Good Indian food near Altadena. Garlic naan is a must. Normal decent portions and friendly staff. I only tried the veggie options but the meat looks good. Great option for fast flavorful food hot and ready. I did togo but you could sit down like a Chipotle but for Indian food. Plenty of tables and room to park in the back. read more

Went in on 05/06/26 at 11 am. The lady working there was very friendly and helpful. I forgot to get her name. I loved the food I ordered, and it was ready on time. It was my first experience there and I really enjoyed it. read more

I got the combo plate with 2 entrees and it was amazing! Everything was super flavorful. The portions are big, so you definitely get your money's worth. The customer service was also warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back again! read more

I stopped by Curry Time on a whim, just driving by. I don't normally order Indian food since many restaurants I've tried are either not authentic, or they do a mish mash of food from various regions. This was a quick, fast casual format so I figured it would be quick and easy. And prices are fair so not a huge loss if the food was not great. The owner was there as I ordered and we had a great conversation. I learned there are other branches of this shop. It was close to closing time and she kindly offered me a taste off several of the dishes. I was pleased to notice the flavors were all distinct. Everything was well spiced and fresh tasting. I was very pleased. All the chicken curries are delicious. I settled with the mango chicken and also the goat curry (authentically cooked bone in) and garlic naan. The pricing was a bit misleading initially because there are upcharges for various combinations. However, I recently returned and noticed the signage on pricing was clearer. I would be happy to return and try other items. read more

The food tasted great and the lady was friendly and let us try the food before ordering, and I like that most of the food is made already ready to eat. Dining area is nice and clean. read more

Had a great experience at Curry Time Now! Singh was incredibly friendly and welcoming--he let us try a few samples before ordering, which was a nice touch. Food was delicious, can't go wrong with any choice here. He even brought out a sample of what he was cooking in the back for us to try after we had already sat down. The hospitality really stood out, and everything tasted home made. Definitely recommend. read more

Customer service is severely lacking, we arrived just after they opened and went in to say we had an online order and one of the gentleman said they had just opened and it wasn't ready yet. So we left and went on a walk. We returned when we reached the time it stated the food would be done. It was done on time but it was the wrong order. I selected the Chicken Curry pizza and I received the tandoori chicken pizza. When I told them I had the wrong pizza he said no you ordered the chicken curry pizza. I had ordered (online) the chicken curry masala pizza when I asked why the pizza given to me had peppers and olives he said he didn't know why the online description said that because the online description for the chicken curry pizza doesn't have tomatoes and he doesn't use tomatoes. I was offered no refund nor was I given the correct pizza. read more

I love this place. I came in about two or three years ago. And I stopped coming because of the food and the service was so bad and then I came in about eight months ago I thought I would try it again because it was under new management and met the owner Chef and I decided I was gonna come back again because the food was so delicious. I forgot to leave a review at that time and then I came back in and I met his beautiful wife Nancy She met with a smile. The food is delicious. I tried so many things I'm so full and I will have to eat my meal tomorrow, but I will tell you that all the samples were lovely And delicious. I have a friend that owns an Indian restaurant, but I have to tell you the service great food so tasty and warm to the tummy. The garlic naan was prepared at the same time. I ordered my food. I tried something new today. The butter chicken delicious the pepper chicken, and I even tasted how Dal AMAZING FOOD. I will be back delicious food I give this place five read more

Nice family running the place when I stopped by, not sure why it's listed as closed. It's a neighborhood spot, good for a quick lunch/dinner. I had the black pepper chicken and butter chicken combo. Pretty good sized portions. The black pepper chicken had a nice spicy flavor that I enjoy, but a little too much onion. Their butter chicken wasn't my favorite, would prefer if the chicken was roasted, seemed to be just boiled in the sauce. Sauce could also be creamier and it was a bit too sweet for my taste. The garlic naan was really addictive and yummy. I was happy a local indian place opened up. I was hoping a Punjabi Tandoor would open in Pasadena, but I hope this place only gets better with time. read more

This will be my go-to Indian/curry spot. I've tried four or five other Indian places in Pasadena. All fell short in one way or another for me. Not Curry Time. Ordered the chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and samosas. All excellent, very well spiced. Maybe the best saag paneer I've ever had. Wife ordered the daal, which I usually don't like, but have to say, also the best daal I've ever had. Good price point for the portions. read more

Great service. Food is very flavorful and fresh with great prices too. The owner is very nice and welcoming.

Every time I've been here, the food has been great and the people have been great. Considering the quality and amount of food you get, it's an excellent value. And considering how difficult it is to get good Indian food in Pasadena, it needs to be patronized more. read more

Prices are good. Food is okay. My bf and I both got two item combos. I got t chicken curry and it wasn't very flavorful. Street parking is easy. read more

Quick and easy spot for Indian food. I love the different options they have here including the palak paneer and chicken tikka masala. While I've had better Indian, I think this does the job considering their portions are very generous and reasonably priced. read more

Overall pretty good spot for takeout Indian! We got a 3 item combo, which is a great way to try more than one dish! The goat curry was very good flavor but almost all the meat pieces were bone or fat, which was disappointing. Otherwise the coconut curry and saag paneer (spinach/cheese) were both very good. Portions are decent for the price and quality, considering this isn't cheap fast food. I'd definitely like to return to try more dishes. read more

The service level here sucks. Clearly trained in the Soviet School of Hospitality, the guys at this place seem pissed that you come in, pissed that you order something, pissed that they have to give it to you and pissed that you're paying them. No one smiles, no one has any sense of hospitality ...it's not a pleasant experience. I was excited we were getting an Indian place in the neighborhood but I'll go to Bhanu and enjoy myself. read more

Measly portions and mediocre food.. feel sorry for these guys!! Good guys bad food and not that great a location... wish I could give them advise.. read more

Simply wonderful food, everything I sampled was delicious. We get it to go, but there is a dining area to eat. Very friendly staff, always helpful with giving samples to try. This is our go to place for India cuisine. Enjoy. read more

Not a fancy sit-down restaurant but a quick, run in and grab some really good curry to go place. They have several meat or vegetable curries cooked and ready to. Generous servings. Only thing you wait for is the fresh nan bread they cook fresh for you. The owner/server lady was super friendly and generous with samples. read more

I ran in here on a whim. It's a small restaurant but the lady who operated it was very kind and offered me and a friend samples when we didn t know what to get. I got the butter chicken and coconut chicken. It was really flavorful and probably the best I've had in a while. She had a good mix of meat and vegetarian dishes available. The portions were really generous for the prices offered. I had leftovers and ate more when I got home. read more

Watery spinach paneer. Our "plate" was a takeout tray. One review called the servers unfriendly, but I found them friendly, and polite.

I was a fan of the original Curry Time location in El Monte so I was excited to hear that a new branch opened closer to me. This spot feels exactly like the original, offering the same solid taste and great value. The interior here is similarly sized (maybe a little smaller) with a good number of tables for those dining in. I usually opt for takeout for the convenience. Their menu is the exact same with a good range of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. I'm a fan of the 3-item combo and a drink since it's the best if you want to maximize value and variety. If you have a normal-sized appetite, it's honestly enough food for two people. For most people, the 2-item combo is plenty enough to fill you up. My go-to's are still the Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Curry, Veggie Korma, and Mango Lassi. All pretty basic, but they're good and the meat's tender. Service was quick as expected and super friendly. Unlike the original, I don't believe they have a parking lot, but maybe I missed it, so you may have to go with street parking. The taste and value here are still consistent with the original. The flavors are still solid, with generous portion sizes that don't disappoint. read more

Curry Time Now - Nasty. Dry. No sauce. Nan is crusty. Horrible. - Indian Near Me - Pasadena, California

The food is good, I love the El Monte location. The guys that work there are not the nicest, might just be me. I was upset personally that they do not have anything spicy at this location, I miss the Kadai and Vindaloo chicken. Don't get me wrong the other options are good, but that's not why I get take out if it's not spicy. I hope they add those options to the menu, people love spicy Indian food. The people that work there could be more welcoming it's just the younger workers. Again might just be me. read more

Reasonable prices and good portions. Not a fancy place. Good service but it's more of a diner.

Curry Time has opened under new management and had a small but diverse buffet offering of veg and nonveg dishes with other freshly made food to order for dine in or take out. As a vegan, I picked the eggplant, a potato-cauliflower dish and an onion jalapeno paratha, which wasn't on the menu. The woman working the cash register and kitchen said she was a vegan too and was only too happy to make the paratha for me with whole wheat flour at my request. I had everything to go and was delighted with the taste of the dishes. The flavoring was mild to medium spicy, but she said she could make it spicier if asked. A bonus was that there was ample parking in front of the restaurant and it was right next to where I get my dogs groomed, I'm eager to go back and try the vegan Indian pizza. read more

Absolutely terrible. New management has changed their prices much higher, and reduced their portions to nothing. I highly recommend avoiding this unless you want to be ripped off. read more

Great spot for a quick stop! Curries were fresh with good spice levels. Mango Lassi 10/10. Owners were very nice.

New Year's Day, I live in Pasadena, decided to take my boys out for lunch and get something to eat after the parade was over. Big mistake as traffic was off the hook busy everywhere. Tried going to a few places and they were either insanely crowded or not open. Found an escape route up Allen, across Washington, and down Lake. Saw the restaurants door open, never ate there before, stopped. I rarely eat Indian food but was pleasantly surprised by their food and their pricing. Great portions, great bread. We had first half for lunch and second have for dinner. I will go there again and have already recommended it to a couple people. read more

Great Indian fast food with many choices. Good for vegetarians or if you just like veggies. Food is fresh and my garlic naan was made to order. Very tasty curries and they gave me so much I was able to save half for another lunch. Will go back to try the other options! read more

Amazing food for a great price, satisfies my Indian cravings. Love all the chickens and the goat curry as well!

They do not care for their customers. Sooooo baaad. $30 for 6 veggie samosas and 2 chicken samosas SO BURNT THE Chicken WAS DUST. One is so hard I actually can't break it open. There is no way the restaurant didn't know what they were giving me. read more

Great service and food. So fast and easy for a quick dinner where there is no waiting.

Great tasting food and fast to order and very reasonable prices. Have Indian Fast food in a convenient location is great. Things are at the spicy side but it is so good! read more

Been meaning to try this place since it's near my job, but unfortunately I'm gonna have to keep leaning on Namaste Spiceland for my Indian food fix in this area. Chicken tikka masala was sweet in a weird way, and the saag paneer was decent but I've had better for a similar price. The best thing flavor wise was the veggie korma, but texturally it had a lot of onions and very few other veggies; I've had this dish other places where the variety/amount of veggies made the curry feel more substantive. Also, and this is a minor thing, their hours are incorrect on yelp, or at least they were today. It says 10:30 but when I came today they didn't open til 11. Perhaps other items on the menu are really good, but what I had today was pretty mediocre. I would rate it 3 stars but the ambiance is not particularly nice and the service wasn't very friendly. If you're curious it may be worth a shot but I wouldn't order the chicken tikka masala. read more

Highly recommended. I had a delicious 3-item combo for lunch today at Curry House. $15.99 plus $0.75 extra to get garlic naan instead of plain naan. Goat curry - tender and delicious, nicely spiced and with a bit of heat, served over rice. I was delighted to find that it tasted like lamb (my favorite meat). So good! I'm definitely coming back for that again! The naan was hot, fresh and had the perfect springyness when torn. My second item was coconut chicken curry. Also delicious. I did chew something in it that I now think was a piece of chili, which left me with burning mouth & a runny nose. I'd order the curry again but beware of chili pieces. I can take the amount of heat in a typical Mexican chili verde, or the red sauce at King Taco, if that helps gauge the heat. I also got Aloo Gobi which was good. Everything served with rice. I was full by this point. I have 3/4 of the coconut chicken & aloo gobi for leftovers. Yay. Next time I'll try the mango ice cream. Service was immediate. As soon as i said i wanted the combo a chef went into the back to start the naan. Parking on the street and in the back. read more
