Curry Leaf Indian Restaurant

I was impressed with Curry Leaf. The decor is cool, relaxing...on the elegant side. The incredible, delicious fragrance that hit my nose as I entered assured me that tasty things awaited me. My friend, Harriet, and I like to do family style and take home leftovers. We ordered Goat Curry Leaf, Prawns Masala, Bindi Masala and the Spring Dosa. Iced Chai and Salted Lassi were our beverages. Everything was delightful. Tender goat in a tangy sauce. Large shrimp cooked just right in the velvety Masala sauce. Okra cooked in a spicy stir fry style....no gooey or smiley okra...tender and full of flavor. The huge dosa (rather like a bubbly crepe) was filled with spiced potatoes and shredded vegetables. Sambal and a delightful coconut chutney were there to dip the dosa in. My salted lassi was seasoned just right...lightly salted and with a bit of cumin...just enough to make the drink savory. Carrier's iced chai tea was "very nice". The meal was topped off with Kheer and Mango Custard. Cooling, refreshing desserts to top off a great meal. The service was great. Smiles all 'round. Care was taken to assure the accuracy of our orders and the level of heat desired. The Curry Leaf is definitely going on our list for many future visits. Especially with the dosa, uttapam availability. Gluten-free is no work here.

The first time I and my husband went here we ordered Indo-chinese ( Manchurian) and hence gave a 4* . Now that we have been here more than three times I wanna update my rating because , Everytime was better than the previous experience. We being vegetarians we had a lot of options in the buffet. The weekend buffet is delicious North Indian food. I loved the garlic naan. It had perfect crispy and smoky texture. The Wednesday buffet is a surprise indeed with unlimited Dosa and Idlis with 7 varieties of chutneys and tangy sambar. In the ala carte we loved their chettinaad Dosa ; the flavours were similar to a south-Indian restaurant. This is surely a must visit restaurant if you are a authentic south-Indian and a punjabi food lover.

We were in the area for balloon festival and were searching for best indian places to eat. This place showed up at 3/4 th place. I called them and made a reservation for 4. The initial interaction was very friendly when other Indian places were not taking reservations they took our reservations. We went to their buffet. It was fresh flavorful and had a mix of veg and non veg items. My favorite item on buffet was saag paneer , lamb curry and gulab jamun .Everything else was also really good. They serve fresh naan on the table and their masala chai was awesome . We loved the food service ambiance and atmosphere so much that we went back again to get food to go for our trip back to Grants where we were staying. I will come back again and recommend this place to my friends and family.

Best Indian food I’ve had. Very friendly service. Owner came by to check that everything was to our satisfaction. Delicious hot food.

Our daughter and son-in-law were married in Ranchi, India in January 2023, in an elaborate, multiday ceremony. Because very few friends and family in the US were able to attend such a far-away wedding, we held a reception for everyone in Albuquerque, in May 2023. We tried to make it as Indian in style and flavor as possible, to show people what an Indian wedding is like. Our event space was decorated in Indian style, with a multi-color cloth backdrop behind the wedding couple, Indian elephants, and even a statue of Ganesh at the entry. We hired a woman to apply henna designs like in the traditional Mehendi ceremony. But our best decision by far was to hire Curry Leaf Restaurant to cater the reception. Working with Mr. Ajay Dhiman, we selected a menu of appetizers, chicken and vegetarian entrees, naan, rice, dahl, and a delicious dessert, rasmalai. Mr. Dhiman drove all the way out from Albuquerque to walk the event space in the East Mountains several days beforehand. We discussed where to place the buffet tables, whether there was room for one or two serving lines, where the appetizers could be served separately, and several other important details. On the day of the reception, Curry Leaf arrived with about five total workers to unload the food and set up the chafing dishes. They provided table cloths and serving spoons for the buffet. The set up was fast and efficient, and the buffet looked lovely (especially the antique style copper and brass serving dishes for the appetizers) and smelled heavenly. The quality of the food was simply outstanding. There was a mixture of dishes that were more mild in flavor, like navratan korma, and dishes with a richer flavor of Indian spices like karahi chicken and daal makhani. A particular favorite was the chicken makhani, or butter chicken, prepared Delhi style. And finally the rasmalai provided a wonderfully rich and creamy dessert. All of our guests raved about how delicious it all was. Throughout the dinner Mr. Dhiman and three servers from Curry Leaf paid careful attention to the buffet line and dining tables. They were smiling, friendly and gracious throughout. They kept all the chafing dishes full with fresh food, and collected empty plates from the tables in the dining room, stacking them in the kitchen. Some even circulated to pour water from our pitchers. This was all a pleasant surprise for me, since I hadn’t thought about the need for these tasks, but they did them anyway without being asked. Throughout the dinner everyone from Curry Leaf was unfailingly polite and gracious. Mr. Ajay Dhiman remained present to supervise, and to check with me for when to start serving appetizers, when to begin the main buffet line, and when to close the buffet and clear the plates. Once the buffet had ended and the guests were dancing to the DJ, the Curry Leaf team packed up all their chafing dishes and cleaned the kitchen thoroughly. They even packed up the leftovers from the buffet in aluminum food trays for people to take home. In summary, we had an outstanding experience with Curry Leaf catering our event, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a similar service. Mr. Ajay Dhiman was excellent to work with, and carefully communicated with us throughout the process. He made insightful suggestions about the buffet set up, the number of servers needed, the timing of dishes, and many other topics. His professional attitude and steady reliability was fantastic. Overall I give Curry Leaf a five-star recommendation.

I love this restaurant, the food is savory and delicious. Everyone here is always so kind and attentive. It hits all areas for me. Good vibes, superior food with alllll the flavor. Fresh Naan which is a superstar in its own right. Thank you Curry Leaf!
