This was our first time trying Curry in a Hurry, and overall it was good for a Bakersfield establishment.if you have time read this review, do so before you go pay a visit. We started with the mini samosas which came with a sweet sauce, these are very good and it was for two for me two for the lady. 4/5 stars My wife ordered the butter chicken and the curry chicken with vegetables and rice, ans Naan. The flavor of the butter chicken was good, but with the amount of sauce they give you, there was maybe 2 ounces of chicken in the entire dish -- and I'm probably being generous. It honestly felt more like butter chicken soup than butter chicken,my wife liked it alot.. 3/5 stars for portion 5/5 stars for taste . [ ] My wife enjoyed her rice with vegetables and each plate came with a naan serving and we both gave them they tasted fresh they had garlic sauce that complimented the meal.5/5 stars That said, I've had much better butter chicken and curry chicken in Los Angeles, New York, London and Switzerland for the same money or less and with larger portions of chicken. I thought my rice would be dry,(and I was right) I ordered an extra side of butter chicken sauce for it. Had I known just how much sauce came with my wife's meal, I could have saved a few bills and just used some of hers.1/5 stars for costing me extra cash. The rice was... rice. It didn't seem to have any seasoning or flavor and I found a few crunchy bits. Maybe it had been sitting in the pot a little too long. 2/5 stars The BBQ chicken. I ordered the double BBQ chicken, and unlike most places, it came without sauce. Normally that would have disappointed me, but this turned out to be some of the best BBQ chicken I've had from any Indian restaurant or food truck. First of all, it was made fresh to order. The seasoning on this chicken was carefully crafted by the chef to let each spice stand out without overpowering the others. It was genuinely outstanding, great actually. In fact, it was so good that I came back on another day just to order it again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. It was just as good the second time. 5/5 stars just differently amazing. My wife wants to come back, and honestly I was pretty against the idea after the first visit. Still, based on that BBQ chicken alone, I'm willing to give them another full try. If the rest of the menu improves on a second visit, I may come back and update this review with a higher score. Overall: 3/5 stars. There were simply too many lower variables during this visit for me to rate it any higher this time around. read more

I can't express enough, how grateful I am to have found Curry in a Hurry! This place is perfect! Pam was so kind when I came in. She Greeted me, explained the concept and got my order together. I ordered the butter chicken bowl with rice and added the veggies. I also got the garlic naan which was so divine! The restaurant itself is smaller than I thought, but that's the least of the review. The food is absolutely amazing! So flavorful, big portions, but be careful with that chili oil tho! The restaurant is clean. Prices are fair too. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Curry In A Hurry - Indian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I've eaten at many Indian restaurants across the country, including Artesia's famous Pioneer Boulevard--Little India of America. With that experience in mind, I can confidently say Curry in a Hurry here in Bakersfield is something special. Their chicken tikka masala is one of the very best I've ever had--spot on, rich with flavor, clearly cooked with love, and true to a traditional recipe. You can taste the care and authenticity in every bite. Beyond the food, the place is fresh, welcoming, and run by genuinely friendly people. It's a gem that deserves attention, and I would highly encourage anyone to give it a try. Whether you're new to Indian cuisine or a longtime fan, you'll leave impressed. read more

I ordered on DoorDash but was told by the owner to order from their website to get the better prices. That was very nice of him. The store is close to where I work so I decided to try it out. The food is delicious! I got the peanut chicken and butter curry chicken. Both were amazing. The garlic Naan is perfect with the meal. When I went inside to pick up my order I noticed the store is wonderfully kept. Everything is clean and orderly. The counters are clear and the glass protecting the food is crystal clear. I really liked this place and I will definitely come back. read more

As soon as you walk in wonderful aromas greet you. You are able to give some of the foods a try before you order so that's nice if you've never had it. They do a great job at explaining that this is the chipotle of Indian food. Everything is phenomenal. read more

As an Indian food lover this place is ideal. When I walked in I was provided with the perfect description-think of it like a chipotle for Indian food! That's exactly what it is. Your base is standard rice veggie and naan and then you have options of 8 varieties for mains from curries to bbq chicken. While not everything was available on the spot they assured me if I wanted something not on the hot line it could be whipped up shortly. I also ordered a side of veggie samosas which were minis. I'm used to the full version. Price was a little high with slightly less meat in the curry portion but taste was great. Everything was clean and fast. read more

My daughter and I went for an early dinner. It has a cute small dining area with some outside seating. We were warmly greeted and they explained the menu. As a vegan, I was happy that the naan could be made without butter. I had the potato and cauliflower with rice and vegetables. My daughter had butter chicken with rice and vegetables. We also had an order of vegetable samosas. Everything was delicious! Mildly seasoned but the addition of their chili oil added the right amount of heat. The owners were personable and gracious. The food was hot and fresh. read more

Curry In A Hurry - Naan - Indian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Thanks to Yelp, I heard about Curry in a Hurry and decided to try it for myself. It was such a great experience! The store is very clean and the service was wonderful. The woman who took my order was very helpful in explaining their menu. I was able to sample the items that I was interested in before placing my order. I decided on the butter chicken. It was very mild, but they offer a side of chili oil if you want to add some spice to it. Warning: it is VERY spicy, so a little goes a long way. Adding some in definitely brought the dish altogether for me. It's convenient that you can adjust the spice to your personal preference. I can't wait to come back here again!

My son and I have been curious about Curry in a Hurry for a few months. Tonight we decided to give it a try. We didn't know what to expect or exactly how to order. The lovely woman behind the counter greeted us with a friendly smile and some samples. You order just like you would Panda Express or Chipotle. The menu was easy to read and not overwhelming. The restaurant was extremely clean, the food was fresh and delicious, and the employees were very attentive. Even the music was good! We had bite sized samosas with very tasty dipping sauces, too. Oh, and, the prices were quite reasonable. We should have got the CinnaNaan to-go. Overall, really good experience! We'll be back! read more

Amazing curry! It's not your traditional style of curry, but it's even better. As someone who loves Indian food, I was hesitant when they told me it wasn't traditional, however the flavors that hit you are out of this world. Additionally, the service is amazing as the young lady that greets you is kind and takes her time explaining how the orders are made. 10/10 recommend this spot read more

Curry In A Hurry - Indian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

When they say they are Americanised Indian food , they are right. No taste , no flavor. The butter chicken sauce is really runny, like water . Didn't have the creamy texture or color of butter chicken. No flavor at all. The Naan was less then tasty . Just plain Naan with a dab of garlic plopped In the middle. Fired cheese tikka masala, was just ok. But better then then the butter chicken . No reason to ever go back. Very pricey . Small portions for the price. Go to any Indian restaurant order off the menu. You will get quality taste and left overs . read more

Curry in a Hurry is pretty great! I really like the concept of having a fast choice for this sort of grub. The naan is fantastic and they cook it to order on this cool circular machine. It's so very steamy, hot and yummy. They have these little baby samosas, chicken and veg., they aren't homemade, but still pretty good. The butter chicken is really good. I love that they have Stubborn Soda in 4 flavors, it's one of my faves. They have limited seating, but it's easy to take away too! I love the signage on the parking outside and the patio seating is pretty nice, as soon as it cools down a bit, I'm sure it will be getting some use. I will definitely be back. read more

Fantastic food and service. It wasn't very busy but I imagine it will pick up. Hidden gem.

First time comming here, ordered a bowl of butter chicken with rice and veggies; it was surprisingly filling for the size. Super delicious, my only critic would be that I wish there was more chicken. It definitely felt like there was more sauce than chicken. Their chilli oil is also really good and spicy. Service was quick and the worker was very helpful and kind. read more

Clean place and friendly service. The best dish I've tried is the potatoes/cauliflower. It was cooked fresh and had the most spice and depth of flavor of all the dishes that I've gotten there. The 3 chicken dishes in sauce are not the best or most authentic. They are all very bland, almost sweet, and the chicken has a texture unlike any Indian food I've ever had. I enjoyed the rice, veggies, naan, and mini samosas (but they aren't as good as regular sized samosas). Their portions are very small for the price you pay. The tamarind and mint chutney are delicious, but you literally get like a teaspoon of each in the little cup, even when you pay for extra. read more

The food has been made very Americanized. However, they have all the things to make it taste authentic. They are catering to the masses, but if you ask them to make it spicy or full of flavor, they have that ability. Super friendly, clean and really fair on their price. read more

Friday night rolls around and the wife and I are running errands after work , so that means we need to find a spot to eat! I love indian/punjabi food. Spice and spicy food is delicious! We have been to a few Indian restaurants in town, and even a few trucks. Curry in a Hurry is near our area and we decided to give it a whirl. It is located in the same area as mimosa cafe, shermin williams and lengthwise. Plenty of parking. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Brigh and Arvin (the owner). Like others have mentioned it is definitely a chipotle/victors/panda style. You pick the Portion you want : bowl, 2 item plate or 3 item plate. Each one automatically comes with rice and your choice of garlic or butter Naan. If you are new to indian food and are not sure what to try the employees will guide you and you can also sample any of the items. They had several dishes to choose from(see photos) . Every item was there minus the BBQ chicken, as that was still cooking and it takes a bit longer. I went with the Panang chicken curry and the beef and peas. I was in the mood for a lentil dish and they don't have one but suggested the garbanzo beans. They were so good I got a side of them to dip my Naan in. I did mention to the Brigh that I love spice and she did state the food is milder to accommodate the majority of customers BUT they have chili oil for you to add and spice it up. My wife got the Cauliflower and potatoes, butter chicken and Tikka Masala. My favorite was a Tie between the panang curry , the peanut butter sauce and chicken/veggies were great! Second favorite was the butter chicken. Very tender chunks of meat, nice hint of sweet and I added the chili sauce to it. Bomb! Beef and peas were good, but not as great as the other dishes. The wifey's favorites were the butter chicken and garbanzo beans. Speaking with Arvin the owner, he let me know that all of the items and sauces are made in house. The fact that they were able to do that, mainstream it to be quick, and still taste good is impressive! Price point was pretty cheap. It was only 30$. Scoreeee! This is a very easy, affordable and good option when we are busy or want to eat out. Plus i still think it's pretty healthy. Rice and chicken. Carbs and protein! Please keep in mind this is not going to be 100% authentic. I don't go to taco bell expecting tacos like the ones in mexico, or go to panda for authentic chinese. read more

Curry in a Hurry is a new Chipotle-like American Indian fast food! You get to choose from rice or naan to their entrees. They also give out tastings of their food before you put your foot down for yours! We ended up deciding on two entrees and a side. We got garlic naan, butter chicken, and the fried paneer. The garlic naan could have been cooked a little more and the flavor was lacking. It needed more garlic to make it actually taste like a garlic naan. The fried paneer was really good, I like the butter chicken sauce but the chicken was a little lacking in flavor. The whole idea is very fascinating! They are a new business and even asked us for advice moving forward. It was good! read more

Tried Curry in a Hurry for the first time this week and it was sooo good, we will definitely be back! I had a plate with Tikka Masala Chicken and Curry Chicken, while my husband had Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala Chicken. All three were amazing. The customer service was excellent. The woman helping us offered us samples and also chili oil. The food was not spicy at all in our opinion, but loved that we could add chili oil if we desired. The naan was huge! My husband and I easily shared one and had more for later. Highly recommend and will absolutely be back! read more

This is an amazing curry place! I absolutely loved it! The food was made fresh and prepared with great care, within a timely matter. The portions and the prices balance out perfectly. The customer service was very helpful and insightful. They have different types of curry for every pallet. They're not too spicy, but if you want to kick it up a notch, they have sauces to match every discerning pallet. I went for a very spicy, of course. I loved every bite, including the dessert. It was very flaky and sweet and very sticky. The ambience was very calm and inviting. The entire restaurant is extremely clean and very well maintained. The style of modern with little industrial additives are amazing. The restroom was beautifully designed. The sconces and the Edison bulbs are a perfect touch, with the perfect balance of metal and wood. The design of the whole restaurant was made with extreme care and great detail, with the balance of the excellent customer service. I'll definitely be returning again. I highly recommend this restaurant. I thank them for this amazing experience. read more

This restaurant replaced a sandwich place I really liked... No hard feelings though! I tried their food and I have to say, it's really good as far as Indian fare goes. My choice was the chicken Masada and the chicken curry. Both were flavorful, and left me wanting more. That was pretty much my only complaint really- the portions aren't very big and I was hungry again not too long after. read more

Ideal lunch spot with filling bowls and plates of Indian food! I order online for pick up and my food was ready when I arrived and the staff was friendly giving me extra chili and plastic wear. When I got my order home I tried my bowl of butter chicken. The veggies, sauce, and rice were all great and filling. The garlic naan is pretty moist but covered in garlic and butter so that's a huge plus! Garlic lovers will be thrilled. My only issue was that the chicken itself was strange. The bites of chicken were rough? Not sure how to explain it but it felt crispy under the sauce and was not the chicken texture you'd expect or want in an Indian dish. I'll try this place again though and hope it was just a weird one time thing. I didn't finish the chicken because to me the texture made it inedible. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for awhile because it's a few doors down from my work and I was so pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is immaculate and clean, even the restrooms. The woman who greeted me was so friendly and informative. Very nice woman. The food is amazing, the samosas were crispy on the outside and soft inside and the sauce was really fresh tasting. Garlic naan made right in front if me to order (I got extra). All 4 curry dishes were excellent. Next time I will order with a bit more spice since you can customize your spice levels. Even mild it was really flavorful and very saucy which I love because gotta have that extra that to dip the naan in! Overall it was a great choice for a quick affordable take out lunch. I will definitely be back and recommend to others. read more

Food is great for being a quick stop Chipotle-style Indian restaurant! Simple menu that offers exactly what you'd like. The restaurant is very small. Naan was good! If you're craving Indian food that you can get quick, I highly recommend! The only sort of bummer was the owner just standing there in the back of the restaurant fiddling with something and occasionally looking up at us while his mother waited on us, asked us how we found out about the place, and made sure we had what we needed. She said she was there to help him. We were the only people in the restaurant for about 30 mins. But, his mother was delightful, he is blessed to have her! Would have been nice to speak to the owner and feel appreciated too. I will give this restaurant 5 stars despite this because of her! If we would have been welcomed by ownership, I would give 5 stars without hesitation. read more

Dropped in for lunch last week and got a plate so I could try a few different things. The staff is beyond friendly and they are great at explaining the concept. The food isn't traditional Indian it's Americanized and it's less intense on heat but they give you chili oil if you want to spice your food up a bit. I tried the fried cheese masala and the chicken curry. Food came up quick and the masala was made fresh so that's a definite plus. The flavor is really good and the chili oil adds a nice kick to the food I think it's a great compliment. If I have one criticism it's the portion size is a little on the small side. I had maybe 4 pieces of fried cheese in the masala and the chicken curry had a few small pieces of chicken, there was a lot more onion slices in the curry than there was chicken. The rice is good and I really enjoyed the garlic naan. Up that portion size a bit and it would be a true home run for me. I'm sure I'll be back again because the flavor is definitely there and I'd recommend trying it out if you haven't already. read more

Walking in, It's a cute and cozy restaurant. Some tables and chairs and I saw an outdoor patio. The smell in the air awakened my senses. You can sample the food so that's a plus. It was hard to hear the lady through the glass because it was a little loud but my son and I managed. Food was delicious, especially when dipping the garlic naan bread into the sauce, yumarooski!!! read more

Enjoyed bowl of chicken tiki marsala and a plate of butter chicken with Naan, rice, and veggies. I really enjoyed the butter chicken. The sauces are not hot, but you can ask for chili oil to spice it up. Prices are in line with other fast casual establishments. The workers were super sweet and would answer any questions. I was impressed that they use real spices and not from a can. I was only disappointed in the samosas as they were the size of a half dollar, but I liked the tamarind sauce. If you are new to Indian curry, this is a great first try, or you like curry and you want a fast lunch. Give them a try. There is plenty of free parking and two doors down from Lengthwise. read more

Curry In A Hurry - They make the sauces - Indian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I saw that this place opened up near my house and wanted to try it because I really enjoy Indian food. It was nice that I could order for pick up online. I ordered the friend cheese tikka masala and buttered chicken plate. My wife ordered the fried cheese tikka masala bowl and our son got the beef and potato bowl. My wife and I thought that the fried cheese tikka masala was good, but we didn't feel it was special. This would have been only been a 4 star review, but I'm so glad I ordered the butter chicken. The butter chicken was 5 star for me and my wife. He was enjoying her choice until I told her to try my butter chicken. She took one bite and her jaw dropped. The chicken had a crispy texture and great flavor, even though it sat in the sauce as I drove the 10 minutes back to my house from the restaurant. The flavor of the sauce was so good that my wife kept dipping her garlic naan into my sauce as we ate. I will probably be back to try their other foods, but I will definitely always order the butter chicken. As my wife said, the tikka masala was good, but the butter chicken is definitely 5 star. It's been a day since I ordered, and writing this review it making me crave that butter chicken right now. The storefront is small with limited seating, so I would suggest ordering online and getting it to go if it's for more than just 1 or 2 people. The service was a little slow, but I also got there at the same time as two other couples/families and this is a new place, so that was understandable. I'm sure they'll be faster as they get up and running. read more
