Why 4 stars? Because it was a perfectly fine experience. --- --- --- After landing at IAH, I was on the hunt to grab something quick on the way home. I had an alternate plan initially, but timing didn't work out for me, so I perused my bookmarks as I took the parking shuttle to my car and settled on Curry Masala. I called them once I got to my car and was told my order would be ready in about 20 minutes, as my GPS read out that I was 20 minutes from the restaurant. Everything was coming up Milhouse. Because I am a basic B, I ordered chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. It was ready about 3 minutes after I arrived, and off to home I headed. I enjoyed both, but thought the tikka masala was definitely the better of the two, and the wife agreed. We had a favorite Indian spot really close to here that has unfortunately closed down, so I have been on the hunt for a new one. Curry Masala did not quite match that level, but it's not a bad option when in the area. read more

Cleanliness Service Family friendly Flavor I loved the staff and their attentiveness. But the flavor, seasoning, and execution of the food needs work. If you don't like spicy or seasoned food, this place works for you and you don't need to continue this review. If you do care for those things and you try this place, you might agree that the flavor profile is catering to the demographic of the location that the restaurant is in and not the authenticity of the culture that it should represent. I know of another location, but this is not to take away business for one restaurant, but to help encourage this one to lean more into its authentic flavor. Even if that means moving locations because your demographic may not care for it. I had chicken Biryani (safe for an American) but the chicken was dry and with minimal flavor. The rice lacked flavor. The raita was ok, if you like everything blended together. The onions and lime/lemon you might usually have on the side was not offered with this. Fried cauliflower with chicken 65 seasoning, had a good spice level, but it was soggy. read more

I chose this place because of the good reviews. They offer two options a buffet or ordering from the regular menu. We ended up doing the $20 buffet. It looked really good, but unfortunately it was the worst Indian food I've ever tried. Even the better dishes weren't that great. I'm not sure if it's because we came during Ramadan, but the food definitely needs improvement. read more

The food is DELICIOUS!!! The customer service was EXCELLENT! The ambiance is BEAUTIFUL! The restaurant looks like you're in India or Pakistan, and am about to eat at an Indian/Pakistani restaurant. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hidden gem that serves authentically delicious South Asian foods. read more

It's been at least six times I've ate from here, and I have yet to eat inside-- it's mostly always pick up or a catering event. The dish that has been the stand out dish to me has been the chicken biryani. I feel like in the North side-- this is the best we have, so I will continue to order from here. They do give chutney which they call raita, but if you think it's the one with onions and cilantro in it, it's not. I do like that the chutney/ Raita whatever they want to call it is thick-- I'm always annoyed when it's as liquid as water. They charge a dollar extra or any extras. Now for the cons: I had picked up a catering order before and the food wasn't ready when they said it would be. I waited a while for it which wasn't a huge deal for me but it would be if you had hungry guests waiting to eat. It makes the host look bad when the food is late. I wanted to get a take out my menu for next time, and apparently they don't have any menu that you could take with you so I had to take pictures of it. Also, if you need any catering prices, you have to call them to get it and they we still haven't word for an upcoming event. I think it's weird that they don't have any take out menus or a catering menu-- it's almost like they don't want to do business. I checked fb and insta to see if they have deals but they only have a couple of recent posts, everything else was old, but didn't see any. I did see that they do buffets now so I might try that out. As long as the biryani continues to be good, I'll keep coming back for more. read more

Chicken Biryani -- No Flavor - bland and the chicken pieces were dry and hard. Was expecting a spicy Pakistani flavored biryani and was so disappointed. The Hyderabadi biryanis at other local places have so much more flavor. read more

Flavor wasn't bad but the chicken was rather tough which isn't something I can recommend when there are other options

We have ordered takeout here before but this evening was our first time to dine in. We were greeted very warmly and were explained to that the phone systems were down and therefore no ambient music could play. We were also proudly informed that the buffet was recently opened. After browsing the options briefly we both ordered the buffet. I think we tried one bite of every item. Some of our favorites were the standby basmati rice and tikka masala. Some other favorites were the mixed vegetable curry and the signature chicken tandoori. There was a small salad bar and dessert area that included homemade dressing and fresh fruit. My husband enjoyed the chicken corn soup and spring rolls as well. We will definitely be back! Thank you for the hospitality! read more

Wow, this was one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to, and I'm surprised to find it all the way in Spring! The vegetarian thali was incredible. So flavorful and full of spice. I believe I ordered the mixed vegetable masala, aloo gobi, and channa daal fry. Very filling dish even with the absence of meat. The garlic naan was pillowy and fresh! Very friendly service as well! I will need to come here more often on my lunch breaks! read more

The food here was well prepared, well presented and absolutely delicious. Service was great! She made sure we were ok with the grilled food taking a little longer, before we ordered, because it was being cooked fresh. We will definitely return to this restaurant! read more

Great food. The owner and MOST of the staff are very nice and attentive. Just a little skimpy on the portions.

Our go to Indian restaurant. We've only eaten there once but they were kind enough to give us free lassi when we burned our tongues with spicy food! The ambience is really nice, people were also very nice and friendly. My husband loves their Karachi burger. I love their chicken lollipop. It's so so delicious. I ate their biryani on my wedding day. Couldn't think of anything more appetizing on a day filled with anxiety. We love you curry masala!! read more

I came here with a friend to grab some quick take out and overall I was impressed! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and the overall vibe inside was clean and nicely decorated. I ended up ordering the Butter Chicken Curry and the garlic naan. I thought that this was delicious and I would definitely order again. The garlic naan was good, but nothing spectacular. I would probably order this again as well next time I go back. read more

Picked up food and the young girl at the counter was very rude. Honestly just felt unwelcome so I will not be coming back.

Delightful small restaurant. Very comfortable and decorated well. The service was very friendly and helpful with decision- making. Extensive options on the menu. The food was fresh and delicious with large servings. We started with the Awesomosas and hubs had the Curry Masala Soup. For our main courses, he had the meatball curry and I had the Chapli Kebobs. All was excellent! And the naan was awesome. We will definitely return. read more

I'd eaten several delivery orders from this great Indo-Pak eatery in Spring. But at last I decided to stop in and enjoy the venue. The very sweet mother figure of the restaurant was as knowing as she was charming: though I mentioned I tend to not enjoy sweet dishes, she advised I order this certain app that is partially sweet (but also partially spicy). I'm so glad I took her advice! I thus discovered their stunning appetizer of eight puff shells of Dahi (Meethi) Puri. Sweet, complex and flavorful: red onions, mint and tamarind chutney, garbanzo beans, yogurt, date sauce and a special spice mix. Along with a bowl of daal soup, some garlic naan, basmati rice and chicken vindaloo, I felt myself smiling away there at my table. I already was a regular--I suppose now I'm a devotee! read more

Curry Masala - Spring - Excellent Vegetarian Thali - Indian Near Me - Spring, Texas

Curry Masala is Excellent food, service and atmosphere. I will be back. I highly recommend!

Food here was great, and definitely satisfied my craving for Indian food! Curry Masala is a quaint and cozy family operated restaurant with an extensive menu! My boyfriend and I ordered the following to try family style: butter chicken, beef bihari kabobs, dahi puri, and two smoothies. Each entree comes with a choice of basmati rice or naan bread, and the portions were very generous! We loved everything we ordered. The beef Bihari was a bit on the salty side, but the meat was very tender nonetheless. Butter chicken was good, as always. The smoothies were AMAZING, so I highly recommend to order one to pair with your meal. Service was very friendly. Only thing could be improved is the order that the food comes out. We first received our entrees, then our "snack" (dahi puri), and our smoothies came last when we were done eating. We got full from eating our entrees, so we couldn't really enjoy the other food as much. Nothing takeout couldn't fix though! read more

I lived in India (Mumbai) and ate street food. I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to Indian food. As long as it's not westernized. I order from here about 2x per month. This place offers really good food. The Chana Masala is excellent. The Saag. Terrific. My kids LOVE the Tandori Chicken. And don't get me started on the Vegetable pakora! So, why not 5 stars?? Because there's a place in Sugarland and two others in Austin, and that one place in the old Mall in Dallas, that are absolute musts when I'm nearby. But this place ticks all the right boxes. I'm a fan. Go there. read more

I love the food here. It tastes authentic and the portions are generous. I've had the Gobi Manchurian, Shrimp and Goat Korma, the tandori chicken salad, the Rogan Josh and the naan. All at different times and the food stays consistent. read more

I will gladly drive from the medical center to Spring for their food! Any Houstonian knows that is the ultimate compliment. Everything was absolutely excellent. The chicken biryani was moist, flavorful and the chicken breast was cooked perfectly. Kabobs were a flavor explosion. The lamb was eye watering delicious with the garlic naan. The mango lassi was quite delicious. I should have ordered another to go. Excellent food, great service (We went on a Saturday at 2pm) and wonderful ambiance. Turns out one of the owners and my family are from the same area in Karachi. She is such a delight and takes so much pride in customers enjoying their experience at Curry Masala. Highly recommend this local jewel! read more

Great Ambience and Service. Food was mid tier, not terrible but not the best I've had in Houston. Goat Karahi meat was not as tender as I hoped and same with the butter chicken. Naan was great. In a city with dozens of Indian and Pakistani restaurants, you have to really be on top of your game, to compete with places like Aga's, Las Belas or Bundu Khan. read more

When me and my husband crave Indian food this place is the only place will come to eat it! Simply it's just the best from the service to the food! I decided to finally leave a review because usually we always just pick up to go but this time we decided to dine in and honestly with the service we received they deserve 5 stars and some recognition because I have not once ordered from here and not liked the food or received bad service. I do have to say though the portion with the chicken in the dishes like butter chicken or chicken tikka has definitely cut in half even the goat dish I can't really remember what it was called our server recommended it I wasn't a fan I would've gone with the butter chicken bc it's absolute my favorite but I wanted something no spice and this dish was perfect for that but it barley had any meat! It was like one little chunk of lamb maybe cut into pieces. I understand with inflation everything has gone up but it just sucks we always loved this place because how big their portions used to be we always had leftovers for lunch the next day but now not any...I will still continue to come here though bc simply they have the best Indian food in my opinion! read more

The bread here is superb! Fluffy but not too thick and melts in your mouth. The food lacks flavor significantly though. I had the chicken karahi & it was watered down to say the least read more

We had the chicken Lollie pops which were phenomenal. Cooked to perfection. The entrees were pretty average. Wasn't a huge fan of 2 of the 3 dishes we tried. The service was good as far as keeping our drinks filled, however, how the manager was was pretty off putting. He stood around on his phone. Posted by a wall in the middle of the restaurant. Just seemed pretty in professional. Also when we got there, the door was locked at 4:30pm when it opened at 11am. We parked across the parking lot, and the manager actually came and got us to come in. Wasn't really worth a second visit, but wasn't terrible food. The cooks were amazing. read more

This is easily the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. I feel dumb for not coming here when I lived 5 mins down the road. The service was A1. Everything we ordered had so much flavor. The chicken tikka masala was really good not too sweet. The "yummy in my tummy curry" was the best curry I ever had. I was full and still finished the whole thing because it was so good. Both naans were hot and fresh. The fried cauliflower is called "cauliflower 65" on the menu. I cannot pinpoint what the flavor tasted like but it was so good we couldn't stop eating it. This is the best restaurant in the Rayford area. The inside was very homey and nice. Definitely will be a regular customer here. read more
