Curry boys (DTLA)

This is a very cute little place in downtown Los Angeles that they're serving Indian food. The inside decor was pretty relaxed and cool. I think they have put some authentic stuff to showcase the vibe of India. The food was okay I got buffet with two Curry and naan and rice. The food was okay. The price I think was slightly higher than the quality of food that they were serving but then again I've been doing the buffet time.

I absolutely LOVE THIS place! The food is amazing, the people who work here are super friendly and knowledgeable. They let me sample the curry sauces before i made my choice, and walked me through the spice levels to find one that i was able to handle. If you are looking for great tasting food do yourself a favor and stop by if you are in the downtown la area.❤️

- authentic Indian food - good spice levels - Dahi Papadi Chaat: liked the fact that they don't sweeten the Dahi, and deliver a great balance of spice and sweetness with the chutney toppings. Good portion size! - Veggie Biryani: the pudina raita stole the show, is super delicious and has a spicy afternote from the black pepper powder. The Biryani itself is delicious and is prepared dum-style (a mix of white rice, masala and veggies). Is flavourful and leaves behind a spicy aftertaste Overall, super authentic and delicious Indian food in LA !

The best Indian food I've had in the US. Paneer tikka masala was excellent. Kourma was fine, but I've never liked it so might be biased. Dal of all things was exceptional. Will definitely recommend.

The man there is exceptionally great at customer service.He Offered samples before I made my selections, and the taste was simple, just like home-cooked. I was almost the last customer; he made sure I left fully satisfied. While the garlic naan was a bit thick, I gulped the entire meal box satisfying. The atmosphere was simple, not too loud, and the food spoke volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Also, do not worry about the timings. He is almost open for another 35-40 mins after 10 Pm. I've seen him taking in more customers after me.The outside street didn't feel safe; that's the only thing that bothered me to walk to the restaurant from my hotel.

Walked in at 8:15 on a Sunday because it was open and didn’t know what to expect. The food was great. I’m not very familiar with Indian food but it was delicious. The staff was helpful in giving some samples before ordering and the atmosphere was kick back. Definitely would go here again and definitely would recommend this place to anyone.

Good, fast Indian food. Reasonably priced. Generous portions. Nice atmosphere. Friendly owners. I ordered a combo with potatoes and lentils. It came with rice and garlic naan. The naan was fresh and garlicky. The lentils were fragrant and flavorful and the potatoes had a good amount of heat. There were plenty of tables and the lighting was good. A great addition to the neighborhood!

My experience was great over here. Curry Boys just opened! They're getting ready To Spice up the Neighborhood with Curry Flavors that'll make you want to try More! We were welcomed by the Owners Son who is a Chef. He invited us to many samples of all he had to offer. My favorite was the Lentils 🥰🥰🥰 There were so many flavors it blew my mind. Comes with a choice of 1, 2, or 3 entrées. The Samosa's - potato or chicken These babies have are Packed full of flavor!! Crispy bite with a delightful center! I tried Mango 🥭 Lassi! Nice and thick Mango flavor you drink with a Boba straw minus the Boba 🤗😉 This was my 1st time drinking this. It was a treat for me! I will buy again. ❤️ Naan- Naan or Garlic Naan We tried Garlic. It was 100% so great to have fresh made garlic Naan to the table . I recommend eating in and eating these babies Toasty and served hot! Goes perfect with the Curry & lentils i tried. The Steamed Rice was oh so good. Im not a fan of mushy rice. This was cooked to perfection! Listen guys they're still Getting the place together & totally Creating a Cool hip environment for everyone to Eat & be Merry at! Lots of seating here. This is good for luncheons or friends & family gatherings. The restaurant was clean, prices aren't bad for what they're serving! And service is friendly. They're still adding New things to the menu so please be patient! *no parking. there is separate parking next door with a fee. *wheel chair accessible Welcome Curry Boys to Downtown L.A!! Thank you for giving us great food and more to come on the Menu!!

I was really sad after my previous favorite indian spot moved to pasadena and struggled to find a place I liked as much... Then I found CURRY BOYS! I do Uber Eats and Doordash deliveries and got this pickup location once and quickly came back to try it out. I cant speak on any of the chicken/meat curries but the daal is to die for along with all the other veggie curries. Fast, affordable, delicious. Plus the manager/owner guy is always so nice and welcoming. I remember when I first started coming here he would let me try the curries to help decide what I wanted/liked. Really happy this place exists. Thank you always !

Curry Boys is a solid restaurant to get quick Indian food near the corner of S. Spring St. and 5th St. We took the B Line to Pershing Square Station, which has an exit on S. Hill St. and 5th St. It was a short walk since the restaurant was only two blocks down. I do recommend walking with a buddy if you don't feel comfortable walking by yourself in Downtown, especially on 5th St. To order, you tell the cashier which item(s) you want at the front. They have different à la carte dishes, but they didn't label them. The restaurant charged a grand total of $14.32 for a one-item combo with plain naan bread. I got the chicken curry, which was nicely braised, flavorful, and moderately spicy. It met my threshold in terms of spice level. I regret not getting the garlic naan bread, which cost an extra $1. The plain naan bread had an adequate texture but needed that extra flavor. After we ordered, we waited until they brought the food to our table. There wasn't enough chicken curry at the front, so they had to prepare more before giving me my food. The ambience of the restaurant was fine for counter service food. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this part of Downtown had convenient Indian food.

Curry Boys is a casual Indian spot in DTLA with a decent amount of seating. I ordered a two entree plate which came with both fresh naan and basmati rice. Overall, I liked my food but wished that there was more chicken and paneer in each of my entrees as it was mostly curry. I really liked the texture of their naan because it was slightly chewier than other spots and had a similar texture to a scallion pancake. What I liked about this spot the most was how friendly the man helping me was and it appeared that he knew several of the customers, which I can see being a major perk if you're a regular/adds a community feeling.

Ordered food for take out. Tandoori chicken was pretty bland. Palak paneer was average as well. Ambience is typical with TV playing glaring music. Better options in the neighborhood if you look around.

This place was bombay all the way!!! Stumble on it for lunch one day to try them out. Ordered the chicken tiki masala and garlic naan! This place is my new fav Indian spot! It is mos def recommended! I'll be bak!

Great service, big personalities. Great food y'all! The Paneer tikka masala was delicious and fresh! The restaurant has a nice laid back chill vibe. The meat or paneer could have more in it, it's got a lot of wonderful gravy though

Delicious indian curry in the middle of downtown. They have spicy curry which we never got the name and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken tikka masala was just ok. Their masala fries were also just ok. If you like spicy food, ask them about it. They allow you to sample any of their dishes before committing. This place has a decent amount of seating but I believe most people pick up to go. It's not a sit down restaurant, you go up to the counter (like panda express) and the food is displayed for you to choose from. Overall, it's definitely a great deal if you're looking for a cheap good meal.

My rather large son sure likes his hindi-slop! The kind employees were very willing to cook up 8 chicken tiki my salsas for my pig of a son, sweet! They even play some classic Indian hits, reminds me of my home country! The interior is up to par. My wife was disappointed that they didn't play her favorite song (Mundian To Bach Ke), but she says the food makes up for it! Classic wife, LOL! Carrot, OUT!

Ambiance: it's a very spacious Indian food place located in DTLA, high ceiling, clean and bright Service: the staff is very friendly and patient with questions Food: precooked and ready to eat selection from the trays Mango Chicken - *** sweet taste Curry Goat - **** flavorful and spicy, recommend Chicken Tikka Masala - *** light taste Plain Naan - **** crunchy, recommend Price: decent portions and affordable prices, about $15~$20 per person for a fulfilling meal

Indian Curry take-out. You will get what you expect you'd get. Exchange your typical Hong Kong Express to Banaglore Express and you got yourself some delicious quick to be made curry. you're paying 15.99 for rice and to sets of curry for a quick meal that you're taking out. Can't say its the healthiest but quick and hits the spot

Since gaining some edible knowledge from the many visits to kamal palace in Long Beach. I assumed that Curry Boys in Downtown Los Angeles would offer the same Indian cuisines that I've become accustomed to and are my straight go to choices. Although not like the other place I mentioned, Curry Boys is a nice little spot to eat at if you ever have a hankering for Indian cuisines. The selection isn't huge, it's not like a buffet or anything like that but there are several choices to choose from. As always my go to's are the lamb and chicken. Both were very favorable and had the right amount of spice to not overwhelm you. My brother also had the same, oh and naan bread, holy crap was that ever d-e-l-I-c-I-o-u-s. With just enough garlic seasoning to bring out its yumminess and reminding us all on why we love it. The seating area inside is open and spacious. The interiors coloring is very appealing and it's not overwhelmed with pictures or anything like that which at times can take away its look. If you live in the area they do offer delivery I believe, I'm just not sure of how far they deliver to. And the real treat is the Curry Boys is right around the corner from The last American bookstore and the farmers market on fifth street which is on Sundays I believe. There is no dedicated park g lot for Curry Boys but there is a parking structure that's caddy corner to it. Overall I enjoyed Curry boys and will be back again in the future. It's a nice little establishment in downtown Los Angeles in an area that looks to be on the rise. Oh I almost forgot there is a menu of other food items as-well and since I totally spaced on ordering gulab jamun (Indian milk doughnuts)) so if you ever find yourself heading into Curry Boys, please don't forget to get yourself an order of those tasty little treats z you won't be disappointed And finally Curry Boys is small staffed and everyone that I encountered were all amazing so I'm pretty sure you won't get any attitude here and if you do get attitude maybe you should take a look in the mirror and what the hell did you do. This is my own personal review of Curry Boys. Just because I had a great experience doesn't mean you'll have the same. All experiences will vary from patron to patron. So enjoy yourself.

Very yummy food and they're so accommodating. Amazing people! Very thoughtful and sweet staff.

The paneer tikka curry is goood! I'm not an experienced eater of Indian food but I've had my fair share and I can't say what I had today was anything less than delicious. :) Nice person helped me too!

This is a good place for Indian food when you don't want full service and paying high prices. The cashier was very nice and patient while one of us picked out veggie options and I went with my favorite Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic naan. I love the colorful murals on the wall which add a nice bright touch to the interior.

We were killing time in LA before a concert and passed this restaurant on our way to somewhere else. We had to step inside, it smelled too good to resist! We were greeted warmly, served quickly, and enjoyed the atmosphere at the restaurant. The paintings, music, and dancing were beautiful. We ordered the chicken Tikka BBQ to try something new, and of course naan. It was DELICIOUS. The food was spicy, but in only good ways. The chicken was so tender, and was served alongside onions in the same sauce. It is about half onion and half chicken, so do be aware of that when ordering. Took the attached picture as well, cause we were a little surprised!

This was my first time trying this place out and the food was delicious. I ordered Chicken tikka marsala with rice and naan bread. No wait time since it is express Indian food but everything tasted fresh and was at the right temperature. I'm looking forward to try something else next time.

Bless your heart Curry Boys. I work downtown, and this is my go to when I need some lunch. My husband doesn't like Indian so I go here to get my fix. I usually order the tikka masala, chicken korma, or black pepper chicken. Today I finally decided to treat myself and try the lamb curry (extra $4) and it was delicious with tender meat. I have not tasted anything I didn't like here. As long as the flavor and prices stay the same I'll keep ordering from here.

I've always seen the place whenever I walk by and I just tried it recently. I wish I would've gone sooner, because this has definitely become my new go to Indian restaurant. When I first walked in, it was empty, except for the two gentlemen behind the counter. The music in the place really added to the experience, and the customer service was great! I got a 2 item bowl, with rice, lamb curry, and their chicken tikka masala. It comes with your choice of naan. I ended up getting the Garlic naan, and added on two veggie samosas. I want to start of by saying that the place was empty when I walked in, and I have no idea why! The service was quick and pleasant, and the food was amazing! The star of the show was definitely the lamb curry- spicy, flavorful, and the lamb was so tender. Next came the chicken tikka masala, which never disappoints but their chicken was also super tender and the sauce was amazing. (The garlic naan came in super handy in getting all the sauce!) The veggie samosas were a delight! Overall, the experience was great, the food was delectable, and I will definitely be going back again!

Got the two item combo-with the lamb curry and the chicken tikka masala! We got the garlic naan upgrade which costed a little more (but was so worth it-it came out fresh and hot!). It came with rice with peas mixed in it (my friend did not get any peas though, so I shared with him). The service was great, the area surrounding it though is definitely sketch-bring a friend or two (preferably male) if you're a female! There's a homeless crisis in downtown atm-we kept hearing glass shattering behind us as we walked haha.

The lunch special is prefect and small portions are best to taste a little bit of every thing and make sure you get the simosas. Best Indian food so far

Los angeles never disappoints with low quality indian food. Things ordered - tikka masala, paneer pakoda, kulche cholle...and best part was... side onions! Rest everything was so so so substandard! Wont order again!

It was lunch time and I have nothing packed, the tummy was grumbling and all I had that morning was a protein bar. I heard some people in our office talking about great Indian food so that kind of perked my interest... Indian Food it is! I have had some pretty good luck ordering some delicious Indian Food through Uber Eats but this time through the power of my handy dandy yelp app, I scrolled and read reviews prior to ordering. Curry Boys seems to have quite a following, not to mention awesome reviews! So for my lunch, I ordered; The Garlic Naan, Chicken Clove ( a curry boys exclusive apparently) and an order of chicken samosa which I took home to share with Pops! The Chicken Clove was cooked to perfection and delicious! I love the perfect balance of flavors even with a spice as potent as clove! The golden amber sauce was so yummy and delicious especially drizzled on top of the Basmati Rice that came with it, I absolutely enjoyed it! The Garlic Naan was also a hit! Baked/Toasted to perfection with just the right amount of "garlic-ness" not strong enough to scare Dracula or the person right next to you with garlic breath but good enough to enjoy the lovely flavor of garlic on a nicely toasted naan! it was fantastic! Overall, I was pretty satisfied with my first order from the Curry boys, and for sure this won't be the last! Cheers!

Went in not expecting much but was honestly blown away. The place is modern and clean and staff was very nice, but the quality and prices set it apart. Got a 3 Item Combo with Chicken Curry, Chicken Clove, Chicken Tikka Masala that came with rice and naan for $16! And it was super fresh and tasted amazing, thought I would have leftovers but was too good not to eat fresh! Will definitely be back.

Great spot to visit. The food is consistent and cheap, the service is excellent, and the restaurant offers a very casual vibe. They're definitely worth checking out!

Curry Boys is a hidden gem in DTLA! The moment you walk in, you smell the aroma of all the curry being served. They have multiple combo plates, which is perfect so you can try as many entrees as possible. I got the chicken tikka masala, goat curry, and garlic naan. All were delicious! I also tried the black pepper chicken which I will be getting a full serving of next time! I'd love to come by again and try everything!!! I definitely see myself coming here regularly (which I hear a lot of my friends have been doing.)

Really delightful service, I loved the black pepper chicken and the clove curry was delicious and unique. The naan was absolutely perfect, I'm excited to order from Curry Boys again

We had walked by this place before but didn't think much of it. On our way to Grand Central Market, saw a bunch of our coworkers had gone there so we popped in. They raved about the food, so we came back! We got to sample a few items - I tried the Pepper Chicken which was amazing! I also got the Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan. My coworker and I were tempted to try the Masala fries but knew we'd be in for it if we did, so we said we'd come back for it. We were going to bring our food back to our desk but it smelled so good. We ate it there and it was pretty tasty. The Pepper Chicken was very flavorful and delicious. The chicken tikka was good but just okay, compared to the pepper chicken. My coworker got the lentils and the channa masala. She loved the lentils and felt similar to the masala as I did. Naan was on point and the rice was tasty. Overall a very fulfilling lunch at a great price! The owner was super nice and really showed how much he care for the business and what he put forth! Definitely coming back!!

Amazing food. Great service Nice location great to hang out with friends . Recommend

Great value and good food. Where else can you order a two-item combo with lamb spinach, chicken korma, rice, and regular naan for about $14 in downtown LA? The curries were medium spicy with good flavors. The lamb pieces were chunky, but I would've liked it more had it also been tender. The korma wasn't as creamy as I typically like, but it still was tasty. Not my favorite Indian spot, but I would go back to try more entrees.

Warm and comforting meal! Had the butter chicken and lamb curry with garlic naan. Definitely coming back.

Food was amazing, the place was great too. I love the people and their energy. The service was the great! The location is perfect if you are in the area. You need to go

One of the best places to eat in DTLA. The price is right, and the food is to die for. The workers are incredibly warm and inviting. You have to get the naan, mango lassi, and Chana masala. This place is our new local favorite. A must try (and must return)!

This place was downright perfect. Since I like everything, I asked the owner, Dream, to select three dishes for me. She chose chicken korma, matar paneer, and potatoes and peas. They were all an A+, and the garlic naan is a must. I also had a milkshake (begins with an F, is similar to rose water flavor) and it threw it over the edge. It's a super cute, clean, and homey ambiance, and was super fast. I am back in town for a few days and it's the first place I'm going for dinner.

They have the most amazing food choices, the vegan food options are really good too and I'm not even vegan lol. I highly recommend recommend. The mango lassi also hits too ! Highly suggest!

The food was so good I didn't have time to take a pic! My whole family enjoyed our meals. Even the 7yo liked the Lamb. 10/10 for us.

Samosa and Chai combo for $5.99. Will go back to try the whole menu asap. The people were friendly and I love the vibe here it is a cool aesthetic.

I absolutely LOVE THIS place! The food is amazing, the people who work here are super friendly and knowledgeable. They let me sample the curry sauces before i made my choice, and walked me through the spice levels to find one that i was able to handle. If you are looking for great tasting food do yourself a favor and stop by if you are in the downtown la area.

Ordered on DoorDash. Within minutes they called to let us know they are out of an item and quickly suggested other popular items. I'm not a fan of Indian food UNTIL TODAY. My girlfriend was craving it and we made the order. I'm honestly not sure what we got but it was full of flavor. We were full shortly after. Definitely recommend. We will order again. She, along with these amazing flavors have changed my mind. 10 stars. The naan bread was fluffy and fresh. Please please please do yourself a favor and try this place. So many restaurants in Los Angeles that should not even exist, this one however, should have multiple locations.

Very glad this place opened in my area! When we first came in they offered us a ton of free samples to try all of their curries, which was super nice! And all of them were so delicious! Our favorite is Chicken Tikka Masala and Pepper chicken. Will keep coming back because of delicious food, good price and great service :)

Excellent!! Super service and the food is authentic and delicious. The menu boasts a delightful fusion of traditional and innovative flavors, each dish bursting with authentic spices. Every curry is a testament to expert craftsmanship. The naan bread is freshly baked and complements the curries perfectly.

When I walked in the owner was serving a gentleman ahead of me, based on how this guy was salivating at the window I knew I was in store for a treat. I was able to find street parking on Spring Street but the owner mentioned if you find a spot out front you can park there temporarily as you grab your food to go. I went in thinking I would just order the one item combo with curry chicken and rice, however the owner saw my eyes widen at the various Northern Indian delicacies. He offered me the option to sample the chicken korma, black pepper chicken, and Chana masala. I had proclaimed to him I wasn't a fan of garbanzo beans and he said but have you tried my Chana masala with my grandmothers secret recipe? How could one resist an offer such as is? I'm soooo glad I took him up, I devoured the sample of the Chana masala and quickly changed my order to the two item combo with the chicken korma and Chana masala. When I sampled the chicken korma he proclaimed he had a fresh batch coming up and if I wanted that he would serve me the fresh batch. The combos are also served with rice and naan. I upgraded to the garlic naan and it was freshly prepared. Overall the service was exceptional while the Chana masala and chicken korma had my mouth doing pirouettes of joy. After I left I ran into someone walking their dog and they asked what I had just ordered and I proudly told him to go try Curry Boys. I'll definitely be back and I'm going to look up if they offer catering as well.

So the last time I went, I ordered what I always do, which is the two item combo with a garlic naan and a drink. I always get fruit punch. Sadly, I won't be back. Yes, the staff is great. I have no issues with the friendliness of the staff, but the chicken tikka masala had a big bone in it with two or three tiny pieces of chicken in a ton of sauce. I don't think the spinach was spinach. I really don't. It had no texture. It was like a runny green sauce with two pieces of cheese in it. The naan was fine. The rice was a typical portion of rice. Maybe costs are getting too expensive, but I paid almost $20 and I left and was not full. Going to Hollywood now for my Indian sit down.

Unfortunately didn't find it very good. Sauce was watery and the chicken was tough. Was so hoping it would be good. Will try other items in the future.

If you're looking for flavor downtown this is it. Food is always fresh the service is great and everything is so full of flavor amazing choice for a meal downtown

Lamb curry bowl caught me off guard, extremely spicy. Couldn't eat it. I like this place though because it has authentic painting.

The food is so gooood! The chicken is no dry at all very juicy and flavorful. I got the 1 item bowl. Which comes with 1 curry and rice. I got their chicken tikka masala. Definitely recommend! They also have vegetarian options as well. I ordered the veggie samosas. Which are made to order! So they super hot when you get them. The service is great, the gentleman at the register let me try all their curries before I decided. I would recommend this to any one who wants delicious lunch. The inside the restaurant is very clean!

This place is excellent for being a "fast food" type Indian restaurant. The service is 10/10, they are always over the top kind and will let you sample different curries before purchasing. The vibe is what it is, fast food type but clean:) Loved the chicken tikka, lamb curry and chicken curry. Honestly everything looks really good, they also have wraps which I've never seen before so im excited to try next time. Really good mango and rose lassi. Definitely recommend

Oh man! I don't think I'd ever live to find the perfect curry stop. This place is super delicious and the sauce is THE sauce. The chicken is grilled before it's cooked and it is absolute magic. The rice is also cooked perfectly. If you can hold yourself back from eating it all, then dream of the perfect leftovers for life. Don't forget the pickled mangoooooooooo. And the lady who runs the shop is super nice and chill - puts up with dumb dumb drunks in a kind manner.

I loved this Restaurant. Its very authentic! The food is sooo good! The establishment is also soo clean, which I loved. They treat me with care everytime I come. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone else!!
