Burke has long needed an Indian restaurant of its own, and I'm so so happy that Curry House has opened! It's located right next door to CAVA in the old Hopsfrog Grill space (Hopsfrog has moved to the Walmart Shopping Center further down the Parkway), and the restaurant is very large and open. The decor is minimal but it looks spacious and they offer a very reasonably priced lunch buffet every day -- sold! I arrived for an early lunch on a Saturday with my husband and toddler, and we were able to pick pretty much any spot to sit. The waitress brought over a high chair for my kiddo and we hit the buffet! They had a nice variety of items, channa masala, spinach with corn, fried vegetable fritters, fruit, goat curry, butter chicken, and a very moist tandoori chicken, as well as a dessert dish that was like fruit cocktail in mango lassi, which my daughter L-O-V-E-D. Speaking of mango lassi, I ordered one to drink and it was seriously the most beautiful lassi I've ever seen in my life. Check the pic! Naan is not on the buffet but brought out fresh to your table, which is an excellent call -- it was piping hot and super fluffy, just delicious! I literally went back to the buffet for a little bowl of the butter chicken sauce just to house the naan with. Yum! Our waitress was super nice and really attentive, and I thought the food was good and the price was great. Not sure if they change up what goes on the buffet, but it sounds like from the reviews they do change it up which is great, and definitely means we'll have to return for another 'round of Indian deliciousness! They also do delivery through DoorDash which is awesome since Indian delivery places were pretty much nonexistent before now. read more

Ordered butter chicken. The food was good but pricey for one meal. Are all indian places this pricey? read more

They should change their name to Curry Heaven! This is my third visit during their soft opening. I can't help myself. On my first visit, I fell in love with every single item on the buffet. Since I had the opportunity to try so many dishes, I am excited to order them as entrees when they officially open with their menu. I am hooked on many vegetarian options. Palak Paneer was my very favorite thing I have tried in my 3 visits. The butter chicken was lovely as well. My kids are butter chicken fanatics, so I knew they would be hooked. There is something for everyone in my family. The offerings changed every day we visited. It was nice to have the opportunity to try so many things from the menu. They are so smart to have the buffet and get everyone hooked. I am not ashamed to say, I love their naan. The naan is just perfect. Order naan. Just do it. The milk balls have become an addiction. I may need to join milk balls anonymous. Yum! read more

A new Indian and Himalayan eatery just opened up in Burke, but I'm not feeling it! The hubs and I came here to check out their highly-raved lunch buffet - they had a limited selection, which most of the entrees seemed to be underseasoned or straight up bland. The pakora were chewy and not crispy, so I was pretty disappointed with that. The tandoori chicken was wet, and the exterior's rub and spices didn't permeate the meat, making the chicken forgettable. I did, however, enjoy the Matar Mushroom, as it was green peas and mushrooms, cooked in an onion- and tomato-based curry sauce. This was savory and yummy, and good with the basmati rice. The naan were thin, but buttered up well; I just wished they were more thicker and more fluffier, as they broke into pieces easily. Service was a hit-or-miss; it took a while to get drink refills. Also, I found it odd that everyone was being seated on only one side of the dining area - it started to feel a bit claustrophobic and strange, looking at a 2/3 empty restaurant. The ambiance was also lackluster, as it was just red-painted walls, but no decor. It would be nice to have them put a little effort into the decor. There were many to-go orders, so I'm thinking ordering a la carte off the menu is maybe the best bet. I'm glad I was able to check this place out, but not sure if I'd go out of my way to return. +disappointing buffet items +Matar Mushroom is tasty +hit-or-miss service +plenty of parking in shared plaza lot read more

We waited so long for Curry House to finally open this location. I visited this week and I guess i don't really know how to feel. When we got there we were good that at lunch only the buffet was available and you couldn't order off of the menu. I am not crazy about buffets. There was a decent mix of dishes like lentils, basmati rice, eggplant, and spinach/potatoes. I had a vegetable dish that had something very woody that i has to spit out because it couldn't be chewed. No idea what it was... maybe a stalk of tough asparagus. They had something that looked like fried chicken but it was too dried out to eat. The other meat option was butter chicken. I got excited because that is one of my favs but this didn't taste anything like the butter chicken I am used to. It was sweet instead of spicy and, again, the chicken was pretty dry. For dessert they had rice pudding. It was watery and had some pieces in it that could not be chewed. I have no idea what that was. I wished the pudding was warm or cold instead of room temperature. As for the ambiance, I didn't like that they were playing rap music and the like. It would have been nice to have some more culturally relevant music. The walls are painted a tomato red which is not very pleasant and there is nothing hanging on the walls to break it up. Nothing in the restaurant would make you think it is a curry place which is a real missed opportunity. I may go back in a few months but chances are I won't return. They have been open for several weeks so they should have worked out all of the kinks associated with opening a restaurant. The food was just marginal and unremarkable. The lentils and rice were good but 9.95 for just that is too much, considering that is really the only thing I liked on the buffet. read more

The BEST indian spot in the DMV with excellent customer service and friendly atmosphere. My friends and I come every week, I highly recommend the lamb vindaloo or lamb korma (medium spicy) , hands-down the best CURRY! The naan bread is so delicious, crispy on the edges, but soft and flavorful and rice is always on point! read more

Interested, but skeptical. Turns out this place is not too shabby! I ordered off their lunch menu and got the Lamb Vindaloo. My husband got the Butter Chicken. Both lunch items came with rice and a side of Naan Bread. We waited for about 10-15 for take out. Finally home to eat and what do we think??: I ordered the Vindaloo how it would normally be served, which I was told had a medium spice level. Most of the time when go to a restaurant and choose something that should be spicy.. it turns out that the spicy spice just ain't there. But this Vindaloo on the other hand proved me wrong. The spice was definitely present and tasted delicious. The lamb was nicely seasoned and tender--I just wish the portion was a little more (it could also be because the take out box could only fit so much. Hmm). My husbands Butter Chicken was actually really tender and the sauce was so creamy. I loved it. Now the Naan--I wish it was softer and had a little more salt added to the mix. It had a nice char to it and still tasted great when dipped into the sauces, but I like a Naan bread that can taste good on its own too. read more

Nice, new casual eating Indian/Himalayan restaurant in Burke! Still in the "soft opening" phase. Lunchtime buffet with a la carte dinner. Some interesting dishes and unexpected flavors (delicious butter chicken but with extra burn!). Some inconsistencies in service detail/timeliness and the Vindaloo was far milder than expected. Can't wait to see what they do for decor on the walls, too. Still, prices are reasonable and there is enough variety on the menu (including takeaway) to keep of visiting. read more

I came in here recently for dinner on a rainy night. I was accordingly not in the best mood, but this meal really hit the spot! I didn't see it on their website's menu as I was preparing this review, but I got shrimp saagwala. The salmon saagwala is still listed on the menu for comparison. The combination of shrimp and spinach was unusual, but turned out to be quite good. I requested medium spiciness. The shrimp marinade had turmeric powder, red chili powder, ginger and garlic paste, and salt (https://easyquickmeal.com/shrimp-saag/). The saag had spinach, onions, tomatoes, green chilies, cumin, and salt. The result was an excellent meal. I also got some naan, a mango lassi, and mixed vegetable pakora (spinach, onions, and potatoes). The pakora was similar to hash browns, but with onions and spinach. It is very good, if you've never tried it before. Overall, the meal was a creative and tasty combination of ingredients that Americans are familiar with individually, but seldom eat together. The total came to $41.34, including sales tax. I left about a 20% tip. All of the ingredients were fresh. The service was quick and friendly. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Keep up the excellent work! read more

We've been going to Curry House since it first opened. The first couple of visits were a little hit or miss. But we wanted to support a small local restaurant and recently went back - oh, wow! What a delicious re-discovery. We've decided that our favorites were the butter chicken, chicken 65, tandoori meats, dhals and naans. But there's more on the menu so we're definitely going to be back. read more

Despite an error in our order (missing our butter chicken when we got home), the meal tasted great. The butter chicken, when we got it with a couple of complimentary tubs of rice pudding for our trouble, was the best I've had in a while. The Steamed Momo were a star of the show-Nepal-style potstickers filled with minced marinated chicken in Himalayan spices served with tomato chutney. So good. Tandoori Mixed Grill was very flavorful-shrimp was the best part. Goat vindaloo was selected very spicy and was. A tad many bones in it for me. But great flavor. Lamb Biriyani was amazing-will definitely order again and a pleasant surprise-very fresh flavors. Paneer Chilli was an experiment and very tasty. Tadka Dal was perfect. Naan was exactly what I wanted and the rice was outstanding and generous in portion size. All in all will definitely be back. read more

I ordered a few weeks ago on a whim and am sooooo glad I did! I ordered takeout and it was ready by the time I pulled up. The staff brought the food right out to my car. Everything was delicious! The butter chicken was flavorful and tender, not dry like some places. The pakoras, samosas, and paneer sticks satisfied my love of salty and crunchy. The kids also loved the Hakka noodles. Overall, I haven't been able to stop craving the food here! read more

Came here for dinner with my family. The atmosphere was very appealing, both waiters were courteous and super friendly. The food was absolutely amazing! The waiters even gave us desert on the house which was so sweet of them to do. We left feeling full but completely satisfied with everything we had ordered. Thank you so much for having us. We will be coming back for sure. read more

Great food except for the slim shady way they handle serving you water. 1st time we went there, the server brought Kirkland water bottle for each of us without saying anything. When the bill came, they charged $1 per bottle of water. The second time 2 weeks later, they did the same thing but this time, they charged $1.50 per bottle. Given the current Pandemic, we do not mind paying for bottled water. However, it would be more appropriate to inform customers first if they are going to charge for water. For $1.50, we could have ordered other flavored drinks they have to offer. read more

Family meals are a good value and yummy. Happy to have pretty good Indian close to me. The Dal Makhani is especially delicious...though probably no waist trimmer, alas. Chicken Curry was the least inspiring of the 4 things we got. Will keep going back and see if I can get them to keep giving me even more "Indian Spicy" and deliciousness. read more

Super yummy Indian/Nepalese cuisine. So many dishes that I love all with rich, bold flavors. My go to list of meal courses: Salmon Tikka Masala, Matar Mushroom, Chili Sauce Momo dumplings, and Onion Kulcha. Today, they added a surprise dessert on the house as a Father's Day gift; what a thoughtful gesture by the staff. Great food, great service consistently every time. Get some! read more

Heard about this place from our neighbor- just sorry I didn't hear about it sooner! Great food, great service, great value! The wine selection is quite good and the price per glass and bottle is excellent! Lisa & Mike read more

This place is fairly new so I will give them some leniency as they continue to try and figure out their footing. The one thing that sticks out at this place is its paradoxical nature. Yes folks, we are using the term paradox here. Let me explain, the food is alright. Nothing to write home about, but noting to really complain about either. It's alright. HOWEVER, with that said they think they can charge hefty prices for that alright product. They cannot. Look, I get and encourage the whole minimalistic atmosphere with the buttons on the tables to call servers over. I actually really enjoy that aesthetic as with its oriental inspirations. But, come on people, you can't have your cake and eat it too. This is no fancy sit-down experience coupled with some extravagantly curated cuisine. No this is like the Paisanos (which is next door by the way) of Indian food. I honestly feel as if somebody had that idea in mind and, to be honest, its not a bad one. I do think we need more Indian food places that embrace that paradigm. But it feels like they then did some market research for the item prices and looked at the TOP END section. NO NO NO NO NO. That is not you bud! You must know that too. 5 small pieces of chicken in some par level tikka masala or butter sauce IS NOT WORTH ALMOST 20 BUCKS! Come on, you seriously must know that, right!? So as with any paradox you need to address one of the two sides in some fashion. Either drastically increase the atmosphere and get rid of the call buttons (which will always be indicative of the non-"sitdown" style and thus should honestly cost less, atmosphere) OR get a chef who really knows whats up and make your food unforgettable. I am a big advocate of the latter, but honestly the former is probably easier. Whatever route you decide to take, you do need to take it or else this establishment wont last. There is already another Indian place opening up in Burke and if it either tastes better, looks more cozy, or is cheaper, it will have already won. read more

Paneer Makhani is incredible, their Biryani is also fantastic. Palak dishes leave a little to be desired, I would get something else. Mo Mos are the best I've had outside of Nepal so you know they're good. Peace and love read more

If you haven't had any meals here, you are missing out! This place is great for small groups. My one recommendation is to include nan with the meal. It is a bit pricey on top of the cost of the meal. 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

Ordered Steamed and Chilly momos . Everything tasted great and upto point . Really enjoyed the momos . Definitely recommend it .

Good buffet. Not a huge spread BUT what they have is great for the price. The servers were very professional and courteous. read more

We noticed this restaurant as we were out shopping. Thankfully it is not too far from our home and we will continue to go there. We are vegan and the vegan dishes are clearly marked on their paper menu. We were so happy with our choices. We got the Aloo Gobi, the Tadka Dal, and Chana masala. read more

I went out there for the 2nd time yesterday after I woke up craving their butter chicken, which you can find in their lunch buffet until 3pm. The waitress remembered me from when I first ate here a couple weeks ago with my sister, and she even remembered what I had to drink then too. I had no problem with getting refills in a timely manner. The service was great! I had the buffet and I ordered an order of the samosa off the menu. The naan they placed at my table was perfectly heated and airy. The samosa came in two huge, filling pieces with a sweet sauce and a spice green yogurt sauce on the side. I am obsessed with samosas so I'm really happy to be able to get great ones close to my neighborhood. The buffet had many items, something for everyone. The meat lover I am piled up on the butter chicken, but I also really enjoyed their spinach and potato as well. For dessert they had milk balls, I think they chanced it from some kind of milky rice pudding option earlier. Both were really delicious. The milk balls are like fluffy, hot, doughy, balls that are soaked in syrup. Overall for a work in progress, I think they're doing really well! A lot of improvement from when I first ate here a couple or so weeks ago. I will definitely be back and introducing friends to this promising restaurant. read more

Delivery was expensive, but the food is great and the portions large. Ordered Medium spice and it was just spicy enough without being too hot to eat. The Onion Nan was superb. read more

We ordered veg kurma. The gravy was good but no regular kurma vegetable were put. Instead some tasteless squashes or something was dumped instead of the vegetable that are regularly added like cauliflower, carrots etc. The tandoori rotis were thick and chewy. Disappointed after paying $40 for the order. read more

I am so excited Burke finally has an Indian restaurant! I have been here three times now and I love it. They offer lunch buffet (you can also order off the menu) and in the evening its menu only. They do switch out the dishes in the buffet so there's a great chance you will try something new each time. The selection is not huge but the food is really good (quality over quantity). They bring Naan to your table which is really nice and fluffy. Really recommend this place and hopefully, soon it will be more decorated. I've seen some comments being negative about the lack of decor but I am not sure they realize this place just opened. Plus, you're there for the food, not the decor anyway. read more

I love Indian food. This was not it. The Shrimp Biryani was not very good and had a weird taste to it. Will def be finding a new spot

Curry house is like that dependable family member you really appreciate. Part of the family (because close to us in Burke) and always comes through with exactly what you need. I've had their Vindaloo and Korma style curries. I've had their butter chicken and Tika Marsala dishes as well. Naan is always soft and hot. Lamb biriyani never disappoints either. I really like this place because they just do a solid job. read more

I read some of the other reviews, and I am sorry that people have given this place anything less than five stars. I guess everyone makes a mistake from time to time. We have not had anything bad from this restaurant. The food is delicious, well-cooked, and nicely served. The servers have been attentive to me when I dine in. This place has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. One other thing about reviews. After reading reviews for a long time, some people seem to look to find fault rather than to look for the good or to even be forgiving of mistakes. Try not to let the negative reviews keep you from here. I've tried several different dishes and they have all been excellent. read more

First time. At first tasted fine. Then soon after developed major bloating and discomfort. God knows what they put in dal makhani or the roti. Not good. Not going back. read more

Tonight I got take out from Curry House. It was the first time eating their food. I got the Palak Chana, Butter Chicken, Baingan Bharta, and Naan. Flavors and spice were spot on. My order was ready in 15 minutes and the staff were friendly. They have a large, modern, and clean dining area. I have ordered from other Indian restaurants in the area and Curry House is the best, by far! read more

Before tonight I would have given 4/5 stars. I have really really enjoyed my meals here but today I am sad to say this for the 1st time, meh. The "jumbo shrimp" were non existent and the butter chicken tasted like chicken in creamy tomato soup. Benefit of the doubt, supply chain and staffing issues might be at fault but it's going to be a while before I return. read more

They started their Saturday and Sunday buffet again in February 2023. It was really good with a variety of options including but not limited to: biryani, dal, paneer, chickpeas, naan, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, goat, and tandoori chicken. They also had dessert and chai available. The price was very reasonable and we'll be back! read more

I ordered two orders of vegetable pakora and 1 bhel puri to go. The bhel puri was good but soggy. The pakoras were not edible. Since no one picked up, i emailed them telling them i wanted to bring it back and get a new order. No one ever responded. It was as if the entire batter was just salt. There was no flavor because the salt was so overwhelming. We had to trash the entire thing. read more

The food is fantastic, good price, and great customer service. My husband and I order from this place once a month and the flavor is always on point. read more

Our crü breaks naan together here once a week. We all have to have our favorite fix regularly! They have amazing food and fantastic service! Try the lunch special, you won't be disappointed! My favorite is the lamb vendaloo... mmmm!!! read more

Truly, the best vindaloo i have ever had. Lunch speciala are such a great deal. Big portions for lunch....you won't leave hungry. The naan is thin and crispy...perfectly cooked and very tasty. read more

We found a piece of metal in a curry. When we told this to the waiter, they did nothing about it and didn't even seem apologetic. The food was also bland and unappetizing. We ordered chicken vindaloo and it had no spice. The rice was uncooked we had to return it to order extra naan. We ordered onions and they were strong not sweet onions like in other restaurants. On top of all this it was over priced for the quality and quantity ($16 for vindaloo) of the food. read more
