10 reviews for Curry Spot
Wow! Unexpectedly, I have found a new Indian favorite, and just in a nick of time!! (My all-time favorite here in NYC was Madras Cafe, which recently has closed its doors in Manhattan.) So what do you do when you're grieving a love lost? Distract yourself with a delicious replacement, of course!
While I was working late, I decided to give the relatively new-ish theCurry Spot a try. I ordered some takeout to scarf down while still at the office, and I'm so glad I did!!
While I usually tend to order entrees like Saag Panir or Malai Kofta, this time I opted for the Yellow Takra Dal (Yellow lentils with onions, fresh garlic, and spices.)
It was deliciously flavorful---rich but not too heavy, with subtle spices that left me with a really satisfied feeling. It was served with delicious Basmati rice, with something orange added (spices?) I also splurged and ordered the Garlic Naan, and it was garlic-y goodness beyond compare. (Probably not a good thing to order during/before a date, although it was quite tasty...)
Judging from what I've had so far, the other menu items promise to be very good as well. Everyone working there was so friendly too!!! I can't wait to go back!
Food: 4 stars
Service: 1 star.
To agree with Romy, the place is still working out its kinks. Its service is in effect, terrible, from bus boys to waiters, and extremely slow/confused.
However, the food is really good. It's Indian/North Indian/veering on Pakistani (e.g. they serve meat and some Parsi dishes). The dishes are standard, what you would find at most places, and very flavorful. The prices are also decent (approx 11 for a tikka masala, 2 for naan) and they're offering 25% off for their grand opening.
I'm very happy that we now have a good Indian option in the neighborhood. I have to agree about the wait, since I experienced the long wait during the first week.
Even though I had issues with the delay, given the quality of the food, the wait was well worth it...
With the dismal quality of brownstone Brooklyn's Indian restaurants, we were eager to try Curry Spot. We came away favorably impressed. The entrees were flavorful and not overcooked. The salmon tikka was probably the best we've had. The aloo saag was spiced differently than we've eaten before, but very tasty. Other parts of the meal were less successful. The kachori was too runny for our taste, and the sweet lassi was not frothy and diluted by ice cubes.
Unlike the September reviews, service was prompt and attentive (to be expected when only two couples are dining). All in all, we're glad to now have good Indian food in the neighborhood.
I love the Christmas-light overkill decor out front & the canalabra-style wall sconces inside, each with a bulb in a different color. I went with the $13.95 dinner. That's a lot of food. The staff was really friendly and sharp, and the dark room with a mellow Bollywood soundtrack made a nice refuge from a cold night. The location is strange; almost every other storefront on this block is closed, and they were very uncrowded. They might be hoping for most of their business to come at lunchtime, when they have a $7.95 special.
Never had a long wait, so prior statements are a bit dated. Very good specials on the back of the menu! Good price for portions.
This place is still working out it's opening jitters, so go in when you have some patience. I had a leisurely dinner there the other night, and though it took a while to get out food, everything eventually came out as promised. I am not an expert on Inidan food, but I've had both good and bad, and this is definitely good. The naan was fresh and plentiful, and the lamb in our stews was tender and flavorful. The spices were spot on (to my judgment, anyway) and exciting. And what a bargain! Go for the two course special served during dinner hours (and perhaps lunch as well, I'm not sure). For 13.95, you get crispy flatbread to start, an appetizer and main course with naan and rice, and rice pudding after your meal. The beverages are interesting as well. We tried the Indian Iced Tea and Drink of the East which were both fragrant and refreshing.
Give this place you business. I want them to stick around!
YUMMY!!! Now I'm not an expert by any means on Indian food but I absolutely loved the Curry Spot. I go to school only a few blocks from it, and my friends were pretty hesitant to go. (They had to though, the cafeteria was closed and I had a craving for Indian food.) When we first saw it we almost turned back because of the flags, and other crazy decorations out in front of the restaurant but In the end, my friends all thanked me for finding this place! As college student's we're all about deals, and their two course meal deal, $13.95 is a little steep for us but for an appetizer, an entree, naan bread, and rice, it was definitely worth it. There was no wait at all and the service was great! I've recommended it to everyone, including those who have grown up on home made Indian food.
Finally, a delicious Indian food option in the neighborhood! I agree with what's been said about working out the kinks, but I'm willing to be patient. The food is lovely, the staff is kind and attentive, the prices are more than reasonable, the space is new and clean, and it's quiet and not packed with people on a Friday night. I really cannot ask for more.
This place was delicious. The servers were friendly and the food came out quickly. It could be because we came past the dinner rush, but we did not experience the wait described by others. Check it out for some tasty reasonably priced Indian food.
