R & R's Curry Express - Indian Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

This is what they call biryani? It was basically heavy tomato curry rice with a few green peas and bell peppers, topped with huge chunks of dry chicken breast. Honestly, one of the worst meals I've ever had, Iwouldn't even give this to an animal. The customer service was just as disappointing. We've been to much busier restaurants, yet the staff here acted as if they were overwhelmed and tried to split our bill however they wanted because doing it properly would "take more time." And don't be surprised if they tell you at 1 PM on a Monday that they're not serving the lunch menu and only have the more expensive dinner menu. Absolutely ridiculous. Overall, terrible food and terrible service. read more

R & R's Curry Express - 30. Chicken Tikka Punjabi Biryani - Indian Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

My favorite Indian restaurant, ever. I've been coming here for over 10 years and absolutely love this spot. Raj and his staff are so friendly and helpful! Their paneer and chicken masalas are amazing, but you should order spicy as sometimes they really don't make it spicy. Their samosas are amazing but they very large and the crust is super thick. Super filling! I love their papadum as well, which they serve with 3 various dips/toppings. All their naans are fantastic. If you like garlic, you'll LOVE the garlic naan as it's super densely flavored with garlic. For desserts, the mango lassi is great to go so rich and filling, but I do love their gulab jamun and kheer as well. Inside it's spacious with bar seating, tables and booths. They often play Bollywood style music videos with great music on the tvs and sometimes live footage of baking the naan on another tv. They often have unique and fun specials written on the boards by the entrance as well. Again, my favorite Indian restaurant PERIOD. Thank you R&R's! read more

R & R's Curry Express - Indian Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

Well, I usually don't leave bad reviews unless it's absolutely necessary, but if you want good Indian food, I suggest you go to Bayleaf Other than the fact that I had a hair in my rice, let me list the problems that I had with my order It was cold and I paid 64$ to treat my family of 4 to good food. It was two orders of the butter goat.. they come with rice and each order feeds 2 people they said on the phone So each one should have had its own separate rice but it was one and although it was a little longer box it absolutely could not feed 4 people Also the meat was 90% bones.. I know butter goat has bones but my goodness this was just bones in soup and not even enough rice to at least enjoy the soup! Sorry I know there are some fans of this place and maybe it was just this one time incident but Regardless it was expensive and awful for me very unfortunate read more

I guess for the area, it's okay Indian food, but I've had better at other local Indian places.

I've enjoyed every visit to R&R - noting that the environment is not exactly much more than a greasy diner feel - attached to a convenience store. Still - the food is good and so is the service. No reason not to come and enjoy! read more

Best Indian food in the state of Arkansas!! The staff is so nice. The owner always makes sure to stop in for a quick convo and makes you feel very welcome. read more

Although I haven't had everything on their menu, I do have my favorite! The butter chicken is my absolute go to number one. I mix the rice with the sauce covered chicken together and mmm mmm good!!! read more

Food is ok, portions are kind of small though. My only complaint is the service. I don't like having people talk down to me when trying to order and pick up my food. Also, I was not pleased about the man who delivered my food, grabbing my receipt and throwing it away. FYI - Heads up - they charge you 3.5% credit card surcharge on all orders not paid with cash. They have another sign up that states you get a 10% discount for writing a review. read more

R & R's Curry Express - Entrance - Indian Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

great people and very nice the best Indian food in fort smith they always checking on us making sure we are pleesed at the food

Chicken 65 is my favorite Indian dish. So much so that I make it at home, when I can find fresh curry leaves. Properly done the chicken is marinated overnight in yogurt blended with spices. The marinated chicken, tenderizes while absorbing the spice and moisture from the yogurt. It is then flash fried and coated with a spicy sauce. The result is delicious tender, moist, flavorful, spicy hot chicken chunks. Done properly it is a wonderful meal. Chicken 65 at R&R is none of that other than red and hot. R&R's version of chicken 65 is dry, tough, flavorless fried chicken chunks. The chicken is covered in a syrupy candy apple red sweet sauce, with strong flavors of chili powder. Eatable, but far from a properly prepared delicious Chicken 65. Looks pretty on the plate, but don't order the damn stuff. My wife had the Chicken Vindaloo, one of her favorites. She called R&R's a passable version of the dish, but lacking in the complexity of flavor that she expected. I tasted of it. It was heavy on the cardamon, overpowering the curry flavor. Spike's rating system. 2 stars means I wish I had gone somewhere else. Not recommended. read more

I have never had a better customer service experience. The food always comes out fresh and hot. You are always served with a smile, and I always enjoy the music that they play. If I could give this place a 10/10 I would! read more

Always good food and service, whether take away or eat in. Butter chicken is my favorite.

The best amazing Indian curry food in river valley and nwa!! The staple menu items are great, but the Chef specials are the best options in my opinion.. had the Punjabi Pasta, the flavor was amazing the pasta was perfectly cooked. Just the right amount of spice. This is a must eat in the River Valley!! read more

I have eaten many places that serve chicken tikka masala all over the US, but this place, hands down, is THE BEST. Not only is the chicken tender, extremely flavorful and perfectly cooked, the restaurant is very clean, tables are always shiny! The service here is excellent. The staff here is amazing. They're kind and attentive. The restaurant is in a hidden spot by the road, but you don't want to miss out on this tikka masala OR the butter chicken. My husband and I have eaten here over and over working in Ft.Smith and we crave this at least once a week. They also offer smaller portions of their food, which is perfect for lunch time. Not expensive, very satisfying. read more

R & R's Curry Express - Chicken tikka masala - dinner portion (comes with naan). - Indian Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

SO GOOD! As a Bengali (my parents are from Bangladesh), I truly appreciate the home-cooked feel. As soon as we sat down & I could see all the Aunties in the kitchen cooking, I knew it was going to be good! To be honest, I was very skeptical. We have recently moved here (my husband and I) from the DFW, TX area, which also have a big South Asian community. I'm so glad to be proven wrong. I have the chicken vindaloo, spicy and it was the RIGIT amount of spice. My husband has the lamb masala. It was served with rice, both dishes. We also ordered garlic naan with it and oh my goodness that was good! You could see the garlic in the naan! We also got an order (comes with 2) of the veggie samosa, one for each of us. One is pretty big! I told my husband that I wouldn't mind this being a go-to place for us! read more

Best customer service ever! Loved the food (chicken tiki masla) and dessert! Will definitely be coming back!

The food was amazing along with the service. I was treated very kindly and food was brought out fast. The manager was so kind to give us a free appetizer and dessert. I will for sure come back read more

The food was pretty good. About average in taste a in price. I have tried Indian food from many places & it is my favorite type of food. At R &R, I ordered everything at medium spice. Chicken biryani was severely lacking in flavor at medium. Chicken tikka masala was okay, but I definitely wished there was more flavor. The only dish that seemed pretty standard in flavor at a medium spice level was the butter chicken, which I may go one level of spice up from next time. The naan was kind of chewy, undercooked and very greasy, but it wasn't the worst I've had. The gulab jamun dessert was an oddly thick and spongy texture compared to what I'm used to but the taste was okay. Unfortunately for the price, I am not sure I'd return again. I have honestly had frozen dinners of these dishes that were better. read more

BEST. Y'all, this is my comfort food. I've eaten my way through the menu. Can't beat the standard staples, (umm tiki masala) expansive and delicious selection. The pakora are like Heaven drops. Try all the naan varieties. All of them. And their sauces. Obviously food gets 5 stars, but my favorite part about R&R is the owner and staff. They are always so friendly and helpful with suggestions. It's always clean and they keep great hours. And to go orders are fast and generous. LOCAL gem! We love you, R&R! read more

R & R's Curry Express - Curry chicken casserole - Indian Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

I love and adore R&R, and they really went above and beyond this time. A lot of times I'll just get a whole bunch, and have leftovers and midnight snacks for DAYS. All time favorites: bengan lamb (a creamed eggplant delight with lamb), ginger soup (a warm and refreshing ginger bisque), Samosa Chaat (Affectionately referred to in our house as Indian biscuits and gravy, because it's the delightful stuffed pastries smothered in this incredible chickpea sauce). Today we added some other stuff on, and the all star hits were malai kofta (dumplings! Heavenly dumplings! Yes I did swoon) and gulab jamun (flash fried cream balls immersed in a sweet syrup- it's a mouth full of cavity but ohhhh what a bite). And we got a sweet hand written love note! Squeee! Sorry no pictures of the actual food- made it disappear too fast! read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. Ordered through DoorDash - I got butter chicken very spicy and chicken tika masala very spicy... the food... not spicy in the slightest and the flavor is not there at all.. but honestly why would I think spending $50 on Indian food in Arkansas would be a good idea...Would not recommend :( read more

Amazing food, great service, and an authentic Indian ambiance. You get a ton of food and everything is exquisite, I have not tried something that I did not like. The people there are super friendly and helpful. I'm definitely going to be making a habit of eating at this restaurant! read more

It is the only Indian restaurant in town. The butter chicken is tandoori chicken in a butter sauce! It's excellent and I have tried it several times. It comes with basmati rice and naan like most of their dinner dishes. Try the roti over the naan if you want a thinner wheat tortilla shaped bread instead (picture shows naan and roti on the right) The shrimp vindaloo is also very tasty with lots of shrimp! read more

We walked in about 40 minutes before closing which I hate to do but the reviews really made us choose to go ahead and go anyway. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and cheerful. I asked for their suggestion and our waitress suggested the vindaloo so I went ahead and ordered it hot with chicken. My husband had the chicken tikka masala (also hot) and we had plain and garlic naan. The vindaloo was absolutely fantastic. Seriously the flavor was out of this world. 10/10. Would eat there again tomorrow for lunch. Definitely go. read more

This place is pretty freaking good! I ordered a mango lassi and a #14 with the mixed veggies and it came with a side of rice and naan. The lassi was very rich and thick which was a plus for me. Usually, I run through 2 of those by the time I finish my food but here I just needed the one. I also really enjoyed my mixed veggies and rice as well as the portion. My food was served hot and had a lot of flavor with the right amount of spice for me. The naan on the other hand was bleh. It was not bad but I wouldn't care to order the plain one as a side. The next time I come here I am going to order the garlic naan and see if that's any better. read more

While on a business trip, I stopped for gas and once I got out of my car, I could smell the most delicious aroma of Indian food. To the right of the gas station there was the R & R Curry Express, I had to stop in for a quick lunch. The inside of the restaurant is decorated very festive. I was greeted and seating and told the specials of the day. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Marsala, it was served with basmati rice and naan bread. You can ordered your Marsala mild to extra spicy. My order came out sizzle hot, with large pieces of tender chicken breast in a very tasty Marsala sauce. The rice and freshly made naan bread was delicious. I'm looking forward to my next visit to R & R Curry. read more
