Last night we decided to go out and try a restaurant we had never been to before. My husband said he felt like Indian food so we decided to try Curry's. What an enjoyable experience! Starting off we were presented with refreshing lime water, the decor was very classy with low lighting and Indian music faintly playing in the background. Our candlelit table was soon laden with scrumptious food starting with an appetizer called Onion Bhaji, six pieces of shredded onion breaded with spiced chickpea batter. Since we follow a vegetarian diet, we decided upon Vegetable Tandoori Masala as our main course. The spicy curry tomato was paired with fresh hot green chillies, spices and vegetable pllao creating an authentic Indian flavor. "Best curry I have ever tasted" was my husbands comment. Our waiter was very polite and attentive and filled out stainless water glasses on numerous occasions with a smile. I would highly recommend Curry's Restaurant for anyone looking for high quality Indian fare served in a fine dining setting.
Finally went to Currys in London.Restaurant looked gr8 from the outside.Walked in the frond door & was totally surprised by decor (don't know why) it was nice & cozy,quaint if that fits the discription.Anyway service was x-cellent food was gr8 also.It wasn't 2 crowded which was gd.It was nice that the owner(Susan) also Trini came over 2 chat 4 a few.Overall the restaurant (Staff) made us feel very welcome......oh & going to the washroom I felt like I was headed 4 the kitchen :) & you will 2.
I had the chicken roti which was gr8 & my GF had......"hmmmm" would you believe I cant remember but I know she thought the food was gr8 also as she doesn't do too good with "spicy hot".What we liked about Currys is that they make your food (mild -hot) to your taste buds....finally a restaurant that gets it right!!.....I know we will be coming back to Currys again.Oh & I did have the whipped mango yogurt drink......it was soooooo 'MMMM"!!! Need I say more about this place.Go check it out !!
I've had some rotis before, and I used to confidently say the best ones I have had were in Toronto. Well, not anymore! This ranks up there among the best. I thought the goat was very spicy but good (I did order it indian-hot, so the onus is mine), definately want to try out a veg option next time, and I'm a sucker for curried channa
Onion bhaji were FREAKIN AMAZING!!!!! Really great spice, not too overpowering, absolutely loved em.
I went for lunch, so the place was maybe quarter full, but hard to tell. Decor looks really interesting. Bright colors with lower lighting makes for a really cozy and exotic experience. Kudos to that cool branch display in the middle (hard to explain what it is).
Waitresses were nice, were able to offer a few suggestions, but rotis always take the cake for me so I went in that direction. I know this sounds weird, but I judge service based on how often my water glass is empty. Even though there were other tables, she made her rounds regularly and wouldn'tcha know it, I did not go thirsty lol
Definite recomend for new and old comers to Indian food
Well, I ended up telling my wife about my dinner at Currys, and convinced her to try some. Quick summary: we were both very satisfied
We decided to go all out this time and order the Maharani Feast (it was the mild one - my wife is a picky eater when it comes to spices). We both loved the combinations that came with the dinner. My advice if you are ordering this is to come hungry, It really does come with a lot of food, and its all very filling.
There's something about the butter chicken here that just makes it stand out over the other couple of restaurants I have tried it from. Very rich taste, and it does not disappoint. The bhona gosht was also super flavorful, and we both enjoyed every last bite of it.
The Sag aloo and naan really stood out in my mind though. I liked the butter chicken better, but the fact that I hate spinach and found the sag aloo really tasty is a wonder to me. Not a morsel of food remained. As for the naan, I have a bad review on this site that there is not a proper oven so it is not proper naan. I'm going to have to call shenanigans on this; the naan was absolutely amazing. Very filling, the spices where perfect and the consistency was far above the standards of other Indian restaurants I have been to. It really was a great surprise.
Regarding the service and the atmosphere, spot on once again. I love the attention and care we get from our server; we had a new one this time but she walked us through the menu and made some recommendations just like the last time I was there.
At this rate, I'm probably going to have to make Currys my mainstay restaraunt.
All I have to say is WOW. I must confess that I have been to only a few other Indian restaurants in London, and unfortunately some pretty bad experiences completely turned me off from the Indian food scene. After some friends badgered me into trying out Currys, I am so pleased with the entire experience.
The food was out of this world. We all split some appetizers, and they were the most amazing Bhaji I have ever tried, and the samosas tasted outstanding, nice and crispy on the outside. The butter chicken was so flavorful and pleasing, I was downright shocked that I bothered eating at a few other places before this.
The staff was super pleasant. The place seemed about half full when we ate, but the waitress paid constant attention to us, and was so helpful in suggesting menu choices.
Portion size was great, I did not walk away from the table feeling hungry. Getting the butter chicken with the rice-pilao was very filling, it was nice having the rice absorb the butter sauce so well.
I am DEFINITELY coming back to this restaurant, and am looking forward to posting reviews on whatever else I order.
Nice decor and interior design that reflects a small restaurant fine dining environment.
We went on a slow night (Sunday) so service was not an issue at all. Due to the scale of operation it probably is a better experience for small partys.
We ordered the combination for 2 package. The samosas had the best texture I've tasted in Ontario (Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton). It was nice to have a selection of spice levels to choose for the entrees. The naan was different from other tandori oven prepared ones but I enjoyed the softer taste. The entrees dishes were good in portion. Would have preferred more Lamb but the sauce to meat ration is consistent with most Indian restaurants.
Worst Indian food I've had ever.
Chicken Tandori-- Texture was aweful, not sure it was even chicken. Tasteless, no spices, and was simply hot, which did not make things any better.
Rice was overcooked and mushy, claim to be basmati, but doubt it, as grain was too long for basmati.
Service took forever, and seemed the owner was looking over the staff's shoulders.
I am Canadian, I dated an indian lady for 5 years, and have visited several Indian resturants across Canada, UAE, US; by no means was this Indian.
Only thing good was the pleasent waitress.
We returned to Curry’s (118 Wellington Rd., London) because we’d secured two thirty dollar gift certificates through a group buying program. The restaurant had been our escape from the blandness of middle-American cuisine one year ago; we’d driven north from Mexico to London Ontario and Curry’s had satiated our spice-deprived palates upon our return.
With gift certificates in hand, we arrived at 6:30pm on New Year’s Eve. We had managed to secure reservations for four, but it was obvious upon our arrival that we’d snagged the last slot on the hostess’ dance card that evening. Ordering is a dance there, thankfully, and the serving ladies are uniformly and yet uniquely beautiful dance partners. The interior is a comfortable mix of verdant accent plants, heavily-woven fabrics and resplendent Indian artworks in reds, yellows, golds and striking blacks. The whole place feels very much like a warded, removed patch of Indian soil nestled in the Canadian hinterland. It is a pleasant escape from the dominate motif for Indian restaurants in London, many of which hail from an earlier era of “Indian/Canadian dinner/diner fusion,” replete with Formica buffet-bars, chromed accents and booths upholstered in leatherette.
As we were celebrating the new years with vegetarians, we made a resolution to restrict our ordering to the vegetarian options on the menu. Having sampled their fine meat dishes before, and understanding that the true mastery of their cooking lies in the complex curry flavour profiles they develop, the resolution was not a chore to keep.
As the night was a bit of a celebration, we opened with two starters and a salad. The Onion Bhaji ($4.75) appeared as six dark, golden-brown spheres of crunchy onion sweetness in a matrix of chickpea batter. They were accompanied by a thin and refreshing cilantro sauce, and had the least interesting flavour of any of the foods we ordered, probably because the oil used to fry them had seen so many orders already on that busy night, and so overwhelmed the subtle taste of the bhajis themselves. Thankfully, the Banana Pakora ($4.75), with their more delicate spiced coating, were cooked in a different oil and so presented as six ¼ slices of banana perfectly deep fired in crispy, spicy chickpea sheathes. They were also accompanied by a small metal cup of the cilantro sauce. All the serving and eating ware in the restaurant is stainless steel, which lends a real hint of authenticity to the presentation.
As a salad course alongside the appetizers we enjoyed a Bhell Puri ($9.95). Consisting of cold cooked potato, tomato, onions, fresh coriander, puffed rice and basen sticks, it is perfect for clearing the mouth of any memory of the flavours and textures encountered in the openers, and preparing the belly for the onrush of powerful curries to follow. It is dressed with Curry’s unique tamarind dressing, which ties the tastes and crunches of the varied ingredients together into a satisfyingly piquant sweetness.
Knowing that we planned to order a fine selection of different curry entrees for sharing, we saved the waitress a little effort by ordering the sides to accompany them first. Four Nan ($2.95 each); one plain, three garlic, as per our diners’ desires. Also, one mushroom rice ($4.95), one vegetable rice ($4.95), as well as a condiment platter ($4.95) which consisted of mango chutney, diced garnish vegetables, riata, more cilantro sauce and not quite enough spicy mixed pickle. All of this was well prepared, although the rice was a little softer than it needed to be.
When it comes to the main dishes, Curry’s offers patrons the choice of mild, medium or spicy preparations, in recognition of the fact that much of their custom comes from the tony WASP upper side of London. This is where young socialite hipsters drag their doddering trust fund managers to introduce them to a taste of the exotic east. As three of our party can’t resit the heat, we opted to order thee dishes medium and two of the
Went to this restaurant with a bunch of people from our church for our Pastor's birthday. Our Pastor says it's one of his favourite places. Well, even though they knew a large group was coming, they certainly were not well prepared for us. Most of us arrived at the scheduled 7pm and there were about 30 of us in total. There were 7 of us at our table and we were seated first but, had our orders taken last. Believe it or not, some of us did not get our main entree till 9pm!!!!!! My partner had to go to work so, one of the people at our table got up and asked if they could get our order ASAP. Well, about 20 minutes later it FINALLY came...... but, just 1 order. I had to wait another few minutes for mine! Needless to say, we had to shovel down our food.... which tasted ok but, was a smaller amount than we expected for $10. Also, their fruit flavoured yougurt shakes were in very small glasses and cost $3.50 each! A friend at another table told me that they got their food late too... because they forgot to put the order in. Plus, when they did bring the food, it was the wrong orders! Then, when it came time to pay our bill, we had to wait in line for almost 10 minutes. We might visit this place again on our own someday but, I kind of doubt it.
Went here after returning from 3 months in mexico and then driving through the USA where food is TOO BLAND. Got back to London and needed some serious spice. Went to Curry's and got exactly what we needed. Hostess was beautiful, prompt and knowledgeable about the cuisine, which helps. Banana Paorka was a nice start (after the free caraway papadam) - obviously cooked in fresh oil and served nice and hot. Garlic nan is well made in the traditional style, if a little small for the price. Matar Paneer was great, big chinks of cheese done just right, Lamb Rogan Josh was creamy and spicy, and for a third entre we had some corn/lentil/capsicum dish that balanced off the other two flavours. Asked the server for mango chutney and garlic pickle - they didn't have garlic pickle but brought us chutny and spicy pickle instead. It's all good. Ordered Gulab Jamin for desert and it was well made if a little cold when it arrived. More than enough food - we packed up a nice meal for the next day when we left. In future will go with a larger party (6 or so) and try one of the set feasts that occupy the first portion of the menu.

Very good, authentic food. Price was reasonable, there were several good options, and the food was freshly-cooked. The service was a bit slow, and the decor is a bit lacking, but I liked the food a lot. Not the bland stuff that other restaurants serve to attract unadventurous types.
Overall it was lovely. Love the atmosphere. Service was a little slow, but I suspect that they prepare their food with great care. It was a little pricey in comparison to other Indian restaurants I've been to, but good portion sizes. The paneer was nice-- sweet and spicy. Salad was really fresh. The appetizers were a little overcooked, but the banana pakora was delicious. I'd definitely have it again. Delicious chai, too.
I don't know what others are talking about becasue this is the best Indian restaurant in town, the food is always soooo tasty and we have never been dissapointed and the price is very reasonable. I highly reccommend it!

This was our 3rd visit. Very disappointing. The waitress seemed like she was new. Didn't offer to fill our water glasses (water was warm). My husband had the Mulagatawny soup and the Tandoori chicken salad, both of which I tasted and neither one of us could eat it. Both dishes were very bitter. We have both eaten Indian food in the past for years and have never had such bad food! I would definely NOT recommend this reataurant any more!

We had a gift $25 certificate that we bought on ebay for $5, and we are conoisseurs of Indian food, so we decided to try Curry's. Food is average and priced higher than Indian food we can get in Guelph, Etobicoke, or Brampton.
Buttery fried flat bread (poori/bhatura) was quite tasty and mango lassi (yogourt shake) was fantastic. Apricot chicken was kind of plain and didn't seem authentically Indian to us, though perhaps that was never the claim. Shrimp roti, which we brought home, was plain with a strange sauce and we didn't finish it. Shrimp with mango was likewise plain, but perhaps it was dominaed by the mango lassi. I believe we ordered things medium-hot, but should have ordered hot-hot to get more flavour.
Service was friendly and ambiance, with Indian music and decor, was quite nice. We came at around 130PM and had the place virtually to ourselves, sitting in a corner by the window. The server was friendly, though we were surprised to see her eating McDonalds food that was brought in.
The bottom line: an intimate and quiet restaurant to have a nice afternoon lunch with decent Indian food, but be prepared to shell out a decent chunk of change.
