North Street Curry Shop

One of our fav stops in San Marcos! We love coming here the food is always on point!! Chicken 65, forbidden taco, and mango cucumber burger are our favorites. Everything here is good and we haven’t gotten anything we didn’t care for. It’s not your straight up authentic place, if that’s what you’re looking for but it does have great food and good vibes for a fusion restaurant. It’s a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy great food. We ❤️ u North Street curry!!!!

Five well deserved stars for outstanding food, superb friendly service and cool atmosphere. I would give it an extra star for super clean well stocked restrooms that include tampax, hair ties and breath mints! We were greeted promptly and cheerfully when we arrived and given recommendations on request. The recommendations were spot on, the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala were both superb. The chicken was moist and not overcooked, the sauce was subtly spicy but not overpowering. The portion sizes were satisfying and served with a papaad. Our server Troy was cheerful and pleasant and the perfect level of attentiveness.

One of our go-to spots in San Marcos! North Street Curry Shop serves up consistently excellent Indian-inspired food with a creative twist—think “Indian food in a taco,” and you’re on the right track. We’re always trying new things here, but favorites include the Paneer Tikka Masala Taco and the Chicken 65 Taco. The Loaded Chicken Curry Nachos are also incredible (just grab a fork for the saucy bottom layer!). The atmosphere is just as great as the food. Inside, the space is funky and full of cool art, with plenty of comfortable seating. Outside, the shaded patio feels like a little oasis with big trees, fans, picnic tables, and vintage beer signs on the fence—super relaxed and fun. Service is always friendly and fast, and the staff genuinely seem to love what they do. If you’re new to Indian flavors or already a fan, this place is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back and try the new burgers and sandwiches next!

Don’t be misled—this is not a traditional Indian restaurant. They offer a few Indian fusion dishes, but none of them taste authentic or satisfying. The paratha was clearly frozen, the sauce in the paneer tikka lacked flavor, and the paneer tikka wrap was completely bland. If you’re looking for a real Indian food, this isn’t the place. It feels more like a coffee shop that reheats frozen or pre-packaged Indian meals and charges a premium. Definitely overpriced and not worth it. The only positives are the location and the cozy atmosphere—but the food doesn’t live up to either.

Wonderful spot to have lunch outside on the patio in San Marcos. Everything we had was fantastic and well seasoned. We ordered the trio to be able to sample a few different items as it was our first time- all were superb- the paneer tiki masala, butter chicken and chicken curry. Also had the smashed samosa burger which was spicy (in a good way). We had to try the curry queso- so different- never heard of that and it was delicious. Service was perfect- very attentive. They had an inside too with plenty of tables, we opted for outside- picnic tables and a few smaller tables for 1-2 people.

$$Food was good. Not sure what the chickpea stuff was.. It was a mix up with something else we ordered. It was okay, disappointed we didn't get what we wanted, but I know better than to send food back. Kabobs were okay too for a meatball on a stick. The rice was bomb though! But the drinks weren't all that either...tasted like plain Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. Presentation was better than the food...not sure if we will be back.

We watched Good Taste with Tanji Patton yesterday and North Street Curry Shop @northsmtx was featured. It wasn't the first time they were on TV. We ventured to San Marcos for lunch today. It was a gorgeous day to sit outside. Hubby had a half pint of Two Pitchers Weekender, Dad had St. Arnold Root Beer, and I had Mango and Mint Lassi. We had to try the Curry Queso and Chips and the Vegetable Samosas. The mango chutney is the bomb. We shared the Curry Trio with the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Chana and Spinach. We had a couple of bites of the Mango Spinach Salad with Lemon-Ginger Vinegarette because we were so full. Brought home the leftovers. The food was worth the drive. Bailey was our attentive server.

The Italian part in me desired Indian food for dinner lol. So searched the surrounding area for a restaurant. Although this place was a little out of my way, took the drive and made the visit. The first thing I liked as soon as I was presented with the menu is the awesome definitions I highlighted in one of my pictures. This made it easy to understand what I’m ordering. The service provided by Caroline was outstanding and her suggestions to what I ordered was all on the money starting with the choice of beer. When the food arrived, was deceived first look by the amount served. But the fact is, it was much more than one can eat, although I finished it all :) The food it self was delicious and the distinctive flavors will hit you like a freight train. Was super delicious. I may stop again depending on how long I’ll be in the area and order different types of food and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed.
