Curryosity

Great happy hour during the week for drinks and appetizers. Highly recommend the curry fries and rack of lamb. Chill atmosphere and friendly service. One of my favorites in South Park.

Great restaurant in a great part of South Park. The tofu masala and pita was delicious. Smaller portions than what I was expecting, but my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. They have a patio too and the atmosphere is chill and relaxing

Good food and nice atmosphere. The menu is varied but it is pretty much americanized Indian food. I felt rushed to do the order which it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Don’t expect large portions, they are small and maybe not enough depending on how hungry you are. The location is clean and nice, literally in the heart of South Park.

Our waiter Zach was amazing! We were very impressed, he was the one seating people, waiting tables, bartending, and serving. He was very attentive and professional. The food and drinks were just as impressively good. We happened to be there during happy hour, so we took advantage of the $5 prices. I definitely recommend this place! I will be back to try the rest of the menu.

I was thoroughly impressed by the unique ambiance, which seamlessly blends Indian, Middle Eastern and Western cultures. The restaurant's use of steel thalis for serving food, a tradition local to India, is a delightful touch that you rarely encounter in the United States. The Masala chai, while on the pricier side, was undeniably delicious, although it comes pre-mixed with a slight amount of sugar and lacks customization options. The outstanding customer service left a lasting impression; the staff's genuine friendliness and passion for their work made my dining experience truly memorable. Kristina was lovely and so was the dude at the bar. Don’t forget to checkout their unique collection of mixed drinks. My order was generously portioned, and the flavors were spot-on—I have no complaints there. Plus, parking was stress-free in this laid-back area with ample street parking. For a unique dining experience, I highly recommend reserving the indoor room next to the bar. There, you can enjoy your meal in the traditional Indian style—sitting on the floor with legs folded. Be sure to check out the picture of the room with its short tables and beds.

I love this place, the food is great and their service and atmosphere is great. They have a selection for vegan and vegetarian also

Came in with my daughter after exploring South Park. They were having their daily happy hour so we pretty much tried it all. Great options for mocktails too. The fried chicken was amazingly tender and flavorful. Definitely a must try place.

I was curious about the name and really want to try out this spot. Love the cute set up and the mural art on the wall. Menu has a nice variety and there's something in there for everyone. Please have a nice ambience , cute decor and the service is good. I was super excited to try the food, but it was a little underwhelming . We had the curry fries, tandoori chicken, mixed vegetable curry, samosas slim, garlic naan, masala chicken, and masala chai. I'm giving the three stars because some of the food items were good but some were not . For example, the tandoori chicken had no flavor at all. Bought the chicken and vegetable curry dishes tasted the same. The chai masala, fries and samosas were good .

Wow! I'm in a restricted diet, and gluten is one of my allergies. I did take out because who doesn't want to eat dinner on the sofa with a cozy blanket on a cool evening. The first thing that struck me is that they have gluten-free items on their menu! You don't know how much time I look at menus while out running errands only to decide going home is the only option. We ordered the Sag, potato pancake, and the chicken appetizer. I have to say the potato pancake blew me away. I also loved the Sag, but I didn't realize how spicy it was. It won't stop me from ordering the next time. I look forward to coming back for a dine in experience. I really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back. Great Job!

Servers were super nice and accommodating for a bigger party with no reservation. The restaurant ambiance was super cute and we were able to sit in the back where we were sitting on some floor cushions with super low tables that would be similar to eating at home. Food was plenty flavorful. I ordered a chicken tikka with garlic naan and it came with rice as well. Everything tasted very good and just the right amount of seasoning. Would come back again to try something else on their menu.

I have been going to Curryosity for years. Their saag curry and Thai coconut curry are my two favorite dishes, and I always start with the veggie samosas because of the lovely chutneys they are served with. It is less of a traditional Indian menu with some fusion type meals. But it's always tasty. Only negative is the service is usually unexplainably slow, like the servers are there but are afraid to approach you to take your order or check on you. Even when it's very quiet and seems empty. For this reason I prefer to do takeout from them.

Curry for Non Indians basically, or young Indians who grew up here and do not know better. San Diego style, standardized,. like all the Indian Mugalhi, Thai and Afghani places. What people here in San Diego do not, god forbid, want, is individuality or character. Curryosity delivers from its generic little name to the food..Alas..

Delicious food & great vibes is all that this place is about. Service is also prompt. My partner & I were here for date night & the vibes were just right for that.

This place continues to impress me. The quality of the food and service is consistent. We love the vibes, especially their playlist. I tried the dirty chai, which was almost like a fall espresso martini with a twist, so delicious. Thank you curryosity.

Parking is on the street and can be a challenge but the food is worth it! Our party of 8 had reservations in the patio area and we barely missed happy hour which is 3-5pm. I ordered a Nirvana Sangria and Nirvana Chicken Curry (I didn't take a photo because I devoured it.) Both were delicious! My friend ordered the Mussels and they were super rich with a good spice kick but was so delicious! I definitely will be coming back and trying more Indian Food! The Naan was perfect. My friend did order a side sauce and it was $6 which seems a bit much for a just a side of sauce. The atmosphere is nice boho feel and my friend did an Indian dance move for some free Papadam.

Was really looking forward to trying this place, the vibe and service are good, but the food was pretty disappointing. The Masala sauce was super watery and lacking flavor, and I asked for mild and it was too spicy. The garlic naan was fresh tasting but too burned all over and almost no garlic. The Saag Artichoke was all around the best dish but basically just tasted like artichoke dip, not so much a flavorful Saag.

Such a cute spot for lunch/dinner! I got the Nirvana curry with bruschetta naan- both were very delicious! Also it was happy hour (everyday from 3-5pm) so our appetizer was $5! Our waitress was very quick and kind and I will definitely be back to try other curries/dishes here! It's very cute inside, perfect for date night too! The portion was perfect, not too much or too little!

I was curious about the name and really want to try out this spot. Love the cute set up and the mural art on the wall. Menu has a nice variety and there's something in there for everyone. Please have a nice ambience , cute decor and the service is good. I was super excited to try the food, but it was a little underwhelming .

Bought the chicken and vegetable curry dishes tasted the same. The chai masala, fries and samosas were good .

My friends and I really had a nice time here. We brought a fairly large party and so we got to take up the back lounge. The seats were very comfortable cushions on the floor with lowered tables which gave it a friendly vibe. Staff was all very friendly and was happy to explain the menu and make recommendations. They also came in often to see if we needed anything. They also had a "free item if you dance" deal on the menu so our friend did a dance and they came to record it. The food was all delicious! Definitely get an order of cheese naan and curry Mac and cheese. The lamb was insanely tender and the nirvana chicken curry was excellent. Looking forward to a trip back sometime soon!

I love this spot! The garlic naan is delicious. I've had the Tikka Misala w/ veggies and then tofu. Both were great and decently affordable given the area. The ambiance is also a huge plus and a great place to grab food with a friend. The only downside is that parking is rough

This place is still such a great staple! Everything is large and filling and there hasn't been something we have disliked on the menu. The drinks are always very tasty and their food always flavorful. They could use another server or two since this place is always packed but that's the least of our concerns when the food and drink are great! Apparently there is a back room you can rent out where you sit on the floor so keep that in mind for private events!

Good food, good service, reasonable prices. We come here every time we're visiting San Diego.

I have been telling everyone about this place. It is by far the best Indian food in San Diego. I love the authentic table placements and the ambiance is super chill - I want to reserve the big room for my next birthday All of their dishes are incredible. Last time we got the paneer tika masala and the nirvana. The Somosa is also very good. I don't think there is anything on the menu that would not be amazing.

Have been to this restaurant on two separate occasions now and have had the best experiences. The staff are very friendly and make sure you are taken care of throughout your meal. I love the way the restaurant is setup/decorated. It's very cozy and has fun energy. Most recently sat in the back room (on the floor) for a birthday dinner and had a blast! The food is delicious. I've had the curry fries both times and LOVE THEM. I love how creative their dishes are, like the naan bruschetta (so good). Their cocktails are fresh and affordable. 10/10 spot for a fun date night or happy hour. Love visiting here in the heart of South Park.

Cute place in South Park. We were in the mood for Indian food. So glad we tried this place. It was a beautiful day outside. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside. Waitress was very friendly and explained each dish we were interested to try. I chose the tandoori chicken with rice, Marsala sauce and garlic bread. Serving was pretty good. Chicken had a lot of flavor and was a joy to eat. The bread was yummy too. Just the right amount of garlic flavor. The sauce complimented the dish. My friend ordered the butter chicken. It was also a good serving and had good flavor. The spices on our meals were on point. The cheese bread was delicious. A joy to eat. We highly recommend this place. Casual dining? Great atmosphere and good place to talk after.

A little fusion-y Indian place. Everything we tried was delicious! We made reservations for a Thurs night at 6 which I would recommend because the place was busy! Mostly indoor seating but they did have a small outdoor patio area. We got the bhel puri, chicken vindaloo and naan and roti. The main dishes typically come with rice but you need to order bread separately. The behl puri was a unique taste for us. It's a lot of puffed grains, onions, potatoes, etc in a sweet tamarind sauce. Fun to have all the different textures. It does eat pretty sweet though. The vindaloo was pleasantly spicy. I love spicy so I probably could have had some more heat but it was enjoyable. The flavor was right on point too. The naan and roti were good as well. I believe they're freshly made and they paired with all the dishes really well.

Excellent Experience in Every way! I am always in the hunt for Indian restaurants that are making an effort to be unique and be able to cater their food to wider American audiences. My first visit along with few team members was excellent as I really liked the vibe and food. Items like Curry mussels and Saag dip are creative and still have authentic taste to it. Definitely be back to try rest of the menu!

I was pretty disappointed in this place! The portions are very small, and the chicken was pretty dry. The curry wasn't cheap either. I'm the kind of person that always leaves a restaurant with leftovers - and I left this place scraping the bowl. Not because it was that good, but because I was hungry! I wanted to like it, but left underwhelmed. Additionally, the server did make his way by to gracefully ask us to wrap up and leave because we were staying too long. I completely understand the business of a Friday night and a reservation schedule. It just took me back because I've never actually had that happen in San Diego. Other restaurants are just as busy.

Food: This place offers a slightly different take on Indian dishes, and we were really happy with the flavors. The tikka masala and vindaloo are flavorful and really goes well with the rice that is included in the order. We also got a side of garlic naan which was slightly crispy and made for the perfect vessel for soaking up more of the curry. We did not know what to expect for the spice levels, but were pleasantly surprised that the vindaloo really packs a punch just the way we like it. Service: We opted for an early dinner and the service was fast and friendly. We were debating on the butter chicken or the tikka masala and the staff helped us make the decision by describing the flavors to us! Ambiance: This is a cozy little place with an option of sectioned off outdoor dining. We sat by outdoor patio area facing the street so you get a nice breeze from the outside.

I was very impressed with this place. My husband and I are visiting sand Diego and love the neighborhood. We walked by this place a few times and gave it a try. We expected super casual quick dishes but when we walked in we were so shocked to see the amount of details in this place. Had a few rooms with a lot of seating. The vibe was fun and kinda busy when we arrived but the manager made sure to get us seated and reminded his staff to check on us which I appreciated. Food was so good! We got chicken tiki, rice and a shrimp vindaloo. WOW wow wow! So much flavor! Must try! I def recommend and will be back when we visit San Diego again :)

I love their food. It is tasty and healthy and very easy to order, pickup and serve at home. The staff is friendly and attentive.

This was a pretty chill experience. Two of us arrived a little later than the main group (5 of us all together) because we went to go see the Beyonce film first. When we arrived (8:30ish) it was pretty laid back. Not too busy and not too loud. I was starving so I needed to order food but they also serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The group ordered Paneer Marsala, Marsala with chicken and Nirvana with chicken. The drinks we ordered were the Bombay Sangria, the Nojito, the Mojito and the Nirvana Sangria. The general consensus was that the drinks and the food were good. I was getting the vibe that everyone liked the food more than they liked the drinks. The one thing worth mentioning specifically was the garlic naan ..... . I've only had naan when it is almost burnt or too crispy. This naan was soft and enjoyable. I would probably try a different dish next time (I had the Saag) but I would for sure get garlic naan. I had the Bombay Sangria and you should sure mix it up well before drinking it. I was drinking it and it really tasted like mango. Then I realized once I got to the wine that I should have mixed it up and it probably would have tasted better. Now I do have to be honest. The group of us that got there first was seated by someone that made some comments about how not everyone had arrived yet and they said it was coming off kind of shady. Apparently this happened two times; once when they were first seated and once when they ordered some appetizers. That did affect the vibe so I did want to mention it. All in all, I would come back here and maybe attempt to order to go. I heard it gets a little busy sometimes. Plus there is only street parking and I don't think I had a great enough time and meal to spend time looking for parking just to dine in.

My friends and I found ourselves in the North Park area with a craving for some delectable Indian cuisine and a desire for cocktails. After scouring Yelp for restaurant options, we stumbled upon this particular establishment. It was a Saturday night, and to our delight, the wait time was minimal. The moment we walked in, we were mesmerized by the exceptional blend of authentic decor with contemporary touches. The restaurant's beautiful outdoor patio area was equally well-decorated, providing a perfect ambiance for our evening. When it came to our drinks, I opted for the Mango Spiced cocktail, while my friends chose the Mango Monsoon. These libations not only looked exquisite but also featured intricate details in their presentation. To begin our culinary adventure, we ordered Bhel Puri, Aloo Latke, and Masala Corn. The Bhel Puri and Aloo Latke were a true delight, oozing with authentic flavors. However, we were somewhat disappointed by the Masala Corn, as it lacked the expected burst of flavors and was rather bland. For our main course, we savored the Paneer Masala, accompanied by Naan and Kebabs. The gravy in the Paneer Masala was nothing short of spectacular, offering a rich and savory taste. The Naan, while delicious, had an interesting twist as it seemed like a fusion between Tandoor Roti and Naan. The Kebabs, too, were a tasty addition to our meal. Summing up our experience, we had a wonderful time at this restaurant. I would highly recommend checking it out if you find yourself in the area, especially if you're in the mood for an enticing blend of Indian flavors with a contemporary touch.

I have driven by this place a gazillion times! We never went in and I feel bad about that because the food is really good! My partner in crime is not a big curry person, so I went and got takeout one day since I needed something to eat. The young woman at the front was very friendly and excited that it was my first time. I had to have the chicken tikka poutine which was a delicious take on poutine! Also the curry mac n cheese, which was another tasty take on another favorite. I wanted to try something new, so I ordered the Saag with chicken. This was my favorite! The sauce is amazing! I could eat it on everything if I could! I also had the tandoori chicken, which was okay, a little dry. Oh and a flavorful garlic naan. Overall, this was a great introduction to Curryosity, and I was curious but it didn't kill this cat! Great flavors and definitely worth checking out. I would've taken pictures but the togo was not as pretty as probably eating in.

I enjoyed our experience here. They definitely know their curries and had the perfect answer to my curry cravings. This area of town doesn't have the best parking, so make sure you're prepared to walk a couple of blocks. They have an outside patio that is fur baby friendly. And they were more than happy to give our pup a little saucer of water. The spices in their curry was on point! A little thrown off on some of the knife cuts, and the meats were a bit on the drier side. I think our recent trip to Singapore raised our standards for Indian food as we had some damn good Indian food in the hawker centers. Half a star off for the dry meats. I felt a bit unattended to although the restaurant wasn't busy. We had to flag down our server for refills, napkins, check, etc. Overall, it is a great place to satisfy that little curry insisting monster inside of us all. I'd definitely order takeout from here in the future!

Stopped by for some drinks at the bar but did not order food this time around. The bartender (whom unfortunately I don't recall his name) was very friendly and energetic. I ordered a drink that he excitedly made but it wasn't my kind of flavor, he was more than willing to replace it with something different. Kudos! Ambiance is nice and calm. With large open windows to let in a nice breeze.

Years ago, I found Curryosity and loved the whole concept, location, and food. Now living closer, my roommate and I have been going to their happy hour from 3-5pm and their prices are very reasonable. Especially for the drink options and we love the sangria. However, it is pretty empty and it doesn't seem like they change the menu up much. I wish they would incorporate more specials so regulars can have more things to try. The happy hours are starting to get boring. Also, it would be better to have the happy hour extend at least an extra hour because I barely make it when I get off work.

Second time coming here and I expected her to be amazing like last time but definitely not the case! I had made a reservation for 6 people ahead of time for a Saturday evening and when we got there, it turned out they had lost our reservation and we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. Service was extremely slow! First appetizer came within 5 minutes but the next two took good 15 minutes on top of that to come out. They came out pretty much just around the time the entrees came. Chicken Tikka Poutine: Really good. Waffle fries were nice and thick but still crispy on the outside. Curry sauce on top with lovely and portion size is quite good. Chicken Tikka: The pieces look quite large but extremely dry. Quite overcooked. The chicken itself is also too salty. Curry sauce and chutney(too less of this) on the side saved it. Nirvana Chicken Curry: I was surprised! Curry itself was amazing - really good flavor. But the chicken itself was overcooked. Butter Chicken: Good curry again, but chicken was definitely overcooked. Saag Paneer: Soft paneer and good amount of paneer as well. But the curry was not as good. Quite chunky and the flavor was a little off. Cocktails looked wrong! Got the Bombay Sangria like last time, but it did not look like sangria from a previous time at all. Orange in color (instead of the maroon like a regular sangria and like what did was last time). Also came in a regular wine glass instead of a stemmed one.

Great Indian-American fusion close to Balboa. The curry fries are delicious and all the different curries and entrees are great. The Naan was slightly burnt and sauces cost $2 extra. Drink selection is not huge, but curated for the meals. I'd recommend going with friends and trying multiple different curries and small plates. There are a few tables on the patio and plenty of smaller places inside, wait is never too long. Service was quick and friendly!

This is probably my second time ever eating Indian food and I'm really glad I came here because it was delicious. The chicken masala was incredibly tasty and they were able to make it mild for me. I also tried the cheese samosa and garlic naan and both were amazing. The staff was super nice as well and answered any questions I had. I can't wait to come back!

The best thing is when you have great company to enjoy an amazing meal. My friend and I finally found time to grab some food and catch up. Curryosity was the exactly what we needed. The waiter was so amazing even with how busy the restaurant was for happy hour he continued to dance around the floor assisting everyone with grace and a huge smile. We ordered everything he suggested and nothing disappointed us. We both had never had the cheese naan which was made with a mozzarella with a sweet chutney on top was the perfect instrument to mop up all the devine sauce the muscles were cooked in. The balance between the sweet chutney, soft warm cheese melting to the spiced sauce every bite was blissful. The muscles were cooked perfect and the coconut sauce added some much needed warm flavor leaving you wanting more. The rack of lamb was marinated to perfection for 12 hours with mint chutney and masala dipping sauce that united all the spices. Last we also had the saag curry which is made from spinach cumin, ginger and roasted cumin with paneer a mild cheese. That was the only dish I had never had. The cheese had a mild tofu texture. I didn't find it add much flavor or much to the dish. Mixed with the rice let the spinach shine. Overall I would get the rack of lamb again. The cheese naan I would use to slop up all the curry sauce. The one thing I would say is I thought the portions were on the smaller side or I eat too much lol. The happy hour menu was great and our wine brought out the flavors in all the dishes. The decorum was bright and cheerful open and filling the air making it a zen atmosphere. Parking can be tricky because it's only street parking so as the sun sets the parking disappears quickly. Until next time I can't wait to try more on the menu.

Update: I am DONE! DDINE! DONE! With this place. I have spent thousands of dollars here and they once again want to charge for an extra sauce?!?!!! Well, I have learned my lesson! Shame on me! Never again! Previously: Every week we order takeout. It's almost $100 with tip. I asked for two extra sauces with my samosas and they charged me $4!!!!! WTF!!!!! (My son picked it up or I would have made a scen Keep the $4. You've lost a weekly customer!!!!

The Indian street corn was not my favorite at first bite, but I went back for more and it easily became a favorite that I couldn't stop eating. Cheese samosa also delightful as was the green coconut curry! Dry January was no match for the Mangonada, that mocktail was amazing!! Will definitely return!

The place had a cute ambiance and the staff was so kind. As for the food, all the items we ordered ended up having the same tikka masala gravy, it was a bit of an overkill. Their naan had good flavor did not quite have the correct texture. They also brought out the food in a weird order. They brought the onions and chili out as an appetizer (this is usually supposed to be to be eaten with the curry) and they brought the naan out 7 minutes after the curry, so we had to wait and the curry was getting cold. The dirty chai was very tasty! Over all, good experience but I would not recommend for authentic Indian food lovers.

Really enjoyed dinner at this spot. Set up in South Park, it felt cozy inside and out. The moment my partner and I stepped in, we had to comment on how good it smelled! We happened to be there on a Thursday night, which our server noted featured their Date Night special, so we were able to try out an appetizer along with our drinks. We ordered the curry fries (perfect amount of crisp topped with curry). Our drinks were delicious (we both especially liked the dirty chai). We had the masala and garlic naan, and our appetites were fully satisfied! We agreed that we definitely will be returning to try the other dishes!

I went to Curryosity yesterday and it was a great experience. The server was very nice and let us know that Thursdays are "Date Night" so we were able to get two drinks and an appetizer for $18 (essentially getting the appetizer for free). The inside was very nice and the food was delicious. We ended up getting the Curry Fries and the Masala. One thing I thought was weird was that they did not ask for a spicy level but the Masala was a great medium for me who loves spicy food and my partner who tends to shy away from spicy foods. I will definately be going to be coming here again!

The go-to spot for Indian food in South Park! I love their butter chicken and tikka masala. Their vindaloo is also really good if you want a good spicy treat. We've tried a lot of their menu, from their different naan options to their samosas to their mussels, and we haven't been disappointed at all. Their interior decor is beautiful too!

Very nice place in South Park. Only street parking as far as I know. A delicious happy hour menu. Food was yummy and drinks were good. There was only one server so he was running around once more people came in. My friends and I got there right at 3 pm. He was playing host, server and bartender. We had the samosa slim, Curriosity fried chicken, Vindaloo curry chicken wings, naan bruschetta, and Indian latke. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! I liked the wings too, they had a little kick to them. I had the monsoon mojito and it was very good! My friend had the Bombay Sangria and I can't remember what the other drink was but they were all good. Happy hour is 3-5 pm. Highly recommend.

Can here for a fast dinner and was enticed by the clever name. We had the samosas and nirvana curry with garlic naan. Samosas had a great crispy outside but we're a little cold inside. Missing a spice but couldn't really ID what it was missing. Their chutneys are delicioussssss. Curry was also lovely but wish it was a bit more differentiated from a tikka masala. Tasted almost too similar. Naan was also tasty but a little too doughy for me- perfect for my bf. Would definitely eat here again if we were in the SP area and looking for Indian.

Fun menu with delicious food. The Bollywood music playing in the background adds to the whimsical ambiance. I definitely recommend. To start, get the "Fried" Chicken in chickpea batter and the Indian Latkes. The chicken is coated in chickpea flour and has killer flavor. The latkes are potato cutlets drenched in spicy sweet tamarind sauce. The vindaloo was ok. I ordered a spice level 8 and it wasn't much. The butter chicken was excellent as was the yellow rice. The papadum is worth it. And to wash it all down, get Kingfisher on draft! Next time I'm asking for dark meat. Will update review once I do! I also want to check out their happy hour.

Curryiosity is a neighborhood gem that has left me impressed right with every dish as a highlight. Service was kind and attentive, the ambiance was moody and personal, and the food completely complimented the vibe of the restaurant. Their curries were each very special on their own, from the spices and aromas, to their tender meats and veggies. I couldn't choose my favorite dish amongst everything I got, but their butter chicken and vegetable Korma were definitely highlights. Their drinks were also very well priced for how much flavor they packed. I got the Monsoon Mojito, with a surprisingly sweet ginger syrup. Dishes were served quickly and the innovative menu showcased a strong fusion of flavors. Would definitely come back to try everything else on the menu!

Came to this place for happy hour for the first time. I met a friend and we got their $5 wine. What a deal! We sat at the bar and Justin (I think was his name) was super friendly, and attentive. My friend ordered 2 dishes from the happy hour menu and she really enjoyed them both. I only tried a bite, but it was delicious. Great dipping sauce choices! The restaurant itself is very catered to the culture, which is cool. It felt pretty authentic.

This is always my family's go to restaurant for curry. We all LOVE the saag and their garlic naan is to die for. We are always so impressed with their friendly service. Pro tip: Make a reservation! The owner tries his best to accommodate everyone but it can get really busy! That just means the food is great so don't be rude. The staff is amazing. Their happy hour is also great! Would highly recommend the samosa slims and cheese samosas! Overall, this will always be a go to for us. Great location and environment.

Me and my husband came to San Diego on long weekend and were craving some Indian food. This is one of the highest rated restaurants in San Diego. The drinks were amazing with interesting twists to the flavours and the food was tasty too. Also, the owner is super amiable!

We had a large party of friends coming in and one of us found this restaurant and decided to suggest it as an option for a group dinner. We all ended up agreeing and they were able to make a reservation for 20-ish people! They did have to split us up into two areas, one inside in the floor-seated room, and the others in the patio area. - PARKING - Street parking only - there's a lot of adjacent side roads where you can park, but it does get pretty impacted during peak hours. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Again, the staff was very accommodating of our large group, which is greatly appreciated! Besides the patio and the back floor seated room, they have a few tables scattered around the interior and a bar area. The floor seating area was very cozy, but if you're a tall person I don't think you'd be super comfortable here. We were sat 3 at a table, with one table having 5, but we're all fairly small / short so it worked out. After we ordered, food came out fairly quick! - FOOD - Curryosity Fried Chicken ($10.00): Fried chicken pieces like nuggets/tender pieces - the chickpea batter was pretty yummy, but some of the chicken was dry. Curry Fries ($8.00): SO good, we were contemplating ordering another one! Loved how the waffle fries were still crispy, but the Curry sauce was super delicious on top too! Samosa Slim (2pcs - $7.00): Nice crisp dough on the outside, and fluffy potato/pea/cumin/coriander filling on the inside. Nirvana - Veggie ($16.00): All of the curries are served with rice, and since our table had multiple curries, they ended up just serving the rice in a large bowl for us to scoop out of. Nirvana was very tasty, more savory tasting. Butter Chicken ($17.00): Many of our friends got this, and it was a crowd favorite. The buttery cream sauce was just the right amount of decadent, and had a nice flavor balance. Garlic Naan ($4.00): Large naan pieces!! Definitely worth splitting with a friend, unless you're a naan fiend then you might want your own because Curryosity's is delicious! Tandoori Roti ($5.00): I was a bit disappointed because I thought Roti was a more flaky, pull-apart type of bread. This reminded me more of just a flatbread, and even had a subtle, whole wheat taste. I would stick to the Naan next time! - OVERALL - A fun experience and delicious dishes to be found here. I do think the prices are a bit higher than what I'm usually used to paying for Indian food, and some things didn't seem to hit the price point in my eyes. However I would probably come back again to try out a different curry!

This restaurant is pretty cute and offers a few fun twists on Indian cuisine. Service here is pretty quick and our waitress was friendly. She was helpful to my friends who hadn't tried some of the menu items and guided them to some selections based on their tastes. I know they appreciated it and I did, too. Vegetable Korma -- 7/10. Rich in flavor but I wish it was a little bit spicier! The rice and naan were delicious pairings, however. Curry waffle fries -- 8/10. This was a fun dish and I'd get it again. I only wish that it came with more coconut curry sauce. The only downside here was the drink. I got an alcoholic chai latte and was underwhelmed. It tasted VERY watered down and was lackluster. I didn't finish it and would recommend against it.

I've come here multiple times at this point and I have to say it's easily one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego! The staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful with determining what to order or just chatting! The food is phenomenal! The snacks are probably my favorite part of the menu since you get to try so many things and enjoy the fun fusion flavors! The curry mussels and the curry fries have to be my absolute favorites! The restaurant is adorable and cozy and feels pretty open despite the fact that is a little smaller than expected. It's well priced, delicious, and always an incredibly fun time for me!
