Amazing food! Probably the best curry I've had since moving to SoCal!! The buffet is amazing and has a huge variety of curries to choose from. Free sodas, free waters, you can even have a free Mango Lassi with the buffet ( I think the limit on the Lassi is 2) but you can't beat the price. The buffet right now is $18 all day! And look at all the food options. I love this place! Also everyone who has served us has been very friendly, the Music is nice and it's a nice peaceful place to eat. read more

This recommendation is for their mango lassa only. A mango lassa at most Indian restaurants is $4.00 and above. Some places it is above $5.00. This place is aycd. I drank three glasses. The buffet is $18.00 plus tax and tip, so it came to be $22.00. I still think that it is ok in term of value. Now the foods...I have been taught if I have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Therefore, I will hold my tongue on this one. Actually, this say more about this restaurant's cooking more than anything else. If you want to find out about their foods. Go into try it. At least, the mango lassa makes the cost of the buffet a value buy. Ray out. read more

Curry India Bistro - A plate - Indian Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Solid Indian restaurant with a buffet. My friend and I came here during a weekend lunch, a little bit later than a traditional lunch and there weren't many other diners there, so no wait, no hassle. The worker was friendly and welcoming in getting us seated and answering any questions we had. Very spacious inside and perfect for a fancier event or if you need to book a banquet space. Nice splash of red and there's regular tables and semi circular booth tables which is nice. The hot buffet takes up an entire corner and side, so a lot of good choices and variety. Super flavorful curries and stews, meat was moist and good quality, and a good variety of carbs to enjoy the previously listed foods with (naan and basmati rice). I really enjoyed their chicken dishes here and the many, many ways that it's prepared. Get a little bit of everything to try. I liked the chicken tikka masala and butter chicken (I know, pretty basic, but they're solid staples) and spicy marinated chicken cubes. There's desserts to end the meal as well. Some of the goat dishes were a bit tougher and just okay to me and some things did look like they were out for a bit longer (drier), but eventually they were changed out and refreshed. All the food was seasoned with lots of spices for a complex depth of flavor. Our stomachs were grumbling when we were done eating (not in a sick or painful way, but in a way that was different for us). Good stuff. read more

When I called to place a takeout order, the gentleman asked me to come in and order in person, saying, "The girl will pack it up right away." That clue should've warned me to go elsewhere. When I arrived, there was only one family dining in the restaurant, and the gentleman who took my order was very polite. One thing that stood out was that I wasn't asked what spice level I wanted. As he packed my order, he mentioned that he included extra samosas because they were small, and he also said something about the curry being better than the vindaloo. I didn't hear him clearly, thanked him, and headed home. After unpacking the food, I realized he had simply substituted our vindaloo with chicken curry without asking me to make the change. We ordered vindaloo because that is what we wanted. If the restaurant was out of it, the appropriate thing to do would have been to ask whether we wanted to choose something else or cancel that item. Deciding for the customer and swapping in a completely different dish is simply not acceptable. The experience also made me wonder whether some of the food had simply been scooped from what was left on the buffet rather than prepared fresh. The curry and samosas tasted as though they had been sitting for a long time. The garlic naan was excellent, although we ordered two and only received one. The chicken curry was so salty that each of us took only a spoonful before throwing the rest away. The samosas were dry and lacked flavor. The tikka masala was decent, but it was not enough to salvage the meal. We ultimately had to find something else for dinner. I'm not sure what changed. We ate here a few years ago and really enjoyed the food, which is why we came back. This visit was nothing like our previous experience, and it was disappointing because we remember the restaurant being much better. I hope this was just an off day and that they'll return to the quality we experienced before. read more

What a great find! This AYCE Indian buffet is only $18 per person, and that even includes soft drinks, bottled water, and mango lassi an incredible value! The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and there are so many different dishes to choose from. My personal favorites were the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Madras Chicken Curry, Chef's Special Fish, and the Navratna Korma. Every one of them was rich in flavor, fresh, and absolutely delicious! If you're looking for tasty Indian food at an amazing price, I highly recommend this place.

We were craving their buffet & stopped by at 7:19 pm on a Friday night. We walked in & the waitress told us the buffet closed at 7pm. She said "It's 7:19, so it's after 7". What the?? Closing at 7pm on a Friday night? Not sure if it was just tonight but the way the waitress said it, it seems like that's their regular time. We saw 2 people stop by to pick up to-go orders while we were there. I wish that the buffet closure at 7pm was listed anywhere on yelp or their website that the buffet closes at 8pm. Both sites list the closing time as 8pm. It would've saved us a trip out to DB. read more

My GF and I came here around 4pm on a Saturday and were lucky to beat the rush. Before paying for the buffet, we were able to walk around and check out the food, and everything looked fresh. Nothing seemed dried out or like it had been sitting too long. The customer service was great from the start. The woman helping us was kind, helpful, and walked us through the options. Since it wasn't busy, we were able to sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant was also very clean and well-kept. The buffet was $25 per person and included all-you-can-eat food plus drinks like mango lassi, canned sodas, and water. They also had Indian beer available for an add't $5. Everything we tried was delicious. The Chicken 555, their house special, was amazing with the perfect mix of chili and spices. The garlic naan was fluffy and fresh, and both the butter chicken and tikka masala were excellent + their other options. The owner, was also very welcoming and attentive. He checked in often to see if we needed anything, and when the garlic naan ran out, he let us know a fresh batch was coming. Once it was ready, he brought it straight to our table. I'd highly recommend this place. The food was fresh, the quality was great, the restaurant was clean, and the service made the experience even better. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back with friends. read more

Curry India Bistro is one of those rare places where you can feel the love and pride in every dish. The owner and his wife run the restaurant, and it shows--every recipe is his wife's, and each dish tastes thoughtful, intentional, and made with care. The owner took the time to walk us through the menu, guiding us on where to start and sharing his personal recommendations, which made the experience feel welcoming and special. He recommended his top dish is the Chicken 555. It is soooo good, very tender. Their buffet runs from 11 AM to 7 PM, which is almost unheard of since most places end around 2-3 PM. This isn't your typical buffet food either, everything was made fresh!! The meats were soft and tender, the curries were rich and flavorful, and not a single dish was watery. Every bite was perfectly balanced and deeply satisfying. The cherry on top is the Mango lassi is included with the buffet! It's super creamy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. I genuinely love this place and am so glad I found it. I'll definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family with me. If you're looking for authentic food made with pride and heart, Curry India Bistro is a must. read more

Ordered takeout online and got a goat curry. We arrived to pick up our food and the boss lady said that they ran out of goat curry so subbed it with chicken curry. My husband was the one to pick up the food and mentioned the goat curry was $7 more. She said the chicken curry was also the same price so I went back online to check and realized she lied. We went back to tell the lady and she just sighed and asked if we wanted mango lassi lol we used to order here a lot but don't think we'll be coming back to support such a dishonest business. read more

I used to come here all the time either for the buffet or takeout. Came here for the lunch buffet recently after a long time away and was thoroughly disappointed by how far the quality has fallen. The tandoori chicken and chicken 555 just tasted salty and the butter chicken was a watery bland mess. The quality of the meat was also subpar and I was constantly spitting out huge chunks of fat and tough parts that should've been trimmed off. The vegetarian dishes that I tried were alright but still lacking in the flavor department. Sad to say but I won't be coming back again read more

I used to frequent this place a couple of work lifetimes ago and it was a favorite. 10 of us for lunch on rotation and the place was hopping during weekdays. All you can eat buffet stretching from wall to wall. Unlimited mango lassi. Tablecloths and drinks served in actual glasses. Yesterday, I brought the parental units to show off this lovely place and sad to say I guess times have become tough. The buffet was half its previous glory, part of the dining room has become storage and the office. All excusable and passable, but the most noticeable change was the quality of the food. The naan was a thin pita version of its old self. The butter chicken was not creamy and buttery delicious as it used to be. Samosas were nowhere to be seen. Fluffy rice became crunchy kernels inside a plastic bowl under the steel roll top. The mango lassi tank was replaced with pre-packaged plastic cups in a serve-yourself fridge limited to 2 per customer. There were reminders of the flavors I remembered from pre-Covid days, but only 3 occupied bare tables at lunch time on a Saturday speaks for itself. Soaring prices, dated spaces, disappearing tablecloths, limited service and shrinking menus are all signs of the times, but imho survival would depend on the quality of the food it offers. I would have gone back for that. Wishing this place luck that it will recover its locally-loved reputation. read more

This was the first time I have come back in more than a couple of years and it did not disappoint. Absolutely amazing and pretty affordable especially if you take advantage of the buffet. Service is always friendly and the ambiance is beautiful. Can't wait to come back and more frequently this time :) Shout out to Marlene much love for her always read more

Visited on a Sunday around noon and my group was one of two other groups of people dining. We were planning on ordering a la carte, but considering the value of $25 per person (with kids under 5 free), we opted to do the buffet instead. The buffet included soft drinks and delicious mango lassi. The food was flavorful, and my group enjoyed the meal, particularly at the price point. There were a variety of options, including garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, vegetable samosas, goat masala, and palak paneer. Service did not feel very friendly, however, and there were items (e.g. the ice cream) that were never restocked during our visit. read more

So the food itself is good, many different tasty curries and such. The tikka masala is really good and they make their Nan fresh for you. If you go at a weird time however, such as around 3 pm which is when I went, their food is really limited and they're not inclined to put out more. They said they were out often mint chutney and aloo gobi. They also don't put out any fresh food. I get it doesn't strategically make sense but If they have times open and charge the same prices, I feel they should offer the same quality of food instead of feeling like we're eating leftovers. That being said, I'm still rating this place a 4 because the food that they did have out was very tasty. read more

Love this place. It's been my go-to for years and I enjoy the meals I've had, whether the buffet or the plates. The service is accommodating and the overall vibe is great.

I ordered the 2-entree bistro box combo with chicken 555 and chicken curry. The chicken 555 was fried chicken marinated in a spicy, red sauce. It wasn't amazing but I did love the chicken curry. It had a good amount of spice and tasted amazing with garlic naan. The bowl comes with a lot of rice which is plenty enough for both entrees but I'm a bigger fan of naan. I got it as takeout on Uber Eats and it was ready immediately. There wasn't anyone dining in when I picked it up at 5 p.m. so I appreciated the speed in which they prepared it. read more

There is so much to say about this place! I absolutely LOVE this place! Their food is Buffet style but SO DELICIOUS! The workers there are very attentive and so nice! There are a nice Indian family and I was shocked when they spoke to my grandmother in Spanish! She loved the place and felt right at home! We absolutely love going here! The ambiance was nice and relaxing while we ate. We created such amazing memories and had such an amazing time we can't wait to go back! read more

Food was alright, but heavily salted. I did like how there were various curry options, chicken, and goat to choose from. The potatoes were surprisingly flavorful. Drinks (Lassi, bottled water, coke) are AYCD (except for the watered down mango lassi max 2). Went there around 1 pm, had a few people in there for the entire time I was there. Music was fine, seating was spacious. I didn't feel rushed, but the waitress kept staring at my group while we ate which we felt uncomfortable with. Naan was flavorful too, but had to asked multiple times to refill. Exact words from the waitress: "don't ask me, go ask him (the cook)". That request felt rude in my opinion. For the price $18 + tax, I thought I got my money's worth. Would I come back again? Probably not because most of the meat items were heavily salted. read more

What a great experience! Delicious food, good ambiance and customer service. Again, food is great! So many Indian dishes to choose from- the tandoori and butter chicken as my favorite! Did I forget the naan, so good! Will definitely be back! Great job, Curry India Bistro! read more

Wouldn't know how anything is. Came 40 minutes before closing and was told the buffet is closed. I asked to see a menu and was told we only have 3 things. I asked if they had vegan food. Answer no we dont have vegan. Everything has milk. But theres a sign in the window that says vegan food served all day. If theres only 3 things how do you have a buffet? How is the buffet closed but i can smell the food? Why are you checking the items if the buffet is closed. 40 minutes before closing. Ill never come here again. This is why people dont try new places. 40 minutes before closing and you have no food????? And as I sit here trying to find another place a customer walks in and the same lady that said the buffet is closed and they have no food is dishing food i to a to go container for another customer. The other person is taking trays of food, that they dont have, to the back. read more

5 of 5 Stars Overall!! My favorite Indian food spot!! This place is a hidden gem. The meals, ambience, and service are always on top! We dropped by for my birthday! This place is one my favorite Indian food spots ever! I really love their Navratta Korma, Aloo Gobbi, and Chicken Tikka Masala. If you're looking for LOTS of flavor, creamy sauces, spices, and curry look no further! Come check this place out. The owner and waitress are always kind and so wonderful to us when we come for lunch or dinner. You have to come and try their buffet to taste everything they have! The inside is very relaxing and they always have a great vibe going! If you plan on going on a relaxing date or out with friends the location is such a goood spot for creamy and saucy Indian food! Don't forget to try their fresh garlic naan! Seriously delicious! *Sorry I forgot to take pictures of my meal because I was so excited I ate through everything. However, I posted some pictures from the buffet! Make sure to ask for their add on sweet sauces to add to your meal. read more

This is my 2nd time visiting. Today, I came from Orange County, drove to Diamond Bar to have a full buffet of Indian food. You can't beat the price at $25 for as much as you can eat of Indian food that includes as much Garlic Naan as you want, soups, salad, ice cream their way and all the famous Indian curry chickens you've probably ever had right here. They don't hold back on the curry so you experience the tastes you're looking at. Personally, my favorite is the "Butter Chicken" and their special "555" which is so tasty but has spice. You end your meal with a mango juice which relieves your pallet to go have some more chicken when eating spicy. You can take your child there. Normally you have to pay for 2 buffets, but the waitress "Marlene" can understand if your child cannot eat much. Therefore, maybe just order the 1 item combo. You cannot share your buffet food with your child in all fairness to the prices they offer. This is definitely a go to place. It is delicious, tasty and finishes off well your craving for Indian food or trying a bit of all Curry Indian food at opening 11am to taste the foods fresh' made. It goes on all day, check website hours. Come come, we haven't been disappointed each time w came. Instead, we left happy and full. The owner is wonderful and great Chef. Marlene the waitress is a sweetheart and serves well. Thank you Indian Curry Bistro! read more

Very disappointing. We arrived at 6 PM and were the only customers in the restaurant, yet the buffet looked like leftover lunch food. Most trays were nearly empty, the food was dried out around the edges, and nothing was being refilled. There were gnats flying around our table the entire meal, and the owner/cook sat nearby watching videos on his phone at full volume. My family took a few bites and couldn't eat any more. For over $100 for a family of four, the value was terrible. They require you to pay the tip upfront, yet there is essentially no service. The only interaction we had was being told to "sit anywhere." No hospitality, no check-ins, and everything is self-serve. We will not be returning. read more

(My experience was from a visit back around early 2024, so hopefully things have improved since then, especially since I see they still have plenty of good reviews.) Sad to say, things have gone downhill. We used to be diehard fans of this place and long-time customers since before the pandemic, and we supported them all throughout with their to-go items. But when we went back to try the buffet again, it just wasn't the same. Prices had gone up, which is totally understandable, but the quality was lacking. Some dishes were especially disappointing: * Naan wasn't freshly cooked and turned soggy sitting in the chafing dish. * Chicken 555 actually had raw bits in it. When I told the staff, the response was basically "try another piece." Not acceptable. Only after I pushed did they recook it. * Palak paneer was flavorless. * Tandoori chicken just didn't taste the way it used to. * Tamarind chutney was watered down and lacked the rich body it once had. On top of that, we had to prepay for the buffet, which also included the tip. Normally, I'd assume that would cover service, but the staff even asked us to bus our own plates. It was such a letdown after years of being loyal fans. read more

Literally THE BEST Indian food I've ever had in my life ! I heard such great things about Curry India Bistro from my boyfriend and I finally got to try it out and now I am addicted. The way the sauce is so flavorful and perfectly spiced + the chicken is so buttery and melts into your mouth. The prices here are super affordable ! We ordered to-go but they have a dine in buffet for $25 which is not bad at all -- a steal for authentic quality Indian food. Me and my boyfie both ordered 2 entrees with rice at $15 a plate (to-go) which is so worth it esp because they don't skimp out on the sides here ! The service was amazing and welcoming which makes me love this place 1000x more. I will be back soon :') read more

Arrived at 12:30 on Sunday. There were two other tables occupied. 1/3 of buffet trays including rice and naan needed refill. We let the waitress know. At 12:55, chef refilled rice and a handful of naan. It was empty again by 1:00 and hasn't been refilled by 1:15 when we left. Waitress also says she prefers tip in cash because she doesn't see her credit card tips. read more

First time ordering from here last weekend and it was great! We did takeout and ordered the tikka masala pizza and two 1-entree bistro boxes (with chicken 555 and tikka masala). Not only was the food delicious, but the price matched the quality! Just for reference, I paid $16.99 for a 16 oz container of tikka masala at another Indian restaurant. I paid $18.99 for a tikka masala pizza here that gave generous portions of meat and toppings to feed a family of four - now THAT is worth the price. I definitely want to eat in person and have their $25 ayce deal. Looking forward to visiting soon! read more

We stumbled upon this place while looking for the Tesla car chargers. A spacious place with AYCE for $25 or small orders for $18. The AYCE comes with a drink also and a desert. Friendly staff and many servings of various Indian cuisine, rice, vegetables dishes. It's worth the visit for the price. read more

We came in on New Year's Day and we're pleasantly surprised that they open! The lunch buffet is $25 pp and comes with drinks. The service was excellent- everyone was very nice and attentive! The drinks (mango lassi, coke, and waters) are self serve towards the back of the room and each person can have 2 drinks! The mango lassi was a little watered down so it was less thick and sweet, but I liked it that way! The buffet felt very fresh and the food was in covered trays and warm. There were several vegetarian options as well as naan and basmati rice. My boyfriend, who eats meat, tried all the chicken options and said he enjoyed all of them. We were told the chicken 555 was their specialty dish and my boyfriend really liked it!! The food wasn't too spicy but did have a little kick. Overall, we enjoyed it and will be back! read more

Overall a bit of a disappointing experience. Went for buffet lunch on a Sunday. Cons: 1. There were no appetizers or starters. No samosa, no pakora. Just imli chutney to be eaten with what? 2. No options for dessert, only one "malai kulfi" which was nothing like the authentic kulfi. Flour or some other thickener was added to it, and the texture was pasty instead of creamy. 3. Payment is upfront ($25) plus service charge, but everything is self serve including water. Bottled water and lassi cups are in the fridge that you have to take yourself. 4. All the vegetarian dishes were underwhelming. Dal makhani and paalak paneer were bland, navratan kurma was americanized with zuccini, chana masala and daal were just basic ok. 5. No pulao or biryani, just basic white rice. 6. Garlic naan is not as good as other restaurants. Pros: 1. All meat dishes had plenty of meat pieces and it wasn't like in some other restaurants where you have a ton of gravy and a few lone pieces. 2. Chicken 555 is really good. 3. Plenty of non veg options like tandoori, 555, butter chicken, goat curry, fish curry, chkn curry. 4. Mango lassi is included in buffet price and is good. 5. Owner is friendly. read more

Food is eh..... The service is HORRIBLE. Wow, genuinely they are so rude and RACIST as well. They literally are such liars saying they had to remake naan when it tastes microwaved and reheated from the previous day. Wouldn't go back.

I visited Curry India Bistro for the $25 lunch buffet and left feeling disappointed, not because of the food, but because of the atmosphere. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only a handful of customers dining at the time. Throughout my visit, I witnessed what appeared to be the owner repeatedly scolding and micromanaging an employee. I could hear him raising his voice near the entrance, and later watched him repeatedly call the employee over, gesturing in obvious frustration. The employee seemed stressed and was constantly rushing around despite the restaurant being very slow. What bothered me most was the contrast between how he interacted with customers and how he treated his staff. He frequently came to our table, smiling and enthusiastically discussing the food, asking if we enjoyed it. Meanwhile, moments earlier, he had been visibly frustrated and raising his voice at an employee. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere that was impossible to ignore. I understand that running a restaurant is stressful, but there is a difference between managing employees and publicly berating them. Respectful communication should be the standard in any workplace. As a customer, it was unsettling to witness and it negatively impacted my entire dining experience. The food may be good, but how people are treated matters too. I left feeling uncomfortable and saddened for the employee. Unfortunately, because of what I observed, I will not be returning. read more

The food here is pretty good. The buffet has good options with lots of tender meat. We went at a weird time so the food wasn't fresh but it was still very good. Their best dish has to be the chicken 555, it has a kick but it is so flavorful. I would advise doing takeout or ordering from delivery apps here as they just take the items from the buffer vs making it fresh. The buffer is well worth $25 especially since drinks are included. read more

This place used to be amazing--honestly one of my go-to spots--but after COVID it has gone downhill. Everything feels lazy now: most items are premade, dine-in options are basically nonexistent, and the overall effort just isn't there anymore. The worst part? They said they don't have chai. An Indian restaurant with a sign saying they have chai... and they're just casually like "yeah, no chai." That's honestly wild. Staff seemed more like they were just hanging out than running a restaurant. Really disappointing compared to how good this place used to be. Beware if you're expecting fresh samosas and naan or even basic staples like chai. read more
