They're dead empty but happy to turn away business because (despite the sign that says lunch until 3:00), they won't seat you after 2:30. Never mind that I arrived before 2:30 and the hostess was in the back not paying attention.
My daughter and I wanted to try out a new place and she found Curry House on Ubereats. My daughter ordered Saag Chili chicken and I ordered Chicken Vindaloo, with a side of naan and vegetable pakora. We have been getting this same order at different restaurants all over the world. The good: We liked the fact that you have the ability to choose the heat level. The vegetable pakora was a hearty size and subtly tasty. Not overpowering. The bad: The chicken vindaloo was unusually super red in color and completely under seasoned however there was one ingredient I have never had in vindaloo that was unbelievably overpowering. So much so, I could no longer eat the dish. Besides that, the amount of oil was so bad I had to pour it out in the sink. Even after I poured out the oil, there was a significant amount left in the container. See photo. The saag chicken had a similar issue with the seasoning. While there was heat, there wasn't any actual spices. These dishes were just thrown together by someone who had no idea of what they should taste like. It's simply wrong. As far as the naan, it was overly buttered and tasted bready. Naan shouldn't be bready. I don't think this place is for me but judge for yourselves.
My niece ordered carryout Indian food from Curry House. She ordered chicken steamed momo and garlic naan for appetizers; goa fish curry, lamb tikka masala, butter chicken, and palak mushroom for main dishes. All the food was delicious. The chicken in butter chicken was a little bit dry but the sauce was yummy. My favorite dishes were garlic naan and lamb tikka masala. The naan was so tasty. The lamb was so tender and didn't have a gamey taste. We all enjoyed the food and look forward to dining in that restaurant soon.
Friendly service and easy to get to. Plenty of seating. The menu is traditional with a couple of Nepalese items. The Chicken 65 is a little on the sweet side. The Bhel Puri was solid. Amazing naan. Plus, they have a weekend buffet that has good potential
This might be more of 3.5 star rating but a few things that I would take away from the rating doesn't really have to do with the food, so I will round up! In town for the holidays and decided to try out this place as it's right in the neighborhood. Pros: Good food. Tried their vegetarian appetizer sampler and it was good with good sauces. The chicken wings were nice and spicy. The butter chicken was delicious as well as the paneer mahkani. The grilled lamb plate was also delicious. Rice and garlic naan also good. Cons: Did not have any ice the evening we went because their ice machine was broken. So water was warm. Chai masala tea- milk was already poured into tea. Had a very milky flavor. Would have liked to add my own. Only one server so a little slow service. Did not make my husbands butter chicken spicy as requested and then didn't have any spice platter for him to add his own spice to make it spicer. Overall decent Indian food. Would come back again, but if in the area, I will always tend to go to Jaipur in Fairfax.
First let me say that I I order quite frequently from curry house and I that this is the first time I have an issue. Their food is amazing. Tonight, I ordered online through Uber Eats. I ordered the lamb chops which is a favorite of mine. The picture is of the lamb chops I received. Mostly bone on 2 of those chops. The dish by itself was $26, not crazy for lamb chops but definitely too little meat for that amount. The picture is the intact lamb as it came. Still delicious though.
Ordered via UberEats. I got the chicken vindaloo lunch special, priced at $15.99 (plus tax and tip). As at least one other review stated, the dish was very oily (not creamy or smooth like at other places). Additionally, it was liberally dispersed with little crunchy things (I'm guessing they're some sort of peppercorns for spice) which also affected the texture/taste in a bad way. There is no option to choose spice level for the lunch special, so it came heavily spicy--so much so that I am unable to eat it comfortably. Note that I have a pretty high spice tolerance, but this was not enjoyable. Chicken was dry. Overall the flavor was decent and I really wanted to eat and enjoy it since I paid so much money for barely any food, but the spice level overpowered the dish for me. Very few potato pieces. Came with rice and naan, which were both good, but again with this being a "lunch special" the size is reduced significantly. Overall, I feel like it was a waste of money since I couldn't eat it.
I have not physically been to this restaurant so I cannot comment on the service or ambiance I placed an order through Uber Eats to try their momos. I was born and raised in Nepal and momos are one of my favorite things ever. Delivery was pretty quick so I had high hopes that my momos would be good. They were pretty disappointing. A little dry and just all around meh. I'm still giving them 3 stars because I realize delivery momo is hard to perfect. Aachar was also just okay. I also ordered a dal makhni (delicious), garlic naan (not good), and rasmalai (delicious, but also no such thing as bad rasmalai) I wouldn't order from here again but would eat in person if I was close by
I went second time and was very disappointed. We were two and had lite meal already and ordered tandoori chicken and chicken curry with two naan. I asked for green peppers and the young girl said they don't have it and I said I am Willing to pay please and then se got me four five slices of jelepenos. Anyway the chicken tandoori arrived and again so disappointed four pieces and two of them were raw not fully cooked. We did not complaint as it would Have been awful with other customers sitting there and watching so we eat half the food paid $48 dollars and $7 tip and left. This is last to me we will go there. Very bad food and same with service.
Saw their ad about grand opening so decided to try. We ordered the lamb chops which came with rice and chickpeas. Naan was extra so we didn't get any. Asked for spicy but we didn't think it was very spicy. There were 4 good size chops and all grilled with plenty of marinade as you can see in the picture. It was more tandoori style which was unexpected since we've never seen it prepared this way. It was pretty good but we kinda prefer the traditional grilled. If in Burke, you should definitely give them a try.
Mixed feelings about this place. I placed an online order for the chicken momos, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, garlic naan, and a side of chana masala. The good: Chicken Momos: Delicious and paired nicely with the sauce. Chana masala: Flavorful with the right amount of spice . Garlic naan: deliciously garlicky and soft. The In-between: It's unfortunate the main entrees were my least favorite. The butter chicken would have been better if the chicken wasn't dried out. Same for the chicken tikka masala, but also the tomato flavor was too strong for my liking. Maybe I came on an off day? Idk. I have to commend them on their generous portions but not the best Indian I've had in the area :(

The food was fresh and great. The staff was very nice as well! The mix vegetable pakora was very crispy and it just had enough heat. The lassi was very good. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and they can adjust the level of heat as well. read more
Had lunch with hubby and it was so good. Food took a little longer than expected and we had to get back to work so we didn't get to savor the food. Best butter chicken I've had in a while - sooo flavorful. Chicken biryani's was very good too. Nice red interior. Good for family, friends, solo, group. Was not busy at lunch. Had take out before too. There are two lunch specials - one with naan and other with more small appetizers (crispy flat bread, chickpeas, and a rice dessert) read more

This was my first time going to a restaurant since quarantine, I gotta say it was the perfect pick! I ordered a dish called rogan josh, if you haven't tried yet you should give it a shot I guarantee you won't regret. My husband and I got there around 8:40pm we didn't know they close at 9 but they were really nice about it and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our dinner :) Just wonderful!! read more

I've eaten at MANY Indian restaurants and Curry House was the worst I've found so far. Their mint chutney was a disgrace. It was watery (just like the other items that had a sauce) and the olive-green color clearly shows that it's not fresh. It's supposed to be a vibrant green - a blend of fresh mint, cilantro, and a sauce that would stick to my spoon. Why am I writing a review based on mint chutney? First of all, look at it. It happens to be my favorite flavor to eat with my papadum and samosas, so I paid for a 16 oz container of it. The sauce is watery in the Chicken Jalfrezi too. Thinned-out (just like the mint chutney and the palak paneer) which waters down flavors. It's like they're trying to do the most with little. I was also mad that the added vegetables (the highlight of the dish because it's chicken and vegetables) were the same frozen peas/carrots/corn/bean medley that you find in any grocery store (like Birds-Eye or the grocery store equivalent). Even the worst Chinese restaurants give you freshly sliced carrots! Their prices are premium, but their food does not come anywhere close to the quality of Indian food you would get at other places in the DMV (Masala, Saffron, Haandi to name a few). Nothing was fresh. Everything was soupy. Now I'm moopy. read more
I stopped here for lunch after visiting another business in the shopping center. The restaurant is stylish but not overly fancy. They have colorful china. They have a decent size dining area and a small bar. I had the chana masala lunch special that included rice and naan with the chana masala. I asked for the spicy version. All was good. The service was great. It did not take long for food preparation. I will return. read more

We've been to Curry House twice now, for dinner and for the lunch buffet. Both times the food has been excellent. For dinner I ordered the Traditional Curry with chicken while my wife ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. The waitress asked how spicy we would like them to be prepared. My curry was tangy, just about right. The curry sauce was very good. Crispy nan chips were complimentary. We also order a basket of nan. I liked the lunch time buffet very much and now prefer it over nearby competitors in Indian cuisine. Many of the items were as expected: salad, sauces, basmati rice, butter chicken, a paneer dish, and more. Something new to me was the mixed vegetable fritters, or Pakora. I liked this selection a lot! A basket of nan accompanied. Dessert was Kheer (rice pudding). We'll definitely be back! read more

I went for lunch here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. They have lunch specials and a pretty big selection of regular menu items. I ordered the chicken tikha masala and my friend ordered the chicken vindaloo. The food was delicious. I would come back for either lunch or dinner. read more

We've been going to Curry House for years and inflation has not been kind to them. They've always been a bit on the expensive side but it was justified by the quality and quantity. The last four orders have been extremely skimpy on the protein portions and the sauces are watered down. read more
The food was really good. We ordered bhel puri, mixed pakora, Hakka noodles, naan wrap and the naan pizza. The only reason why i gave it a 3 was because there was hair in one of my dishes which i had to throw away completely. Again great food but ask them to go easy on the hair. read more

Is this place open during quarantine ? I tried calling no response
Yes. Open for carry out and luncheon special menu they have created to take out. No in house dining. I called yesterday and took home an order of their wonderful Salmon Korma!!
Do you serve wine and/or beer? If not, can we bring our own wine in?
Yes we do serve beer and wine
What comes with butter chicken, rice or naan?
Rice the naan is separate (but totally worth it)
Do they have a good variety of vegetarian options for their lunch buffet?
Yes we do. We have at least four different vegetarian dishes on our buffet everyday.
