Let your Curry-osity run wild and you will not be disappointed. We started of with the crispy cauliflower appetizer and even our most skeptical guest loved it. It kind of reminded me General Tso's chicken. It started the meal off just right. The Chi t tea was brought to us in small terracotta mugs. It was very hot, perfect spice and sweetness. Finally, our meals and butter naan bread by way of robot server. Neat gimmick, but I still don't get it. The chicken masala was ridiculous, it was so good. Creamy and rich, mild spice and big chunks of chicken. My boys both ordered goat. One ordered mild and the other medium. If you don't like super hot food, order mild. All the warm wonderful flavor without the burn. The dining room was clean and very modern. Lots if seating and even a small stage. A great place to enjoy a delicious meal and good company. read more

We stopped into Curryosity early on a Friday evening around 5:30. There were already a few patrons, and it filled up quickly with a line forming for tables. Our server promptly took our drink orders and gave us time to look over the menu. We ordered the shrimp fried rice (Indo-Chinese fusion, mild) and lamb curry (mild). Both dishes were packed with flavor, though not very spicy--next time I'll try medium. The food was delivered to our table by a robot, which was a fun and unique touch, and then the server plated it. I also had the masala chai tea--absolutely amazing. Hot, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. My only downside was that the food wasn't piping hot, more warm than expected. Otherwise, the space and bathrooms were clean, and overall it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend Curryosity. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. We started out with the curried corn ribs and they were some of the best that we have had. We also had the chicken 65 which was nicely spiced and another chicken dish which I don't recall the name of. We also ordered a side of the garlic nan which was delicious. We ordered the lemongrass soup and it was the only miss of the night. Instead of light and refreshing it was oily and rotten tasting. So why only three stars if the food was good. Because there is nobody managing this place and it clearly shows. There were two very young inexperienced waiters who also had to act as bartenders and hostess. These kids were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Again, we saw zero management trying to help the situation and numerous customers, including ourselves, getting frustrated by the chaotic spotty service. I have to stress this is lack of management and not the kids's fault as they were trying as hard as they could. We felt so bad for these kids we ended up leaving a huge tip. Also, the atmosphere isn't great. The restaurant is located in a strip mall which is fine however be aware that the two tops are very close together so you better get to know your neighbor. You feel packed in like you're sitting at a restaurant in New York City. read more

We loved this restaurant. As vegetarians/vegans it can be hard to find great places to eat in CoMO but Curry-osity had a vegetarian-specific tab on their menu! We tried the Gobi Manchurian cauliflower, Vada Pav "sliders", and two main dishes (Aloo Matar and Navratna Korma) and they were all amazing. We would love to try other curries but these two were solid. We will definitely get the Mancurian again - the texture would please veg and meat-eaters alike! The sliders were good but we want to try the samosas next time. The portions were good size, came with a side of rice, and we could have shared an entree (but glad we got two so we could try a few flavors and eat for leftovers the next day). Lastly, we had a kind server, a fun robot to bring our dishes, and even though they have signs that it's "slow food," the time was not that long for how great the meal was! (Parking is not an issue either) read more

Where do I begin? Let's start by saying that this place has a lot of pros and cons. I'm going to sandwich them in this review lol. We came in during lunch time... but not on a lunch special day. Bummer. That's ok though because this was our first time eating here and we were excited regardless. The first con is there are no menus. Only a QR code taped on the table. This makes ordering for elderly people extremely hard, because they often don't know how to use phones well or may not even have a phone with the technology to scan QR codes. Case in point, my grandma who was with us. Thankfully, a waitress handed her tablet over to my grandmother to use! But on a busy night, they wouldn't have been able to do this, and we would have had to help her order. That being said, the food came out quickly on this slow lunch time day, and was literally to die for. The Samosas have a seasoning on the outside I'd never tried before and were sooo good! All three entrées were creamy, flavorful, and very well-made! They each came with a small bowl of rice and all three of us shared each other's entrées so we could try a little bit of everything. I would go back there literally just for the samosas and not even need to order anything else! Now I'm not too sure if this is really a con...or a pro... but a little robot brought us out our food. The waitress told us its name was Bella. It was really cool and super cute...but I feel like these are replacing humans in the work place. Why do you need a robot to bring my food to me when there's people that can? I suspect it's to help a smaller waitstaff serve a restaurant more efficiently. But on a slow day, are they necessary? I have to admit however, that the robot was super cool! Finally the price is...well...outrageous. This is a "special night" dinner date spot. Not a casual lunch spot. The samosas only come with two not three, therefore you HAVE to order more than one order if you have any more than two people. With $20 entrees, plus more for naan, drinks, and any apps...it was over $100 for three people. I can see why they have robots...they can afford them. Either way you look at it, this place has robots, QR code menus and is definitely better suited for a date night than a family dinner. All that being said...I'll be back for those samosas... read more

Curryosity is a fantastic place for authentic and flavorful Indian food. Every dish is packed with rich spices and perfectly balanced flavors. The butter chicken and biryani were absolutely delicious, and the naan was fresh and soft. The portions are generous and everything tasted freshly prepared. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even better. If you're looking for quality Indian cuisine with great taste and great service, Curryosity is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!" read more

We came in for dinner on a weeknight and were seated right away. We were excited to try some Indian food, as Columbia is a lacking in Indian cuisine. The service was good overall. The restaurant is very spacious, sit down, casual. Chicken tikka masala, spicy (4.5/5): We enjoyed this dish, it was creamy, spicy, just a small ish portion size for the price. Lamb curry, medium spice (4/5): Also delicious, good flavor. Lamb was tender, cooked well. Also a bit small of portion size. Garlic naan (4/5): Crispy, but each piece was a bit thin. Still good flavor read more

Stopped in for a quick surprise lunch with my daughter and boy were re-impressed. We ordered six different dishes and every one of them was fantastic. I highly recommend the cauliflower it was to die for. read more

Food is fine but service is terrible. This was our second attempt. First time a couple months ago was relatively busy, after a long wait to be seated, we waited 10 minutes at the table with no waiter before deciding to leave. Came back during a slow time, and it was like they didn't want business. Grumpy, disgruntled wait staff, menus on QR code, pour your own water, dishes dropped onto the table, serve yourself from a delivery robot. Then you get charged too much for what you receive, get asked for a tip for poor service, and charged extra fees for using a card. Wanted to enjoy this place, but we won't be back. read more

Very good food and a nice t atmosphere! Not cheap though! Spice levels can be challenging if you aren't careful.. service is good. Well worth a visit read more

Using yelp is a 1 star in itself as the platform blocks proxy users. Additionally, a 45 minute wait with open tables that are not reserved, overcrowded waiting area, and poor food quality. For Columbia, it's okay but for anyone who's had Indian food anywhere else (KC, STL, Etc.) you'll be disappointed. Watered down sauces, thin bread, small protein portions, and double the price of other options. Massive letdown. read more

This was my second time at Curry-Osity. The service was good. The ambience is romantic, and the lamb chops were to die for they were tender and well spiced. read more

I wish I would have taken more pictures. The place quiet and clean. The service pretty good. She was able to keep up with our table as we were there on business. The food was as I expected very good.

My Pastor and I were attending a Church Convention in town, and wanted something different...Indian food came up. Checked out Yelp first, and this one had the best ratings...it did NOT disappoint. We went for lunch and felt like we were walking into a 5-star fancy restaurant! Place looked fantastic, very classy, the staff was like one you'd also find at a high-end $$$ restaurant...very professional and attentive. The food prices were very reasonable, and our meals were SO tasty, and well prepared. I'll definitely be back here, when I'm in town! read more

Excellent ambiance. Wonderful food. Reasonable prices. Attentive service. Best Indian restaurant in Columbia read more

I came here twice with a group for dinner and lunch and greatly enjoyed both experiences! I recommend making reservations, but otherwise the service was quick and professional. So far I have tried: Appetizers: Gobi Manchurian and Chicken 65 Main Dish: Chicken Curry-osity, Aloo Matar, Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken and Lamb Curry Side: Naan and Roti Dessert: Ras Malai I enjoyed every item and was impressed that each dish was unique and flavorful. Furthemore, the interior decor is beautiful and I love that they have a stage area for music/bellydancing nights. This will now be my go-to Indian restaurant in Columbia! read more

The portion of food is reasonable to its price but the flavor of food is a bit confusing.. between Chinese and Indian. The service is very nice and helpful to your food allergies and restrictions. It is not what you expected for an Indian restaurant. read more

The food was amazing. Best Tika masala I've ever had. Reasonable prices too. Service was quick and the ambience is great--much better than you'd expect for a strip mall. It's a funny thing to mention but the tables look custom made. Really gorgeous. I'm glad to have this restaurant on our side of town. read more

Very good food, served quickly in a very nice place. The ambience is delightful, clean, and spacious. Very tasty food.

Absolutely delicious and timely on a Saturday at lunch! Shared the tandoor sampler and lamb curry. Naan great as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Food was excellent, ambience is nice--is there karaoke at this place?--service was great. A bit pricey but you get a ton of food if you order an entree. They are a little understaffed at present but they did fine. read more

I did a pick up order. My review is based on food alone. I ordered chicken tikka masala and garlic naan and it was amazing. The flavor of the main dish was flavorful and perfect spice level. The naan was so fresh and complemented the chicken tikka masala. I keep thinking about it! read more

Food was excellent, Service was very good. Ambiance is excellent. However; did not enjoy calculating the tip including taxes, And did no like the extra charge for using credit card. read more

Bland and pricey. Not a great combo. Got their signature dish and it needed seasoning. Wife and I will probably not be going back. However, it could be a case of Curry type dishes just aren't our thing. read more

I have really enjoyed Curry-osity since it first opened. We went tonight to celebrate como restaurant week and for our wedding anniversary. We ordered the lamb curry, butter chicken, garlic cheese naan - all of which are fabulous dishes. Each curry is so creamy with a blend of sweet and spicy to your liking. I am not sure if the lamb curry was supposed to be this way, but the dish had multiple whole peppercorns in the curry. The garlic cheese naan is the way to go in our opinion! We thought we were being pleasantly surprised with the royal naan ($20) for como restaurant week and, unfortunately, we were wrong when it came time to pay. What would have been a $60 meal turned into a $80-85 meal not including the tip. We will come back because we have enjoyed what this place has to offer and look forward to their growth, but we were upset with the surprise addition (that was not communicated whatsoever) that we did not ask for in the first place. Just want to put this out there as a heads up for anyone who ends up going, especially during 2025 como restaurant week. Overall, the service is good, quick, and it's a popular place to dine. read more

We have arranged a luncheon party for 50 people at Curryosity. Food and service were beyond our expectations. They have done an amazing job. Lamb curry, Tandoori chicken and shrimp were tasty and inviting. A. E. Daniel, MD read more

Food was great and my waitress Sam was outstanding . Loved the butter chicken it will be my favorite.

The food was fabulous. There were four of us including two vegans. Everyone was able to find something they were excited to order and the food was served quickly and everything was tasty. This was our second visit. Our first was when the place first opened and there were long waits and the place was clearly short-staffed. We were hoping all that would have been taken care of but our waiter was clearly brand new, couldn't answer questions about some of the dishes, and didn't really understand the I-pad he was trying to use to record our order and ended up bringing us food we had asked about but decided not to order as well what we'd ordered. The supervisor was apologetic and we were not charged for it, but they are still clearly working on hiring and training staff. read more

First time here and I was not disappointed. Delicious flavorful Curry-osity Chicken. The Basmati rice was beautifully presented with tones of red. The restaurant space is great with beautiful chandeliers and decor made my the owner. Great wood work. The servers are learning and just need more familiarity with the menu. Overall a great experience. read more

Curry-osity is a nice addition to the local food scene, especially for vegetarians and vegans (anyone else tired of cheese pizza and bean burgers?!). There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options across all the menus (appetizers, lunch, dinner). I tried a variety of dishes on my first visit and was generally pleased. The vegetable samosa filling was excellent, and the flavor of the bhindi masala was very good. However, most of my tables' dishes -- including chaat, chana masala and the bhindi masala -- were far too oily. I did not care for the garlic naan as it was cracker-thin and crisp (despite the puddles of butter on the top). I thought the serving sizes were appropriate. For those who like heat: don't fear the Very Spicy level. I enjoyed my Very Spicy main (and would have appreciated even a little more heat). read more

My husband and I went here yesterday. We were seated almost immediately by Sam who needed up being our server. She was wonderful. Great at helping me choose something that was my spice level. The atmosphere was nice. The food came quickly for a sit-down restaurant. And the food was absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend enough. We will definitely be back. read more

Best Indian cuisine I've ever had! Deliciously flavored food and a beautifully decorated space. Friendly and courteous staff round out the whole experience. It's a must try! My only caution is that it is very spicy. I always order the mild and it's still pretty spicy. read more

Had to echo this response from google reviews. Absolutely awful experience. We waited nearly 3 hours to be seated, only to be served burnt food that was barely edible. To make things worse, the staff were arguing with each other right in front of customers the entire time--completely unprofessional. When it was finally time to pay, they refused to split our check, even though we asked multiple times. I rarely leave reviews, but this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Would not recommend read more

my boyfriend and i made our reservation for 8:45 on a saturday night. we got there and they clearly weren't super organized. we ordered a mango lassi, chicken 65, and the chicken tiki masala. we had to asked our waiter to get our drinks, and when we did, our mango lassi was under filled compared to all of the other guests and wasn't very sweet, tasted like greek yogurt. the chicken 65 was cold, like it had be sitting for a long time. the tiki masala was alright, it's definitely on the sweeter side, so if that's your thing you may like it more. BUT I found a hair in it lol. the waiter seemed genuinely sorry and so did the manager. they voided it. the ambiance was nice, it's on the more elegant side, as well as the prices. read more
