In the heart of South Park we walked by curryosity. Read the menu that was posted outside and decided to go have lunch. It was pretty empty with a couple of customers but as we were seated a few more came in a little after us. The decor is beautiful and unique! Love all the culture and art displayed. For food we got chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, dynamite chicken and garlic naan. For drinks I tried the masala chai. So good and soothing. Everything was delicious and well presented. Loved the vibe will definitely return. read more

Curryosity - Indian Near Me - San Diego, California

Had a really nice experience for my first time and Curryosity! The food is ridiculous. The vindaloo curry will be my go to from now on with chicken. The spice level is perfect, you feel that heat in the first bite but it doesn't absolutely overwhelm you to a point of sweating. The curry fries are delicious & the cheese samosas (not pictured) were a hit. The service was good, not spectacular. There were only a couple of tables seated and we rarely saw our server which was a bit frustrating - but when we did she was very nice. The restaurant is quaint but very pretty and has a good feel about it! We will be back for sure. read more

OMG!! It was amazing, all around, from service to food.to location. The tables and chairs outside were clean, comfortable, and we'll maintained.As a New Englander, and back home is currently shoveling the most recent snow fall it was a delight to sit outside, soak up thr surrounding vibes,and enjoy the food. I started with the Dirty Chai, what a wonderful drink and isn't overly sweet. Carries the Chai flavor well. I started with the Indian Latkes and Indian Street Corn. Both lovely starters, the sauce on the lakes has a kick and the corn paired nicely with it. Those chips with the street corn were soooo good! For a main dish I got the Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan. I could have drank the Butter Chicken sauce and the chicken melts in your mouth, it was phenominal!! Great waitress as well, believe her name was "Cat" Thank you so much! read more

One of the best places for Indian food. The vibes, the food, the decor... a place worth visiting several times. I forgot to add photos to my previous review, so thought I'd add them now. Small and quaint place that you'll keep coming back to. read more

EVERYTHING is so spicy, you can't adjust you can't change so it was kinda hard to finish it. I can tell it's quality food and everyone was nice but a scale would make it more accessible for others. read more

Always the best! Never disappoints. Nirvana is my favorite and the saag is a must! Definitely try some of their cocktails. read more

Very big inside. Outside seating is minimal. Funny and trendy decor and slogans on the wall and menu. The garlic Nan's are pretty big but they come with just one per an order. Four people could do 2 or 3 orders since they are so large. The tikka masala and the lamb masala both tasty! Crowd liked the lamb more. The Tandoori lamb chops and Tandoori chickens were both better than the curries, even though in ordinarily a big curry person. Try em out . Service good too (: Oh! And & do not sleep on the cocktails. I had the mule and ordered it without the strawberry. They are surprisingly strong for Soju and you could definitely feel something with just one! read more

TL;DR: really well-done curries, plenty of options for veg/non-veg, healthy serving size, and friendly staff! Adding to the list of favorites in SD! Ordered: - Samosa Slims (3.5/5): good not great, really like the chutneys - Bhel Puri (5/5): such a good texture dish - spices pack a punch and a great way to kick off the meal - Curry Fries (5/5): like currywurst fries but better! Really deep flavor on the curry paired with perfect crispy on waffle fries - Indian Latke (3.5/5): good flavor and texture but too similar to the rest of our order. Our oversight - Chicken Tikka (4.5/5): flavorful and juicy pieces of chicken. Wish there was better chicken to curry ratio - Butter Chicken (4.5/5): same as tikka - Saag Paneer (5/5 - MVP): The best! so many pieces of paneer in the perfectly stewed saag. Love it - must order! - Garlic naan (5/5) & Roti (5/5) We ordered mango lassi's for the table and we ended up getting it taken off our order because apparently the kitchen got swamped with the dinner rush. Completely understand the reasoning and the waitress was kind enough to keep us updated but a little troubling if dinner rush means no time to make some mango lassi over the course of 1-1.5h. Everything was so delicious and the vibe is so flexible between casual and dress-up - perfect for a date night or a chill night out. Note: Didn't drink any alcohol but just thought to mention they don't have a liquor license so the cocktails are soju-based. Can't comment on flavor/balance We'll definitely be back - so good! Cheers, Curryosity! read more

This is my new favorite happy hour spot! $5 drinks and $5 shareable plates. The mojito was so good that I ordered a second one. My friend got the Tantric Yoga drink and said it was great too. We ordered the fried chicken, curry fries, and naan bruschetta, $5 each. Plenty of food for the two of us to share. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and they have a cute patio outside too. Our server was nice, helpful, and stopped by to ask if we wanted anything else before happy hour ended. I will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Listen, this place is "trendy white people" Indian food, with cuisine like fried chicken and curry mac & cheese, which is FINE if you want that sort of stuff. The Indian food itself is not bad, but not the best in San Diego by any means. The chicken tikka, butter chicken & nirvana with chicken were all decent but not worth the slow service and hefty price point. Most outstanding thing was the green coconut which was tasty. Masala chai was also pretty disappointing as an avid & frequent chai drinker. read more

Came here for happy hour and couldn't believe what a great happy hour menu they have! I ordered the monsoon mojito as I love ginger. Great mix with the strawberry, lime and mint! Also ordered the samosa slim ... Very tasty and bigger than expected. Ordered the naan bruschetta .... Decent portion was that expecting a hearty amount. Also ordered the curry fries (feel like normal fries with some curry seasoning), the cheese samosa and curryosity fried chicken. The chicken are not wings rather pieces of chicken marinated with spices then fried. Very flavorful, but extra kick with the sauce it comes with. Our server was patient with all our questions and quick. Place has a cute decor and great menu def plan to come back. read more

Very cute spot in the heart of South Park. I for one love the creativity of their fusion menu. We got the curryosity fried chicken, vindaloo lamb, green coconut curry, cheese naan, and mango lassi. Yummy! I love their mint chutney that goes with the chicken. My usual go to is the saag paneer and while I still prefer that one this meal was a nice deviation to sample their other plates. read more

An excellent dinner, without a doubt. Rainy evenings in San Diego are perfect for cozy, flavorful Indian cuisine. We drove around looking for parking so long that we ended up in South Park, and it was a pleasant change-up from our original destination. The restaurant was mostly full, but we received quick, excellent service at the bar. Absolutely will be back! read more

This little gem is tucked away in the very cute Southpark neighborhood! The service is efficient, and the food is flavorful! I appreciate their use of traditional flavors but with a creative twist on their menu! Also, their happy hour CANNOT BE BEAT! They have a variety of dishes for $5 and in today's economy - that is a steal! We were tempted to and almost ordered one of everything on the HH menu! Pro-tip: Get the curry fries, garlic naan, and butter chicken! read more

We made reservations to sit in the tiger room for the experience. The room and tables are cute but I may be too old to be sitting Indian style. My legs got numb... old lady in me was not happy with the decision. We ordered samosas and tofu vindaloo we enjoyed the level of heat they both had. I also ordered a sangria and it was tasty and a good price. Indian food is always a great option for vegans that enjoy a little heat. read more

Great Indian spot in South Park! They have indoor and outdoor seating with an open air feel connecting the inside bar area to the outdoor patio. There is a very cool room in the back where they have low tables and pillows on the floor, which feels super authentic. The decor throughout the restaurant did as well. Service: Our server was great and food came out fast! Food: we started with the samosa slim, which was outstanding and freshly handmade. For entrees, we got the pick your own curry with masala and lamb, the tandoori chicken tikka, and garlic naan bread. Everything was delicious! They have happy hour from 3-5pm Mon-Fri. They had a ton of starters on the menu that were almost a gastropub Indian fusion that I'd love to come back and try, like curry Mac and cheese or wings, poutine, etc. read more

Lovely little Indian restaurant tucked away in the charming South Park neighborhood. It's one of my favorite spots to hang out on a nice Saturday, and the patio here offers a great spot for people-watching. The food is flavorful and served in generous portions, perfect for sharing. We tried the mussels as an appetizer, and while it was good, it didn't wow me (needs some naan or rice to soak up all that curry). The Green Rogan Josh (lamb dish) was absolutely delicious and the highlight of our meal, with tender lamb and bold flavors. I've also had the vindaloo lamb here before, and it was tasty with a good level of heat. Overall, solid place for Indian food, but pricey, so while I think it's good, I've had Indian food I liked just as much (if not more) in SD for a little less. Giving it a 3 out of 5, but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Really good spot for happy hour specials betwen 3-5pm M-F. I came here with a girlfriend around 4:30pm on a weekday and got a bunch of food to share. It was fairly empty so we got seated in their outdoor patio. They have a lot of $5 plates and we shared both types of samosas, curry wings ($8) -- we tried the tamarind and honey spiced flavors, waffle fries, and naan bruschetta. Everything was super flavorful and filling. The total of our meal was about $40 and we had a lot of leftovers which was probably enough for another meal myself. I would love to come back and try their other main dishes and happy hour drinks. I don't get Indian food enough and this place seems pretty solid for it. Parking is fairly easy in the residential area of South Park and especially before the prime dinner hour. No dedicated parking lot. read more

Stopped in while wandering the area and tried their chai! It's a traditional masala chai, not heavy on the sweet or too spicy: a delicious house blend which even came with a complementary biscuit! The decor is bright, inviting, and modern with some cool kitschy finds around the bar. Severs are friendly, knowledgeable, and seem genuinely proud of the restaurant and their food. Everything smelled great and looked delicious. Keeping this on the list for a future visit! read more

Servers were super nice and accommodating for a bigger party with no reservation. The restaurant ambiance was super cute and we were able to sit in the back where we were sitting on some floor cushions with super low tables that would be similar to eating at home. Food was plenty flavorful. I ordered a chicken tikka with garlic naan and it came with rice as well. Everything tasted very good and just the right amount of seasoning. Would come back again to try something else on their menu. read more

Came across this Indian fusion place by mistake and so glad I did!! Food was really well constructed and flavorful. The chicken on the curry fries however it was a little bit on the dryer side and could use some more flavor however would that being said the butter chicken sauce that they put on the fries was excellent!! The samosas crust was nicely fried however the stuffing could be improved as I've had better. We also got butter chicken with rice, which was pretty delicious. If I'm ever in the neighborhood would definitely go back and try some of their other dishes as it was a great experience. Service was pretty standard and the ambience was pretty chill. read more

My fave dishes are the butter chicken, rack of lamb and their garlic naan. I've only been twice and had to run those back but will dive into the rest of the menu very soon.

I was curious about the name and really want to try out this spot. Love the cute set up and the mural art on the wall. Menu has a nice variety and there's something in there for everyone. Please have a nice ambience , cute decor and the service is good. I was super excited to try the food, but it was a little underwhelming . We had the curry fries, tandoori chicken, mixed vegetable curry, samosas slim, garlic naan, masala chicken, and masala chai. I'm giving the three stars because some of the food items were good but some were not . For example, the tandoori chicken had no flavor at all. Bought the chicken and vegetable curry dishes tasted the same. The chai masala, fries and samosas were good . read more

My friends and I really had a nice time here. We brought a fairly large party and so we got to take up the back lounge. The seats were very comfortable cushions on the floor with lowered tables which gave it a friendly vibe. Staff was all very friendly and was happy to explain the menu and make recommendations. They also came in often to see if we needed anything. They also had a "free item if you dance" deal on the menu so our friend did a dance and they came to record it. The food was all delicious! Definitely get an order of cheese naan and curry Mac and cheese. The lamb was insanely tender and the nirvana chicken curry was excellent. Looking forward to a trip back sometime soon! read more

This place is still such a great staple! Everything is large and filling and there hasn't been something we have disliked on the menu. The drinks are always very tasty and their food always flavorful. They could use another server or two since this place is always packed but that's the least of our concerns when the food and drink are great! Apparently there is a back room you can rent out where you sit on the floor so keep that in mind for private events! read more

I have been telling everyone about this place. It is by far the best Indian food in San Diego. I love the authentic table placements and the ambiance is super chill - I want to reserve the big room for my next birthday All of their dishes are incredible. Last time we got the paneer tika masala and the nirvana. The Somosa is also very good. I don't think there is anything on the menu that would not be amazing. read more

What a fun place! A modern, trendy version of an Indian restaurant, though with many of the traditional trappings you'd expect. Sierra was behind the bar when I walked in, greeting me and letting me know I could sit anywhere. I chose the bar! They also have a great, airy patio with a half dozen tables. The inside is split into a couple rooms with a large opening between the two: one room has the bar and the other with the entrance, holds an assortment of table sizes good for any party. I felt like having lamb, and I told Sierra I also liked coconut. She immediately guided me to the Green Rogan Josh, a green curry with plenty of tender chunks of lamb, accompanied by a bowl of saffron rice. I also ordered the garlic naan. Everything was very delicious and filling! So glad I stumbled on this place! read more

A little fusion-y Indian place. Everything we tried was delicious! We made reservations for a Thurs night at 6 which I would recommend because the place was busy! Mostly indoor seating but they did have a small outdoor patio area. We got the bhel puri, chicken vindaloo and naan and roti. The main dishes typically come with rice but you need to order bread separately. The behl puri was a unique taste for us. It's a lot of puffed grains, onions, potatoes, etc in a sweet tamarind sauce. Fun to have all the different textures. It does eat pretty sweet though. The vindaloo was pleasantly spicy. I love spicy so I probably could have had some more heat but it was enjoyable. The flavor was right on point too. The naan and roti were good as well. I believe they're freshly made and they paired with all the dishes really well. read more

THIS PLACE IS SO CUTE!! date night vibes for sure. This is such a delicious Indian spot the saag paneer and vindaloo blew my mind -SO GOOD. spice level is perfect and you can custom it if you need it more mild or hot. The garlic naan was the perfect amount of soft and crunch. I only gave 4 stars because the price is a bit high but we definitely still had leftovers. Service was OK, she seemed a bit busy and only checked on us once before the bill and kinda missed our drink order. Still would return tho. Drooling over the thought of the food read more
