My family members are picky eaters but they loved the food here. The quality and authenticity of the food far surpassed our expectations. Service was impeccable as well. I expect it will be more difficult to get reservations next time we are in town. read more

Very delicious food. I tried samosas, naan, and a vegetable korma entree. They have a very large menu that's marked with dietary information such as dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian etc.. Dined on a Saturday eve and it wasn't too crowded. They have a lot of tables and can host large groups. I will definitely come back to try some other menu items. read more

Food was plentiful and tasty. Drinks were creative and delicious. Medium spicy is pretty hot. Check with the server for hotness recommendations. read more

Excellent north Indian food in an elegant setting with attentive service, which can get a bit slow when there are other diners in the restaurant read more

Very good flavor with a busy evening rush. Service with a friendly smile. Everything from food to service was warm. The place is unassuming. But often in life. It's the inside that counts. They are moving about serving some wonderfully crafted Indian Cusine. Homely looking. The layout is open and simple. Samosas, deep fried bettered broccoli. Jasmin rice is light and fluffy, if not fulfilling. They never give you enough rice for your Entrée. The smooth, creamy Tikka Masala with rice chips of Chicken, spices. They are a busy, bustling, business. read more

I believe this restaurant was the first Indian Restaurant opened in the Middletown area. And we're very much appreciates its presence in the MOT area. It offers both dine in and take out options. We prefer to dine in as the entrees tastes much better fresh out of the kitchen. The atmosphere is quite relaxing and soothing. The staff is attentive to your needs. Most importantly, all of the dishes are prepared and flavored authentically. We have not had a dish that we didn't enjoy. Portions served were plentiful, and pricing was reasonable. You may want to avoid peak time over the weekend as it can be busy. It's good to add this place to dine in the MOT area as it offers a terrific diverse culinary option. read more

My friend made a reservation for this place a month in advance. They called her back to inform her to change her reservation from 2pm to 1:30pm since they close their kitchen from 3-5pm every day. No problem we don't mind. We arrived around 1:30pm and sat down promptly. I was about 10 mins late but my friends ordered their drinks before I arrived. For some reason the chai martinis came out and my other friend waited on her cocktail for awhile. We ordered some appetizers and got samosas which were good. My two friends are vegan and she asked if the chai martini had dairy and the waitress originally said it did not. Once it arrived, I took a sip of her martini since it looked like milk was in it. It was later confirmed that there was dairy involved. This can be very dangerous if she was allergic to dairy products instead of being vegan. We waited on our food for atleast 40mins. It was not 2:20pm. My other friend still didn't get her cocktail that she ordered yet. The waitress then came us to inform us that the restaurant will be closing in 10 mins, apologized that we needed to leave and offered to bag all our food up. We were shocked! Why let us make a 1:30pm reservation if you don't have the staff or time to make our food? So essentially we sat for an hour and got two cocktails and two orders of samosas...and now we were getting kicked out. The waitress kept apologizing that she didn't realize what time it was and went to the other table to also essentially kick them out too. If they couldn't handle our order and let us dine in why didn't they tell us ahead of time? I've never had this happen before. If we knew we would have left and went somewhere else to actually take our time and eat our food. We then paid our bill and left with our take out. They combined our rice portions into two boxes instead of individual orders (same with our garlic nann orders) and we found an alternative place to sit and eat. We also had to ask the waitress for utensils, take out containers to split our meals up and napkins to go (instead of placing it in the bag for us like regular take out). My two friends also got their cocktails they waited an hour for and had to chug them so we could leave. The food was okay...I got the mixed grill which should have came with chicken, lamb, and shrimp. I'm pretty sure I just got the chicken and shrimp and no lamb. Flavor overall it tasted the same and wasn't that great. Seemed like they rushed to make our food just to pack it up for us. Overall very disappointed in how we were just thrown out after spending all this money and the food was mediocre. Suggestions for next time: Tell your staff to inform the customers what time they close and if they don't order right away it will be placed in take out containers. If you can't make the food in time for people to enjoy at the restaurant then don't take the order (but they would lose money so they did what they did). Very disappointed. I've dined in many restaurants all over the country and have never been treated like this. Diners beware! read more

Another friend wanted to try Curry & Cocktails. We had more appetizers this time; an Indo-Chinese fried cauliflower in a spicy red sweet sauce (recommended!) and samosas. I thought the chatnis that go with the samosa could be more flavorful (they do lose punch over time) but that cauliflower, I'd go back for just that. It's kind of chewy, a bit like "General Tso's Chicken" but with cauliflower. Lots of flavor. We ordered extra mild because one of us can't eat ANY spicy food any more and had a yellow lentil soup (dal), butter chicken and saag paneer. Extra mild WAS extra mild, too mild for me in fact. I like some warmth even though my own doctor says "no to spicy foods". If you are customizing your heat, somewhere between medium (which is spicy but tolerable) and mild would give you some flavor. As it was, the saag paneer was not flavorful enough (it's bland due to being essentially creamed or buttered puree of spinach with homemade fresh cheese cubes) and the butter chicken could have used some spice for me. My dining buddy was very pleased with the soup and the chicken as he could not have spice. The moral of the story is; if you have people with you who can't tolerate spices, the kitchen can easily accommodate them. I found out I really do need a level of some spiciness even though I can't eat "hot!" anymore. The bar is in a semi-enclosed area with nice lighting so if you are going just for exotic cocktails, you can sip some kind of fruity boozy something in a pleasant space. We didn't get the drink menu but they have a separate list of beverages. The restaurant can accommodate larger parties at tables; we were read more

Delicious food! Went for dinner and enjoyed it so much I went back for take out. The mango martini was heavenly and the chia martini was amazing. read more

Third times a charm ! I'm sorry I've been missing out on this place ! This food is delicious I've tried the curry chicken, curry shrimp & today I had the Hakka noodles with chicken so good ! I don't like too much spice so I went with the mild option on the curry & it's a must try The garlic naan bread is tasty as well. read more

My Dad and I ate here while we were traveling. Probably the best Indian food I have ever had. We ordered something called Chicken 65 as an appetizer. It was amazing. I bit too spicy for my Dad, but perfect for me. I like to gauge an Indian restaurant by their chicken saag. The best I have ever had. My Dad had the tandoori chicken and it was also delicious. Our waitress was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Loved the spaciousness of the restaurant. Also very nice decor. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. read more

The food was great. I had the chicken khadi. and my friend had the lamb curry. I asked for a mocktail, but it wasn't good. I should have sent it back. I was charged $12 for the drink. The service left a lot to be desired. Our server gave us water,after we were sitting for a while, and then we had to ask another server to get him so that we could order. When the bill came I noticed I was charged $4 for my naan,which was $3.50 on the menu. Very comfortable, clean, environment. read more

Food was amazing as per usual. Got the cashmere & shahi korma which are so so good (even with raisins!). Our bartender Hindu was theee best. He had so many recommendations that were spot on. Convinced us to try different appetizers and naan that are our new faves. We will absolutely be back. read more

The lamb biryani lacked flavor, the chicken tikka masala was oily/watery. Glad we tried it, but do not plan to try again.

We had such a great time at this Eatablishment. They were only taking Valentines day reservations but we were told we could sit at the bar. The bartender was so amazing and we had everyone at the bar partying. The food was amazing. The Drinks were perfect. This place is top knotch. This is a real review. read more

Preface: I am not an expert at Indian food. I'm a firm believer that if something is in the title of the restaurant (Cocktail) you need to go with that.. hence the CURRY MANGORITA (tequila, margarita mix, mango juice, mix of curry masala powder and a dash of cayenne). I was being brave as I wasn't sure about that combo. I am so glad it did, it was amazing and I even had two! I got the mixed appetizer for two which was combination of vegetable samosa and vegetable pakora (my favorite, a crispy little fritter). The seasoning on the appetizers was extraordinary. The Paneer Pakora seemed dry and the spring rolls very doughy. But as I said, I'm not an expert. Two of folks at the table thought their chicken dishes were mixed up but we were assured they were correct. They looked and tasted too similar to me. I think the issue was that they mixed up the mild and hotness. However, I ordered Chicken Malai Kabab a spicy dish, so my tastebuds were already off. It said it was boneless chicken breast pieces marinated with ginger and garlic but it was covered in something red and super hot, even for me ( I love spice as long as it doesn't overpower the flavor, it did). So I can really only speak to the texture which was perfectly moist and tender. The garlic nan bread was perfect! The service... had to take it down a star here. It wasn't that the food took long, but actually getting served. When we arrive we were the only ones there. But still attended to very slowly and had to ask several times and still didn't get silverware or napkins until halfway through the appetizers. I think later on more help arrived because we started getting waters refilled. We were not asked at the end if we wanted dessert. I actually didn't think they had any until I looked here. read more

We've been supporting curry & cocktails since before and during the pandemic. Since then, we have gone to eat at the restaurant a few times now and consistently have a service issue. This last time we sat 20 mins before we had a waitress approach us about taking our drinks or order. Once we did get one, another 20 mins passed without receiving waters. I approached the wait staff and let them know we still don't have any waters and if we could get an ETA on the food, they said it will be out shortly and they will check on the status of our food. It was around the 40 min mark when they were bringing us waters and was told the food would be another 30 mins. That's when that we decided it was time to go as we needed our LO to eat. I want to point out that this is the not the first or second time this has happened. The last time this happened, we again sat without being waited on for some time, no utensils, drinks, and very slow to approach us. We know things are hard right now for some restaurants and we wanted to give it another chance. We kept thinking it was maybe just off days, but it seems that it's the same experience anytime we come. Again, this review is based on the service, not the food. read more

The photos don't do the food justice! It tasted too good to worry about a quality photo! Super clean establishment.

Wow! We dined here tonight and were blown away by many things, the first of which was how clean the restaurant was. Then we were waited on by the owner, who we had just previously very patiently went over how each dish was made with another table. We ordered samosas, lamb vindaloo and chicken korma with sides of naan and onion kulcha. The vegetable samosas were delightfully crispy on the outside and spicy on the inside. Our entrees were not only beautifully presented in gold crocks, but were the best we have ever had. The breads were both perfectly cooked. The prices are good, the staff great and the food exceptional! We will definately be back! read more

This place is amazing. The naan- is really good, not rubbery like other places, leftovers heat up well. The pieces are large, cooked perfectly. Butter chicken- you can TASTE the butter. So flavorful. The lunch platter is a good deal- comes with a good amount of chicken, rice, daal, and naan for only $10. Chicken nargisi- I've tasted a lot of curry in my life, this tops ALL. It's is a coconut curry, and is very tasty. There is a good amount of chicken in both dishes I tried. Other restaurants give lots of gravy with maybe 4 pieces of chicken in it. Also, you can taste the difference between the curries. At other restaurants, the curries blend together, most of them tasting the same. Not here. The drinks- had the indian Cosmo and the mango martini. Both were made very well. Not too sugary, not watered down, had enough alcohol. Kulfi icecream- very good. This is the first time I look forward to eating at an Indian restaurant.... again! read more

Food is good and service is on par too. I just feel that the pricing is a little high when you compare to other places and it could be more budget friendly to come again and again. Ambiance is good for an Indian restaurant. read more

The food was fantastic. We knew it would be just from the aroma when you walk in the door. The owner talked to us for a while during our visit. He seems like a great guy and very personable.

Birthday dinner was very nice. Pleasant and professional service. It was quite busy on a Saturday night, so I suggest a reservation at peak times. Excellent samosas. The main meal was very good. Medium spice was just right for me, so if you are a beginner try mild. We did family style so we could each try something different. Bar service was off... who doesn't know how to make a proper Jack and Coke? read more

I don't usually give out many reviews on this app, but will make an exception for this restaurant! The food here was delicious and the staff was very kind! Even got to speak with (I'm assuming) the owner of the place. Came out to check with us several times asking how everything was and how the spices were for our food. It was our first time here, but will be coming back! A hidden gem in Middletown to be sure! read more

A variety of gravies on the menu and all of them I tried are top notch. I like their take on Nargisi, and the Curry spiced up is awesome. My wife tried the Shahi Korma, now we both love it and get it every time. 3 levels of spiciness so you can tone it up or down. I love tandoori chicken from here as well, it's exactly how it should be. We keep going back for more. read more

We just moved to Middletown and it was recommended we try this place out and so I have to do the same!! It was SO good. We have never had Indian cuisine before and this set the bar high. It was fresh, the flavors and spices were vibrant. We finished eating and were already talking about when we should go back. We tried the Chicken Nargisi and Chicken Tikka Masala, both were delicious and we would 100% get again, but now we are tempted to try even more things on the menu. We ordered take out, but I would dine in, too! The prices were reasonable and overall it was a great experience. read more

Service was prompt. My server was friendly. However drinks and food were utterly disappointing. I tried liquid marijuana and many margarita drinks. Weak and watered. Samosas had no flavor. Chicken vindaloo and saag paneer were just very spicy without flavor. I recommend going to Curry and Spice in Middletown instead. Much better flavor. read more

Wow, this place is so good! I was so disappointed when I found out "The Chicken House" closed but got excited for another ethnic restaurant. We picked up due to the covid pandemic and the gentlemen that handed us the food outside wore face masks and gloves. They were so nice and I appreciated that they were careful. The food tastes AMAZING! We ordered tandoori chicken, lamb palak (which we missed so much), chicken tikka masala, naan, Peshawari naan & mango lassi. For some reasons, Indian restaurants in DE don't make peshawari naan and lamb palak but oh, how we've missed them. They taste exactly how we hoped they would. We are definitely returning for pick up and, hopefully, dine-in. read more

Friendly spot very close to St Andrews School (Go Saints!) with wonderful service (family members greet you and check in on you in an unobtrusive way) and delicious food. We tried two types of naan and 4 entrees including lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, a shrimp dish and a lentil based dish. "Medium spicy" can be fiery so kept that in mind but they do give plenty of rice and they have a full bar! Generous portions too. We will back again soon. read more

Didn't know anything about Indian food . The manager took time to explain the menu and how things were prepared . The hostess and wait staff were all very friendly and helpful .

We went for dinner with another couple and everything was great. I had the Bombay mule and it was good, my friend got the Sunset cocktail and a chai tea and loved both. My husband and I had the mixed appetizer and we loved both items in it. The green and red sauces they served with it were yummy. We split the chicken curry (med. spice) and garlic naan. We really enjoyed everything. The medium spice was good, it had a kick but wasn't too hot. My friends had the salmon curry and the saag paneer. I tried the saag and it was awesome. One of them is a vegetarian and she really enjoyed her dishes. The space was clean and the service was great. We will definitely be back! read more
