Rakesh Ramesh: Initially I was blown away with the reviews and went to this place but unfortunately it was complete disappointment. We went there for lunch buffet $15+taxes. This review is based only on the buffet hoping Ala Carte menu might be better. I would prefer other restaurant in this over this one.1. This place not for somebody who knows Indian and Srilankan food especially people from south part of India will definitely not like this food. I can understand chilli levels will be reduced to accommodate everyone but taste and flavors should be there bare minimum.2. Items were very less to the price but sufficient quantity was there it’s refilled properly. Place was small but it was organized well in the available space.3. Only one meat is provided that is chicken atleast it could have been fresh, chicken in the gravy tasted stale however that gravy taste was nice which is close to the cuisine mentioned in restaurant name.4. Biriyani was like tomato rice in fact tomato rice will taste better this is no where close to any biriyani type or tomato rice type I have never eaten any biryani in Sri Lanka or India like this.5. Saled was fresh and good fortunately that’s what helped to fill myself. Only dessert available was fruit custard but the strawberry or whatever essence was dominating the taste.6. Yellow rice, and veg gravy was not bad but definitely not the tasty ones for sure. Coconut rice was betterLastly the restroom could have had better lighting light was dim as candle light.

Elliot Nolte: The curry is an alarmingly delicious detonation of flavor. There is so much going on in it that I cant identify any individual flavor, my taste buds just transmit "AWESOME" to my limbic system. I have bought take-out from them for two years now, consistently delicious. Amazing food 10/5 stars

Brian Martin: As a lover of Indian food I was excited to try this local spot after seeing the reviews. I was craving my usual lamb seekh kabab dish that I get everywhere and I have to say it was so dry and flavorless I literally could not eat it. Like a charcoal briquette. Maybe the rest of the menu is amazing, but this was the first unedible dish I’ve had anywhere.

Sheeba: OMG, you have got to try this restaurant! It's a hidden gem that we stumbled upon during our trip to Holland. We were a group of 7 ladies from Chicago who were craving some authentic Indian food and this Sri Lankan plus Indian restaurant totally hit the spot. Even though it didn't look fancy from the outside, there were so many people inside that we just had to give it a shot.The staff was super nice and got us seated in no time. We ordered a bunch of stuff - chicken biryani, chicken kotthu, fish curry with yellow rice, masala dosa, and tea. Let me tell you, we were all big time foodies and food critics , and this clearly checked all boxes ! One of the best we have tried here in the US for a long time.The food was so good that we wanted to go back the next day and try their buffet as well, but we just didn't have the time. We were so impressed that I even called the owner, Mithu, personally to thank him for the amazing food and asked him to consider opening a restaurant in Chicago.We don't have a single Sri Lankan restaurant here and we're really missing out. I suggested that he should even consider setting up a pop-up restaurant or food truck so that we could try his food again without having to travel all the way to Grand Rapids /Holland in MI. Fingers crossed that he takes our suggestion seriously and brings his delicious food to Chicago soon!Seriously people - this restaurant is a MUST try if you live in the area or are just visiting - you will NOT be disappointed and of course , no doubt - those 5 star reviews on google and yelp are all genuine ones just like mine!! Give this place a try ASAP if you are an Indian food lover.

Colleen Egleston: This place is amazing! This was our second time dining there and the food is probably the best Indian I’ve ever had, and I’ve had Indian in NYC, Chicago, California and all over Michigan. The Butter Chicken has the most amazing flavor, very deep and complex, the Veggie Samosas were perfect, the Chicken Tikka Marsala was fantastic. Don’t let the sketchy strip mall fool you, in fact the location is probably the only reason there isn’t an hour wait, the food in this little restaurant is giant on flavor. Also one of the cleanest Indian restaurants I’ve eaten in, and it’s the only time we’ve ever been asked if we had any food allergies or dietary restrictions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alex Navarro: Best Indian food I’ve had in Grand Rapids.I’m not an expert but these flavors make my stomach happy. The spicy is spicy.The naan bread is alway crispy.The staff is also super friendly and welcoming. Even when they are slammed, they keep their cool and help everyone out.Vegetarian options: Tons of veggie and vegan options that are t the typical, mmm tastes just like chicken that you don’t want to eat anymore. But actual, legit, delicious dishes

Drew Ayers: The food is very good. It always comes out hot and tasy. BUT expect long wait times. The staff is good and attentive but I believe they are very understaffed so it takes a while if you dine in.Edit: Upped it to 5 stars because of the Saturday lunch buffet.

Anthony Cardinal: Amazing food, service, and atmosphere!!! Going back 100%!!!

Latino Stilo: Decided to try this place because of the many reviews and I like Indian cuisine. The food is amazing, will return.Food: 5/5 …More

C. Albert Thompson: The food here was very good. I felt like I was back ordering food in India. I ordered the lamb tiki masala it comes with a bowl of rice. You should order naan to go along with your food.I also ordered the mango lassi which was very tasty.

Charles Lerg: Knockout food. Have been several times, everything we’ve ordered has been amazing. It’s a must go.

Theepan Navaratnam: Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5More

Paige Mama: The food here is DELICIOUS! According to reviews we do not order anything with bones in it, but everything we have ordered has been amazing. We get common dishes like butter chicken and naan, nothing that we are not familiar with. For a family of five, three meals are more than enough to take home.

Hills (Hillary S.): What a beautiful little restaurant with amazing food and service. From start to finish our meal was amazing---highly recommend!Vegetarian options: A lot of great vegetarian options that are flavorful.Dietary restrictions: Very good about labeling things and also ask if you have any food allergies

Rajavel Alagaraj: We have tried lunch buffet here and the food was delicious ☺️

Mindy Bailie: Absolutely delicious food!! Portion sizes are large and the owners are very nice. It's my favorite place in GR!Dietary restrictions: They always ask if there are any dietary restrictions when you order - very considerate.

Anthony Rodriguez: Everytime I come in I am greeted respectfully. The food is awesome and authentic. Great place to eat Indian food.Vegetarian options: Good amount of vegetarian options.

rosie Tangorra: We had a wonderful feast here yesterday! I am new to Sri Lankan cooking, my family is not so they ordered and it was fabulous. Food so freshly made and so delicious. Thank you.Vegetarian options: There are plenty!Kid-friendliness: Very nice to the 2 with us. They loved the food too.Parking: Right in frontWheelchair accessibility: I have a Walker and it was fine, no steps

Louie H: Really great Indo Chinese dishes here. One of the best Gobi Manchurian (battered Cauliflower stir-fried Chinese style) I’ve had in the US.Rest of the meal was great too. Friendly service.

M Walls: Fast but food was lack luster. Maybe it was a bad day. I'll try it again but it wasn't the best India food in quality.Two years ago I reviewed this place at their old location. Now located in the Radisson, I was still disappointed by this restaurant. The service was little to none existing. I noticed others having to go and ask for service and basic things like cutlery, water, etc. People had dirty plates piled on the tables. Dishes in the "buffet" were 4 curries, plain rice, onion Pokora, and some fruit and veggies with sauces. When asking for more naan, which we thought was included in the buffet and was confirmed by the owner who spent most of his time on his phone, we were told we would be charged extra. Will never come here ever again.Mithu 4309 Kalamazoo Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49508, has better service, variety, the owners constantly check on you and are so friendly and what they say are included in the buffet are included in the price. They usually have 14 different items, along with a couple of drinks, and dessert in the buffet.It's further from here which is the sad thing, but willing to make the drive because they don't deserve my hard earn cash. They clearly showed they didn't want or need it, so if you were there on 10/22/2022 after 1pm, make your review to back this up! Thanks!

Debra NAPIERALSKI: The food was very good, so many excellent choices and you can choose your heat on a scale of 0 to 5, I went with 2.5 and my dinner guest went with 0. I loved the view of the Grand River while dining, and the restaurant was so quiet it was very relaxing. I had the Mango Lamb and Naan, and would order it again. I noticed that there were a lot of take out orders, but at 6:00 P M. I was a little worried that we were the only 2 dining, another party of several people came in as we were leaving, I hope this restaurant thrives because good Indian food, especially on my side of town is hard to find. Hopefully I will be back soon.

Ammad Khan: I gave them three stars for food and location only. I have to take one star because they had such poor service that it is better to go somewhere else. And another star because they don’t have halal meat.We went there on Saturday around 6pm with the family and ordered our food by 6:30pm. We got the appetizer in 40 mins and then there was another delay of 40 mins between appetizers and main course. By which time our children have had enough and we had had to hurry.

Abbey Carter: Food is good if you actually get it. Been here for an hour and a half and placed the order two hours ago. No updates just excuses and no refunds. Seriously?? So expensive. If I knew it would take this long for chicken and rice I wouldn't have come.

Stephen Morris: We ate here a couple of weeks ago. The food was excellent. The physical plant was nice. You can get a table next to the Grand River. Unfortunately the wait staff was kind of clueless, certainly not on a par with the food. The food itself would rate 5 stars the wait staff at most 3 stars. With several other Indian restaurants in the area that are outstanding in all respects a return trip might be hard to swing.

Liz Wheeler: Came to check out the new spot after missing you guys for a bit. Food was good and the staff were all kind and attentive. They seem to all keep an eye on guests needs so thats awesome teamwork :) see ya back soon!

Benjamin Zeeuw: I really wish I didn't have to give such a negative review to a local business that is clearly struggling (the place is always empty and they've changed locations several times recently). Their food has always been outstanding, but I had such a negative experience recently that I felt it necessary to share.I ordered carry-out lunch for my staff of 11 people. This was a $300 order with gratuity. After we picked it up and returned to our office we found several items missing. I called and restaurant and after some push back they agreed that they made a mistake some items had been missed. I made a second trip to pick up the missed items and the hostess informed me that they would only be providing me with some of what we were shorted because, "The chef said he made that". I insisted that we were shorted a meal and one of my staff members didn't get a lunch. She just shrugged her shoulders. When I made it clear that I would be leaving the restaurant very unhappy and likely to provide a negative review she said, "not my business".As a customer service representative I would consider this 100% her business. If you mess up my order and make me drive back to your restaurant to get the food you shorted me I would prefer you not call me a liar in the process. I'm not looking to scam anyone. I just want what I paid for. Or, at the very least some consideration for my trouble. It wasn't just the hostess either. The chef made a conscious decision to not replace the dish and instructed her to tell me I didn't deserve it.Even the best Roganjosh is not worth dealing this such terrible customer service. I will not be returning to Curry Kitchen.

Katie Hughes: Don’t waste your time on Tuesdays. We made plans to go try this place, checked the website to confirm open time & then get there to a written note that they are closed on Tuesdays. I get lack of staffing- but update your website & other sites that advertise your business. You wasted our time & two other car loads of individuals we met in the parking lot.

LISA SCHROETER: The tikka masala was wonderful, mild spice was perfect for me. The naan was great too. This place is a hidden gem.

mobley Mobley: Great buffet! Was very happy with the food, nice restaurant with a pleasant view. Will be back.

Daniel Slick: There’s nothing either exceptional or terrible about this place; it’s just decent. The food is quite spicy and the naan bread is delicious.

Kristin Crawley: Update; I had to drop a star. While the food continues to be very good on the buffet, the afternoon staff is just consistently subpar. They sit at a table on their phones and generally pay no attention to the customers. It's quite a shame because it's probably preventing us from coming back.Great buffet for lunch. High quality Indian Food. Would love to see it busier so it stays around! If you like Indian food, it wasn't too try it for the first time a buffet is a great option. Highly recommended.

Kristina Colby: Excellent lunch buffet!! $14/person. And you can order additional items off the full menu if you want. Very vegetarian friendly. YUM.

Daniel S.: i wish i could give a higher rating. The food here is so fantastic, except for the last time I was in. We both ordered the veggie plate, which is all of the vegetarian appetizers. First we noticed that for some reason we were given chicken nuggets in our meal with pakoras. Pakoras were delicious as always, but I didn’t know why a vegetarian menu item would be served with meat especially very hidden in with everything, and why chicken nuggets in an indian restaurant. Thought oh well, i’ll take it off the plate and not eat it, since i don’t eat meat. But then, both of our plates had one of the two samosas with meat in it. Again these were vegetarian samosas on the vegetarian appetizer menu.Just saying for other people avoiding meat-eating, be cautious here.The lychee juice was so good

Vishnu Gokul Krishnamoorthy: We visited this restaurant today(06/20/22) from a long trip. We were hungry so we ordered 10 mins before we arrived as the restaurant's kitchen was about to close. Paula was the receptionist/attender who took our order on the phone. She was so polite and patient in getting our order.After we sat at the table, she instantly bought all the ordered food to the table. There was one Chicken Biriyani yet to arrive. She told she was working on it. Later we heard the bell sound from the kitchen when she was attending another customer. It was from chef Mr. Sunny. She went to the kitchen after addressing the customer. In the kitchen, Sunny started yelling at her as she didn't come there to take the food. She was explaining that she was the only one attending the customers.Also, he didn't make the chicken biriyani that we were waiting for. He argued that he made the food correctly for the order he got and further said the kitchen is closed and he had to leave. Ms. Paula was trying to explain that he did wrong but he was arguing that he was right and he left the kitchen.Later somehow we got our chicken biriyani. We didn't like the chef's attitude towards the attender. He thinks that he's the boss of the restaurant. Such attitude can't be tolerated. Which will weaken the customer affinity towards this restaurant.The food was below average. They should improve better.Place was ambient and organized. Owner should hire chefs with good attitude and better cooking skills.Hope Mr. Owner sees this. Good luck!Parking: Parking was spacious

Jeff Sellers: Shoe leather lamb

Erin Dilley: Best Indian food in Grand Rapids.

Matt Arnett: I ordered take out here as I was craving Indian food. For 3 people the food cost over $20 a person for basic items. They told me it would take 40 minutes, but I arrived and was told to wait longer. When I went to pay they added a mandatory gratuity, even though I was getting take out and had no server. Over priced and slow. We'll find a better option next time.

Thaisa Rantanen: So let me start by saying that the Momo is everything a dumpling should be... you will dream about them after you have them... today I got something different because they didn't have any more Momo and it was really good as well. I tried the Chicken Thali Set, just on a whim, and it was bursting with flavor. It had quite a few different kinds of vegetables that had been cooked perfectly, which is not easy to do. I feel like this dish makes it easy to have your vegetables and enjoy them. I was on a budget so I ordered this with two orders of the potato naan to share with someone and I added a mango lassi. It only came to about $26 and change, which I think is totally fair for how good this food is and the variety that the dish entailed. I'm really impressed with how large their menu is and I cannot wait to try some other delicious dishes. My compliments to whoever is doing the cooking it's really outstanding!

Beenu Tamang: I order fried rice and they put Too much butter on it is very disgusting can’t even eat and also they put too much sauce in chowmein even sauce was stink cherpate was very planeVery disappointed ☹️ I will never go again

We also ordered Goat sekuwa but it tasted so so bad. I am not someone who writes review but after this review please improve quality of food.

Ismail Chowdhury: Great place to eat, nice and clean. especially people are friendly there.The food are delicious👍….I highly recommend this place!!!!

Alex Duran-stawiski: After picking someone up from the airport who had not eaten, we searched for a spot to eat. Surprisingly, this place said it was open until 1:30. After arriving, we opened the door and where met with the back of a bookshelf with some cardboard boxes to the left. After peaking around the corner, we saw about 20 men drinking and smoking. They looked at us weird and for good reason bc I think we stumbled across a private party. There where two guys in the corner singing there absolute hearts out in karaoke and it was beautiful and really funny. Although that awkward interaction was priceless, the food on the website looks really good so part of me wishes it was open.

Josephine Heard: Ordered the Chicken Thali Set and it was absolutely amazing!! Very friendly staff. Will be back

Theo Ofori: They have the best chicken tandoori in town and their servers are super welcoming!

Robby Ryke: I recently had take-out at Karki and tried their Tikka Masala and Chili Chicken Momo, and I must say, it was an incredibly delicious experience. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the spices were just right - not too overpowering, yet not too mild either.The Tikka Masala had a creamy texture and the chicken was cooked to perfection, and the Chili Chicken Momo is my new favorite. Karki has certainly mastered the art of Indian cuisine, and I highly recommend giving them a try.However, The only thing keeping Karki from 5 stars was the portion size for the cost. While I understand that quality comes at a price, I felt that the serving size for the Tikka Masala was a bit small for the price. Nonetheless, the taste and quality of the food make up for this slight inconvenience.Overall, I would highly recommend Karki to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine. The Tikka Masala and Chili Chicken Momo are a must-try, and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.

Saurabh: Recommend veg chilly momos and chicken momos..staff was stupid once, replaced my doordash ordered non-veg platter with chilly chicken without permission. I didn't accept chilly chicken as I neither ordered nor wanted that. They told me they are taking off the charge and that should reflect in a couple of days but the charge continued to be there on my CC for a week. I Had to contact Doordash multiple times to get my money back.Vegetarian options: Veg momos and more

Andrew Carpenter: The food is great and has been delicuous, but today I don't have any food.I left after standing in the lobby and ringing their bell to get help after ordering ahead on the phone. I waited 5 minutes and I did hear people in the back. I even waited and looked back for a few seconds to see if anyone would come out as the door bell rang as I left. Nobody. The food is great, but I've never been completely ignored like this at any restaurant, ever.

sree V: Customer service is terrible . We waited for sometime even though guy at the counter watched us he just ignored us by taking pickup orders . We came to the restaurant today at 5:15 pm.
