Our waitress checked on us often and explained the dishes with sufficient detail. The food was amazing! This was my first time trying Spinach Dal Curry and Tofu Mutter! I'm a sucker for the spiced tomato sauce and will definitely be ordering this one again. We all enjoyed the naan which was the perfect cut, density and temperature to accompany our entrée! Excited to see new restaurants in Bend that are affordable and offer delicious, authentic cuisine!

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!

Located in the former Shilo Inn complex, the restaurant has suffered a loss of business after the inn closed, both from lack of patronage from the inn and from Bendites who think the inn closure also closed the restaurant.

Really, really nice people. Truly a fantastic place to go to! The curry and tikki masala were very good, and I loved how their rice was cooked with a nice aromatic, herbal flavor.

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.

I was seated quickly at a small table near the front of the restaurant by a friendly host. The restaurant itself is so fun and quirky, with colorful decor and roses covering the ceiling. It has such a cheerful, playful atmosphere that immediately puts you in a good mood. A cheerful waitress came over shortly after to take my order. I ordered the Butterflies--wontons filled with Dungeness crab, garlic, cream cheese, and green onions, served with a sweet chili dipping sauce--and the Curry Basil Noodles. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. Despite having a couple of large parties in the restaurant, I didn't feel like I waited long for my food. I had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later, which is always a bonus! I would definitely recommend this place and hope to enjoy another meal here the next time I'm in town.

Unfortunate disappointment. We had been looking forward to this place after several local residents…read morehad recommended this spot for dinner. As a major Thai food fan having eaten in Thailand, specifically Chiang Mai several times, I was eager to try the Northern Thai spot. We had spent the whole day hiking and were excited to grub. The only redeeming factor was that there's no wait (which should be a red flag more than anything). We got the vegetarian papaya salad, tom kha, and curry noodles. Service started off great with waters and quick attention. However, the food was beyond disappointing. The papaya salad was artificially sweetened, with some odd sweet syrup poured over the combination of papaya and one sole tomato slice. No citrus or spice could be tasted. The tom kha was also not well made, with it being sweet more than anything and the tofu tasting like it has been cut up and tossed in the soup 1 minute before service. The curry noodles started off strong with a nice spice level with tofu well cooked but then chunks of the curry powder with heavy turmeric were not cooked in so landed heavy in the mouth. The combination of the three dishes as one would expect was disappointing. Dishes seemed to be rushed out of the kitchen before ending service for the night. I think unfortunately the service was the most disappointing. Had they been slightly more understanding I would have not been inclined to leave this review. However, there was instant dismissal of our disappointment with our food with an assumption that we just didn't want to pay for the meal, which was far from the truth. Would definitely not return here and would not recommend this restaurant. I am saddened to hear that this is touted as one of the better Thai restaurants in Bend. If only fellow travelers and the great people of Bend knew.

Both times, my wife and I were glad we went. I forget what my wife had, but I had the comfort bowl my first day and it was delicious. Everything tasted fresh. Good portion sizes. Friendly staff. And a vibe that said the place really cares about somewhat healthy foods, and common allergens. The second day I had the Thai bowl and it was equally delicious. I ended up taking some leftovers with me since I knew I was going to want to enjoy some of it for lunch the next day. The staff was absolutely wonderful. I never really like going to new restaurants and trying to figure everything out, but the staff was easy-going, and walked us through their process, the menu, and genuinely seemed like they are treated well. If we are back in Bend, Oregon, and then near future, we are definitely going to come back.
