CURRY CORNER Indian Eatery & Bar

Food had the potential to be really great. It was disappointing that none of our dishes were served hot, let alone — warm. I’ve always had Indian food with steam served to me and the temperature of the food was so disappointing and made me second guess the quality. The service was outrageously unprofessional. I am under the impression that it was extremely busy tonight, but that does not justify the rushed and lack of hospitality. Our server greeted us with water and immediately expected us to know our order right as we were seated. We didn’t even get to flip over the menu. By the time we were finishing dinner, getting the check was no problem. Halfway through a bite of our meal, our server placed the card reader right in front of our faces. It was extremely disrupting and it was very clear that he wanted us in and out. Needless to say, I believe that this place has the potential that it portrays, but the staff could really use the proper training of service etiquette. I hope management can improve the service because the food is great!! But it makes a difference when customers aren’t being rushed out of their meals.

Curry Corner has some of the best food in Minneapolis. Not only is it delicious, excellent quality, and consistent but it's also a great value. Staff is friendly and I enjoy chatting with them everytime I go. Get the Tandoori Chicken(medium spice) Samosa Chaat and the Lamb Naan. You will be very very happy.

We stumbled upon this place while walking around and had to try it even though we weren’t really “hungry” since I’ve seen it a few times on social media. We sat on the street patio and were greeted quickly by our friendly server who checked on us often. We tried the panipuri, little shells filled with potatoes, chick peas and spices that you pour a herb flavored water into and pop into your mouth. I wasn’t ready for the explosion in my mouth 😂 but I really enjoyed them. We also tried the lamb Samosas, they were served with a delicious green sauce that enhanced the delicious treat. A pomegranate gin fizz was the perfect drink to go with both. We’ll be back with a bigger appetite another time so we can try more.

Great Indian food that's affordable. Generous portions that always leaves me taking home leftovers. I would suggest getting mango lassi drinks, the lamb samosas appetizer, the Gobi Manchurian appetizer, and the Tandoori Chicken entree. Venue has comfy booths. No parking lots, so just paid street parking or parking garages nearby. You might want to do your research on what parking garages have the cheapest rates. I would also advise not to park at Fire Barn Ramp (Parking garage) next to Curry Corner. They charge $13 for just 1.5 hours on a Monday evening.

Staff was friendly and courteous. Portions were more than enough and service was fast. Food was hot and flavorful. We had a wonderful time and will return frequently.

Had takeout with friends, they were very busy but still got our order done quickly. My partner and I split the paneer tiki masala. We ordered hot but it was not that spicy which is fine because my partner and I have different tolerance for spice but we were both happy. We got a decent amount of curry with lots of rice which was great. I had an order of vegetable samosa, they were large, tasted pretty good, the crust was well fried. We had some chutney with it, both were fairly tasty. We had garlic naan, it was very soft and well cooked. Might have ordered more of we ate in, splitting an order of curry was not as filling as I hoped. Overall good experience, next time would love to eat in. Parking out front on street, was fairly quick in and out experience.

If you are looking for a restaurant that is staple In Minneapolis look no further. Curry corner is one of my all time favorites, after visiting recently with friends we couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more. The service was phenomenal, the food was unmatched, and the restaurant atmosphere was amazing. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

I truly wish I hadn’t gone there. This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the cutlery to the food to the service, everything was disappointing. The plates brought to our table were not properly cleaned. Not just mine, but for everyone at the table. We asked for replacements, but the new plates were also unclean. Eventually, we had to wipe them ourselves with wet tissues. When I placed the order, it took exactly 38 minutes for the food to arrive, and even then, the full order wasn’t brought out. We waited another 20 minutes before I had to ask the server again. The remaining items were then brought separately in different dishes. The food itself was unacceptable. It wasn’t hot. The biryani was hard and clumped together. The only dish we actually enjoyed was the chickpea curry. The lamb kebab had a strong smell and tasted undercooked. The chicken tandoori was clearly undercooked and had a raw, unpleasant odor. Despite the poor quality, the prices were high. The service was equally disappointing, I had to repeatedly ask the servers to refill my soda. The third time I asked, the server responded with an unsolicited health comment saying soda isn’t good for me. I paid for a fountain drink, not for personal advice. There were four of us, and the total bill came to $134.10. At the end, I asked to speak with the owner, Sukhdeep. The server questioned why and initially didn’t inform him. Only after requesting assistance from another staff member, who was helpful, was he sent to our table. I explained all the concerns directly to him. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I’m sharing my honest experience, whether you choose to spend your money there is up to you.

We went to Curry Corner for dinner on a Sunday night very shortly after they opened. It wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately! We got the Lamb Samosas, Mango Chicken Curry, and Beef Vindaloo with Garlic Naan on the side. Everything was delicious. The only feedback I have is that we ordered it "Hot" and I couldn't really taste any heat. I will say that I'm very used to spice, but went on the cautious side as Indian restaurants can have extreme varying spice levels. If you're highly accustomed to spice I would say go at least one level above hot. The restaurant was cute and nicely decorated. Service was quick, for two people who eat a bit quickly we were in and out in less than 45 minutes. We'll definitely be stopping back in whenever we're in the neighborhood.

Got some take out from here the other night, came for the famous Butter Chicken Samosas (which are on the online menu but not the physical menus in the restaurant) but throughly enjoyed everything we got. The space itself is very charming with beautiful wood finishings and they have seating and offer water while you look over the menu and wait for your order. In addition to the samosas we got Gobi Manchurian, Chicken Mango Coconut Curry (medium), Garlic Naan, and Chicken Tikka Masala (medium). Everything was delicious, the medium was pretty mild so next time I would go for hot I think. The gobi manchurian was the star of the show for me, managed to still have a crunch even after being warm in a takeout container for a while. Will absolutely be back, definitely excited to try more of the menu!

Finally got to stop by and grab lunch!! I've been to events here before and got to try quite a few dishes they have to offer. The flavors are so vibrant!! I love spices so Indian food is definitely a must. I'd say my favorite dishes are the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. They do let you pick a spice level. I like it a bit spicy but even just regular, it's so good!! I always get garlic naan on the side as well. They recently added butter chicken samosas to the menu, comes with 3 sauces. SO GOOD!! Love the unique twist on the drinks. Service is always top tier!! Definitely check them out!!

Stopped in for a quick lunch with some coworkers since I hadn't been to the space since it was Ginger Hop. Not much has changed and it's still a cozy spot with decently spaced booths and a bar. It was pretty empty when we went but the service was pretty slow. According to my friend that's not normal, though. Food-wise I got the Kadai Tofu and some roti. The tofu was solid but nothing amazing. It was bright but the main flavor was "tomato", which was a bummer. That seemed to be the case with all the dishes, though. The second-hottest spice was a barely noticeable "black pepper" level.. The roti was also "not bad". I tried some naan from a shared plate and that was also ok, but relatively bland. I'd give it another shot since my coworker really likes them but I probably wouldn't go unless someone else specifically wanted to go here. There are just too many good options in the area to settle for "ok".

Their naan is probably my favorite in the Twin Cities. Ate inside and they have lots of indoor seating (and maybe a patio in the summer? Looks like it, would be so nice). Service was super nice, though a little slow but that's ok. Tried their malai kofta and that was very yummy, nice and saucy.

Delicious tiki masala and butter chicken! 3 spice level was still mild, so don't be timid if you like a spice! Would recommend the naan platter to soak up the sauces, and it's a great value!

My favorite Indian food in the city! The workers are so sweet and the food is consistently great every time. The restaurant is cozy and a great environment to spend time with friends. I usually get the chicken shahi korma.

Curry Corner is a decent spot if you are looking for Indian food. I have been here four times now and each visit has been good enough to keep me coming back. The place is usually pretty open and it is in a convenient location. The staff has always been kind and service has been consistently good. The prices feel a little high for what you get, but that seems pretty common in the Midwest where there are not as many South Asian options, so places can charge a bit more. One thing I have noticed is that the food is not very spicy. I grew up eating South Asian cuisine and really enjoy heat, and even when I ask for the highest spice level it still tastes pretty mild to me, which is a bit disappointing. I usually stick with the beef or goat dishes since those are my personal favorites, and the options there have been solid. I also really liked the lamb naan the last time I went and would definitely recommend trying it. I have not tried any of the desserts yet, but I plan to at some point. It is a pretty good spot and one I will keep going back to.

We stumbled upon this place while walking around and had to try it even though we weren't really "hungry" since I've seen it a few times on social media. We sat on the street patio and were greeted quickly by our friendly server who checked on us often. We tried the panipuri, little shells filled with potatoes, chick peas and spices that you pour a herb flavored water into and pop into your mouth.

A pomegranate gin fizz was the perfect drink to go with both. We'll be back with a bigger appetite another time so we can try more.

Heard from friends what a great restaurant this is. Gives back to the community in a big way.

We visited after seeing the Curry Corner pop up on social media a few times. The flavors packed a punch! Bold flavors with spice (which we loved). Between the two of us adults, we had a full meal as well as leftovers of the entrees. The Honey Chili Potato was a sweet and spicy sauce over fries and vegetables. The Chicken Biryani gave us the flavorful, granulated rice and aromatics. The Chicken Malabar was creamy, almost sweet and savory, and paired beautifully with the white rice and naan.

Seated at the bar and then largely ignored the rest of the time. I had a wave down a server to take my order. Wave down a server to ask for my check. Wave down a server to ask for to-go boxes. The to-go containers they brought didn't fit all of my leftovers. At that point I just gave up and left them behind. It was more exhausting than necessary.

Love love love this place and what keeps me coming back is their mango lassi drinks!!! Not sure why but they serve the best mango lassi drinks I've been able to find. Garlic naan, beef tikka masala, beef butter chicken and a few mango lassis are my go-to order. The folks here are very warm and welcoming and overall a great experience. Love that they open late on the weekends because for folks like me in the west metro, everything is usually closed at by 8pm :( So driving here is always a win-win for me :) Street parking is probably your best bet as it's nestled between busy streets and ongoing construction. Don't sleep on their bar service as well. Love that you can get a heart meal and end the night with a glass of wine.

best curry in all of minneapolis! i loved how much this restaurant is a part of the community, too! please visit them

Curry Corner, cute little place in the heart of northeast Minneapolis. Was in the neighborhood and heard good things so decided to give them a try! Went during lunch on a Tuesday and it was pretty empty. Space was open, clean, and vibey. Service was quick and servers were attentive. We ordered some appetizers, chicken pakora and vegetable samosas. The chicken was a bit dry for our liking but with the sauces it helped a lot! The vegetable samosas were good but could've used a tad bit more salt or flavor. Something about them was missing, but I'd order again. We got one beef makhani and one chicken makhani. Same with those dishes, they were fine but felt like something was missing. Naan was pretty on point. Overall review: Food is good but not over the top. Service is prompt and they were pleasant. Price isn't too wild, I believe I paid $66 after tip for everything. There is construction currently so parking is a bit tricky, but northeast is tiny in that area so not a far walk. If you're in the area and craving Indian, I think it's worth checking out!

Went to Curry Corner for the first time tonight for their Wednesday Date Night Special. 2 drinks, an appetizer, 2 entrees, and a dessert for $75. We thought it was a good deal and wanted to check the place out. The food was ok but the price for the "date night special" is extremely overpriced. We were majorly overcharged. The $75 date night special was a value of only $58. I have included the prices of the items from the menu in one of the pictures below. With taxes and tip tonight we paid $98 for only $58 worth of items. Please make this right Curry Corner, and in the meantime I highly recommend to everyone else to not get the "date night special" and to stick to the regular menu. **edited to say that they called me and actually refunded the meal, which was very nice and professional of them. I'm adding a star back for the professional customer service.**

I love curry! My goal is to try all of the restaurants in Minneapolis, Saint Paul area that make curry! Today was Curry Corners opportunity to let me see what they can do! The lamb curry I ordered was tender and juicy! The spices came together well.The curry sauce could have used more salt, otherwise the cardamom allspice, Garam masala and turmeric are perfectly blended.The basmati rice was cooked, nice and fluffy.The garlic naan in my opinion was the star,baked to perfection in the tandoor oven. I was served quickly. My food came out within 12 minutes. They have a nice bar area! Parking however is tricky as East Hennepin is busy. I'll be back to try something else Curry Corner,take care for now!

Mmmm. I dream about their mango coconut curry. This place is top notch! Servers were so kind. Drinks were wonderful but the star of the show is their curry. If you're looking for an Indian curry place that will cater to your Minnesota spice palette, this is your place. I look forward to the day that I can eat here again!

Went on Christmas and it was delicious. It was my boyfriend's first time eating Indian and he gobbled it up, just like I do every time. He has dairy restrictions and the server was really helpful letting him know what dishes he could have. It was really busy and probably a little short staffed so things took a little bit, but I thought they did a great job. Edit to add: I had chicken tikka masala which is always my go-to Indian dish. And for the life of me, even after looking at menu I can't remember what he had, but it didn't have cream. Also has garlic naan and you can never go wrong with that!

The Lamb vindaloo was great , the right spice The right portions of potato/lamb The sauce wasn't too watery or to thick and mushy Garlic naan was crispy and thin Rice was very fluffy and good The potatoes were awesome, wish there were a bit crispier . The waiter was great, I was never out of coke or water , told him what I wanted for dessert from the beginning and he brought it right after I was done eating . Restrooms were very clean , the floors weren't sticky or wet, the booth I was in didn't have left over crumbs or napkins. Very nice and classy place with great food and service.

Visited with friends this week. Great little place in NE, plenty of parking options. Our food was delicious, service great. This has become a favorite place.

I was surprised at how good this place is considering its location. Authentic nd tasty. Quick service too and very cute ambiance. Love that they had seating outside !! And with music. Wow !

Ordered delivery. Best Indian food I have had in the cities! My saag was amazing and the chutney that comes with the samosas are perfect!

The three of us were able to walk in on a Sunday evening without a reservation and were seated right away. Street parking was easy to find. Our waiter wasn't overly kind but he was there when we needed him and all our orders were correct. I'm not sure why but I had very high expectations of this place and they fell a bit flat. The food was alright, no strong complaints but it didn't give me that flavor that I was craving and looking for. They gave me a lot of meat with my curry which is always appreciated (it is never fun when they short you on that). My partner felt sick afterwards so he avoided finishing his leftovers - but as always, hard to tell if that was the restaurant or something else.

Good sized takeout portions and yummy food! I ordered the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. In my opinion it's good and the flavor was there, but at the price point it wouldn't be my first go-to spot.

This place has decent food. It's hot, and looks fresh, but don't be deceived. The food is definitely not fresh. In fact I think it's really old. I ordered the malai kofta here, and the kofta was rubbery. It was hard and I struggled to cut it. Also, all the food was lacking salt. From the naans, to the curries, everything was saltless. To soothe my taste buds, I decided to order a mango lassi, but that didn't work, because the mango lassi was bitter and not sweet at all. So overall the place wasn't horrible. If you're nearby and you have nothing else to eat, this may be an option, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. Even the service was mediocre. The only reason I'm not giving this place a two star is because of the layout. The restaurant was organized really nicely. It had beautiful pictures and paintings all around, giving off a nice vibe. I came with very high expectations but ended up being very disappointed. Hope this helps!

Great local Indian spot! The food was really delicious and our server was super helpful in helping us understand the spice levels. I only have two complaints 1) The service was a little slow (took a while to get water and have them refilled) and 2) The music was pretty loud, which made conversation a little difficult. Other than those two small complaints, I definitely recommend this place! I know I'll be back!

Curry Corner in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis offers all your standard North Indian dishes with nice ambiance. Like almost every other Indian restaurant I've ever been to that has a bar, the bar had no patrons and was used for storing takeout orders. That's something they need to work on. I got one of those takeout orders. The vegetable samosa ($6) was perfectly fine but didn't blow me away. The dal of the day ($12) seemed to be a standard dal tadka and tasted good, albeit a tad salty. The channa masala ($12) was forgettable. The vegetable mango coconut curry ($14) was far too sweet from what I suspect was canned mango (a staple in India, albeit sugared, ruining the natural sweetness of the mango). Curry Corner doesn't label its vegan options nor does it offer anything particularly interesting or unusual. I'd probably return for a drink and a samosa but if you want better North Indian food, check out Hyderabad Grill in Fridley or India House in St. Paul. Gorkha Palace a couple blocks away is also wonderful, though it's Nepalese and not Indian.

Love this spot for a quick meal. The coconut curry with chicken was fabulous, I'm not sure how they cook the chicken but it's mouthwateringly juicy. The lamb samosas were also delicious. The service is acceptable, nothing to get excited about but everyone was very nice and food came out hot and quick. Check it out if you're looking for a quick casual meal.

One would think that a new restaurant would have growing pains, not here! First and foremost was the service- they wanted us to have the best meal possible. The best service we have had in a long time. Not to mention the amazing food! We started with the lamb samosas which were stuffed with lamb and came with 2 amazing sauces. For the main, we split the Chicken Tikka Masala which had big chunks of chicken and Garlic naan to mop up the amazing sauce. Cute patio in the summers, no reservations needed, and street parking is ample. Can't wait to go back!

the chicken tikka was awesome! Also, mango lasse drink was a nice sweet complement to the spicy-mild entree. Service was very good, quiet inside on a Wednesday but noisy & dusty outside due to construction on E. Hennepin ave.

Love this place. Try to stop when we are driving between Portland and Seattle. The food is delicious and the service friendly and helpful. Last time we were there, they had switched over to take-out only so we just ate in the car. And they were nice enough to let us use their bathroom. We just waited in our car and they brought our food out to us.

Not only is the food incredible, but the staff at Curry Corner are the kindest humans. Truly my favorite restaurant in the twin cities!

Curry Corner is in the fun and popular northeast part of Minneapolis which I love to frequent! Parking is always a little challenging just because of how many things are going on in this area. I loved how this restaurant had large private booths that made it easy to hear conversations and enjoy my meal. The waiter was very kind and conversational. He even gave us a free extra rice to go which was totally above and beyond. I thought the food was definitely made for a western palate and could've had more depth of flavor. Next time I'd probably ask them to make it a bit spicier! My favorite dish was the gobi Manchurian:) I thought it was a great appetizer and was a great mix of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Great food at reasonable prices! The naan is homemade and fluffy! The order was done quickly and we were able to enjoy it for longer! Definitely going back!

We absolutely love this place! The owner, staff and food is always amazing! They go above and beyond in customer service. We have never ordered something that wasn't great!

I recently got takeout at Curry Corner in Minneapolis. I ordered the chicken marsala and butter chicken. I also got a side of naan. The meal was very flavorful and not too spicy. The chicken marsala has more of a kick to it- But it is the perfect hint of spice. The only problem I had with this establishment is we were given one wrong item. It is pictured as the green tofu item below. The workers were very nice and I was surprised to have a mixup in my order. Beware of the parking as it is on a busy street. prices are what you would expect from a local restaurant- everything below for $40. Overall, solid restaurant for some Indian Food in Minneapolis!

Really well priced and large portions. The drinks are pretty strong as well. So much naan!!

This is a great place to go for traditional Indian cuisine. The ambience is nice ans features a variety of seating- booths, tables, bar, and high tops. The garlic naan and chicken tikka masala were stellar. Our server was helpful and kind.

Great food & service! Our family love the Indian street food options - pani puri and vada pav!

This spot is located at a convenient area in northeast Minneapolis, but you may have to pay for parking. I liked the ambience of the spot, it is pretty laid-back, great lighting, and the service is pretty good. The only reason for four stars is the food was good but it didn't exactly wow us. We ordered the curry, naan bread and then I ordered A traditional mango drink. The curry was good but it wasn't amazing, it lacked a little bit of flavor but the naan bread was amazing. If you go definitely get the cheese filled naan bread but you can't go wrong with the regular naan bread as well. I definitely want to come back here and give it another chance and try other items but for now if you are looking for a quick and easy curry spot at a reasonable price, I would recommend the spot but just know that it's good but it's not amazing.

I was craving Indian food at work & decided to order for take-out & give this place a try -- SO DELICIOUS. I went a little crazy & i'm so glad I did! I got the Makhani (Butter) Chicken, Chicken Biryani, Garlic Naan & Raita-Yogurt & everything was piping hot when I picked it up, it wasn't too spendy & it was ready pretty quick! Highly recommend :)

So yummy amazing food. Get the sag paneer. Beautiful tasty naan. Service was great! Sat outside and enjoyed the patio on the quiet part of a busy area. Good beer selection. the na yogurt based drinks are amazing

Went to Curry Corner on a Sunday evening and had a wonderful time! Server was kind, super quick (the restaurant was pretty empty though), and helpful when I asked for recommendations. Ordered the Gobi Manchurian, Butter Chicken Paneer Naan. Food was delicious and had plenty leftover to take home.

Good, not great and overhyped for my taste. I love Indian food, it's one of my favorite cuisines and I'm always on the lookout for something new and yummy to try. When I saw the rave reviews, I was compelled to try this place. I ordered from Uber eats and tried the lamb samosas, garlic naan, chicken Josh, chicken makhani (butter chicken), baingan bharta eggplant, kheer and a mango lassi. Let's start with the good. The mango lassi was delicious and portion size was generous. The eggplant was pretty good and everything else was just average....not bad, but not great either. The dishes just seemed to be missing the depth of flavor I've come to expect when eating fabulous Indian food. The samosas were the worst. Before this experience, I've never met a samosa I didn't love. How can one not like deep fried goodness like a samosa with yummy chutney and mint sauce? This one was dry, had a weird flavor and my husband and I chucked both of ours in the garbage after one bite. I paid extra to add cauliflower to both dishes. We got, literally, 2 small pieces in each dish...wish I were exaggerating but I'm unfortunately not. So I'd skip that option. Given there are other, more succulent options if you're craving Indian food, I'd say consider other places. If you're not too discerning about Indian food, it will probably meet your expectations.

This was pur first time trying Curry Corner and we were not disappointed! We got the Tikka Masala and the classic Butter Chicken with some Garlic Naan. The rice pot they have us was huge so they definitely don't skimp! Our butter chucken came loaded with huge chunks of chicken. The naan was huge and the perfect size for one person. Their portions are great as well as the food. Our only complaint is that the food wasn't as spicy as we had hoped. We got their spiciest option, but it was still very much mild. However, you can request the hotChicken Tikka MasalaChicken Tikka Masala sauce on the side to make the dishes spicier. Overall, the service was great and dishes we tried were all very tasty. Definitely will be coming back!

Great vegetarian food, amazing service! The owner is the chef, this place is a must to check out.

Great new spot in NE! We were warmly greeted when we came in and had excellent service the whole time. We started with the tamarind margarita which was fresh and had a unique flavor. Our server recommended the Gobi Manchurian as an app. They were little crispy cauliflower bites in an amazing sauce and were SO good. I would go back just for these. He also recommended the Vindaloo as an entree and it came with rice. Both dishes had a kick to them so I'm glad we didn't get them too spicy! We also got a garlic naan to share which was good but not one of the best I've had. I like it with more butter and garlic Will definitely be back or order takeout!

Was excited to have an Indian restaurant a block from my new apartment. I only wish the flavors lived up to my excitement. Both mains (Chicken Makhani and something else) were quite bland. They just lacked flavor. I would possibly give them a second chance if there wasn't a better option in the neighborhood.
