I absolutely LOVE this place. Been going for almost 15 years and I see NO reason to ever stop going. Simply the best Indian food in the whole city hands down.

Best hidden gem I have found in a while! Actually my husband found it out from a work buddy and suggest I try it. So glad I did! I've had 2 other Indian places in the past and surprising to me, I've really enjoyed this type of food. This place has been the best so far. The place doesn't look like much on the outside and it's simple on the inside, but don't let that fool you. The employees there did not say much, but made sure our empty plates were cleared when needed. They also had food coming out constantly to replace empty trays at the buffet. Being as I'm still new to trying Indian food, I am so glad this was a buffet and I got about 1-2 bite size servings of almost everything offered. I don't remember a lot of the names, so I can't pinpoint what I liked the most exactly, but there was a spicy chicken I believe called "555-chicken" and it was so tasty. The spice was just right that you get the heat, but it's not over powering. I'm pretty sure I had a tofu dish, it had a green sauce on it. It was a little bland, but the sauce gave it some good light flavor. Im not a vegetarian, but it's worth mentioning that they did have several vegetarian dishes available, clearly labeled. The dosa surprised me. It reminded me of a crepe and I dipped it in a few curries, but oddly enough I loved it with the mango custard. The Gulab Jamun are delicious! Can't leave without having 2-3 of those juicy desserts. Oh, and try the carrots!!! You won't be disappointed. I need the recipe so I can get my kids to eat carrots. There were a couple things that taste odd to me, but nothing that wasn't edible. This little place is now our go to for curry!

For clarification purposes, this review is based on a takeout order. Therefore, there are no comments regarding interior of restaurant, such as, decor, cleanliness, or friendliness of staff. Our order consisted of butter chicken, chicken korma, goat curry, and chicken biryani, rice, and naan. I can't say enough good things about the food. Complex flavors and very tender chicken and goat. All the entrees were amazing. Just enough heat to make it interesting and not so much that you were miserable. I love spicy food without pain, and Curry Bowl delivered! If you love Indian this should definitely be at the top of your list, we will be ordering again in the future. Put this on your list of must trys. I will leave a future review of brick and mortar if we go, instead of takeout.

I tried out the weekend buffet and was not disappointed. Before dining here, I stopped by 2 other Indian restaurants to see what they had on their buffets. Out of the 3, Curry Bowl had the better variety for me. I only eat from the vegetarian side, so the meat side was irrelevant to me. The restaurant felt homey and the service was good. They were quick to discard dirty dishes from my table and left am entire pitcher of water on the table for me. The place appears to be a small, family owned business with authentic Indian dishes and flavor. The weekend buffet is a bit more expensive at 16.99 because of the bigger variety. The weekday buffet has less options but also cost a few dollars less. Also, they are closed on Tuesdays. The taste of the food was good and exceeded my expectations. As of now, this is my go-to Indian restaurant for a weekend buffet.

Been here once before. Great food. Have tried 7 things and each one has been great. Little on the quiet side but we were dining late. Will be back.

Curry Bowl never misses! I came here for the second time this past weekend with a friend, and I was once again blown away by the quality of the food! I had a samosa, Chicken 65, basmati rice, and I washed it down with their incredible mango lassi! I highly recommend Curry Bowl! I can't wait to go back and try my next dish!

Don't let the outside and general location fool you, this place is worth it! We arrived at 11:30am on a Saturday and had the seating area to ourselves. The first thing I tried to order was out, so I went with the Chicken Saagwala. I ordered it Spicey and with a side of cheese naan. My wife ordered the butter chicken, medium spice level and garlic naan. There seemed to be a lot of takeout orders ahead of us, so we did wait a while for our food. It was worth every minute! This was some of the best Indian food I have had, and the spice was on point. The wife loved her butter chicken. I wish I lived closer because I would eat here far more often. The service was friendly and prompt.

Visited here with a friend for their lunch buffet. As others have noted, the parking sucks. Once inside, we noted that the interior is also nothing to write home about, but the service was friendly and genuine. There has also been a fair amount of discussion about the heat levels in the food. As much as I love Indian, I usually err on the side of caution and order mild. I can stand some heat unless it keeps me from actually tasting the food. Part of why I love Indian food is because of the wide array of vegetarian dishes. Curry Bowl is absolutely no different here. There were several vegetarian options that were also not horribly spicy. They also kept the pans stocked and rotated on the buffet, even though we were there in the hour before the buffet closed. I'm not sure I'd make a special trip, but if in the area, I'd give it another go.
