Curry Place

My family loves this place so much. The food is impeccable and so delicious, and now since I discovered their website to order, I love them even more because the food is so much cheaper than Door Dash, you earn points every time you order, and there is no extra fees, the tip goes straight to their community. My first order with their site I got 10 dollars off, today I saved almost 4 dollars which is almost the price of a naan bread. Our favorites are the butter chicken, garlic naan and chicken and cheese naan, or any of their combination rices. They are tasteful and prudent in seasoning and with their spices and do not overpower their dishes making it be too spicy like most Indian restaurants are accustomed to do, instead you get to enjoy and taste the flavorful dishes in layers, their food is so flavorful and always so incredibly fresh. oh yeah I also love their keer (rice pudding) for dessert and usually ask them to add cardamom on top, they are such an amazing restaurant and community, always so accommodating. I love them so much. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. They are our all time favorite.

We went for dinner. Indian Chinese dishes are too good. Momo is authentic and the chillie fish and mixed Hakka noodles were delicious. Special mention to the server who was extremely kind and recommended us the right items. He was very very warm. I highly recommend this place to all food lovers.

Enjoyed lunch on a Saturday soon after the doors opened. The waiters were attentive and inquiring about our preferences which made the entire experience top notch!! Will be back as the price was right and the food was delicious. I ordered off the menu while my friend ordered an off the menu dish.

Placed an order for pick up. I ordered samosas, lamb roganjosh, raita, and garlic naan. It came with white rice. The lamb roganjosh was delicious! Tender pieces of lamb bathed in a beautiful savory sauce. The raita (yogurt and cucumber sauce) provided a nice cooling contrast to the spice. The samosas were good but a little spicy for me. The only disappointment for me was the garlic naan. I remember it being different before. (I had not ordered from here in quite some time.) It was fluffy but a little soggy due to being wrapped in tin foil and not good as I remembered from before. But I still ate it! In all, it was a great meal! Although I took it to go, the restaurant is cute inside. One side has a few booths and the other part has tables. It's small but quaint. The walls are painted and have pictures hanging. I would definitely order the lamb roganjosh again! For those on the fence about lamb, it does not taste like typical lamb. It almost tastes more like beef, if that makes sense. Portion size is very good for the price, and there was a lot of lamb pieces.

Such a wonderful dining experience! The goat biryani was hands down the best I’ve ever had — the meat was soft and juicy, the rice was full of flavor, and the spices were perfectly balanced. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and put real care into their cooking. I’ll definitely be returning soon!”

It’s just ok…. Not worth the drive for me - would rather go to closer Indian restaurants The garlic naan was the best I’ve had so far All the other dishes were a bit of a let down. Chicken 65 didn’t have the right taste and was a little too sweet Lamb vindaloo was mostly spicy and didn’t have as much taste as it did spicyness, also not the softest lamb Butter paneer was pretty good Vegetable biryani was not good. I don’t like when biryani is wet but that’s my fault for ordering vegetable. It was spicy and didn’t have much of a flavor unfortunately Onion kulcha was a let down. It had white onions instead of red onions so the taste wasn’t there The place is fairly nice and staff are friendly. The floor was dangerously slippery though I feel like the flavor wasn’t really there overall but somehow I was a little thirsty after, as if the food was salty. I’m not sure Individual dish ratings out of 10 are below If this place is close to you it could be good for takeout depending on the dish

This place has the best curry chicken! They can even make it with dark meat! Loved it. I usually order takeouts, but their dine in experiences were pretty good too. I get to try Indian beer for the first time.

The food seems okay but almost always upsets my stomach. Me and my husband had the experience multiple times when we order from Doordash. Our go to dishes were Palak Paneer, Kadai Paneer, Aalu Gobhi and naan etc.

It's been 6 years since my last review and I'm still happy with curry place! Great food and they recently renovated their dining space if you are interested in eating there! #YelpMDburbs

Tuesday 9/3/2024 I made a takeout order and got the butter chicken $15, chicken curry $14, assorted platter $9, garlic naan $3.99, tandoori chicken $13.99, chicken mo mo $7.99. - The Butter chicken (aka my favorite Indian dish) was pretty decent but it's not really close to the best I've had. Also I wish I could've got a bit more Chicken. - The chicken curry was okay but also a bit underwhelming as it didn't have that strong curry taste & flavor that I was expecting (it was kind of bland). - The assorted platter comes with samosa, pakora, chicken tikka, and lamb kabob (sekuwa). * It was my first time having a samosa and I really enjoyed it (it's a pastry stuffed with potato & peas). * This was also my first time trying pakora and it was pretty decent. * The chicken tikka left me with a mixed feeling: the chicken itself was good but I don't really know what I'm supposed to expect from the "tikka". * The lamb kabob was decent and had a solid flavor profile. * Overall, the platter was very good based on the value and taste of the sampled items. - The garlic naan was pretty cold when I got it but after warming it up, it was solid. - The tandoori chicken comes with 6-7 pieces of small mixed legs & thighs. It's solid chicken but i expected more in terms of taste & flavor. - The chicken mo mos are Indian style dumplings and they were alright but nothing really impressive for me. Although I've had better, this was still a decent Indian food experience. I'd definitely recommend the assorted platter and butter chicken for all of the newcomers.

2023/2024: 7 goat curry bones + 1 small meat piece for to go, mid $20s. I had even naively tipped the younger female cashier several dollars, well before opening the container. I had to waste 30 minutes to return & show the nonsense served & asked them to please fix it. A tall older South Asian lady, who was dressed better than I would expect for someone actually cooking curry, came out of the rear kitchen & slowly walked to the front & returned to the kitchen, trying to hide her staring down the store's only customer, who dared to confront her kitchen's sketchy serving. Their 3 pieces added meat fix did not make up for their sketchiness, did not even make it worthwhile for the cost & hassle to begin with. I hope this restaurant's couple pieces of meat stinginess to me was financially worthwhile; every time I walk by over several years, there are no customers in there. 2Sep'25: I was contacted by the owner: "We are sorry to hear about your negative experience but you reviewed the wrong restaurant. We don't have any lady working here and no one returned the goat curry. Please kindly correct the review for the right restaurant. we are small business working hard to earn the business. we appreciate your cooperation. Thank you and have a good day!" I Did review the Correct restaurant. I waited quite a while to post this review as the weird older female stare down was memorable & I do not want to risk being retaliated against. This tall, thin-framed woman dressed in black may not have cooked the actual food but she certainly was in charge. I am not interested in any back & forth argument. ALL of what I wrote, happened.

Update. Today I ordered a veg momo, and they sent me a chicken momo. I know where I will not be ordering from again.

Excellent food, pleasant staff, convenient location; Curry Place has been my go-to for Indian food for years.

The sauce was thinner than anyone you'll meet at a rehab for people with eating disorders. The flavor was (probably) worse than what the aforementioned person tasted after purging. That is not an entirely fair comparison: the purging probably had some flavor. I digress...if you are interested in a mouthful of soupy sadness, I can recommend this restaurant. If you have embraced your tastebuds (or your happiness), look elsewhere.

The food at this restaurant is full of flavor and always fresh.I love the hakka noodles and jhol momo the most . The staff are kind and make you feel very welcome. The place is clean and has a nice, cozy vibe. I love eating here and will definitely come back again!

Service was great. Ordered for a pick up and was ready at the time they said it would be. It was steaming hot still after my 15min drive home. The cheese nan was delicious, fluffy, had a nice char. The rice portion is for a kid at best. They need to give a bigger cup. If I had not add nan I definitely would be hungry still. The chicken and sauce itself wasnt the best I had. Lacks seasons. This is me comparing to my go to place in Columbia MD called royal taj. That's real authentic cruisines. But this is good enough to get your fixing. It was $20 for all of this. Inside is fairly small even though I had a to go order. Just wanted to help those out who decide to dine in. They need more lighting, it's too dark in there.

Truly delicious, wholesome food and portions are quite adequate. Reminiscent of home-cooked, traditional food served with care, warmth and courtesy

this place is WAY over priced. its located in Germantown and charging $4 for 2 samosas and $2 for paan that's literally the size of a quarter. The food is mediocre but the prices are too high. you might as well go to Miajis Rumali restaurant on clopper. it's the same price but the food is better.

My whole review is based on biryani. This is where my love of biryani began. I thought I left a review years ago, but I didn't, so here's one now. Back in early 2020, when everything was takeout. I started trying out cuisines I wasn't used to. I really just stuck to curry in the past. So I tried out Biryani for the first time at curry place, and it opened up a new world of flavor for me. This lead me try out all the different biryanis over montgomery county. A journey spanning 3, almost 4 years. Coming back here, now more experienced. Their biryani's extra spicy flavor still hits me like a truck. It makes me feel alive. It made me understand that it wasn't just novelty that I remember this place fondly. Curry place's flavor stands the test of time.

Bad experience last Saturday night. An employee wouldn't let me sit where I wanted to sit. I am/was a regular customer at The Curry Place and have never been treated like that before. He was not even truthful when he told me why he didn't want me to sit where I wanted to sit. So, I just put my coat back on and left. My hope is that other patrons do not experience what I experienced. I can promise you I will not experience it again any time soon because it will be quite awhile before I go there again. Tony B

First time to try this joint. Very casual cozy little restaurant at a strip mall in Germantown. Hubby and I had cravings for Indian cuisine. This is near the New Grandmart International grocery store so it's perfect location for our purposes. The staff were so friendly and professional. It was a refreshing experience. We got the assorted platter that had chicken tandoori, samosa, lamb and veggie patties with a side of tamarind and green chutney (cilantro and mint). Every bite was delicious! The samosa had crunchy pastry on the outside and perfectly cooked. Lamb and chicken were full of flavor, marinated well. I got the butter chicken and he got the curry chicken. I tried both. I prefer the butter chicken but both were delicious. We got a side of naan and mango chutney and pickled veg . They went together well. Overall a wonderful experience and will definitely come back. I got the Gulab Jamin to go so I'll keep you posted on that dessert! Come try this place.

Nice small local restaurant, great service and delicious food! We ordered the butter chicken, curry shrimp, and garlic naan. Chicken was plentiful and tender. Flavors in both dishes were great. Curry had a little kick but not too much. Will definitely eat here again!

Placed our order online, for pick up. The estimated time was 20 minutes. I drove over early and stopped at another shop near by. I arrived a few minutes early. The lighting inside is very dim. Otherwise, the location is clean and appears to be well maintained. The aroma is very nice. I walked over to the bar/counter in the back. An associate came out of the back and looked at me, with a smile. I said I might be early, but was checking on my order. He checked the order on the back counter and softly said my name. I am not sure if he said anything else after that. I live just a 2 minute drive away. The entrees were still hot. The rice and spring rolls warm, the cauliflower in between. The colors of the food were vibrant. The individual aromas were very pleasant. Each item was very fresh looking and tasting. The cauliflower, Lasuni Gobi, was spicy up front at first bite, but maybe medium at first. Overall the flavor profile was excellent. Both entrees were very tasty. The goat had some fat, which we expected and appreciated. The meat was tender but not too soft. The Lamb dish was very well prepared. The subtle flavor of coconut was in the background. Both entrees were very flavorful, and as expected had their own unique spice combinations. The spring rolls were good, probably could have used a bit more filling to balance the wrapper. The dipping sauce complimented the rolls. We were very happy with the food and overall process to order and pick it up.

We got takeout on a busy Friday night and it was delicious and hot and fresh and satisfying! We had the fiery battered cauliflower not too hot at all), butter chicken, vegetable pakora, meat kebabs, and vegetable korma. Excellent! And good value.

This is our go to place for Indian food. Always delicious and consistent. The staff are alwaysvery courteous when calling to order and when picking up.

Wonderful curry's, large variety. This is our go to place. I tend to go for more hot curry's like vindaloo. My wife is a vegetarian and loves the options she has.

Bad service, they made my order wrong, had me drive back 20 mins to pick up a remade order, wrong again. No apology nothing. Chicken tikka Marsala was yellow and had no flavor

At 6 in the evening on a Saturday in the summer, this place was buzzing with steady business. I'm not from the area, but it was apparent this was a local favorite with the number of to-go orders flying out the door. My table had honey garlic shrimp, rosemary garlic naan, curry lamb, and lamb biryani. EVERYTHING was good and seasoned well without being too spicy. There was a little kick, but it was the perfect amount without being overpowering. The highlight was the naan. I am trying to think back to when I had better, and I just can't. It was full of flavor and buttery soft, served piping hot, fresh off the tandoor. I would recommend this quaint, unassuming establishment to any fan of Indian cuisine.

After all these years our fam still likes y'all :) We like you - we really like you. We've been ordering online delivery consistently for almost 2 yrs now due to what's going on..... and CP has been part of our good eats rotation - the beyond menu app is what we use. Our online delivery order arrives consistently on time with their tasty entrees - no complaints from our bellies. Routinely 99.9999% of the time I post foodporn pics. Photos are way more helpful than reviews imo. Still I'm posting this review if there's interest. Also I'll post pics before reviews 'cause I look for pics myself - just being honest. Hopefully my pics are helpful :) And as usual we'll be back for more tandoori, vindaloo, and for that recent noodle dish I'm crushin' on.

I ordered the Butter Chicken, Lamb saag, and roti. The Lamb Saag was okay but the rest was some of the worst Indian food I have ever had in my life. The butter chicken tasted like someone had put maple syrup in it instead of spices, and the roti was somehow underbaked but also stale? I will never order from here again. I shouldn't have to put extra cumin and fenugreek on the food I ordered just to taste anything other than sugar, when it is butter chicken. Revolting.

Love this place - the food is SO GOOD & the portions generous. Our table had the Lamb Rogan Josh, Paneer Tikka Masala, Jhol MoMo, Chicken Lollipops, & Paneer Tikka (appetizer). Everything was fresh, hot, well-seasoned, and nicely presented. Super efficient & friendly staff. There was a constant stream of people picking up carry-out, so it's obviously (deservedly) popular. Will definitely return!

Very consistent ! Great attention to details and I've always had a good experience catering from them for our events ! Highly recommended

The jhol momos are some of the best in the DMV! Good selection of Nepali dishes and Indian dishes as well.

I see They use plastic containers for steaming hot food, the containers have bright colors and ones the color already faded. I also see the label at the bottom of the container is still there, halfway being washed probably with residual constantly leaking out to plates of dishwasher. I saw this when the waiter poured the very hot food to buffet service containers. I don't believe the plastic is food safe for steaming hot food.

I think the Mango Lassi was definitely a 5 star drink! Super tasty and refreshing. Definitely worth the extra $5. The butter chicken was okay, I prefer mine to be less sweet and I found this to be super sweet. The rice was cooked perfectly! The samosas were also okay, but the chutney was super flavorful!

Well, for having lived in Germantown for so many years, I'm disappointed in myself for waiting this long to eat from here. If I had known their food was great, I would've checked them out sooner. We ordered the the lollypop chicken, garlic naan, and kadai chicken. The lollypop chicken was sweet and slightly spicy. The meat was quiet tender and falling off the bone with a light bite. Very tasty. Garlic naan is always a great choice. I don't think I've ever had bad garlic naan and this is the same case here. The kadai chicken was great too because it was tasty and flavorful without being overtly oily. The gravy was a little thicker than I'm normally used to which I actually liked. The green pepper and onions complimented the dish well. Our waitress was also nice and informative, while the restaurant was very clean. I didn't know they delivered so that might be taking place more often.

COVID Dine-In Review Weight was long, but the food was great! This was my first time having butter chicken sweet. It was fantastic! My date loved the ghost pepper chicken. It's not too hot if you're used to it. Restaurant seems to mostly be making $ off of to go orders, so be aware of that if you sit down. May have made the service slower.

The food is amazing! I've eaten here twice and got something different both times. Both dishes(the curry & fried rice) are a 10/10. Good portions for the price you pay. Lastly, the service is comforting.

Food is good but rude staff. I had place a delivery order two years ago due to the snow. He had no common sense of ringing the doorbell and made me drive all the way in the snow. When I reached the the manager manisha was very rude and told me it was my fault that I didn't answer the door. The delivery person didn't even rang the doorbell and made me come to the restaurant to pick up my order. Wow never going back. Their food is good but their attitude needs to improve.

Once you walk in it smells amazing. The staff was nice and suggested some of her favorites and we tried some. The Chicken Tikka Masala was good. The sauce was super creamy and the taste was great. The chicken itself was kind of over cooked but the sauce made up for it and the vegetables could've been cooked a little longer. The goat curry was just amazing. Taste was great sauce was great and it was cooked perfectly. The Naan was huge and so good. I didn't expect it to have flavor but it did. It was brushed with either butter or oil and tasted great. When we left the store we realized the samosas were not in the bag so we had to go back to the restaurant to get them. They were okay, nothing too special. I wasn't a big fan of the sauces but everything else was great. It is a little more on the expensive side but still a reasonable price.

My go to place for butter chicken. Been going here for ages and it doesn't disappoint.

The food here is absolutely amazing. I'm just getting into Indian food and this is some of the best I've ever had. The people in this neighborhood seem to agree, because when I came in on a weeknight, the place was packed and to-go orders were flying out the door. I'm trying to get myself to try new things on the menu, but it's hard when you find a dish you love so much. Here are my faves: Sampler Platter: If you're new to Indian food, (or just don't know what to order) start with this. The spit roasted chicken and lamb are moist and tender, the samosa is delicious and those potato pancakes (can't recall the same) are excellent when dipped in the tamarind sauce they serve on the side. Butter Chicken: thick, tender cubes of chicken in this creamy, heavenly, tomato-based sauce. And since there is so much sauce, there is plenty left over to dip your garlic naan in. And you will want to do that. Trust me. Chaat Papri: a delicious mash-up of flavors and textures. It's like a culinary kaleidoscope. "Street food" never tasted so good! Try it! Shrimp Biryani: Gloriously aromatic rice, mixed with nuts, dried fruit and plump, juicy shrimp. The execution is WAY better than my description, but I urge you to give it a try, Chicken Soup: Wait whut? I know, I know... this was the last thing you expected to find on my list of Indian food faves, but hear me out. This is not your mama's chicken soup. It's a boldly fragrant, lentil broth-based soup with finely diced chicken that will warm your bones and simultaneously whoop up on any nasty germs hanging out in your system. I've had a bad cold for the last few days and this is all I've been craving. Another Yelper mentioned how amazing the soup was, and it piqued my curiosity. Now, I'm paying it forward. Go get you some of this soup. You'll thank yourself later. Garlic naan: Naan and garlic. What else could you ever want? This food is amazing. You gotta try it.

Delivery regular with Curry Place and it never disappoints. Great portions, reasonable prices, and always delicious. Have never tried a dish that we didn't like!

Tasty variety and well-prepared menu items Very good and friendly service Delivery is prompt Ambiance is perfect for a nice dinner

Love love this place. Always excellent food. The lamb saag is the best. Staff is great. So far all items we have tried have been winners.

I have been to this place multiple times. I go here to get piping hot Momos freshly made and served with a big smile. Momo's are native to Nepal and Tibet. The place by no means is an upscale location, but their service and food taste has always been top notch. Their take on Chilli Paneer and Paneer tikka masala is great. The food is a bit oily, but the service and food taste definitely makes up for it. Definitely recommend this place for a quite evening eat out or a lazy evening take out.

I have ordered food from here in the past, and love it. I normally get two orders of their chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, momo dumplings, and mango lassi... but I've picked out at least 5 hairs, or chicken feathers from my food... how unappetizing. On top of that, the delivery was prompt, but the guy who brought the meal was fairly rude. I won't be ordering from here again. Two thumbs down!

My ex-g/f lives close to here, and we were fortunate enough to try this as our last meal of 2017! (Relationship end in April; it was mutual.) On December 31, 2017, we were planning on going somewhere else, but they had closed early. So, we ended up here. The owner was very friendly helping us with the menu. We took the food to go, and it was very tasty. The best part was that the owner said we could try the buffet while we were waiting. I sampled various foods, and everything I tried was delectable. Unfortunately, we didn't go back here before the break-up as there were so many other restaurants to try in Germantown (& elsewhere). Although I did bring up Curry Place to her a couple of times in 2018, but for some reason it didn't happen. I would come back here if I'm in Germantown looking for excellent Indian food.

We ordered 3 vegetarian entrees. Portions were very generous. Requested extra extra spicy, it was spicy but could be spicier! Person taking the order on the phone was very pleasant. Not rude or rushing us off the phone. Definitely coming here again!

I have been in Germantown for about 3 years now, always passed by this place never placed order. Last night we ordered appetiser to start with and it was amazing!! Panner Tikka - 11/10 Gobi Manchurian - 12/10 Tomato soup - 9/10 Would be placing now for main course soon. I would suggest everyone this place who are looking for indo-Chinese. Good one Curry Palace!!

We have been ordering here for the past two years and I only just realized I have never reviewed it! This is hands down our favorite spot for indian carry out. Our favorites: lamb rogan josh, lamb korma, navratan korma, chole, malai kofta, chicken and vegetable biryanis, samosa, samosa chaat, veg momos, chicken tikka masala, and chicken vindaloo. Really just about every dish is fantastic and service is fast -- food comes piping hot in generous portions. We always recommend this place to new neighbors looking for good, solid indian carry out and will continue to do so.

Good Indian food in Germantown. Have been going here for awhile with friends and during COVID-19, I've ordered it twice for take out and both times it hit the spot. Can't wait til this pandemic is over to hit their lunch buffet again!

Customer service is always good: tentative, polite, and courteous. The place is always clean and quiet. We always enjoy the lunch buffet. Food is consistently good. Only small thing: You will definitely feel the cold draft as customers go in and out the place. Great deal. Good food. Definitely recommend.

We ordered take out of the goat curry, lamb kebob, and garlic naan. Goat curry was excellent. Goat was tender. The curry was surprisingly on the sweeter side. Lamb kebob was tender and had a spicy kick. Highly recommend it. I wish we had ordered more garlic naan. Everyone loved it. The delivery was scheduled to come by 5:30pm. Delivery guy came at 6 though saying they were busy. Order ahead on a Friday night.

Absolutely fantastic food! I have yet to dine there but every time we get carry-out, it's phenomenal. We always enjoy the food and say multiple times out loud how delicious it is. Online ordering is easy and they deliver to our area in Clarksburg. Things we've ordered (haven't disliked a single dish yet!): Garlic Naan Chicken n' Cheese Naan Chicken Tikka Masala Butter Chicken Tandoori Chicken Aloo Gobi Cholee' Makkhan Daal Mango Lassi

This is a nothing little hole-in-the-wall, next to a liquor store in a strip mall in Germantown. We came here on a whim. We had a very delicious meal! The vegetable korma was delightful, with pops of sweet fruits and savory veggies in every bite. The paneer tikka masala was in a tangy tomato cream sauce that was perfect for sopping up with the naan. The vegetable samosas had a nice light batter, and we're not greasy at all. The service was also excellent. What a nice surprise.

The chicken tika masala is amazing. This is my favorite place for authentic Indian food !
