The milkshake had a good mix of vanilla and mango sweetness to it. The main dish came out in about 15 minutes and it was delicious! The sauce was sweet, savory , and spicy! It paired super well with the chili garlic naan! Probably one of the best naans I've had! Staff were friendly. Overall this was some of the best Indian food I've had, definitely check this place out!

The server asked if we had ever been before, and we had not. He guided us through all the dishes and went through their differences, tastes, ingredients, and his recommendations. It was very helpful with navigating the menu and options. We had a mix of the coconut roti and paratha roti with the chicken curry, chicken kottu roti, and chicken stew. Every single dish had its own unique flare. I couldn't get enough of them all. The best way to describe the food experience was fun, eclectic, and flavorfully delicious. The service was amazing and the food left you feeling full and scratched a savory itch you didn't know you even had. Would highly recommend.

It was so good, in fact, that when I asked my husband what his top three things were of our anniversary weekend, he ranked eating here in the top 3. I would agree. We will be back.

The owners are from Bangladesh, and they are quick to point out that this is not an East Indian restaurant but a fusion restaurant (I have never been clear on what a fusion restaurant is other than expanded menu). There were a number of dishes normally seen on menu from an Indian restaurant but no Nan bread. Instead they have paratha which if found I liked more The food was excellent. Previous cautions regarding wait time for food correct as I think every thing is freshly made rather than scooped up from last weeks offering. The ambience was modest (think small town diner rather than five star Michelin restaurant). I am more interested in quality of food. They do have a nice outdoor space. They caution regarding how hot you order food. My wife ordered it at 1/10 and was good. I have the Fireman's bowl and I think that is a 3 or 4 out of 10. I asked to have an order of Dal for take out at the heat that the chef usually eat it at. After signing a consent form and waiver (joking) she gave me an order of dal at 8/10. I tried it at this heat and yes, probably should have a glass of milk or some yogurt to cut the heat. I will try a 10/10 next time. All I all an excellent experience and one to be repeated.

It was sumptuous and delicious. For dinner, we had the garlic nan, which is always great, Vindaloo with shrimp, and Chettinad with Chicken. All amazing. The food is always freshly prepared, quiet, comfortable ambience, and excellent service. The owner/Cook, Nalini, pours her heart and soul into her grandmother's traditional recipes that have been passed down to her. A wonderful. Interesting person as well. Some history: I have eaten at probably 3 Indian restaurants in my life before discovering The Curry Queen. None of them caught my interest - I just didn't get it. But I like Thai curry, so we stumbled into the Curry Queen several years ago. OMG, the combination of spices is so interesting and tasty, the meat is lean, the menu is broad and varied, and vegetarian dishes are endless and delicious (I'm not vegetarian). It is a consistently wonderful experience. Shocking to find this in Old Saybrook. CT! The closest thing I've found to this level is an Indian restaurant in Northern Wales two years ago. If you're in CT, don't miss a chance to try The Curry Queen!

My pappadams were a bit salty as well which overwhelmed the caraway seeds. Very disappointed in today's visit.
