Curry Corner

This place is horrible, where do I begin? My boyfriend and I went here on a whim because we love Indian food and did NOT check the reviews prior. We came in and were sat at a sticky dirty table. We then had to wait about 15 minutes for someone to come out and greet us and take our orders…. The waiter wasn’t rude or anything just a bit slow paced and it was only downhill from there. The food we order was an absolute insult to the Indian cuisine and culture, to call it “Indian food” is embarrassing to say the least. The chicken tikki masala was runny tomato soup and canned chicken. The butter chicken had the same soup like consistency and had absolutely no flavor. When we complained the waiter said “yea I don’t recommend that on our menu it’s not very good” OK THEN WHY WOULD YOU SERVE IT??? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. Foul and disgusting, stay far away from this establishment. It is not worth your money or your taste buds.

First time visiting. We walked in, there were two tables occupied and all the rest were dirty except one. We sat down at the one clean table. The employee who greeted us handed us 2 menus and proceeded to tell us that they are out of all of their fountain drinks and chai tea because the owners are out of the country and they weren't prepared. The food was really good. We ordered: Chicken Tikka Masala, basmati rice, garlic naan, and cheese naan. The menus could use a good cleaning and the light bulb in the woman's bathroom needed replacing.

Now I understand why Diners, drive in and dives featured Curry Corner. Tucked away in a shopping strip and easy to pass up without even noticing UNTIL you've been here. You won't pass it up a 2nd time. Excellent food and very authentic. No frills, not crazy ambiance, no alcohol, just damn good food for a great price and LOTS of it. We had the garlic Nan, cheese Nan, chicken pakora, Sizzles plate and curry chicken. Way too much for 2 people but it was our 1st time and have enough leftovers for 2 days. Excellent flavors and proteins were all so tender and juicy yet perfectly seasoned. Had to try the Mango Lassi as well... I prefer mine cold so I added a little ice and perfect. If this is your pallette then you're going to love this place. Guy wasn't lying... flavortown indeed..

This place is extremely affordable and the food is filling. Great place for Pakistani food and super close to campus. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi which was great. The chicken was nice and tender while the sauce was creamy. Will say that I felt it wasn't salty enough, which is fine. The Tikka masala fries are amazing. The fries themselves were coated in this delicious seasoning and covered with some goat cheese and white sauce. Definitely a must try. Also had their mango and strawberry lassi.

My girlfriends and I vary first Indian cuisine! Bottom line 10/10 definitely recommend! My experience: Walked in and the restaurant is vary nice and cool, relaxing environment, lights are perfect brightness. Was greeted and I asked if I could sample the curry (my first curry ever) The lady brought out a little bowl and it had some chicken and curry sauce ( chicken makhani) It's absolutely amazing, sauce is a Little on the spicy side (2/5) Chicken was perfect, nice and tender and just fell apart. Ended up ordering the same dish with Rice and garlic bread and a strawberry lassie. Main dish was perfect and you definitely get full of that alone.10/10 Rice- nice and fluffy long grain white style rice definitely will get again. 10/10 Bread-(forgot the name) is a garlic bread and it reminds me of a pita style, nice and firm but not too dense.10/10 Strawberry lassi - this definitely got me by surprise thinking it was going to be and tea type or juice, but this was a smooth yogurt like smoothy, 10/10 Mango lassi-thick mango smoothie, definitely different, thicker then the strawberry by far 10/10 Desserts(only 2) Kheer-this dish is nice and warm, curdy like texture with sliced almonds. A little curemy give this is not something I personally would pick up if I didn't know what it is, but it's good I'd rate it 8/10 Halwa-a hot dish. This reminds me of coco-wheats, but it's not coco, but it has that same texture, but instead of creamy or loose it's clumped up and is pretty good. I personally rate the Kheer higher then this.but it's still worth trying 8/10

Very good food at an affordable price. we were actually going to go to a different restaurant but this place caught our eyes so we pulled a U-turn and pulled into the curry corner. Very flavorful and definitely recommending to everybody I know. I will definitely be coming back.

The food is # 1 in Phoenix Area. Not sure why it has a 4 star rating. I have eaten a few restaurants in this area and hands down this is the best food and the prices are very reasonable. Guy Fieri rated visited this place. This place has won best of Phoenix awards a few times

I always love coming to Curry Corner. BUT tonight, I got my regular Chicken Tikka Masala and it was not cooked right…more soupy then thick and the chicken was in way bigger chunks then it usually is. Like I said I always come here and have never been so disappointed then I am tonight with my food. And mind you, Indian food isn’t cheap so I feel like it was a waste of my money honestly. At least the garlic naan is always on point! 😂😂

Have tried this place few years before after watching guy's show from Food network, it was good but wasn't delicious Did not feel like going back and I have never been there after one visit. Good food for once. Not the kind of one that pushes you to go back again.

Worst curry I've had. Orderer lamb curry, it was some kind of warted down bland soup, the lamb tasted like pork. Not even the naan bread tasted good. I wont be returning.

Super good quality food and super delicious. I did take out so not sure about the service or ambiance, I do wish I asked for more spice. Definitely come try this place out!

I went in with high expectations because I'd heard so many good things about Curry Corner, but unfortunately it was just an okay experience. I dined-in on a Saturday around lunch time and there was only one other group there so we were instructed to seat ourselves. I ordered the chicken makhani and naan and while the food came pretty quickly, the service was just okay. Our server forgot some of the naan when our food was brought out so we had to ask for it a second time. I found the curry to be overall lacking in flavor though the naan and rice were both good. I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, although there was unfortunately nothing in particular that stood out and would make me want to dine here again.

Husband and I tried this for the first time and will definitely be back. We ordered the garlic naan, samosa chat, beef kabob with biryani rice and chicken tikka Masada. Everything was cooked to order and very delicious. Staff was very friendly and had good customer service. Make sure to bring cash for tip only.

Traveling for work and my co-worker suggested we try Curry Corner as it has been featured on Guy Fieri's show. We love to find new and unique places so we walked on down. The atmosphere was very simple, quite, and empty to a point. We saw a lot of people come in for take out, but few dining in. The service was slow, very slow. It took some time to order, but once we did the food took a very long time to come out to the table. My personal feeling was to go orders were being filled prior to the tables. The Chicken Makhani was good and I enjoyed the meal though it is not something I would order again. The other dish we got was Chicken Rajisthani and it really packed a punch. There was so much flavor, it was delicious! Along with our main dishes we ordered the Garlic Naan, it was hot, fresh and very good! I could've used a second order of it!

Found this local Tempe hot spot, huge lover of Indian food, let's check it out and see if the food is as good as the pictures, food was amazing, will come back for sure!!!

Always on point, unique flavors and good prices. The Thali plates are the hidden gems for sure.

Loved loved loved this place! My hubby and I went for lunch on a weekend and had the best meal. We shared the tikka masala fries, they were good, very flavorful. I got the chicken makhani for lunch and he got the goat curry. We loved our meals and cannot wait to go back.

Service: 5/5 the lady that was working was nice and quick with everything I appreciate her service outstanding!! Food: 5/5 Chicken tikka Marsala:5/5 The food was amazing I wonder why people don't rave about curry corner enough but it's ok this my little spot til it blows up Ambiance: nice intimate dark setting great for date nights 5/5

I have not been back to Curry Corner for several years since my first visit. I am not sure why. We stopped by on Saturday after 12 pm and there were not many people yet. The service was good and the food arrived fast. Once we finished our lunch, this place was getting pack with dine-in customers and takeout customers. All four curries that we got were so delicious and full of flavor. Chicken was juicy and tender. They made the simple dal lentil curry so specifically good. Karahi chicken curry was so memorable and I could not stop enjoying it. Paratha bread was my favorite. It is lightly fried but still soft and not too oily. I want to visit their chai corner next door for some chai or lassi.

I have always enjoyed the vegetarian options here. The food is always solid and even though I do not live close by I try to stop in when I am back in the area.

I was a bad boy, I did it take photos of the food, it smelt amazing and just wanted to dive in. So meet some friends here last night, I love Indian food. When I arrived the place was packed, there was a large group from ASU there. The service was a little slow because of the large group, our group of four didn't mind it as it gave us time to chat. I had the Veg-Thali with garlic naan the only let down was the rice. Is you order the meat Thali you get different rice that was amazing. But everything else was very good. I like spicy food but ordered my food medium. It was perfect. The level of heat and flavor was excellent, this was my first time have Pakistan food, and I'll return.

Service was slow and ambience was a little basic but I have to say I was impressed by the food! I got the non-veg thali for $13 with garlic naan which I believe is an upcharge on top of that. Still a great value with a good amount of food. It comes with two chicken curries (I loved the Makhani!), daal, yogurt sauce, pickled onions and rice. The middle curry was tasty too but there were lots of bones in it. Still I enjoyed it. Many reviews talk about the flavorless and watery curries but I have to say my experience with the two curries I tried was positive! All in all, pretty great for an inexpensive casual Indian joint.

The food here is always amazing, especially their Thalis. My favorite is the Non-Vegetarian Thali paired with Garlic Naan. I took my niece there recently and started off by sharing an order of Pea and Potato Samosas. Perfectly crisp with a delicious sauce for dipping. We both had the Thalis and were extremely happy. I will say that the place looks like it's falling apart with a giant hole in the ceiling. In addition, the soda and ice machine were inoperable. At $13 for the super generous Thali plates, it is a great deal.

Ordered take out here and the food is really good and authentic, one of the best food spots in Tempe!

I can't belive all these years I've been coming here I never did a review. Well this is one of my favorite curry place.. Many different varieties and meat choices.. The Tika masala fries and tandoori wings are yummy. But the wings one of my fav dish there... Sooooo yummy. I haven't had a dish here I didn't like.. But be prewarned.. Service sucks I guess at least they are consistent...

The food and service here is amazing. The pakora and Aloo Tikki are so tasty. The entrees I ordered, the chicken makhani and tandoori chicken wings also very good. Proportions are also perfect. I would highly recommend to friends and family. I will be coming back

(Note): It says the meat is halal but as one of my friends asked for any certificate to show they order it the waitress couldn't do so. Also there were plenty of drawings along the hallway of idols & deities as well as Indian religious songs playing so I find it a bit hard to believe this place serves halal. Just a note for those who might be strict on that diet. We came in and were seated and the only customers in entire restaurant at 2:30 pm..... not a good sign. Nonetheless continued on to order. Got their chicken tikka leg n thigh and mango lassi along with a couple of beef kabobs. Service was quick and friendly albeit a bit too quick... took them less than 3 minutes to bring out my leg n thigh tandoori.... world record tandoor cooking time I thought..... yea not quite.... The chicken had a very strong odor once I bit into it so it seems it was old chicken which they microwaved or put in the oven a couple of minutes then served it. No worries let me take a sip of the mango lassi to wash out the taste of old socks from the chicken..... wrong again....super sour taste and bubbly as if the yogurt had fermented or gone bad. Ended up throwing that away aftet two sips. The bread was very good I must say and the beef kabob was decent. Samosas are also fairly good. The only sad part in eating at any restaurant where you don't see many customers during what should be lunch or dinner time.... is that you will get old food and that is exactly what I paid for unfortunately. Just a warning to the regular customers... please don't hesitate to return your food if it smells foul or tastes musty.

Service was nice and quick. This place was so nice and cozy. Cute little hidden spot. Food was delicious. Flavors were not as strong as I expected them to be, everything was quite mild. I got the Tiki Masala with rice and naan. I also got the mango drink which was super thick and delicious.

Got the thandoori meal, it had more onions then meat unfortunately. The flavor was excellent and tasted great but was a little disappointing in the Santorum of meat.

BEWARE! Chicken korma is not chicken korma. Chicken Korma is supposed to be sweet and creamy, a bit nutty in taste. But this straight up taste like chicken curry. It's not creamy or sweet at all. It's very waterey and looks/tastes like it was drowned in chili oil.

It took me years to enjoy Indian food until coming to Curry Corner. I'm now absolutely obsessed with their food and have been eaten here 5+ times now. Whenever I come, it's always busy - but probably because it's just so good!! I've only had good service here. This is the best Indian food in Arizona (IMO).

The food is always delicious. They have a wide variety of vegetarian options and the spice is on point! Highly recommend!

Take out only. Not very spicy, even when I order "spicy" or "5/5". Tastes fresh, though, and the man at the register is always nice!

This is our first time being at the Quri corner with our kids and we absolutely love it. We ordered the burgers chicken tikka masala with noan and it was Very authentic and delicious. Also, the servers were amazing very kind, respectful and really helpful with placing order. Specially, with the little ones and what is not spicy. The Kashmiri chai was just amazing. Lastly, the ambience is really great as it's not blasting music. Definitely we will be back God willing.

Tried this spot today and I was a little disappointed. I got the Chicken Tika Masala and the Palak Panner . They were really bland considering the Indian food I've had in the past . The Samosa was very good and huge . Probably won't go back until I hear the food has changed.

I was debating whether I should get some Indian food at The Dhaba or Curry Corner and chose the latter. Overall, I thought it was okay, but I would probably try out other nearby restaurants serving Indian food first before I decide to come back. MY ORDER x1 Tikka Masala Fries x2 Garlic Naan x1 Nehari TIKKA MASALA FRIES: ($6.5) The masala tasted good with plenty of cheese on top. Makes for a tasty salty, greasy and filling snack. My only qualm is that the fries had gone soft with all of the sauce on top and underneath it. GARLIC NAAN: ($3 x 2) I've always been a fan of naan with it's mild sweetness and good chew, and while the naan here was average and a bit doughy, it fulfilled my cravings for naan. 1 order of naan gives you 2 medium sized pieces of naan that have been cut in half. NEHARI: ($14) This one is tough for me to rate as I wasn't a big fan of the flavor of the stew. At the same time, this is the the first time I've had Nehari and this could be what Nehari is supposed to taste like. I CAN say that while the beef did not melt in my mouth, it was quite tender. Because the Nehari could have been spot on for what it is, I'm rating 3 overall stars instead of 2 ENVIRONMENT: slightly dim lighting and dated tables detract from the otherwise modern looking interior TIPS: - it is in a shopping center with a parking lot CONS: - naan was sub-par

What a gem in Tempe! I'm from NY, so I am always looking for authentic diverse food that is packed with flavor. Curry Corner does not disappoint. They offer some of the top Indian dishes including samosas, pakora, masala and biryani. The food was delicious! The goat meat was soo tender. Everything had great spices and flavor. The service was quick. And the atmosphere is simple and quaint. I will definitely be back. There is so much more I'd like to try!

Tried calling multiple times to ask about an order. No answer. Terrible customer service. Finally got ahold of them after all the calls and it's already been picked up.

Can't go wrong, great food, great service, always hot and fresh. Tandoori wings are unreal. Every dish I've tried so far has been delicious and I'm planning on trying everything on the menu. Deserves to be much busier. Easy 5 stars.

I've been coming here for a long time now and I'm so happy that they have been consistent over the years. Lots of good options on the menu but if I have to recommend one particular item for first timers, it would be the chicken tikka masala and a side order of garlic bread. So much flavor is packed in the sauce that you're guaranteed true happiness. Service is fast and the restaurant is clean!

Came in last night 8/6/23 and to be honest I've way better Chicken tikka masala off of lunch trucks this was not good watered down Glup, the mixed bbq was to have veggies it had nothing but dried out bbq chicken pieces and some kind of dried up mealy sausage thing that was inedible.. the pakora was cold soggy like how long as this sat around it's 110 degrees how do you serve cold fried food, they where terrible. I'm being nice with two stars. I would never go back..

Decent food, simple but quiet ambiance, very reasonable prices. They have vegetarian (and halal meat) entrees and the server assured me that they clean the pans so it's not cross contaminated with meat. Their fried foods however are fried in the same oil as meat. I ordered the palak paneer with garlic naan. The naan was hot, fresh, and melt in your mouth kind of soft, as was the paneer. The palak (spinach) itself was a little basic and didn't have much flavor. Seems like it could work well for someone who can't tolerate much spice. Service was slow but it might be a nice spot to go with friends if you have the time to hang there for a while and you're not super starving right away. The place didn't feel packed but was at 50% capacity on a random Monday night. It was nice to be able to have a conversation and hear each other unlike some places that can be very loud.

Chicken Jafrezi, tandoori chicken and garlic naan is to die for! I had to be in Tempe yesterday and, although I had food to cook at home, I wanted to support a local favorite small business and thought immediately of Curry Corner! It was my good fortune that they were open so I offered Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Jalfrezi. It was so amazing and fragrant, even packed in tidy packages. I could barely wait to get it home. I The meals were delicious with plenty to save for later today. Great restaurant and excellent for take out during COVID-19.

These guys have the best Nihari, Naan, Mixed Grill, Achari chicken, Karahi koshat and chicken tikka masala. The naan bread melts in the mouth and is scrumptious!!! The tikka masala fries are delicious!!! The only thing that needs improved is the uncomfortable seating arrangements on the booths!! They need to be updated. We love to eat at the restaurant, but it is uncomfortable to sit their and eat on the booths as they will hurt your bottom

I have only eaten here once but that will probably be it. This place is average....It's good. Nothing stood out as far as Indian/Pakistani food as far as flavor. It's weird to me because chandler and Tempe has a pretty large Indian and Pakistani community but not many great Indian or Pakistani food places. I feel most places are becoming complacent and putting out average at best food but Indian and Pakistani food could be great...popping with flavors. Oh well, my search for great Indian or Pakistani food continues.

I wish I could give Curry Corner more than 5 stars. Not kidding, I go here so frequently that I have the number saved in my phone. I regularly order take away from Curry Corner and am so happy to find that it keeps hot until I get home. I normally order the Chicken Makhani, Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, Hara Masala Chicken, Traditional Curry, Curry Fries, and add a cheese naan with my order every time. When dining in, do not expect a fancy night out. This is a hole in the wall location and although it is very enjoyable for me and my friends/family, others may find it not up to their standards. It is very clean and the service is always delightful. This is a restaurant that everyone in the valley should experience. It is completely affordable (cheaper than some fast food orders) but I would pay double just to keep eating here. And with that, I need to go place my Friday night order!

I've never really has to much indian foo but this was so GUUUUUD!! So much flavor!!! Went two days in a row!!!!

The food was good! However I was halfway expecting to choose my spicy level and that was not an option here. Which is fine the food was good besides that. I'm giving it a 4 because halfway through dinner we started running out of drinks and they never got refilled. I wasn't too sure if we were supposed to go up ask for refills. We started with someone coming to take the order then they never came back until the food came out then no one came again. It was rather confusing.

Food was good. Service was amazing. Loved the vibe in the store. I've had other Indian restaurants it was pretty on par with them. But I can eat chicken tikka masala pretty much whenever.

Maybe more like a 3.5, but tough call. Food has good flavor, but we've had better for this type of food. Portion sizes are kinda small but the prices are decent on the menu for what we got. Checked our receipt and each entree was $1-2 more than the menu price. Don't know how this is allowed. Just like others said: random pricing which we aren't a fan of. Service was terrible. We were told booths are "for families" so I guess us 3 didn't count. Even though during our meal a couple sat in a booth with no issues. Took forever to take our order. Then never offered refills of water & soda until we were almost done eating. And that was a full 1.5 hours after originally sitting down. No way this place could be on DDD nowadays.

This is a fun spot for people who like Indian food and want to try something just a little different. It's a cozy space, full of warm colors and smells. While it's close to downtown Tempe, they have a parking lot that makes getting there easy. The menu can be a little overwhelming for those who know nothing about Indian or Pakistani food, but the staff are willing to help. My favorite thing I've ever had here was on a staff recommendation. Service can be a little slow sometimes but the price is right. Everything you order comes with basmati or naan. You'll probably need it to tamper the spice! Personally, I'm all about the garlic naan. I love spicy food but this place has made me cry so know that before you go! Their menu has less common options, incorporating some middle eastern dishes like Afghani boti. They also serve lamb and goat if you're looking for a different meat choice. I recommend trying their paneer - it's delicious!

Excellent Food. Especially the chicken Kabab & tikka masala. Couldn't find a better restaurant than this one for Pakistani cuisine.

New favorite spot. The goat is so tender in delicious. I come here twice a month now after a friend told me about this place. My favorite curry spot in town.

AMAZING!!!!! Incredible flavor depth!! Perfect amount of spice in each dish - the heat doesn't over power the flavor complexities. Samosas with the tamarind sauce are perfection!

Wow this place was delish! This was my first time eating Indian food and this was the closest place that popped up. No complaints from me though, everything was delicious. Everything sold here definitely packs some spice though so be prepared. Service was great; very kind staff. Lastly if I have to recommend anything its the hummus and garlic naan. Simply delicious.

Time dedicated to each plate. On the DDD episode, him showing the number of ingredients that goes in the lamb curry is more time than it takes to eat. Sometimes too much is too much. Not here. It's fire.

I've never had naan before that I didn't want to eat. This garlic naan tasted like rubber duckies that I might chew on as a toddler in dirty bathtub water. Butter chicken was slimy. Tasted like mild salt. Salt, just mild salt. Tikki masala was more spice than flavor. Basically bland masala. No, spicy ketchup. Where is the richness on this menu? My family with staple dishes. Not pleased.
