Curry Leaves Indian Cuisine (Lakeland): Reviews & Ratings
Amazing experience! Enjoyed dinner here for the first time tonight and it was fantastic. The cocktails were delicious and the food was incredible. Highly recommend the Butter Chicken and Peshawari naan. Atmosphere is a vibe and super chill, and service was excellent. Can’t wait to bring our friends here!
We were a party of 11 people including children and the staff were super friendly, a very nice and clean atmosphere, and delicious food! We ordered a la cart and everything that we ordered was delicious including appetizers and drinks. This was our first time at the restaurant and we will definitely be back. I highly recommend this restaurant!
I can't recommend them highly enough. I've been several times and every time is better than the last. The environment is modern and inviting, perfect for an intimate dinner, a business lunch, or a family get together. The service is very attentive and helpful, they want to make sure you have the best experience possible. And the food *chefs kiss* flavorful, plentiful, beautifully presented. I've had several dishes but always come back to the chicken biriyani when I want something familiar and comforting. Don't sleep on this place! (Unless you're sleeping in the attached hotel! Lol)
It was our first time at this restaurant at Lakeland even though we have been to their restaurant at Tampa multiple times. The restaurant and the vibe were amazing. The service and the food were top notch , special thanks to siya and two other staffs who were very welcoming and friendly . Can’t wait to visit again Visited again today ( 05/17/25) . Food was amazing as always. Perfectly balanced flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. We ordered beef ullarthu, goat ullarthu,dosa, and Kerala porotta. The Mango lassi is must-try for anyone visiting curry leaves. “Hands down, some of the best food I've had recently! A big thank you to Swaroop and Franci and the other staff who were amazing .
My daughter and I went here tonight for dinner. It’s a little odd that it’s in a hotel but the restaurant itself is very cute. Everyone was SO nice and the food was delicious. I had been to the Tampa location years ago and was hoping it was as good as I remembered. It was even better. Meat was so tender, flavor was amazing, naan cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back!
We were frequent patrons of the tampa location. We've been here twice now. Once for the lunch buffet and last night for dinner, both times unique and different experience. I would recommend trying the lunch buffet at least once you get to try different things for a great price. Dinner last night was great, food was fresh and delicious. They were out of the cheesecake which was disappointing but i will have to go back another day. My only dissatisfaction, our waiter needed to be a little clearer when giving suggestions. He brought over 3 drinks after I asked for a ginger ale and said, would you like to try one of these? He made it seem as if they were going to be free. They were not at the end of the night, which no big deal was okay. One of the people in my parties asked for a side of chili pepper, instead of bringing a small pepper cut up, which is all anyone would need as they are so spicy...and should also be free. He brought out a plate filled with onions, peppers and lemons, which cost 2.50 again, no big deal. But for some people that may be an issue, and should be shared ahead of time. Overall dinner was delicious waiter was friendly and it was a great atmosphere will be back again.
My girlfriends and I had the best experience here today for lunch! Sadly the buffet is only on the weekends but we still got to try a bunch of amazing things. The chili garlic naan was so good and the butter chicken was the best I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and order the coconut rice. I could have eaten it by itself as a meal. The service was amazing and the decor and vibes were so nice. We will definitely be returning here for future lunches and hopefully on the weekend to try the buffet! Shoutout to Zia (so sorry if I spelled that wrong) for being the best server!
Loved everything about this restaurant. They accommodated our group of 10 and service and food was great! Loved the garlic naan. Tandoori chicken was great! Dessert was also great! Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal and we will be back soon.
