Since the sell-out, the food keeps getting worse. I had a chat with someone from the restaurant about how the food had gotten worse since the change in staff, and he got very annoyed and said that nothing had changed. You see, the main chef, etc., had all gone to Curry House, but they still had, and I quote, "the guy who does the chicken". So I guess if you're looking for good chicken this might be the place to go, but the vegetarian stuff is all lifeless, bland crap now. And the naan had been a bright spot even months after the change in ownership, but somehow they've found a way to make it spongey and tasteless, too. The aforementioned guy explained the change in the food and their inability to prepare hot food anymore by saying, "Americans don't like spicy food". How he knew that I'm Canadian I'll never know, and yet the absurdity of the assertion stands. They just chuck spoonfuls of chili powder into things to make it hot, which is just wrong, and gross, and just makes the blandness worse. The food is almost as unformed and revolting as Passage to India now, and unlike Passage to India the service is crap. I am desperately hoping that they'll go out of business and another, better, South Asian restaurant will appear to take their place. Curry House will do for now, but Curry Corner is just rubbish. read more

The lunch portions here are HUGE and CHEAP! Loved the eggplant side. Will be back again next time I visit the area. read more

Amazing Indian in the Oly/Lacey area! Very good Indian, authentic! We have been here 3 times and everything is fantastic! Be prepared to take food home though, the portions are good sized. My favorite is Palak Paneer, so tasty and their garlic naan is great as well. The staff is attentive, not overly friendly, but good. Be prepared for a wait if you go at dinner on the weekends. It gets busy! read more

For those living in the south-end and who love authentic Indian food, there is no place that comes close to Curry Corner! Here's what we typically get, and it's oh so good!!!: Chicken Tikka Kebabs- Boneless, succulent pieces of chicken breast marinated in yogurt, delicate spices and herbs, then cooked to perfection in a tandoor. Eggplant Bhartha- Smoked eggplant from the tandoor, cooked with onions, tomatoes and fresh herbs. One of my absolute favorites! Palak Paneer- Spinach cooked with garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and exotic spices with cubes of farmers cheese. Another one of my favorites! Shahi Paneer- Cubed farmers cheese cooked with a blend of creamed tomato curry, exotic herbs and spices. All entrees are served with either basmati rice or naan (Indian flat bread). We always get our food to go, everything is put in nice plastic containers (way better than the normal white paper cartons that so many restaurants use) and it is packaged so carefully, we really appreciate that! So for an outstanding Indian dinner, go check out Curry Corner...it's incredible!!! read more

Yesterday my day in Olympia was just a head scratching day I guess when it came to eating out. Again Curry Corner was recomended to me as a place to go try and the place has a relatively high average on Yelp so I went in here for supper. These days I can almost never pull myself away from favorite dish, the Chicken Vindaloo. So that is what I ordered. Unlike some places where they do a 1-5 or a 1-10 system on heat and spice this was just mild, medium or hot. Since heat and spice is different for every recipe at every restaurant I decided to go with the medium one. I got my Chicken Vindaloo and while it tasted relatively well(freshness wise) it seemed like it had little heat or spice at all. Was this really a medium for a place that looked pretty authentic? I was not as hungry as I thought so a lot of it went home for Steve to eat later. I guess if I thought the "medium" was that bland in heat and spice then I would not expect the "hot" setting to be really all that hot. I don't run into this too often with Indian food but nothing is more disappointing than going to an Indian restaurant where the food is known for it's heat and spice(especially something like the Chicken Vindaloo) and getting something bland and not all that spicy. In this case apprehension in not going all out on spice and heat is a detriment. read more

So good. Not our first time here so we knew what we were in for. Got the Palak Paneer and Lamb Curry, both were extremely flavorful. Ordered "hot" but would have liked a little more spice in both dishes. Basmati rice was good, too. Service is always outstanding there. People are very attentive and make sure you have what you need. read more

Enjoyed a really pleasant dinner here with friends. The atmosphere is very casual, with one side of the restaurant dedicated to the sale of small grocery items, but everything is clean and tidy. My wife and I split the Currycorner Special Non-vegetarian, which came with Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Curry, Yogurt, Garlic Naan, Basmati Rice and Rice Pudding. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Curry were deeply flavored and complex. The Tikka Masala was even a little sweet. The yogurt was acidic and nicely complemented the other flavors. The Garlic Naan was just right - flavorful without going overboard on the garlic. The Tandoori Chicken was nicely spiced, but a little too dry. This was my first time trying Lassi, so I went with the sweet Mango Lassi. It was yogurty without being too thick to drink. It was served slightly warm with a few cubes of ice. I asked for more ice to give it a real chill. The server quickly brought a glass full of ice and a nice little set of tongs, which was really thoughtful. The serving sizes and prices are well matched. Even splitting the Currycorner Special, we had a little extra to take home. It's in the fridge now, and I'm looking forward to leftovers for lunch! read more

I consistently go to Curry Corner for excellent food all the time. I order take out, sometimes I dine in and I always get the spicy chicken curry, which is in my favorite Indian dish. The restaurant is kind of small with no booths, but it still has the best Indian Food around!!! read more

This is a 4.5 star review. My wife, a friend, and I went to Curry Corner after reading and hearing all the positive reviews. We arrived at 8:15pm on a Friday night and were immediately waited on. My friend and I got the non-vegetarian Curry Corner Special and absolutely loved it. The spices were phenomenal and the chicken was melt-in-your-mouth. My wife got the fish curry, which really wasn't that great. She also was told that the fish was salmon but it definitely was not. The prices were reasonable on all our dishes. Our waiter was a bit over-eager to bus us out of the restaurant (he must have had night plans), but all in all it was a great dining experience and we would definitely go back. read more

The suburbs of Olympia are the home of excellent curry in the Northwest. Whodathunkit? The lamb curry I ordered was full-flavored and well-seasoned. My wife and I make Punjabi-style masalas regularly, and we could tell this was made with plenty of onion for base to give a full-bodied texture. Not at all soupy or watery like many curries we've had. Vindaloo is red enough to be mistaken for Red Velvet cake batter. They offer Mild, Medium and Spicy; I asked for hotter than Spicy and they did a good job of it. (I usually ask for 8 stars at most Seattle Thai places). It was a balanced heat - more than just red chili powder - the ginger, green chilis etc. all turned up the heat as well as the flavor. It wasn't hot enough to burn, just a nice tingle around the lips. Also notable are the parathas (stuffed chapatis). We tried the Aloo Paratha (potato) and found it pretty tasty. I prefer a larger size and having more stuffing but at $3 this was a good balance. The chapati flour they use has a nice nutty taste. We don't often go for curry when we eat in Indian restaurants, it's usually ho-hum and we can cook pretty good masalas ourselves. This was the first restaurant we've been to in a while where we would make a return trip because we'd be unlikely to duplicate the results. So now I have to wonder: why doesn't Seattle have a curry house like this? read more

Most certainly the best Indian food in the Olympia area. The kormas are beeeeauuuuutiful. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are both marvelous, as are the biryana dishes. Garlic naan is tasty and colorful, and the plain naan is nice and doughy. The lamb palak was a little heavy, with the lamb overpowered by the spinach. Not that we didn't eat it all up and sop up every spec with last piece of naan. I suggest you order your meal at the "spicy" level. With medium, there is barely a hint of spice. Surroundings are pleasant and serene, if a bit austere - nice tables and chairs. Prices are low and service is great. No way would we have found this place if it weren't for a few yelpers willing to trek to the ass end of Lacey. Thanks to you all. read more

Is this the best Indian food I have ever had? It is not. Is it the best damned Indian food in the greater Olympia area? Yes, yes it is. I've eaten here around five times over the past year and it's been consistently good. I have no single dish to recommend because I have enjoyed them all. My only complaint is that I have not yet figured out how to order my food "very spicy." Perhaps they think I can't take the heat, but it never comes more than what I would consider a 3 of 5 star spice level. But it's always flavorful, so I'll forgive a lot. In addition to the meals, they also have a small selection of Indian grocery items to take home. Spicy curry paste, for example, so you can make your own curry dish that will satisfactorily burn off any unwanted tastebuds. If you live in Olympia and enjoy Indian food, you owe yourself a trip out to the Curry Corner. read more

I was looking for a hearty meal after a stressful week at work, and sure I did get what I was looking for! I can't believe how much food they serve on the prison plate and I was stuffed all the way up to my heart - literally a hearty meal! I got their vegetarian lunch special - palak paneer and aloo gobi. The palak paneer is spinach and i think cooked with cream and some cheese. I'm no Indian food guru and at first it didn't look appetizing. But one bite and that was it! I'm coming back here (writing this review while eating)! It was so creamy and the flavors and spices just exploded in my mouth! The spiciness was perfect! A little burn but the enjoyable type of burn and not the miserable type. The aloo gobi was also good! It was a dish that consisted of cauliflower and potatoes I believe. Like the palak- so much flavor that my vocabulary can't even describe. The plate also goes with a lentil/bean side and I chose the chapati bread over the naan for a less calorie option. It was a little greasy but I love the chewiness and the slight burnt flavor! Finally, the rice pudding was just the perfect dessert to remove all the residual spice/flavor on your palate! Definitely a gem in Olympia! I saved half of my meal for tonight's dinner!! By the way- the only down side is that you will smell like curry after you leave the place. I had to go back to my car and leave my coat when I got in because I knew the smell would stick haha! read more

Curry Corner - Vegetarian lunch plate - palak paneer, aloo gobi, chapati bread, rice pudding, lentil/bean stew - Indian Near Me - Olympia, Washington

So glad I stopped here I got the veggie appetizer platter (large portions), garlic shrimp curry, and garlic naan bread. The flavor was A1 and the environment was quaint and cozy. When I travel I always look for highly reviewed restaurants and I was not disappointed. If your traveling to this area or live local this was an unexpected delight!! read more

I got a bit confuse with this restaurant vs the curry corner. If I were to compare the two restaurants I wouldn't recommend this one. Here are my reasons, when I got my food, the lunch special lamb curry... It looked a bit dry, the curry itself. The naan was also really floppy, there wasn't that crunch I was expecting, I guess I'm use to the ones in curry house. Anywho, one of the major difference between the two restaurant is the spices added to the meal. The rice for me was under spiced usually with one bite I get an explosion of spices in my mouth but with this one it was an eh. I'm not saying I wouldn't recommend this place but I'd definitely stick to my first choice which is curry house. read more

Easily the best Indian food in the south sound. The portion sizes on the lunch special are large, and the tikka masala was outstanding. If you are looking for excellent Indian food, believe the hype. Double plus good. It's a hole-in-the-wall vibe, but well kept inside. It's all about the food here. read more

Great, great food! The owner seems to remember me and my family whenever we go. The curry chicken, chana masala, butter chicken, and lamb curry are all totally amazing. My kids are picky eaters and normally just eat a lot of rice. The lunch specials are quite inexpensive and you get a LOT of food. I love the metal 'prison trays' that the lunches come on. The location is tucked away behind a gas station; and a lot of people don't seem to know where it is, but that never stopps the place from being packed during lunch time and on Friday/Saturday nights. The wait-staff is very attentive. The food comes quickly and your glass is always topped off. This is our 'go-to' place for indian food. My only gripe is that my wife always seems to like what I order better than what she orders, so she ends up eating off of my plate as well. But I can live with that. read more

I love Indian food (actually, I love all food). I lived in Manhattan for a few years so I've been lucky enough to be surrounded by some of the best food and restaurants ever. With that being said, Curry Corner -- a tiny little Indian restaurant in tiny little Lacey -- is in my Top 3 for Indian restaurants. It is SO good. I've gone in for their lunch special about 3 times now, and each time, they do not disappoint. So far, I've tried their butter chicken and chicken curry, both times extra spicy -- so flavorful! Their garlic naan is delicious as well. Not too doughy, but just the right amount of crispy-crunchy-soft-garlicky-goodness. They give you an enormous amount of food for the price (and it's served on stainless steel lunch trays with separate compartments, which is kinda cool). I always look forward to Curry Corner whenever I'm in the Lacey area. I'm almost tempted to give them a 5, but I can't just because their lunch menu is so limited (only 4 items to choose from). read more

Love this gem! Great Indianan food. I typically order takeout but I do go their for lunch occasionally. I do love their lunch specials, I wish they did a combo meal like that for dinner/takeout as well. read more

I now pronounce this place SO FREAKING DELICIOUS. I've only done take out, so I can't comment on the in house dining experience, but my take out was both hot and unholy good. This is what I dream of when I dream of Indian food. read more

Dear Curry Corner, Thank god we found you. You deliver what others cannot: consistently delicious food, and pleasant, attentive service. The rest of the Olympia/Lacey food scene could stand to take a page from your book. Sincerely, Aimee read more

Hands down BEST Indian restaurant in the Lacey/Olympia area! Staff and service are wonderful!

This is a follow up review. I have loved Curry Corner since we first "discovered" it. Unfortunately, with many restaurants the service or food quality goes downhill as time passes. I am thrilled to report that that is not the case with Curry Corner. The service is always prompt, even when they are busy. The food is just as delicious as its ever been. read more

Curry Corner - Lunch special. Amazing Butter Chicken, Navratan Korma, daal, rice pudding, rice and Naan. Soooo good. - Indian Near Me - Olympia, Washington

From the outside, it doesn't look like much (behind a gas station in a small strip mall). Opening the door, we all said "Ohhh..." as we were met with the most wonderfully authentic aroma of Indian food. Our party tried two appetizers (veggie platter and chana aloo) and they were both very good. Butter chicken followed with rice and naan (thick and chewy...wonderful) for my parents. I enjoyed the dal makhani a great deal. The staff are friendly and attentive and the price is really reasonable. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended! read more

Quite a hike from where I lived kinda out there by nisqually, but it's cute. Delicious. They are so nice. Its worth it!

We have been loyal customers for years. This is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant with a great dining experience in-person and a delicious option for carry out. read more

I've been coming here for 4 and a half years and the quality NEVER disappoints. There is a reason they win Best of awards year after year; this family run establishment is clean, and the quality is unbeatable. I dare you to find better butter chicken or Navatrran korma, my two favorites. Make the trip for the lunch special and you can try hearty portions of both, along with rice, naan, lentil daal, and DELICIOUS rice pudding for a price so low it's crazy! Do yourself a favor and go try it now. read more

Absolutely my favorite place for Indian food! The Malai kofta is excellent! We've always had great service here, and have never been disappointed by the food. The location is a little odd, but it's truly a hidden gem that puts all other area Indian restaurants to shame! read more

We drove from Redmond to Olympia to spend a Sunday afternoon, and it was totally worth it due to the excellent food at Current Corner. It is a small but clean place. Service is quite good, the owner specially was very friendly and courteous. We ordered a Paratha, Veg Thali, Lamb Shahi Korma and Chicken karahi and Naan. Except the paratha which was a bit bland, everything else was amazing in terms of portions and taste. The lamb was one of the best we had since a long time, it was a very welcome relief from the same typical taste of Indian food in Redmond. Definitely coming back again here ! Tip: Ask for level spicy, that's when it starts becoming really authentic. read more

Indian cuisine is hands down my favorite food. When I came across this place I knew that I had fallen in love. The eggplant bartha had the best texture and flavor. You also have to have a samosa in addition to their channa masala with a side of garlic naan. For dessert their galub jamun was calling to me. My stomach was happy which in turn means that I was happy. Excellent prices, service, and overall experience! A must! read more

Phenominal! Possibly the best resturant in Oly! Go! Go now!!! (I am very picky about food, and this is some of the best Indian I've had, with two exceptions: one in the bay area, and one in Tokyo) read more

I went to Curry Corner for the first time on Friday. I was very impressed by the customer service. The staff is wonderful and very attentive. I went with my husband and our daughter. We all like Indian food (my husband cooks it at home) and are always on the look out for a good Indian restaurant. We are happy to report the food at Curry Corner was very good. Our picky 4 year old devoured the Tandoor Chicken. For the price you pay for lunch and dinner, the portions are enormous. We came home with two boxes of leftovers. read more

Alright, literally just had lunch here a half an hour ago and by far was the best Indian curry I've had. Thanks to Harj and Jeevan for the recommendation! The meals are delivered in a great plate (compartments for all the food, which is great since I don't like my food to mix or touch, unless I do it, but that's another issue of mine...lol) and was spicy enough to my liking. I had the Chicken Tikala and my companions suggested the spinach dish which was awesome! I usually get some kind of curry, so on my next visit (which will be soon for sure) I'll get the chicken curry, which the guys had. Overall, great food, great deal on lunch and glad to have found out about it, uniquely located in Lacey Washington! (Just north of Olympia Wa). If you are looking for authentic Indian food, you will not be disappointed by Curry Corner! read more

I lived in India for 2 years and this place is pretty close to the real thing. Nice family run restaurant, fast service and very friendly. This is a Punjabi style (north Indian) restaurant so expect it to be rich/creamy vs. south Indian food which is a little spicier (broad generalization but you get the idea). We had palak chicken, kashmiri rice, lentil soup, raita, mixed pickle and chai. All were good. I could have had it a bit spicier but the mixed pickle really helped fire it up a bit. And their chai (Indian tea) is very authentic. Highly recommended if you are driving through Lacey en route to Olympia from Seattle or vice versa. read more

This is one of my all time favorite Indian restaurant. The food is always seasoned to perfection and portions are great. The garlic naan is my favorite can't go without it. Lamb curry is so good I try to go at least twice a month. read more

A small, functional dining space run by a family that knows their way around a block of paneer and spice rack about as well as a fat man like me knows his way around a 7/11 snack aisle. Their Naan, butter chicken, vindaloo, and masala are all delicious. The butter chicken was so rich, flavorful, and smooth I was worried I wasn't going to be able to finish it. Fortunately my friends fell in love with my dinner too, so it became a... Naan issue. read more

My favorite curry house! The staff are always so friendly and we just love coming here after a weekend camping or away.

If you are ever in Olympia, here's a spot you must visit if you're a curry lover. The restaurant is a hybrid, it's a also a little Indian market inside. I must admit, I was a little worried about this place when we were the only ones in there. After some research on yelp, I looked at some pictures of the food and decided to go ahead and order the Seafood Mughlai Korma, garlic naan, and chai tea. The chai tea was your average chai tea you receive at any other Indian restaurant. Each entree either comes with rice or naan, we decided to get both rices for both entrees because most of the Indian restaurants that I go to skimp you on the rice but this place doesn't. (The rice is enough for two on one entree.) The curry that I received looked mouth watering and was worth it. The curry was so creamy and was the most delicious Indian delicacies that I'd ever had. I wish these guys were in Seattle! read more

The food is usually great. So why 2 stars? The service. They will rush you for your entire visit. You ready? Get ready. Oh, it's 45 minutes until closing time? You better finish and get packing. I can't tell if they are rude because they don't care, or they don't know, but it really doesn't matter. We asked for a minute to decide, and he just hovered three feet from us. No substitutions! I find some of the flavors in the sampler platter not to my taste. But when I asked to substitute for an equally valued item, I was straight told no. They even asked the owner. He said no. On my way out a second server explained to me why. If I get to substitute, then everyone will want to. Seriously? That's your justification? If you want Indian food, get it here but take it to go. read more

Seriously, all I can say is "WOW" every time I take a bite of their mimosas and curry. The chefs at this location make all the difference. I have countless friends from India I go to grad school with that make beautiful authentic meals. The truth of the matter is it's very difficult to go into an Indian restaurant and get authentic food - many places use hot sauce instead of legit Indian spices to give meals a kick and also put stuff into the meals to make you full faster (I have several Indian friends that work at these particular Indian restaurants and tell me it's a disgrace!) Curry Corner is the best Indian restaurant I've come across (I've had Indian food coast to coast and in several countries outside of the states). There is an attention to detail that my friend and I appreciated very much. You can truly taste all the ingredients in harmony. I do not give five stars often, but what can I say? Way to stand out from everyone else! read more
