It was ok. The naan was bomb. The atmosphere a little awkward yet kind. It is a tiny place, you are not meant to sit and enjoy for long. There were a few people waiting to sit as we chatted and it was clear it was time to go. I would say give it a shot. It is a diverse environment with decent food. read more

We eat here a couple times every month. I can tell they use fresh ginger and garlic. Tender meats and paneer. Tons of flavor. Definitely the best in the area! Thanks! read more

Doesn't look very fancy. The interior is a rather small space but the service is great & the food is even better.

What a Joke! Two boxes breaded chicken 2 sauces 2 small rice suppose to be almond chicken and sweet and sour chicken. Expensive no real flavor won't do that again. read more

Excellent foods and cleanliness! Lunch specials are a very good deal. All at my table (5) had good comments about this authentic Indian cuisine. Minor imperfections: 1) Lamb was great, tasty and sauces, but maybe a bit overdone or dry. 2) Amazing attention to cleanliness, better than even some fine dining places - very clean silverware, free of water spots or dullness, clean tables and shiny (even though not new) dishes. This spotlessness however didn't extend to the one bathroom, where water and soap drips have been accumulating on not one but two walls, over time oxidizing from gold to unsightly blackish. 3) server misunderstandings due to language problem - not severe but a bit frustrating. Server also not fully attentive to detail - water glasses left unfilled. But overall, a great meal and a surprise for this unlikely little place. read more

We were hungry and tired and wandered in for the first time last night, expecting no more than the first taste of Indian cuisine since the lockdown. We ordered vegetable samosas, riata, mango lassi, rogan josh, chicken tikka masala and palak paneer. From start to finish, we let out quiet squeals of delight. Even the simple riata was exceptional. Of course there were leftovers and my daughter had the same reaction. The spices were just so perfectly blended! We don't live nearby, but we will happily make the trek back. read more

Yummy food and friendly service. The lunch buffet was a great way to try a variety of menu items to see which ones I enjoyed. They were all good. read more

nothing fancy, but everything is incredibly tasty. butter chicken was so good that even my very picky kids liked it. they have like 17 variations of naan & they're all very good. samosas were to die for. read more

Through other Yelpers and my own questions, I now know that the head chef of Curry Corner along with the friendliest wait staff at Curry Corner (head chef's wife, I believe?) are behind the new restaurant, Curry House. She was a standout while working at Curry Corner, and she brings her natural friendliness to the front of house at Curry House. I went in at an odd hour on a Sunday (early early dinner hour) and was the only customer, and felt right at home. She even recognized me from my frequent visits to Curry Corner. On to the meal! I ordered the vegetarian special, and it was very delicious. Navrattan Korma and Palak Paneer, with the most tender paneer I think I've ever had. This included a small side of Raita which was not salty at all, letting the yogurt do the talking, and was absolutely perfect. I have had some fairly salty orders of Raita at other places, so this was very refreshing. Also, the chai I love is back! The right amount of spices in there with the sweetness. Nectar of the gods on a cold, rainy, windy Sunday. The amounts of the two "mains" were heaping! Normally, I'm a quality over quantity guy, but if the quality is already good, more quantity does not hurt one bit. More grade-A takeaway. All in all, I have two complaints. One, I didn't starve myself all weekend in anticipation so I could have eaten more. And two, they chose Lacey instead of Tumwater, where I live and work. It's alright though. As the smallest violin plays just for me I will be making the drive out to Curry House in Lacey whenever I need my Indian fix, and it will be worth it! Curry House is great, folks. That's all there is to it. Customer service that leaves nothing wanting, and solid food with the flavors you crave. Now I just need to get hungry again so I can do some more menu exploration. read more

I am delighted to see that over the last couple of months they have been getting steadily better, and much more consistent. The "extra hot" is still annoyingly inconsistent, but the quality of the food is high and remains so. The paratha have a really wonderful flavour, and while they're different to most paratha I've had (or made) by virtue of being quite thick, they're seriously enjoyable overall. The paratha are also absolutely fantastic eaten with the palak paneer, which has a similar sort of hearty, earthy, hearth-forged sort of taste, a robustness that just doesn't quit. The salty lassi is still the best in Olympia, if the plainest. Reminds me of a very well-chilled ayran as much as anything. I can't vouch for the meat dishes, but the carnivorous sort I've dragged yonder have claimed they're good, which I believe. The rice is also a highlight, as it used to be at Curry Corner. Simple, flavourful; holding the tension between understated and overstated, it simply makes its case. The rice at Sri's is more flavourful by virtue of more whole spices and whatnot being cooked-in, but I would hesitate to say that Sri's rice was better. The texture at Curry House is consistently-perfect, too. They've certainly found their footing, and are turning out good food. It's not very dumbed-down, but I do wish it were a little more aggressively-Punjabi and slightly less nondescript and unchallenging. I have no complaints about the food as it is, I just wish there were a greater variety of it to try, and a wider range of tastes and textures contained within. Which is a pretty good problem to have. No question that this is the best Indian restaurant in Thurston County outside of Tumwater, and the best Punjabi in Thurston County. Sri's is so sublime if you're eating the Andhra food, but if you want Punjabi, it has to be Curry House. read more

this is it. this is the Rocky Balboa of Indian Restaurants. Curry Corner was sold and the owners opened up Curry House. The ambience is slightly lost with the new location but the food is just like it always was: amazing. and also, unlike Curry Corner, there is no awkward wait staff pushing refills on your drinks every 2 minutes... read more

What makes this place a standout is the juicy and tender meat. That and a mouth watering variety of stuffed naan. The kashmiri naan (raisins and nuts) is excellent. I'm looking forward to the chicken, cheese, and onion stuffed ones on the next visits. read more

Curry House - Tandoori chicken - Indian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I was SHOCKED by how amazing the food was at the curry house I was in a state of euforia as I endulged in the spicy chicken curry I ordered and the mildly spicy chicken masala my girlfriend ordered. I loved every bite. I would consider myself a somewhat expierenced curry connesior by now and this is definitely some of the best I've ever eaten. I can only imagine, they realize the bar has been set exceptionally high by their counterparts curry corner less than a mile a way. Nonetheless I deem both restuarants worthy of 5 stars. Exceptional service and the best curry in town! read more

The dangerous part about this place is how close it is to where I live. Price was pretty hefty, but then again the food was absolutely worth it. Delicious Indian food that's local, comes with big servings and is served super quick. We were not there longer than about 10 mins before we received all of our food. The service was also very nice, she had good recommendations and checked up on us often. Worth your time and money and is small enough that it will never be too crowded. read more

Now that I have found Curry House, my cravings for Indian food are now satisfied. This gem in the South Sound is a bit hidden, but well worth the drive off the main road. The Chicken Curry and Chicken Tikka Masala are delicious, and I always order it with Garlic Naan. During lunch, their specials are cheap and they give you a lot, Be prepared to save some for the next meal! read more

We stopped in on our trip north to Seattle to avoid rush hour traffic near Tacoma/Seattle. We love Indian and saw the good reviews. We were a little nonplussed with the location and ambiance. We have definitely encountered Indian restaurants in strip malls before, but often the interior decor is a little more ... ummm... decorated. The staff were very friendly and helpful and for that, we can understand how they have a loyal customer base. We felt very welcomed and well taken care of during our visit. We ordered the cucumber, olive, tomato and lettuce salad (dressing on the side), vegetable pakora appetizer, Chicken Nirvana medium spicy and Chicken Korma mild. The salad was very large and the serving of dressing was more than adequate. My toddler happily ate the salad ingredients individually. The pakora was a small portion, and the sauces that it was served with were strangely (artificially) colored. But for the price, it was an adequate serving. I have had better pakora appetizers at other Indian restaurants though. (These had LOTS of chickpea flour and the vegetable selection was limited). We were a little confused that the dinner came with rice OR naan... usually dinner entrees are served with both. We ordered rice with one dish and a side of Naan (which was just one piece) to fill out the dinner. The chicken Nirvana was a standard curry - texture was a little "curdled/chunky" - instead a smooth texture like you get with a tikka masala or butter chicken. I wouldn't order it again. But it wasn't bad... just not my thing. My friend enjoyed her chicken korma, and it was pleasantly mild and creamy. Fit the bill. We just didn't understand how the Yelp reviews for this place were so high - as we would hardly rate it a 5-star experience. read more

I LOVE Indian food... and this ain't it. I just moved here from Virginia where we had an amazing Indian food place just around the corner. Trying to find a new Indian place here in Virginia so we tried the Curry House based on Yelp reviews. This would be a case where you should not trust the reviews. The thing I oh so love about Indian food are the spices and flavors. Even if you get the non-spicy (hot) versions it is still going to be a flavor explosion in your mouth. This place is about as bland as they come. Started with the Buttery Chicken. This is normally one of my favorite dishes. The creamy blend of butter, tomato, spices... just magical. The stuff at the Curry House was really just tomato sauce. I'd not be surprised if you found jars of a basic tomato sauce in their back room. There was no flavor to it beyond some bland tomato. Next, the Chicken Tika Masala that seems to have gotten great reviews here. It was marginally better than the butter chicken. There was a bit more flavor to it, but not much. There was none of the layered spice flavors that have permeated all the other Indian food I have had. It was better than the tomato sauce chicken, but not by much. Finally, the naan. Arguably the best part of any meal with Indian food is the excuse to have that fluffy flat bread. Except when it is not fluffy, and rather dense. But if you get the garlic and cilantro stuff it will taste good right? No, not really. Once again, rather underwhelming in the taste category, even when you get the garlic stuff. I don't know what other reviewers are thinking, but I'm not planning on going there again. They are just a few minutes from my house, and I'll drive 15 or more minutes to the next closest place because this is just not worth it. read more

Best Indian food in the Oly/Lacey/Tumwater area. Fresh, quality food. Clean. Great buffet. Location could be better.

Best Indian food! Very authentic and great/friendly service! Butter chicken is to die for!!!

Lunch specials are good here. Good variety and portion size. In my most recent visit, I had the lamb vindaloo lunch special ($9.50). Dinner is quite expensive and portion sizes are smaller. Would recommend coming here for lunch. read more

Curry House - Indian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

See all

I used to think I didn't like curry... But I've figured out, I just only like good curry. This is good curry. I got the lunch special and it was very generous. Lamb curry is very good. This place should get 4.75 stars... The deduction taken off only because they don't have good English descriptions of the food, so I had to ask many questions to be clear about what I was ordering. read more

first impressions, The place was very small, but they have plenty of room for a lot of people and the waitresses were very nice. Along with the food, it was very organized. the mango/smoothie drink, was super delicious too. read more

I've been to Curry House twice now, both times ordering the huge Vegetarian Curry House Special- Navrattan Korma, Palak Paneer, Dal, Basmati Rice, Naan, Raita and Rice Pudding for 14.95. Both times, the service was fast and friendly. I made two full meals out of it, both times, and I don't eat like a bird! My first visit was definitely a 5-star, shortly after they opened. Amazingly flavorful food, huge portions, busy dining room, but quick service. I'm giving 4 stars, because my food was not very flavorful on the second visit. I mean, it was still good, but it was definitely not what I had on the first visit. Maybe there is a new chef? I will go back and I will update this review if the food is as amazing as it was the first time, if not, I will stick with my usual Curry Corner, which is the best Indian in the area. read more

Amazingly good food. Spiced and cooked beautifully. I had the non-vegetarian Curry House special with lamb and it was absolutely delicious. However... The server was -terrible.- She walked by at least five times while I was sitting and waiting for my tea to be refilled, then another five times after the first refill for another. She never came to check up on us; we had to flag her down for extra napkins. She stood at the front desk while we, the only customers, could have definitely used a little attention. Come for the food but don't expect any sort of promptness in service. read more

This was our first experience with Indian food. It was so so good. The staff is very help full. We told them to pick us an appetizer and pretty much let them pick our dinner, It was amazing! We went back 2 weeks later and brought friends who also loved it. We will be regulars! read more

Rates a zero in the decor and ambiance department but damn, the food is good and the people who work there are very sweet, helpful, and accommodating. Love the Butter Chicken. Love the Lamb Korma. (Love Korma anything!) Love the Tikka Masala, and more. And you can't beat the lunch special. It's a huge institutional metal platter with compartments full to over flowing with your choice of a meat curry, a vegetable curry, a vegetable dish, daal (lentils), and a classic soupy Indian rice pudding. I'm not big on the daal and love the rice pudding so, for me, they skip the daal and give me extra pudding. I've learned to eat half of what is put before me and take the rest home for later. (Thanks to Nhoj K. for letting me know that the original Curry Corner folks now run Curry House! It all makes sense now.) I'd give it 5 stars if the ambiance wasn't quite so . . . . sterile . read more

I'm a newbie when it comes to Indian food. I ordered the chicken tikka marsala with vegetable korma, and vegetable samosas. The first thing that came out was the vegetable samosas. They were so good!!! I could eat these all day. I added some of the spicy sauce with it too. The chicken tikka marsala was a little sweet compared to what I've tried at different restaurants, not sure it that's normal. The plus is that it was a huge portion! I took most of my food home. The naan seemed to be a little bit burned. The service here was just ok. It took them awhile to take our order because they assumed we wanted to wait till our whole party showed up. Also, we had to ask them for our checks after being done for awhile. Don't know if I would come back here, but I will try Indian food again. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I used to go just for the Rasmalai, a milky, floral dessert. The most unique dessert I've ever had. It's pricey - $5 for two Rasmalai's. If it were a bit cheaper, I'd get this ALL the time. The lunch specials are cheap $8.95 and they're HUGE. I ate with my sister and we still had a huge amount left over. I especially loved the vegetable korma. They serve it with a side of sweet rice pudding. The garlic naan is perfect and also gigantic. It's super clean and the employees are nice. There's a shelf of Indian products available for purchase near the cash register. Awesome! read more

Great authentic Indian food at such a small place between two big cities. On the way to Portland from Seattle this is the best place to have Indian food. Lunch buffet has multiple options for every taste buds I would recommend this place any day over other cuisines available in this area. Chicken curry is a must try here :) read more

The food is amazing. The lunch combos are a great value, alot of good food for the price. Love the Tika Masala, The Naan would be perfect but all of ours had at least one side burnt but that didn't ruin anything for us. My kids loved the rice pudding dish as well. Besides the food being great the service and atmosphere are very welcoming. Will always go back. read more

Curry House - $16 non-vegetarian combo with Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Curry, Tika Masala & Rice pudding Served w/ Rice. Super Delicious! - Indian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I have been here twice now and I've had the non-vegetarian combination plate and it is DELICIOUS. I'm glad that they have an entrance that isn't open to the robe because the embarrassment of waddling out to my car is never a concern. The food is cooked well and the rice pudding is wonderful. The hostess is super nice and the service is delicious. I'd order the dishes separately but the combination plate is already way to big to eat for one and gives you a good sampling of all the different kinds of foods they do offer. If you're in the mood for a plethora of flavors, go here for a delicious of mix of foods. read more

Honestly, I've never eaten inside. I've only ever ordered take out. The food is AMAZING! The best Indian food I've tasted here in Thurston County. Of course, we of Thurston County aren't blessed with many high end Indian food places, so of course, I've had better, but it's still delicious and the best in the area. I can't speak about the service except to say that they're polite over the phone when I order and my husband says they are nice in person, too, when he picks up the order. My favorite things to order here are the Vegetable Korma, the Chicken Tikka Masala, the Butter Chicken, the lamb curry and the naan. read more

The food was great and the people friendly - as soon as we walked in we were seated even though it was 6:00 on a Friday night! Which isn't to say it wasn't busy. Its not a large restaurant, but pretty full so I'm guessing its getting more popular! After we looked at the menu, we were asked what we wanted to drink and the nice lady (I'm guessing she is a manager or owner) suggested chai, which we both had and it was delicious!!! And pretty inexpensive at only 1.25! I ordered the okra in curry sauce (I forgot the specific name now... Sorry!) and my husband, who had never had any sort of Indian food, ordered the Butter chicken, both at medium spiciness. I think both dishes were around $10 together and came with rice or naan. We also got cheese naan. The dishes came out within 10 or so minutes and with a lot of lightly seasoned rice. Overall, it was really delicious. The okra and veggies were all crunchy and flavourful, while the butter chicken had a lot of meat in it (which my husband liked) and wasn't too sweet. As far as the spiciness goes, I didn't find it spicy at all so I would probably go up next time. It sounds like its a little bit unpredictable when it comes to the spicy system, so maybe that factors in. There was a ton of food also, so we both ended up taking about half of our portion home to eat for later (awesome lunch!!!!). The total bill was about 30 with tip, which was worth it since we had a lunch the next day. This restaurant made my husband an Indian food fan and so I think its definitely worth the while if you are craving it. While I am no expert on food, I would recommend it as well. I thought it was awesome and the service is great! The people who served us were really nice and helpful, which makes me want to go back even more. Highly recommended! :) read more

I usually go to Curry Corner down the street but it's closed on Mondays. I decided to go to Curry House and give it a try. The service was quick and friendly and the food was good. The butter chicken was a little more tangy than buttery which is why I gave it a 4/5. When Curry Corner is closed, I found a place to hold me over. I Just Wont Do The Butter Chicken Because It Is In No Comparison To Curry Corner. read more

This is easily my favorite Indian restaurant! My partner and I are big fans of the butter chicken and the naan, the rice varieties are also wonderful. We usually order the butter chicken along with another entree we have not eaten before; I trust these chefs!! My partner is not a fan of spice so we always get the 1 star level and he loves it, when I eat alone I go with level 2 or level 3 with an extra side of naan! I have yet to put something in my mouth, from here, that isn't tasty. Give the mango lassi a try! read more

I've eaten here three times now, and all times I got their lunch specials which are under $10. You get a TON of food for that price, I can barely finish all the food on the tray. I get the lamb curry and my vegetable of choice is the Aloo Gobi. (Cauliflower/Potatoes in curry). Everything is spiced perfectly and the flavors are amazing. I usually get medium for heat and it's just perfect, enough kick but your mouth doesn't explode in flames. Add a huge, fresh piece of Naan to the meal, and you are fat and happy for hours. The staff is always friendly and your meal comes out piping hot every time. Some days for dessert you get a nice creamy rice pudding, and other times you get a little cake ball soaked in syrup. They both were tasty and a nice finish to a spicy meal. This place blows away any other Indian restaurants. read more

Oh, man... I love this place. The one downside: I tend to spend more here than I hoped when I walked in. I wish I could afford to eat here more often. (I usually say this about my favorite $$ places) I had the chicken curry (medium spicy) with garlic naan and rice pudding. I should probably branch out, engage my curiosity a bit, but I just keep ordering this because for me it's hit the spot. I probably would have left a 4-star rating, except that the last time I came in I was just grabbing take out because I was sick (don't worry, I didn't touch anything or sneeze). The staff seemed to sense this and were incredibly kind - they even seemed to step up the speed and service despite it being late/close to closing. That kind of thing leaves an impression. read more

I am liking this place! Visited with a friend a couple weeks ago- weeknight, close to closing time. There were about 3 folks working, all looking like family. Ordered the pakora, garlic naan and cheese stuffed naan, and 2 orders of chicken tikka masala at varying spice levels. Food arrived pretty fast, and was really good! I would recommend the pakora over the naan, and the garlic naan over the stuffed, but really it was all good. My only gripe is that when we asked for the check to be split it was done incorrectly and both my friend and I got overcharged. However we didn't notice until we were in the car and of course the restaurant was closed... so I'll pay better attention next time. Can't wait to visit again to get my fix :) read more

Curry House - Chicken curry - Indian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Still open during quarantine and serving the best Indian food in town. The restaurant is clean and the staff are all very careful in the way that they handle your food. They have a 10% military discount but what keeps my wife and I coming back is the food. There are too many to list but some of my favorites are the aloo tikki, tandoori chicken, and the malai kofta. Each entree comes with a huge serving of rice, not the tiny container that some places give you. Also, the rice is delicious and we use it for other meals throughout the week. I've tried every Indian restaurant in Thurston County and can honestly say that Curry House is by far the best. You won't be disappointed. read more
