check on us. On a positive note, the food itself was delicious and we were seated right away. Unfortunately, the poor service outweighed these positives, and we likely won’t return. Hopefully this was a one-off situation and the videos playing at full volume were important.
Food was bland. Tikka masala had a lot of oil, with very mild flavor .the vegetable pakoras were fried in OLD oil had a dark grease with no flavor. The cheese naan had a piece of American cheese inside. I would have never ordered cheese naan if I knew it’d be a piece of yellow cheap processed cheese. I would not order here again. The flavor was missing and is disappointing from a name like “the curry house” do yourself a favor and go to DOSA GRILL for GOOD authentic food.
The food was average. Restaurant owner or manager I’m not sure but he’s very peculiar. We ordered lamb biryani and mango lassi for lunch.. He kept on asking us are we done with our food? For like every 5 Minutes . What’s wrong with him.
The food is good but it was a very uncomfortable dining experience. We were the only people in the restaurant, which is fine, but the owner seemed really really annoyed that we were there. At one point he had a very loud argument on his phone and mentioned something about a lawyer, and we felt like we should leave because it almost felt like we were intruding. I would love to go back but I just don't want to feel uncomfortable like that again.
Edit & Update 7/2019 - BAD MANAGEMENT, STAFF, AND SERVICE! I'd been a patron for over 10 years. Today was my last visit. I was told by the cashier that I couldn't eat the food I wanted from the buffet and I needed to fill up my plate with rice first. My money, to pay for a buffet I've been getting for over 10 years, and I have have been instructed in how and what I must eat as a paying customer, even if I can't/don't want to. Good job curry house. You lost me & and my co workers whom I used to take with me to lunch. Super expensive and small quantities if you order of the menu. Go for the buffet. The lunch buffet is ok value and the options are good. They always have naan and Tikka Masala. A favorite lunchtime meal for eating in or even taken away.
Used to be the best Indian food in Albany, but has fallen off badly post covid. Last order was all old, dry, stale food that arrived cold and pretty much inedible. Figured it was a one time flop, so I wanted to drop by for their famous buffet for lunch a few months back. Turns out, they no longer even appear to do the lunch buffet at all. Make the trek to Troy for Shalimar if you are looking for great food and buffet options.
I wouldn’t eat here. I’m annoyed at myself for even purchasing anything from this establishment. I called and order a mango lassi. Now I’ve had them before so my mouth was already watering for one. I get there… not a customer in sight. Cool… I’m going to be in and out… NERRRRPPP… I waited 5 minutes. Still not one employee comes up front. Ok… well I called them and told them I’m upfront waiting for the lassi. A guy comes out pulls the lassi from the fridge and puts in a bag on a table behind me. Now I’m confused because I’m standing in front of him waiting for him to acknowledge me. So I asked about the mango lassi and he tells me it’s behind me🤦🏾♀️. Ok. I paid him for the lassi and left I know this isn’t NYC… and I won’t get the best quality authentic food or drinks but that mango lassi tasted as if it was sitting in the fridge for awhile… it had an awful after taste. I don’t plan on ever eating anything from here and I don’t suggest you do either.
