Curry Heights

All the food was great. The mulligatawny soup is very tomatoe-​y but they warned me verbally about that and I enjoyed it, although I like it with a bit more lentil ultimately. The vindaloo is really spicy, which is exactly what I wanted. The rice had good flavor and a bit of oil in it and cumin. The sauces with the papadam were the most memorable thing especially the coriander (nice and tangy and dairy free) and the tamarind sauce, nice and fruity, not sugary and thin.

I have had Indian food many times in London, Tokyo and New York, and can say that Curry Heights was delicious and as good as the best of them. Okay, my chair was a little creaky, but our waiter was very friendly and added to our enjoyment of the dinner on a Saturday night. Lots of parking meters around as well — free after 7pm. The place was full.
The lamb tikka masala, their flavored rice which comes with all curries, and their lightly garlic seasoned naan were especially good. We also had some tiny tandoori chicken wings, and a creamy broccoli dish — both very good. And my son liked the mango lassi.
As their rice was soooo good and perfectly cooked, next time I would like to try their biryani. Our waiter also suggested the fried breaded chicken lollipops for our kids, sounded great, but we were trying to avoid gluten that week so turned it down. Anyhow all our dishes were really delicious; I am sure that in NY the taste of their food is one of the best, and the ambiance of our waiter too.

I love Curry Heights and I dont care who knows it! Being a white girl from California, I don’t purport to be an expert in Indian food and I cannot weigh in on the authenticity of the cuisine at Curry Heights, but there is literally nothing to hate about this place. Their meal deal, at $ 14.95, is my go-​to each and every time. The food is hot, fresh, flavorful and just all around wonderful. I also think the paneer at Curry Heights is the best I have had anywhere in the vicinity, they just cook it perfect every time. Their naan is perfection. When I order out, the delivery is quick, and when I eat in, the servers are incredibly nice and attentive, so much so that I feel as if I do not deserve such quality service for the very reasonably prices.
If you want pretentious Indian food with expensive alcohol and small portions, I recommend Dosa Royale on Court (no hate, I go there too and its wonderful– just a different vibe). Otherwise, Curry Heights its where its at. All day every day baby.

Really friendly staff & really tasty food! My favorite food is chicken korma and mango lassi.

I don’t have Indian food often, but sometimes the craving for heavily fragrant and hearty food unexpectedly hits, and then nothing else will do. When it does, my feet often turn in here to Curry Heights.
In the afternoon, the lunch specials are clearly popular with the local businessfolk who quickly fill up the tables to dine and powwow. As a result, I tend to get takeout, and whether I order through Grubhub or Seamless, my food is always ready well before the estimated time. A favorite of mine is the chana masala, a sauce-​heavy blend of tomato, onions, and a bevy of spices that my untrained palate always has a hard time teasing apart. Still, every other spoonful unearths the odd bay leaf or whole cardamom seeds, which coyly reveal just a few of the ingredients in the magical, spicy, winter-​thawing blend. If I’m really hungry, I’ll also indulge in an order of samosas, which are pastries that are stuffed with a savory blend of potatoes, peas, and lentils and then deep fried (there’s also a lamb and green pea version available). Though there are only two per serving (for $ 3.50), I’m often overstuffed after polishing these off, rendering me sleepy and unproductive for a full afternoon of work.
Currently, they’re running an special through their website (
) that allows you to take $ 5 off your purchase of $ 20 or more with the coupon code HOTSPICE. As the cashier handed over the paper advertisement, he whispered, somewhat conspirationally, «Or you can use the code CURRYLOVE to get 10% off».
Whether that was meant to be kept a secret or not, I figured I’d share it with the Unilocal community anyway. Enjoy while it lasts!

Amazingly, every time I get this food it is consistent. Still great, across seasons, months, commutes.

Great place to grab lunch. The food is authentic and fresh and the staff if very friendly.

Fast, cheap Indian food with solid lunch specials. Decent amount of space though a bit dark/​dreary. Note: I’ve only had the large-​batch prepared stuff under the glass, never ordered from the menu at the table.

It seems the low rating reviews are mostly for the delivery from here, because eating in was a pretty good experience and the food was delicious. Maybe it also had to do with the fact that it was pretty empty with it being between Christmas and New Years?
Anyway, our server was helpful in suggesting a few vegan options from the vegetable curry section, and I went with the Mixed Vegetable Curry. It had a great combination of flavors, a little bit spicy-​hot but nothing that made my mouth burn or anything. It also wasn’t super heavy or oily like some curries I have had elsewhere.
Service was good. Our water glasses were refilled a few times without us needing to ask for it, and they gladly brought another bowl of rice when we requested it. The only weird thing that puzzled me was that the entire time we were there, they were moving giant metal racks through the dining area into the kitchen from outside. Just not something you’d expect to see while eating dinner.

I’m visiting from Detroit and staying at the Marriot Brooklyn Bridge, this is very close within walking distance. I ordered chicken tika Mattela it was the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Rocky, my waiter was extremely kind and hospitable, made me feel right at home. A must go if you like Indian food.

the first time i walked into this restaurant there was no body in sight. ended up going somewhere else. But this time i took my roommate out for indian food since we were craving for it. All things aside, the food was amazing!
Pros
Amazing food with nice ambience.
Cons
Could do better on service
Salt Lassi could be better

This place has a great LUNCH DELIVERY SPECIAL available through Seamless. For about $ 14, you get an appetizer, a main entrée, rice, and naan. The appetizer and entrée variety selection is HUGE as are the portions themselves. I have a very healthy appetite for Indian food, but couldn’t even finish the lunch, it was so filling.
The vegetable samosas are delicious, perfectly crispy and savory. The chicken tikka masala was a HUGE portion. The chicken was excellent, all white chicken meat, cooked perfectly tender. However, I wasn’t a big fan of the curry sauce. It was much sweeter than I’m used to, and definitely not spicy at all, which is why I was a little bit disappointed. The naan and rice are great (I mean… can you really screw those up?).
Overall, this is a yummy place to order lunch delivery from, with an impressive variety of items available for the lunch box. Personally, if I’m in midtown, I prefer Darbar Grill which has an equally large lunch box but for only $ 9. A lunch of $ 14 is a little bit overpriced, but still reasonable.

Delicious Indian food. Best lunch hour deal in the area with lots of options and quick service!
Their chicken tikka masala is the best I’ve had.

No frills service but Good Indian Food.
Gets the job done when you have a hankering for Indian food.

OK, did the delivery thing again and this time it was perfect! I didn’t really comment too much on the food last time, so here goes. Curry Heights more than delivers on taste, quality and portion size. Compared to some of the other places I’ve eaten in NY, this is probably near the top.
The samosas are nice and crunchy on the outside, and filled with seasoned potatoes and peas (my preference). You get two nice sized pieces in the order.
Loved the Chicken Tandoori Masala. Tender and delicious. The Aloo Mattar Gobhi was perfectly spiced. Naan — big and fluffy.
Yeah, this is my go-​to for Indian in BK.

Listen. Listen. LISTEN. this place. This darned place. I’ve ordered from them throughout my three years at Brooklyn Law, and they never disappoint. I’m writing this review about five minutes after I just devoured the three entrée lunch box, which I had with chicken tikka, chicken vindaloo and goat curry. I’ve had a lot of Indian food, and I always appreciate a fantastic lamb or goat dish whether it’s curry or biryani, and Curry Heights has one of the best goat curries I have ever had. Perfectly tender, succulent and flavored, even if the idea of a gamey meat makes you uneasy, their goat curry will change your mind and palette quickly.
The chicken is always great, but their variety of curry is impressive.
I also opted for an order of the lamb samosas, which was a mistake only because I had a food overload. But the lamb was delicious. A bit salty and oily, but it’s a lamb samosa – that’s to be expected.
My only critique, if you can call it that, is that they don’t leave the bay leaves whole, so if you aren’t careful, you’ll get a piece of leaf in a bite of food, which as we all know, is not pleasant.
Otherwise, I love this restaurant. Oh and also, the delivery guys really really are gentlemen.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area, mainly due to its lunch specials, which offer a variety of food to pick and choose from. My usual combo is the tandoori chicken with a non veg curry which is always consistently good.
I usually go with chicken tikka masala for the curry which is boneless pieces of chicken in a heavenly tomato cream gravy. I don’t like dark meat in chicken much and this seems to be one of the few Indian places which uses chicken breast pieces in curries. The tandoori chicken too is tender, juicy and incredibly tasty, with a choice of boneless or bone-​in pieces served with sauteed onions and peppers.
The naan served with lunch is soft and fluffy and the perfect vehicle to sop up the curry. The curry is also served with rice which I almost always have to skip because its a lot of food!
I really like this place for its consistency and also because it doesn’t seem to skimp on portions at all!

Everything you expect from a good Indian food joint. Cheap. Big portions. Plenty of choices. Lunch specials are incredible — entrée with 1, 2 or 3 sides. Food tastes fresh. Counter and wait staff are pleasant. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Awesome lunch specials! A lot of food!!! Tandoori chicken is really good. The staff is friendly.

This place easily gets 4 stars.
The food was incredible. I had the chicken Tikka masala with rice and it was sooo good.
I came here with my friend Saturday evening after peeping the Festival of Lights show in Dumbo. We were in the mood for Indian after we tried to get into an Indian spot in dumbo but got denied because we didn’t have reservations. Meh.
We hopped on the train and made our way to Curry heights. It’s easy to get to but a little hidden when you reach the block its on so keep your eyes peeled.
The food and service were equally spectacular! The waiters are so nice and accommodating. Inside is quiet and calm and you feel a zen vibe while eating. This place is perfect for a quiet and intimate romantic date night or if you want to come with a friend to have a good meal and talk.
I cannot wait to come back here, and yes, I WILL be coming back here :)
