Curry India Bistro is one of those rare places where you can feel the love and pride in every dish…read more The owner and his wife run the restaurant, and it shows--every recipe is his wife's, and each dish tastes thoughtful, intentional, and made with care. The owner took the time to walk us through the menu, guiding us on where to start and sharing his personal recommendations, which made the experience feel welcoming and special. He recommended his top dish is the Chicken 555. It is soooo good, very tender. Their buffet runs from 11 AM to 7 PM, which is almost unheard of since most places end around 2-3 PM. This isn't your typical buffet food either, everything was made fresh!! The meats were soft and tender, the curries were rich and flavorful, and not a single dish was watery. Every bite was perfectly balanced and deeply satisfying. The cherry on top is the Mango lassi is included with the buffet! It's super creamy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. I genuinely love this place and am so glad I found it. I'll definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family with me. If you're looking for authentic food made with pride and heart, Curry India Bistro is a must.

I used to frequent this place a couple of work lifetimes ago and it was a favorite. 10 of us for…read morelunch on rotation and the place was hopping during weekdays. All you can eat buffet stretching from wall to wall. Unlimited mango lassi. Tablecloths and drinks served in actual glasses. Yesterday, I brought the parental units to show off this lovely place and sad to say I guess times have become tough. The buffet was half its previous glory, part of the dining room has become storage and the office. All excusable and passable, but the most noticeable change was the quality of the food. The naan was a thin pita version of its old self. The butter chicken was not creamy and buttery delicious as it used to be. Samosas were nowhere to be seen. Fluffy rice became crunchy kernels inside a plastic bowl under the steel roll top. The mango lassi tank was replaced with pre-packaged plastic cups in a serve-yourself fridge limited to 2 per customer. There were reminders of the flavors I remembered from pre-Covid days, but only 3 occupied bare tables at lunch time on a Saturday speaks for itself. Soaring prices, dated spaces, disappearing tablecloths, limited service and shrinking menus are all signs of the times, but imho survival would depend on the quality of the food it offers. I would have gone back for that. Wishing this place luck that it will recover its locally-loved reputation.

The fact that this shop is crowded also demonstrates that. I recently went there with some visitors from out of town.

People were ordering several pounds of sweets at time so we knew the turnover was there. The service is attentive. They warmed up our too go pakoras and called us back for some chutney to go.

It's one of those places you wouldn't expect much from based on appearance--but the food completely speaks for itself. We ordered the chicken masala, naan, lamb, and pani puri, and every single dish was excellent. The flavors were rich, well balanced, and clearly prepared with care. Nothing felt rushed or watered down, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. It's the kind of meal where you're immediately planning what to order next time. Service here is also excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, which made the experience even better. On top of that, the value is outstanding--you get generous portions and high-quality food at a very reasonable price. The space itself is very modest, but that's not why you come here. You're here for the food, and it absolutely delivers. It may be well hidden, but it's 100% worth the drive. Curryland is a true gem for anyone who appreciates great Indian food without the frills. We'll definitely be back.

The food here is consistently amazing…read more The standard affair is butter, chicken, and or curry chicken, Aloo, Gobi, pollack paneer, sag with chicken, the brown daal is garlicky the way it's supposed to be, Keena naan is a big hit with everyone who tries it. Who's never had a stuffed noun before. You can definitely go with the garlic and chili naan as well. Not everything has to be hot, but the flavors are balanced, and the condiment amount is just right. The condiments do not overwhelm your pallet. The service is impeccable. Super attentive and very knowledgeable. Ask questions about the food if you don't know. You'll enjoy it more if you know exactly what you're getting into. They remodeled the inside a few months ago and walking in from the outside is complete travel to a new place. The laminate floors, the lighting, and the tables are very friendly for intimate parties to large groups. Enjoy!

Super disappointing and honestly pretty gross to serve dough like that multiple times. Save your money until they figure out how to use their ovens.

Chicken tikka masala is delicious & 2. I have no idea what to order. Tonight I ordered the combo dinner for one, to go. But, it fed myself and my 14-year-old (who has a bottomless pit of a stomach), with leftovers to spare! The combo included tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, 2 veggie sides (I think they were yellow dal tadka & saag paneer), samosa, an appetizer of some sort of fried deliciousness, rice, garlic naan, & a rice, pudding style dessert. First off the chicken tikka masala is absolutely delicious! So rich & creamy. I'm so glad I ventured out of my lane because each dish was so flavorful. The dishes are made fresh to order, so be patient. I promise it's worth the wait! I can't wait to come back for one of their all-you-can-eat lunch buffets so that I can explore more flavors. Sorry for the lack of photos. By the time I remembered that I should probably take one, half of the food was already devoured.

I had a good experience at Curry Time (Pomona). I ordered the "2 Item Combo" ($15.99) and "Garlic…read moreNaan upgrade" (additional $1). The portion sizes are HUGE! The curry is also well-spiced and flavorful. (IMPORTANT INFO: Bring cash. There's an additional 4% fee for card payments. Also, this location accepts EBT.) I arrived at Curry Time (Pomona) on Monday (around 4:25PM). Parking is easy. The lot is fairly empty. Staff is very friendly, curious, and welcoming. Staff repeatedly attempted conversation. Staff even appeared surprised that I'd chosen to dine-in. The food arrived very quickly since the curry sat on hot trays. As mentioned, I ordered the "2 Item Combo" ($15.99) and "Garlic Naan upgrade" (additional $1). The naan tasted buttery and hot; the garlic flavor was fairly muted, so I don't think the upgrade was worth it. Thankfully, the rice tasted very fresh and clean. For the "2 Item Combo," I chose Butter Chicken Curry and Goat Curry (additional $1.50 charge). The Butter Chicken is DELICIOUS!! Its chicken is tender & juicy, and its curry is thick, creamy, and well-seasoned. I happily embraced its light spicy kick. Concerning the Goat Curry, the sauce is heavier and savory. Unfortunately, the Goat Curry's protein tasted bitter, chewy, and almost rubbery; there's also many bones. Still, both curries felt well-intentioned and thoughtful. I left full and happy, Regarding ambiance, Curry Time (Pomona) felt a little run down and dingy. The corners didn't look well swept. Thankfully, the tables are smooth and clean. This location does not have a restroom, but there's a small hand sanitizer bottle for customers. Also, the location plays no music, but the flat screen TV plays youtube videos. Unfortunately, the main sound is an intrusive humming coming from the machine sitting by the entrance. The location is fairly cramped with its five tables. However, this place feels more like an order-and-leave spot. Overall, I created good memories at Curry Time (Pomona). The food is tasty and affordable! I also genuinely enjoyed the Butter Chicken. If searching for delicious Indian food, this is an easy recommendation. 4.7 out of 5
