Being a huge fan of pizza I see it as a duty to try as many different types and restaurants I can. However, I have often been left unsatisfied by Indian fusion pizzas (such as curry pizzas). I thought maybe they just aren’t for me, then came Curry Pizza House a buck to the trend. It is not only the best curry pizza I’ve had, but it is also among some of the best pizza I’ve had overall. I’ve been quite a few times and the staff is usually quick to take your order. However, they aren’t very quick to clean the tables after guests leave. Once you order, expect a reasonable 15-minute wait for your food. My personal favorite is the Chilli Paneer pizza, it has a great balance of spice, paneer, and veggies. The fresh cilantro really ads depth to the flavor of the pizza. I’ve also had the Shahi Paneer, Palak Paneer, and Achari Gobhi. However, none are as good as the Chili Paneer, though they are worth a try. The prices are decent, considering you get a whole heap of toppings, a large pizza will feed about 3 people. Overall, Curry Pizza House is a standout restaurant among both Indian cuisine and pizza. It is a must try for everyone, I would definitely recommend you try it.

Touch of Asia – Menu with Prices – 6860 W 105th St, Overland Park

Ordered: Aloo Gobhi | Extra Spicy | Chapatti without butter | Onion/Chillies on the side Review: INCREDIBLE. Taste of Asia’s Aloo Gobhi is so special! The Gobhi (Cauliflower) was not too oily, not soggy, and perfectly tender, which to me, is most important! The visuals and the aromatics of my entire meal really made me nostalgic of meals I would have in my mom’s kitchen. Also, Touch of Asia’s rice was explained to me be vegan! Note: Coming from an Indian heritage and transitioning from a Vegetarian Lifestyle to a Vegan Lifestyle, has really allowed me to focus and appreciate Dry Indian Vegetable dishes; like Aloo Gobi, Binda Masala, Aloo Palak compared to animal-cream based dishes like Malai Kofta or Dal Makani, for example. Likewise, appreciating different types of Indian Bread beyond Garlic Naan; like Chapati or Puri, to name a few vegan breads offered at Touch of Asia. Touch of Asia offers quite the variety of Indian Breads, I suggest practitioners of all diets to explore ethnic menus beyond what’s familiar/comfortable to them, as I have! It’s quite fun! Critiques/Suggestions/Gratitude: Suggestion: As a Vegan, I am always going to advocate every restaurant to denote on their menus what IS already vegan or what CAN be prepared that way. Accurate denoting of what is/or can be vegan on a restaurant’s menu, really makes a diner like myself more comfortable and confident about their dining decision and, frankly, willingness to recommend. Touch of Asia has a LOT of menu items that are authentically vegan even without alterations. Why not label them as so? Suggestion: Promote/market your South Indian Menu a bit more; it looks promising! Gratitude: Wonderful and welcoming Team! Gratitude: Giving a FULL 5 star, based on Flavor! Thank you for taking care of me and understanding my diet!

Curry Bliss – Indian Vegetarian Restaurant & Banquet – Menu with Prices – 101 S Coit Rd #359, Richardson

We went for the afternoon lunch buffet on a Saturday. (The weekend price @ 12.99). I heard the price is cheaper for weekdays. For the price, i would say some more was expected. However, there were several good dishes on the menu that overall i would give it 4 stars on 5 stars. Notable is their pumpkin curry. Dishes that need improvement are the sambhar which looks very similar to their rasam. (The rasam was good). And there was a dish called shahi paneer. It was not good when we had it. It was either few days old or the paneer and curry did not blend well and something was wrong with the curry. We ended up wasting everything we poured for shahi panned on our plates. The buffet also includes fresh naan and Dosa which was good with the chutney on the buffet stand. There was idly but they were not fresh so we did not try them out. There was also curd rice which was good (It was not sour and the taste was good. But it needed nuts and raisin). There was good vada on the menu which i liked. I am not rating this restaurant too negatively because overall, it was a hearty meal we had. Much better than the Madras Pavillion (where i had my graduation lunch. A horrible mistake). They have redone it very nice. Bit advice to the owner. Try to improve on the dishes mentioned in this review, maybe Americans cannot find the difference between hot idly and cold idly. But indians in the dallas area as far as i know are not forgiving. Overall kudos for changing madras pavillion, that one had to go. (I used to notice a ton of cockroaches back then, i noticed only one near the billing counter on my visit !!! Not sure how you’d get rid of german cockroaches but you have done a good job)

Bangali Sweets And Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 2985 Pembina Hwy, Winnipeg

This place just opened up in the strip mall near the old log cabin Mcdonalds, in the same spot that the old Santa Lucia used to be. This brand new Indian restaurant is 100% vegetarian! My mom and I ordered the Veg. Thali which comes with 3 dishes of your choice, rice, yoghurt, and a gulab jamon. I had the vegetable kofta, chana masala, and shahi paneer. The platter also comes with a big basket of naan which were fresh and delicious. The service is kind of awkward (I think it is the son of the owner, he has no serving experience) but the food is so good. They also have a huge selection of Indian sweets for between 6-8 dollars a pound. Try this place!

Simha/ Paradise Biryani Pointe Menu with Prices suite d, 5310 Windward Pkwy suite d, Alpharetta

We catered from Simha for my kids first birthday and the accomodation, quality, flavor and service had been nothing short of impeccable. Kudos and bravo to a job very well done! We were very impressed and are appreciative of the restaurants commitment and passion to delivering an excellent service. Honestly could not have asked for more, they were patient in gathering our feedback over 3 rounds of extensive tasting and ensured they got the taste and texture to our liking on the dishes. All the guests enjoyed the foold and were very appreciative of the taste. Especially it was great to have the tea to extend our party and relax after the party The following dishes were catered, and all the dishes had been done with care, but achari paneer, malai kofta and nilgiri chicken were exceptionally good. Chilli Gobi – 4* Achari Paneer – 5+/5* Chicken 65-4* Malai Kofta – 5+*/5 Bagara Bengan – 5* Nilgiri Chicken 5+*/5 Gulab Jamun – 5/5 From a service standpoint 1. When we were not that impressed with 1 chef, the owner was accomodating enough to get our dishes prepared by a different chef. 2. Made time to invite us to the restaurant 3 times to ensure he got things prepared to our liking, but never pressured us for a commitment. 3. Additionally we got a hot box full of tea catered and when the tea was slightly high on sugar, they made some more tea and sent it to the party venue 15 miles away to even out the taste. The price was pretty reasonable too. In a crowded Atlanta market of Indian restuarants, we were very glad to have found Simha to cater for our event.

India’s Oven Restaurant And Bar – Menu with Prices – 1153 N Fulton St, Fresno

This review is mainly targeted for vegetarian / Vegan folks. Visited around night time. You might have a better experience during day time. This is my 2nd attempt trying the food here and I didn’t want to give negative ratings to this place, but my hand is being forced because of a few things I noticed. My order: Ordered Navratan Korma, Shahi Paneer, Garlic naan’s, Indian salad, Mango Shake, Basmati Rice, (Chef served free pappad and checked on me how the food was. Thank you, chef) Price: Approx $43-$44 Taste test and ratings: 1) Garlic naan’s 10/10 (Very well cooked, a Nice portion of butter and cilantro, Garlic was properly infused in butter, not too well done nor undercooked. Good job). The only reason I gave two stars to this review. 2) Navratan Korma 0/10 rating (Vegetables where raw, it was a bit too spicy, Just basic plain sauce with a load of creme) – $12 for 14 oz 3) Shahi Paneer 3/10 rating (Paneer was dropped into the sauce in chunks, Tomato sauce was way too tangy for shahi paneer. Just not the impressive recipe. I have a feeling they use color and canned pure for tomatoes) – $12 for 14 oz. 4) Mango Shake 2/10 rating (Way too much sugar, no toppings such as cashew, pistachio, Artifical mango pulp is used even though summers are mango season, I could notice the extreme used of artificial coloring) 5) Indian salad 5/10 ( just simple onions with a lemon wedge and green chili) 6) Basmati Rice 4/10 rating (Rice had good texture but the use of cumin was so wrong it totally destroyed the taste. Cumin was raw not roasted properly. You should avoid using cumin in its raw form) Thank you, chef, for the free pappad (It was definitely properly roasted and delicious) & Thank you for checking up on me how the food was. BTW- I wasn’t ready to give out on spot review because it was a bit early for me especially when I didn’t even start eating the food. I hope you understand and improve on the recipes. Service Quality: OK (Management need to keep an eye and learn to manage better especially during night time). This is how north India bar & grill started and they were doing very good until their management stop taking care of things and they end up shutting down their business. Fresno is a hard and challenging place to run a good Indian restaurant. Please, improve your recipes and quality of service. The waitress was a nice and sweet girl. I believe she is being assigned more work then she can handle. They had a lot more employees just sitting around and doing nothing but chit-chatting. Very disappointing. The waitress checked up on me 2-3 times but after I was done with my meal, I was just waiting for the past 15 minutes for someone to come and collect the money from me. I had to personally walk to the cashier and make payment. I noticed she was assigned some other task of sorting utensils while two other ladies and one gentleman was just sitting and laughing. I hope your managers read this review and delegate work properly. Thank you for your service.

Coriander Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 11214 76 Ave NW, Edmonton

A hidden gem. Coriander is not in the most obvious of locations but convenient none the less. Tucked away in McKernan they’ve transformed two old small spaces into a larger restaurant that is clean and quaint. The owners take pride in their new business and it shows as they remembered our friends who had been once before and expressed their gratitude on bringing us in. The value at Coriander is outstanding and you can taste the freshness of the food. We ordered Chaat Papdi, Paneer Tikka, Chili Cheese Naan, Gobi Manchurian, Veg Korma and Safed Paneer. I would give them all a 5* except the Safed Paneer. We ordered that dish on our friends recommendation and she loved it but was not to my taste – so could be differing preferences. All curries come with rice as well which has become unheard of in Indian dining. You usually have to pay $3-$6 more for a bowl of rice which irks me. Service is a touch slow and the food did not come out in a logical order but I believe in time they can fix this. Also our plates weren’t cleared after our meal and we had to call someone over to order dessert and pay at the till. Half our party was Indian and this can be the norm in Indian restaurants so it didn’t bother me too much. If they want to excel in a non ethnic dominated neighbourhood, the service needs some improvement. Overall – lovely staff/owners and delicious food. Go check them out and support a new local business!

Taj Mahal Cuisine of India – Menu with Prices – 3939 Center Point Rd NE, Cedar Rapids

The best Indian food I have had in the USA. I (born and brought up in India, so I know authentic Indian food when I taste it) just moved to CR from California, and didn’t actually have any hope of finding good Indian food. But color me surprised to find the best Indian food I have had in the US. Only 2 words to describe the taste at this restaurant: Authentic and Delicious. I have been to a lot of Indian restaurants in the USA, but they all tone down not only the spice but also the flavor. But not here at Tajmahal! I was so happy to taste the authentic Indian taste in each and every item. The food isn’t too spicy but still ensures to be very flavorful, which is the sign of a really good Chef. The first bite that I took of the mutter paneer, took my tastebuds back to India. The food is just bursting with flavor and aroma . The goat curry was almost exactly the way my mom makes it in India. The chicken tandoor was very well cooked and the flavor went all the way to the bone. Most Indian restaurants (in the USA) won’t have south Indian cuisine, but I was delighted to find Dosa (sort of a crepe with spiced potato filling ) an authentic South Indian dish. The vegetarian dishes like chana masala and mutter paneer were 10/10. The mango lassi was brilliant, the perfect amount of mango, milk and sugar. Desserts: the mango ice cream was awesome and the gulab jamun were pretty good aswell. I have been there only a couple of times and that too for a buffet. I can only imagine how much more tasty the food would be when you order it off the menu and can ask them to make it according to your taste and choice. Pros: Great Food. Great service. Indian grocery store is right besides the restaurant. Cons: Ambiance of the place isn’t bad but it could be much better. I have also visited “Taste of India”, which has a much better ambiance (good food as well), but is no where near in terms of the REAL taste of India which you get at Tajmahal. I definitely plan to be a regular at this place and would suggest everyone to try the food at this small restaurant with a big heart !

Vinny?s Greek and Indian Grill – Menu with Prices – 110 Southside Square, Huntsville

So the way I do reviews is that I go into every restaurant as it being 5 stars and it can go down but also they can earn their way back up. I was in DT HSV taking pictures one night and saw Vinny’s. I came a few weeks later with my family. We walked into the place and it seemed very high class however it was 6pm and nobody else was in there (besides the staff). The service was obviously quick. The menu was more Indian than Greek (which is fine, just pointing it out). We ordered samosas and spanakopita. The pastry on the spanakopita was undercooked and we had to send it back. The samosas were only minis which was extremely disappointing. They also are most likely frozen ready-made samosas. The “sauces” in the middle of the dishes are definitely not traditional Indian (or Indian for that matter) nor Greek to my knowledge. It was marinara sauce… The spanakopita came back, cooked decently this time. Soon after, the food came. We ordered chicken tikka masala and paneer tikka masala. The “naan” and rice were “free”(food was overpriced). The naan was really some sort of whole wheat flatbread and not actual naan. Our paneer(cheese cube, completely vegetarian) tikka masala was SUPPOSED to be vegetarian but there was a decent amount of chicken in there. The paneer was not very good and was not restaurant style. The tikka masala (sauce) was decent but tasted very typical among Indian households. The food was also way overpriced, nearly $10 for apps and $15 for entree. In summary Frozen samosas Marinara sauce Undercooked spanakopita Naan? Chicken in paneer Average to slightly below average food Overpriced Not coming back

Bhojan Xpress Menu with Prices 1105 Bellevue Way NE A4, Bellevue

Bhojan Xpress is located in a very busy strip mall in downtown Bellevue, so be prepared to fight for a parking spot with the Facing East, Boiling Point, and other tenant customers! Lucky for me, it was a short walk from my office, and I checked out this spot at lunch. You order at the counter, and the staff will prepare your meal from the pre-cooked curry dishes on display. The food goes in a high quality microwaveable plastic tupperwear container and the signage around the spot indicates it’s popular for takeout and delivery. There are only a few small tables inside and two tables outside, so I would not recommend going in a large group. I felt like the inside felt too stuffy, so I sat outside by the parking lot. The food itself was good. They don’t ask for level of spice, but I found the saag paneer to have a bit of a bite to it and the butter chicken to be extremely mild. With most curry dishes, I expect more sauce than meat, but there were only a few small pieces of chicken in my scoop, so that was disappointing. The saag paneer was okay but pretty liquidy. I enjoyed the garlic naan on the side with these dishes. Good lunch spot for quick Indian food, and they have a 10% discount for Yelp check-ins.

Peak Restaurant & Bar – Menu with Prices – 3401 W Airport Fwy #110, Irving

I visited this place on a Saturday afternoon for the lunch. The place is situated near to Irving Mall. This place is a restobar and serves the Nepalese and Indian cuisine along with drinks. Now, here is my perspective about the place. Food and Drinks (4.5/5) – I started with a Mango Lassi and it tasted awesome. Then I went on to try a couple of appetizers. Chips Chilli is a must try in appetizers. It’s a dish made of potatoes. I also tried their “Chatpate” dish which is what we call “Bhel Muri” in India. It’s a dish made of rice puffs beiing mixed with peanuts and small diced pieces of cucumber, onion, tomato. Then I went on to try on their Veg Momos which tasted equally good. In the main course, I tried Paneer Vindaloo with Garlic Naan. The curry was made of paneer (cottage chesse) and potatoes. I loved the spiciness of the curry. Finally finished my meal with Indian desserts such as Gulab Jamun and Ras Malai. I am sure u will love the Gulab Jamun here. Service (4.5/5) – I got a very warm welcome from the staff. Jasmine gave me some very good suggestions on what to try. Also, the food was served quick, fresh and hot. Ambience (4.5/5) – The interiors of the place are really good. They have a dim lit kind of ambience. They have 4-5 big TVs playing different sports on each one. So u can enjoy whicever sport u like. They have different kind of seatings (sofa, wooden chairs and high raise chairs near the bar). So you can chose whatever you are comfortable with. Overall, I had a great time here and would love to visit the place again.

Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza – Menu with Prices – 340 Oyster Point Rd #103, Newport News

My coworkers recommended Papa Murphy’s. They all raved about the pizza, so I had to try it. Normally, I would say that Pizza is pizza, but there is something special about Papa’s. Fresh is the key word with Papa. You get to watch the Pizza’s being made right in front of you from ingredients that are clearly fresh. You might get the impression that weighing the pizzas and ingredients is their way of being cheap, but it is actually maintaining consistency with their pizzas. No nasty faux ingredients like that other pizza joint with a similar name. You have to cook your own pizza at home, but I find that refreshing. It allows me to pick up the pizza and bake it at my leisure, so that the pizza is hot and ready to go when I am. I find that better than pizza made miles away, put in a cardboard box and brought to my house 30 minutes (or more) later. My personal favorite is the Chicago stuffed pizza. It’s so big that I can barely eat two slices. My wife loves the Gluten Free pizza too. I spent under $30 for both of those two pizzas, so the price is reasonable with plenty of leftovers. Mmmm! I’ve eaten Papa Murphy’s pizza many times and it is always consistently delicious.

Kumari kitchen Menu with Prices 13020 Morris Rd ste j, Alpharetta

What a magnificent gem of a place. To put it in a nutshell, fresh tasty food, not pricey, ample portion, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, decent service. We went on a Saturday evening. We were the only sit down customers. There were several who came for take-out service. The restaurant is very clean looking, new furniture, several booths that can fit a party of four in addition to tables with chairs that can accommodate several people. We ordered punugalu, pani puri, palak paneer and vegetable korma along with garlic naan and rotis. Punugalu can be described as round medhu vadas. They came with peanut chutney and sambhar both of which tasted so good. The tamarind chutney for the pani puri was a little too thick and the filling looked a little like a dry vegetable dish because it had onions and tomatoes mixed in with the garbanzo – this needs a little work though the idea is good. Both these dishes were served in contemporary white square plates. The palak paneer and the korma were served in small round vessels and each was plenty for two people. Most restaurants serve watery palak paneer that has a dark green color. Here it was as good as homemade. The gravy had the right consistency, the color was a light pleasing green and the paneer cubes were plenty. The vegetable korma also had a thick gravy feel making it easy to pick up with the naan and roti. The naan was good but words cannot describe the roti. You have to visit dhabhas to get rotis as good as what we were served. They had the right thickness, large size and perfectly cooked so that they were not hard or difficult to chew. Next time I am going to request them not to cut it into quarters so that I enjoy the look of a full roti. One of the staff members told me they were working on their service coordination. As far as I am concerned, the food is fabulous and I can put up with a little slow service from a very friendly and accommodating staff.
