I want to begin by saying that I have been a long time patron and supporter of Curry Time since they first opened. Food: 5/5 Their curry is very delicious. I always get their chicken tikka masala every time. It is creamy, spicy, and super flavorful. I also like their veggie korma and their paneer spinach curry. Pricing: 3/5 This place is significantly increased their prices over the years. A two item combo with regular naan is about $20 now. It is not fault of their own, I blame inflation. However, the issue that I have with this is that they secretly up-charge, which is dishonest. They advertise $16.99 for a two item combo. Before taxes, they already charged 4% ($16.99 to $17.64) and then tax on top of that. In addition, they also charge for garlic naan, for their goat curry, and for using a credit card instead of cash. All of these charges made my experience less enjoyable. Ambiance: 4/5 This place is a quaint small business. I would recommend taking it to go because it doesn't feel very restaurant-y. I hope they update their actual pricing and be honest and upfront about it. Otherwise, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

OMG, speaking about a hidden gem. This restaurant is located in a little strip mall, set back away from the street. If you're not specifically looking for this place, you can easily pass this place by. If it wasn't for seeing a tic tok video on this place, I would still be driving by this place. So in describing this place, I would say it's like a small Panda Express, but for Indian food. Don't expect to see a steam table offering of orange chicken & egg rolls, but all of the most popular Indian cuisine, butter chicken, tiki masala, goat curry, numerous vegetarian dishes. There is also a menu to order ala carte, tandoori chicken, samosa, bryiaani rice dishes, and as well pain & garlic naan. The restaurant itself was small, with about 6 to 7 small tables, classic mom & pop restaurant. The Lady handling the front was super nice, friendly & helpful. The food itself was surprisingly amazing. We tried 3 different types of chicken curry, all tasty & moderately spicy, the tandoori chicken had great flavors, a little bit on the salty side, but paired nicely with the baasmalti rice. The tandoori chicken is cooked to order, so there is about a 15 to 20 minute wait, recommending to call and order ahead of time. We'll definitely be coming back for our Indian food cravings! read more

I've been wanting to try this express Indian spot, and I thought it was quite delicious. It was empty when I came on a Saturday, so I was able to get my food within 5 minutes. I ended up getting the three-item combo, which was enough to share between two people if you're not super hungry. Here are my thoughts on the food: Butter Chicken - Buttery goodness. It was tasty, and the chicken tasted fresh. (4.5/5) Vindaloo Chicken - Spicy, but overall really good with nice flavors. (4/5) Spinach and Cheese - Also super tasty. It went well with the naan. (4.5/5) Garlic Naan - Overall good. Some pieces were crispy while one was soft. Decent, and the only thing I had to wait for. (4/5) Overall, the food was good, and if I'm looking for quick Indian food, I'd definitely come back. Prices did go up $1-$2 per item from the menu, but I was told that before paying, so just be aware if you're expecting the old prices. Still decent pricing for pretty tasty food. I ended up spending $24 for the 3-item combo with an extra order of garlic naan ($4.50). read more

Small mom and pop hole in the wall with friendly and fast service. I ordered through door dash for pickup but their tablet is broken so they didn't have my order ready when I showed up. She asked for my order and got to making it. For a goat biryani and butter chicken pizza, they had it ready in about 15 minutes, pretty quick! I didn't get any utensils but I was going to eat at home so no biggie. Took a slice in my car and oh my it was very solid. They must have a clay oven of sorts in the back because that pizza crust was divine! Goat was good in the biryani but the rice was slightly undercooked. Still good. I'm definitely coming back and bringing my friends for the pizza. It's right by the fake In n Out off the 10 Fwy read more

Back to try some more Indian food. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. It was their 7 year anniversary so congrats. and Everyone here is super nice and makes you feel like family. They made some special dishes today that I got to try. I got their creamy chicken, vegetable Chao mian, chili chicken, tandoori chicken pizza, and gulab jamun again cuz I loved that last time. The creamy chicken was super tender, juicy, and had good oveny roasted flaves. The vegetable chow mien had a bit of bell peppers, cabbage, and onions, perfectly aldente noodles and was nice and savory. The chili chicken wasnt spicy but had big chunks of chicken, bell peppers, and onions in a savory garlicky a tiny bit sweet sauce. The tandoori chicken pizza had a thin, naan like crust and was loaded with spiced chicken, onions, olives, bell peppers and cheese. It even came with like this creamy garlicky aioli dip. Now hear me out. Pizza and honey is yummy. So what if I dipped the pizza in the gulab jamun syrup- not gonna lie it was pretty fire and tasted like the Indian version of it cuz the syrup also had some of those florally warm notes honey does. Overall this place is still pretty good. Tandoori chicken pizza 10' $9.99 Gulab ja Special items ‍ read more

We had just finished a bicycle ride and we were craving some spicy food. This happens to be the only Indian restaurant in the area and the great thing about it is the fast service with no waiting. The food is buffet style and we ordered a 3 item combo meal which comes with steamed rice and naan. The two of us shared this combo meal and we were full, especially when Raj the owner talked us into trying the veggie samosas. If you love extra heat ask for the chili and it will be accompanied with raw sliced onions. read more

Curry Time - Sunday lunchtime FEB2026 - Indian Near Me - El Monte, California

Good experience but thought the food was ok. The prepared pans seemed very liquidy especially the meat dishes. But the pepper chicken had a lot of big chunks of cicjen - so not consistent. Tried the yellow curried veggie it was very watery and not much flavor. When i took it home and reheated it thickened and tasted better. Like the fresh naan. My 3 piece combo was $17.99 it comes with two pieces of regular naan. Garlic naan cost extra and goat curry cost extra too. If you like spice ask for the hot sauce it's green and good. Oh we bought fried fish (no picture) it was delicious but had an array of spices maybe too much spices for my pallete. We sat inside, employee moved a table to give us more room. The configuration with their soda and freezer and office table could be laid out better. read more

I'm new to Indian cuisine and am curious to learn to try their foods. The lady was helpful with my questions regarding the selection. I've come here a couple of times and so far all the items I have picked has had great flavors. I've enjoyed the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, black pepper chicken, chicken vindaloo which is really spicy and the spinach and cheese curries. I usually get the 3 item combo which comes with rice and naan. Also if you do a review on a Yelp, Google or Instagram they will give you a free ice cream. read more

Curry Time - 3 item combo with rice and naan Spinach and Cheese Black Pepper Chicken Butter Chicken Mango Ice Cream - Indian Near Me - El Monte, California

Came in next door to repair a cell phone and decided to try out their plates. First off the variety to choose from is extended. The plates are big enough to feed two. We had a two item combo that had coconut chicken and chicken tiki masala. It came with garlic naan. The food was outstanding, authentic and super filling. The space feels like a home and that ties it all together. We were welcomed by a wonderful gentleman that even gave us some tasting! We look forward to our next visit! read more

My partner and I were really excited to try this place given all the amazing 5 star reviews, plus it isn't too far from us. However, this whole experience was incredibly disappointing and aggravating. The service was very curt, which is fine. Then, the total price was much more expensive than what was listed! On the menu, a 2 item combo is about $17. We did get extra naan and the upgrade to garlic flavor, so we anticipated the total to be around $25 maximum including tax. We were charged $35. Not sure if there were secret charges or something, because the discrepancy doesn't make sense to me. Aside from that, the curries were lukewarm, watery, and plain. It's silly to me, because we ordered a few minutes after the store opened for the day and didn't drive far before eating. How is the food lukewarm??Oh and the goat curry was 50% bones... a lot of little bone pieces too. Lastly, the naan had zero garlic taste at all. It's unfortunate and I don't tend to leave negative reviews at all, but everything about our experience was the complete opposite of what was expected. Thought we'd have a new go-to spot for Indian food, but we won't be back. I would advise to be diligent when paying, but honestly don't even bother going here and patronizing a dishonest business. I wish I saw the other reviews warning about the same issues. read more

I came with my brother the other day, we just found out about this place and we live around the area. As soon as you enter you're hit with a wonderful scent of the spices that are used in the food. We were greeted by a very kind lady I wish I would've asked for her name. She was kind enough to let us sample a few items before getting what we wanted. I went with the two curry combo of chicken tikka masala and goat curry with garlic naan. Before we left she was so kind to let us sample the mango lassi. The food was very delicious and I can't wait to go back and try a different combo. I ate almost all of it but, I got full and saved the rest to eat the next day. Amazing service, they deserve more love honestly. read more

I got the 3 item combo with butter chicken, kadai chicken and chicken tikka masala. The garlic naan was warm and very large. The butter chicken has so much flavor and so does the tikka masala. Kadai chicken wasn't so spicy but still delicious. The lady quickly took my order and is very polite. Plenty of tables to sit and the place is very clean. The side of the wall the place has many awards and they definitely deserve it since the food is so good. I've been going to this places for many years and it never fails to impress me. read more

Food ok But be careful with a portion gives a baby portion for $15. That means you have to spend another $15 now for one person it becomes $30 smart businessman the place on (Rosemead) at the target shopping center. There's an Indian restaurant they give good amount and it looks like a restaurant. Very very cheap atmosphere, especially when the owner is working there they should consider that it's a regular customer coming there over and over again from one piece of tiny chicken. They try to make a fortune, but like I said, it's up to the owner. I don't find it very amusing. I feel kind of like disappointed. read more
