Amazing food and even better service!…read more We've ordered from Curry NaanStop Indian Grill before, so it was no surprise when my hubby requested it again for Father's Day. I headed over for pickup and the place was packed. There was a line of people waiting for the buffet and honestly... not surprising at all once you taste the food. While I was waiting for our order, the owner came over and offered me what I think was tea or coffee with cream. Such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. It was absolutely delicious and made the whole experience feel extra special. We ordered the garlic naan (because... obviously), Chicken Mughalai, Butter Paneer Masala, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Each entrée came with white rice and every dish had its own unique flavor and spice profile. Rich, creamy, comforting, and full of flavor without feeling repetitive. The food was amazing but the service really stood out. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We'll definitely be back and next time we're trying the buffet so we can open up our palate and try even more dishes. 5 stars for incredible food and amazing service!

I love a good Biriyani and that's exactly what I got. The rice was moist and my lamb wasn't overcooked or dried out.

But what was very noticeable was the price. I've had mediocre food in the area for 4-7.00 more a plate in the area. I also like the variety. Everyplace doesn't offer goat. I'll be back for sure

We started with the chicken lollipops. The taste was decent, but apparently the chickens they use are roughly the size of sparrows. Next came the Bang Bang Shrimp. The chef might want to take a field trip to PF Chang's and try their Dynamite Shrimp just to see what the dish is supposed to accomplish. The momos were ordered as appetizers, which I assume means they're intended to arrive before the meal. Ours showed up just as we were finishing our entrées. Maybe they were traveling from Nepal on foot. The goat curry was actually pretty good, which briefly gave us hope. Then the garlic naan arrived and tasted suspiciously like something that had recently completed a successful career at Costco. If they have a tandoor, it's apparently being used for storage. To add to the experience, there was live singing. Unfortunately, the entertainment seemed to receive more attention than the food. My humble suggestion: spend less time rehearsing songs and more time rehearsing recipes. The grand finale? The morning after, both my son and I were dealing with indigestion. Nothing severe, but it was a fitting encore to an already memorable evening. I rarely write negative reviews, but when a restaurant charges premium prices, I expect more than tiny appetizers, delayed food, questionable naan, and a digestive adventure. The biggest mystery of the night remains how this place maintains such a high rating.

However the best entrance is west of that intersection, about 1/4 mile west, along Route 22. This restaurant serves delectable Indian cuisine, which we enjoyed immensely. For appetizers, the tomato soup has anise seasoning (light) and complex flavors for the roasted tomatoes. Appetizer was very spicy but excellent: Chicken 65 from Chennai. Good-sized appetizer, could feed 3-4 people so that you still have room for generous dinner portions. For the main course I had the Hyderabadi Eggplant. Several tiny eggplants softened to perfection in the hot tandoor (stone oven), where it and most dishes and breads and such are cooked, and all hot to the table. For his entree, my husband had the Chicken Tikka, with two delicious sauces. To really fill out our table, we ordered Tandoor Bread Selections, which was huge but we had lots for take home: Sixteen quarter round breads, four each of garlic, cilantro, plain and buttered. Service was attentive but neither rushed nor lax. We will be back. Note: This restaurant also has buffet lunches Monday thru Friday and on Saturdays. Lovely place, a true hidden gem! Recommend!

The restaurant is clean, bright and inviting. One nice surprise, they have a full bar. Their menu is fairly large. And they were BUSY. They had a line from the back counter all the way through the restaurant of folks either picking up orders (from a prior phone order) or stopping in to order to go. This was nonstop for at least an hour. Saturday night definitely contributed. The food was pretty good. Solid portions, lots of flavor. Of course we ordered Garlic Naan (actually, basil garlic Naan) and it was a good portion and delicious. They only serve one chutney and one curry which I was disappointed by. I have experienced getting a tray of various curries etc. But they were "OK". Had some flavor, but honestly it wasn't flavor-full. My friend said that on prior visits it was better. We also ordered a Mango Lassi (no one had ever tried it so I ordered one so they could try it). It was really good and they loved it as well. We ordered Mango Chicken and Lamb Vindaloo. The chicken was so good and not too sweet. My wife loved it. My Lamb was ok. It was no where near "hot" or spicy which I am used to. It tasted very muted and more like an Indian tomato sauce rather than a true Vindaloo that I'm used to. Our friends meals were lamb and fish and were very good too. My Vindaloo was worth 2.5 to 3 stars but everyone else really liked theirs so I bumped it up to 4. The service was slow, but that was more likely to how busy they were. It wasn't unacceptable, just a bit slower than expected. All in all I would try it again. I would come back try the Chicken Vindaloo and tell them to kick the heat up. There are several dishes I would love to try and will try. But right now my recommendation is a "yes" for those wanting to try this delicious food, but a maybe for experienced Indian food folks that are looking for something more like home :)
