Real talk- I don't like Indian food. I am gluten free and I miss naan so that's why I wanted to go…read more I asked a gluten free friend to go with me. We did the lunch buffet bc $15 for unlimited food is quite a deal! I asked the owner(?) if we should each get an order of it or split one? He said split one. It turned out to be $7 for a single piece of naan. And it was pretty bland. So don't get that. The lunch buffet had I think 12 things plus rice pudding and chai tea. A lot to try! There were a couple things I thought were pretty good. But idk what they were because nothing is labeled. The owner(?) walked us through and told us a bit about each one because I know nothing about Indian food but I didn't write it down! I asked my friend, who does like Indian food, what she thought and she said the food was okay. The guy was so super nice and I appreciate the attention he gave us!

Saw the great reviews. Walkable from supercharger, food came out quickly and was so, so good…read more Choices of naan, I had the garlic, but chili naan sounded intriguing. In addition to the menu posted online, they have Thali specials which can be easily shared by two, if not three (lighter eaters). Butter chicken has a sweetness to it that I wasn't expecting but absolutely loved. Can't wait to come back.

First visit to The Crown Curry. We arrived late afternoon on a weekday to an empty restaurant,…read morewhich was nice because we could choose our seats and avoid the hated banquets. Menu is by electronic tablet. Navigating the extensive menu is relatively easy. I do wish our server had asked if we were familiar (we weren't) so we could have taken advantage of the selection saving feature. As it was, ordering four entrees involved repeat look-ups because we kept forgetting the numbers of the dishes we wanted. Next time, we'll know to do that. It also would be great if they cleaned the tablet screens a bit more thoroughly. Drinks: they have them and the selection includes a number of interesting specialty cocktails, plus beer and wine. I ordered a rum/pineapple cocktail as well as a dirty martini. The rum one was a bit weak but the martini hit the spot. Food: Four entrees including three vegetarian and one chicken, all ordered medium, which was probably a mistake as medium apparently means mild. Flavors were decent if a bit lacking in body. Service: no issues. Ambiance: also fine but I wasn't as struck by the decor as some other reviewers. Music is too loud. I'd prefer they just turn it off. And as I mentioned, they have banquet seating, something I never want. Who wants to sit facing a wall? All in all, a solid addition to the dining scene.

A Hidden Gem in Bend! If you haven't been to The Crown Curry…read morelately, you might not even recognize the place. The newly renovated interior is stunning--the Southeast Asian-inspired lighting fixtures create a fantastic vibe that feels both upscale and welcoming. The Food: Everything we ordered was spot on. The Goat Curry and Biryani were packed with authentic Indian flavors and cooked to perfection. Definitely don't miss the Samosa Chaat; it's loaded with savory chutneys and yogurt, and the portion is huge--easily enough for a group of 2-4 to share. Drinks & Vibes: We paired our meal with an icy-cold 20 oz Taj Mahal beer and a Lemon Drop that was mixed perfectly. Service & Location: The service here is exceptional. They treated us like family from the moment we walked in, checking on us just the right amount. Plus, it's super convenient with easy parking right out front on SW Century Drive (across from Cascade West). Having lived and traveled throughout Southeast Asia, finding this kind of "Indian jewel" right here in Bend was such a great surprise. Highly recommend!

I took my son to Taj Palace for his 13th birthday because we've enjoyed the lunch buffet in the…read morepast. This visit was nothing like what we've experienced before. We arrived at 1:00 and the buffet was in rough shape. About half of the food was out, most looked old, and the quality was far below what I expected. The chicken tikka masala was in a white sauce and didn't look right. The rice was cold and dry. There was no naan available. The whole setup looked like it had been sitting out too long, even though lunch is listed until 2:30. The server brought us a plate of naan when I asked, which was kind, but the buffet never improved. I ate one bite of the tikka masala. My son ate a few bites of chicken and some watermelon. We were there for fifteen minutes. When I asked if anything could be done on the bill since we barely ate, I was told no. I still paid the full $35 and tipped. This was supposed to be a special birthday lunch. Instead, it was a disappointing and expensive mistake. I hope the restaurant takes a serious look at their lunch service, because the quality today was unacceptable. We will not be returning.

Wow! Honestly that's all I should write…read more We had the privilege of enjoying dinner here on a Tuesday evening and the place was packed for reasons that became quickly apparent. The wide assortment of northern Thai dishes featuring local proteins was absolutely incredible and vibrant flavors were wildly delectable in every bite.
