I was skeptical about Curry Bowl because it is in a strip mall, and the name didn't sound very "authentic". Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The food is quite solid and the service was good. The staff seemed to have a bit of a language barrier, which assuaged my concerns about "authenticity". Ha ha. They were the real deal. It's not a big spot. The ambience is nothing special, very casual. The food is presented in plastic white bowls, as opposed to the metal dishes with the candle underneath like they do at most Indian restaurants. I'm giving it a "4" because the food was tasty and the price was right. That spicy vindaloo... Yum! I'll be back. read more

An above average Indian place with good selection of appetizers. We ordered from this place for the first time. The tandoori chicken was very nice, comes with sautéed green peppers and onions. The vegetable pakoras are very crunchy, a bit oily but that can't be helped honestly. A lot of portion for the price. My main complaint is the vegetables in pakora is kinda non-existent! Mainly batter, so maybe they want to improve on that. read more

Gave it another shot. Much better. More chicken and flavor. Not all dark meat anymore.

Curry Bowl gets the job done in the best of ways! My boss and I often come here to buy food for work meetings. The tikka masala is flavorful, and the naan is fluffy and huge. The bbq chicken pizza is HELLA good though, like surprisingly good. I wouldn't say this is the best I ever had, which is why the 4 stars, but if you're looking to satisfy a craving, this is the place. There are 5 tables inside with 4 seats around them, so it's not really a place to bring a large party. There's also a few outside tables and chairs. read more

Amazing food. We ordered through a delivery service. The butter chicken was amazing, vibrant, tender and the sauce was divine of which we had in medium spice. Hot option may be too much heat for the weary. The sauce had fresh herbs, that gave a burst of Indian seasonings. The naan was still warm and the samosas I saved and threw them in air fryer later and they tasted just as good as when we received them. We will be back for more next week. read more

Their chicken tika kebob is the best! And I love their naan! Best Indian food in Concord!

Food was amazing!! Food was good quality and very easy to order. Great customer service! will be coming here again!

I was blown away by the food here. I'm not easy to please, even at expensive restaurants, but the prices here are amazing! Authentic tasty and perfectly spiced with good quality ingredients. I live 65 miles away in Santa Cruz but will trek up here again for this read more

Food is excellent. I ordered tikka masala, karahi, naan and biryani. All were excellent. I like spice and ordered them extra spicy and they did not disappoint. The inside of the restaurant is nice but just know that it isn't fine dining. It is more like pulling up in your friend's house. Clean, small and casual. read more

Very good food but this is a take out place. The actual restaurant and seating is trash but their food and menu is authentic and darn delicious. Try it, we usually get the Butter Chicken Curry with some Nan. Try it out. read more

Glad I found this spot through Yelp and pleasantly surprised by their amazing dishes. My go to food order here is their chole chature, achari chicken and chicken korma. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. Their naans are really soft too. I really liked how the food is served fresh and warm. Really friendly staff and quick service. They have some seating space as well and they also have a few tables for outside dining. read more

Love the curry best in concord hands down will definitely recommend to everyone with Unbelievable friendly staff

Curry Bowl is a very good restaurant to have a decent Indian food. We enjoyed their chicken biriyani, tandoori chicken pieces and butter chicken with naan. Food - very yummy Service - Friendly & fast Parking - Ample spaces Ambiance - okay as I did a take out. My verdict - it's a good restaurant and will go there again. Try it out if you haven't given a chance. read more

The food was just okay; it's just that the butter chicken we ordered didn't stand out. I'd say they put the green garnish (chopped cilantro I presume?) borderline too much and they mixed it into the entire dish. I'd be fine with a little garnish (which I actually like), but not to the amount they did. But flavor was fine. Their garlic naan was also just okay - again, the flavor was fine, but the texture of the naan was a little different than what I'm used to. It was a tad dry and too thin to what I'm used to. We ordered online for pickup and there was no mention about how long we had to wait till it was ready - maybe this could be something they look at and improve. So we went there after 20-25 mins. At the restaurant, they almost gave me someone else's food, but I noticed it wasn't ours. Then they told us they didn't see our order, so we had to wait at the restaurant for an order we placed online about 30 mins ago. It wasn't the best experience to put it mildly. read more

Curry Bowl - Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. - Indian Near Me - Clayton, California

The food was okay. Not easy to communicate on the phone when ordering. Too much sauce and not enough chicken in the butter chicken. Advise to avoid the Fish Pakora. read more

Takeout was great! I ordered both desserts and some chicken rice/yogurt sauce. The portions were generous and I have enough leftovers for tonight. Garlic naan was also excellent and I wish I ordered 2 orders. Will be back to try some more dishes. read more

Prices are really great. The pitcher of water in a giant beer mug was, ummmm, interesting, LOL. Overall, good bang for your buck Indian food. We asked for mild everything but was still too spicy, so be prepared that they may not get your order just right. Still worth trying out. read more

I've ordered through mealhi5 which is their "preferred" mode of order per their website. When I went to pick it up they said they don't accept mealhi5 orders and refused to fulfill my order. Now I have to get dinner from elsewhere and dispute the charge with my bank and mealhi5; $45. The issue was the customer service. They were incredibly rude. They had the print out of my order and said they won't make my food. Didn't offer any resolution and wouldn't listen when I kept telling them mealhi5 is listed on their website and I've ordered from them before. Just kept going in circles. I used to love the food here but I won't go back. Work on your customer service. read more

The chicken tiki masala is sooooo good. The workers are really nice and helpful with the menu. I am new to Indian food and got tired of eating American, Mexican, and chinese. If you're looking for a new spot, I definitely recommend this place.. . It's my new go-to spot in Clayton. read more

Curry Bowl for the win! I picked up takeout for dinner tonight, and it was amazing! The portions of protein were generous, the flavors outstanding and prices were reasonable. I highly recommend supporting this family-owned restaurant--you won't be disappointed! read more

In my previous hometown I was spoiled because I had so many places to grab authentic and delicious Indian food. To my delight, my friend found this wonderfully owned mom and pop shop in Clayton. Honestly, I was getting my samosa fix via Trader Joe's frozen samosa(don't judge me, ya girl was desperate). Curry Bowl is family owned and has awesome customer service and authentic Indian food. I ordered paneer tiki masala, garlic naan and samosas(of course)! I devoured everting instantly. Generous portions, good food and affordable prices. I'm so glad to have this restaurant so close by. I'll be adding this into my go to dinner rotation. read more

My "go to" indian spot. Super consistent. Owner/cook is always there. Like they have non dairy options too.

Good Indian food and great prices. I will be back. At least once a week I'm grabbing food here. read more

Love this family owned Indian restaurant in Clayton. Extensive northern Indian menu. I visit often when I'm craving Indian food. Very welcoming and friendly service. Clean interior with a handful of tables. Recently had the butter chicken and lamb curry. So many pieces of meat enrobed in the yummy curry sauce. Freshly made, soft garlic naan has perfect amount of garlic flavor, samosas come with tamarind and mint chutney. Craving this same meal now as I write this. Will take a better pic next time; it was an after thought since as soon as the food arrived we dove in! read more

Curry Bowl - Garlic Naan, 2 Piece Samosa, Lamb Curry, Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Clayton, California

Love that we have an Indian food restaurant here in Clayton! I have not eaten that much Indian food and thats partly due to the fact that there aren't many restaurants out here! For my first visit I ordered the butter chicken, naan, rice and samosa! Oh what a feast! I have never had butter chicken before but I hear that a lot of people usually like it! I can agree that it is delicious! The sauce is a creamy tomato based sauce that you just want to bath in! Do not waste the sauce by using a napkin to clean up! You better lick those fingers clean! The chicken was super tender and I liked that it was small manageable pieces so there was no need for a knife. It was great with both the naan and rice. The rice soaked up the sauce so well and the naan was perfect for grabbing the chicken! This is definitely enough for 2 people because I had leftovers for a full meal the next day! The samosa were super tasty too! The wrapper was super crispy and the middle had more of a mashed potato texture giving a nice contrast to the skin! Will be back! read more

Went in for 1 pm lunch. Had to wait a little bit but that is okay. I am trying to write this review not as being mad as to how i felt being in the restaurant today. At the end when i was asking for togo containers for my food, the gentleman in the register asked me for which item i needed i said "raita" in my California accent and he went back into the kitchen making fun on how i said it. Well i am sorry if to come eat here i get made fun of how a person would say the words and get laughed at i aint gonna stand that. And i live very close by thought this be my new go to place until that point. This is very unacceptable and i feel very bad. Nope read more

Had a lot of their other dishes Also very delicious. 10 stars if I could. read more

This was amazing. We have been going for several years and just continued to be amazed and pleased with the quality, flavors, and how this meal makes you feel. It was a cold night, just finished a long day at work (good day), and wanted something delicious to enjoy with the family. It was a nice reminder of how something can just hit the spot. And the bonus, the left overs doing it again! Keep up the good work! read more

Great food but beware of ordering extra spicy. I'm a hot sauce fan and this bordered on too hot for me. Food was still very good.

What can I say about this place? Family run, always consistent! We ordered more than usual and glad we did, lamb vindaloo, paneer tikka, Chana masala and the vegetable biryani is extremely underrated, side hack, order the Chana for the samosa which by the are probably the best in the area! Aloo naan and roti were the sides, they were fresh and amazing as usual! Support local businesses, def in our rotation once a week! read more

DON'T EAT HERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY COCKROACH! Recently had take-out. I had food (Rogan Josh) mid December 22 and in it was a well cooked cockroach. Happily eating I bit into something crunchy and spit it out - it was half of a cockroach. After keeping myself from vomiting all over the dinner table, I found the other half still in the to-go plastic tub. That's the most disgusting food experience I've ever had!!! Do yourself the favor and don't eat here, unless of course you enjoy some added and uninvited protein in your food. read more

I like to new foods and this restaurant was fantastic! Good for vegetarians and carnivores! Food is not too spicy, and the Naan is delicious! The staff is friendly, and they allow dogs outside, which is a major plus. Highly recommend ! read more

Hidden Gem of Clayton. My husband and I just stopped in today. We started with a cup of chai and Samosa, which is a potato stuff deep fried Indian snack. Both were delicious. The chai has a nice touch of cardamom. I had the potato and cauliflower dish with garlic naan. My husband had the mutton biryani. They can adjust to your taste for the spice level. Clayton taste- mild Fremont taste - medium Hyderabad taste- spicy. Choose your level wisely! They gave us complimentary rice desert dish- it was wonderful!!!! Probably the best I have ever had (don't tell my in laws) The young man at the counter was very sweet and helpful! read more

My friend and I tried Curry Bowl for the first time recently and really liked it. We ordered the most delicious samosas and enjoyed both sauces that were offered (chutney and something green/spicy). We both ordered Chicken Biriyani, which I have had before. We were asked for our level of spice tolerance, which was nice, because I probably would not have been able to eat what I ordered if I had not ordered "mild." Be aware that "medium" was described as a 6/10 on the spicy scale. I'd say "mild" was at least a 4/10! I took one star for the super spiciness of dish requested "mild." Great food and service if you like it HOT! read more

Disappointed that this place has gone down hill. Food not good anymore. I asked for a curry bowl, he said do you want rice and I said I thought it comes with it. He realized I wanted the bowl, not the entree, he asked if I wanted naan bread, it used to come with naan bread, but whatever I bought some naan bread. I take the food home and NO RICE!? Just the soupy curry in a container. Did he just rip me off or is he just that lazy where he didn't want to give me rice? Don't go here they are cheap and scamming their customers. read more
