We almost ordered curry, but our server suggested that since we were dining in, we should experience the tandoor instead. That recommendation made all the difference. We started with fresh papad and three house chutneys, and I highly recommend trying the hot masala tea. If you enjoy a mild chai, you'll probably love it as much as I did. One tip: if you're not a fan of cilantro, let them know when you order. They use it generously as a fresh garnish, and it's easy to leave off if that's not your thing. My husband ordered the Chicken Tikka, and I had the Tandoori Dark Meat. Both arrived on sizzling cast-iron platters straight from the clay oven, still steaming when they reached our table and long into devouring the deliciousness. The chicken was unbelievably juicy with just the right amount of char and smoky flavor. The garlic naan was fresh from the oven, perfectly blistered, and absolutely addictive. What impressed us most wasn't just the food... it was the people. It genuinely felt like everyone working there wanted us to love our meal. Multiple staff members checked on us, answered questions, made recommendations, and seemed sincerely proud of every plate that came out of the kitchen. You could tell they cared about the food they were serving and wanted guests to experience it at its best. We learned they also own Masala House (Six Forks & Millbrook) and Bombay Café in Brier Creek. While it's nice to know there are other locations, we'll happily be regularly patronizing the Smithfield location. This restaurant has earned a permanent spot in our dinner rotation. Dangerously good. Five stars without hesitation. read more

6/28/26 Visit- My daughter and I were trying to find somewhere to eat after a long day of shopping . She found Curry Corner, which I had bookmarked to try as it is downtown and not far from my job, but never had a chance yet. We came mid day and it wasn't busy at all, however as we were dining, it picked up. It's a small quaint spot but the aroma of spices hits you soon as you walk in which is a plus. We looked over the menu which is pretty extensive. I opted for House Special Biryani, garlic naan and she stayed true with the Tikka Masala (chicken). Food is prepared extremely fresh so don't expect a big rush. While you wait, they provide complimentary papad with various dips. Service was very pleasant as the servers continued to check in on us to make sure we were good and everything was ok. Our food arrived and did not disappoint. Very fresh, flavorful and plentiful! The house special biryani included chicken, shrimp and lamb. He advised that it's already spicy however you can opt to go up spice levels. I decided on a 2 plus which gave it a bit more kick. My daughter decided on a spice level 4 (I believe) for her entree. Reasonable prices and plenty of leftovers. We will definitely return! read more

Ordered a large takeout of rice, butter chicken, garlic nan, potato curry samosas, and chili chicken. It was all fantastic. I haven't had better butter chicken. Only criticism is we ordered extra naan, and they gave us extra rice instead. Not a huge deal. read more

This restaurant definitely deserves the 5star rating it is currently holding! The customer service was awesome! The food & flavor was even better! Every single thing we ordered was amazing and packed with flavor and freshness! I hope to be back as many times as possible! read more

Curry Corner - Indian Near Me - Smithfield, North Carolina

Curry Corner is a new addition to Downtown Smithfield. It has been in businesses about two weeks now. I think it is the only restaurant in Smithfield with Indian cuisine. It is open for both lunch and dinner. You can dine in at one of the tables, at the bar, or outside. The restaurant is on the smaller side with eight tables, making it feel cozy. The restaurant has a nice ambiance with the decor, the Bollywood music, and dancing on the television above the bar. As street parking is no longer allowed in Downtown Smithfield, that is not an option. The restaurant does have its own parking lot. It is just a little confusing to find the entrance. I saw the lot but couldn't figure out how to get to it. But I did ask, and you access the lot from the Wells Fargo entrance. When I entered Curry Corner, I was allowed to choose my own table before the restaurant filled up. I was served complimentary papadam, a crispy bread, and three dipping sauces. I forgot what they were, but I liked the green and tomato ones. I was given some time to look over the menu. The menu offers a variety of items, from butter chicken to tikka masala to tandoori to korma to vindaloo to karahi to saag. The menu has vegetarian and meat dishes. I went with the shrimp korma as I didn't think I had tried that dish before. I also got an order of garlic naan. I ordered a mango lassi, and they brought out another complimentary dish of rice pudding. I did enjoy the shrimp korma. The flavors and portions were good. It was a creamy sauce with nuts and raisins. I had to take some of the dish to go. I left it in the hotel refrigerator, so I am disappointed I didn't get my leftovers. I considered driving back to get it, but it was likely tossed during the time I drove home. So that just means I need to return to Curry Corner for more. The garlic naan was perfect for dipping into the korma. The mango lassi and rice pudding were also a great part of my meal. The spice level can be ordered from 1 to 5. I ordered a 2, and it was a little spicier than I expected, but not so spicy that I couldn't enjoy it. The service was very friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in the door. I liked that the atmosphere was relaxed and I was not rushed. Payment can also be made at the table. Curry Corner is a great addition to Smithfield. read more

Curry Corner delivers DELICIOUS, again!!! I treated my daughter & boyfriend to dinner, and we were all moaning with delight during our meals. The vegetable and meat samosas were incredible. The chili paneer-unmatched!! We all ordered the tikka masala, with fish & chicken. The cheese naan was a tasty surprise. And if you happen to have any room for dessert, try the dreamy creamy house-maid rice pudding. The house made chutneys are always amazing. The crispy garlic naan is fantastic. Our guests said their dinner was the best indian they've ever had. My son DEVOURED the leftzovers. Curry Corner, we love you!!! Great waiter service too!! Truly the best!!!! read more

We were amazed that such an awesome Indian restaurant could be found in a small town like Smithfield. Just traveling through and decided to try it based on the ratings and they hit a home run! Everything from the food to the service to even the cozy ambience was a pleasant surprise. The staff was super attentive and the food was incredible especially the biryani special. The prices were reasonable and they even had a selection of Indian and Nepali beers! It's definitely a "go-to" if you are craving a good meal and have the time for a brief stop off of I-95 if you're traveling north or south. read more

- fast service - complementary appetizer and chutney - fresh, hot, and thick curry for the chicken saag and butter chicken tikka masala - i do wish although i ordered level 2 seasoning though that it would have some stronger seasoning/spices instead of just focus on spicy level but it is good mild flavor for ppl who are trying new things - great dessert read more

What a wonderful addition to downtown Smithfield! We started with the Samosa Chaat, and it was outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and layered with the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. The Lamb Rogan Josh was tender and rich with beautifully developed spices, while the Pistachio Chicken Korma was creamy, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. From the first bite to the last, the food was so good, we ordered an entire second meal to go. The service was warm and attentive, and you can tell there's real pride behind the food. We'll definitely be back to try even more of the menu. Highly recommend! Curry Corner Indian Cuisine is a gem for anyone craving authentic Indian food in Smithfield. read more

When I say that I witness the best customer service at this restaurant I mean it! People was coming in with list of lunch orders and they went out of the way to grab the list and write everyone's name of the order so there's no confusion. I loved the attention to detail I saw, from the food and cleanliness. All the food was cooked to order and tasted delicious. Prices was great. I order a to-go order and even the lamb chop was very tasty and tender! Wish it was a little more crispy but it was still delicious. Definitely would recommend read more

We had the coconut shrimp appetizer (good), but the Malai Kofta and garlic naan were the best I've ever had anywhere! Holy crap - must come back for this! read more

The food was absolutely delicious. They brought out lentil bread with various sauces as a complementary starter. We had the chicken Mo-Mo, if you like chicken dumplings I highly recommend. My husband ordered the lamb kabob with cheese naan, it was amazing. They even brought out a second thing of cheese naan because they felt the first one they sent out was not up to their standards even though the first one was delicious the second one was indeed somehow better. I ordered the chicken curry with garlic naan, it was the best chicken curry I've ever had and the garlic naan was PERFECT. The also provided unlimited complimentary rice which was also amazing. Even though the food was superb the best part of this restaurant is the service. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming they explained the meals and made recommendations based on what we liked. The restaurant was also very clean. read more

This food is amazing, the customer service is on point, it's clean, the food came out hot, the atmosphere is inviting, the owner is personable, the best place to eat downtown period.

We went to Curry Corner Saturday night at the busiest time possible and the staff was in full swing. So polite and keeping the place super clean between customers. The food was excellent! I had chicken korma and my date got aloo palak, his favorite! I can usually get 3 meals from one order, but I couldn't stop eating! The next day, I had my leftovers for brunch. We both agreed that this is going to be our new spot ! read more

This was the best Indian food I've ever had!! The shrimp tikka masala was to die for, and my parents loved the chicken tikka too. We stopped here on the way back from the beach. It was some 85-90 degrees outside, and they let our dogs sit on the patio with us. They were very sweet to them too. It would've been unsafe to leave them in the car due to the heat. Very clean and great service, as well. read more

The lamb was extremely firm. I've never had lamb that you had to chew for 5 minutes and you can't even cut through even with a knife

We had such an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu -- they took the time to answer questions. The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish was full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about quality and authenticity. They were also incredibly accommodating with food allergies everyone at the table had something they loved.

Service was excellent, the food was delicious. When I saw the five stars, I figured somebody just paid for reviews or somebody's family came in and wrote a bunch of reviews but certainly nobody ever gets five stars. They get five stars from me.

Five of us went on a Sunday evening and all five of us were totally impressed by the service and food. Nisan, our server, was the best. He made sure we understood the menu, were happy with our food and was just great helping overall, as well as being a joy to talk with. They offer vegetarian options, which was great for one in our party. My youngest son said it was the first time he had heard me be totally pleased with a restaurant in some time. I don't think I'm all that hard to please, just want the food and service to be good. They accomplished both. Highly recommended. read more

Amazing food, friendly staff. Enjoyed every dish, will definitely be returning to try some different dishes.

Absolutely the best curry since returning from overseas 9 years ago. From the appetizers to the main dish, the food was fabulous and on point. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. We will return, again and again. read more

The food was AMAZING and plentiful. It's not fancy, but it's clean and comfy. We shared a fried vegetable appetizer, butter chicken and rice, and naan. The chef was nice enough to spice ours differently - one mild, one medium. We also were given a small cup of lovely rice pudding. The service could not have been better! Nisan (sp.?) was so helpful and pleasant. All of the employees were personable. We give this restaurant our highest rating! What a gem! Our thanks to them. read more

I was going back to Washington DC from Myrtle beach and got hungry along the way. Decided to stop by at the curry corner. Best decision I've made in a while. Food was amazing. Taste was spot on. If you like it spicy, make sure you tell them make it level 5. You'll have an amazing time. As a Pakistani man who always gets disappointed from bland dishes from various restaurant, glad to say I found a spot that reminded me of the flavors I grew up with. read more

the food was delicious!! The service was amazing. I wish i lived closer i'd come back often.

The food was awesome and very authentic Indian food. The spices that was used it just burst of goodness in your mouth. The staff was very friendly, very helpful with the food selection. I say these because I celebrated my birthday here. Keep my cake cool that my daughter brought. I can't say enough about the service except it's excellent! The place was very cozy and even better they have sittings outside too. The atmosphere while waiting for your food it's nice smelling all that goodness it will entertain your nose and stomach. We are going back and try other foods in their menu! read more
