Do you want the best? then eat here. Indian food that elevated my mood to another level. I can’t imagine how it could possibly taste any better especially at midnight.

If you are starving and want to get the maximum amount of food with some variety this is the place for you to spend 15 bucks and likely have enough for an entire day food.

Was very disappointed with this place. I ordered a combo platter ($17) and it was 90% rice and naan, with a very small piece of chicken. Chicken was dry and tough and needed more flavor. Servers were also shouters to each other in another language while I was ordering which took away from the overall experience. Will not be returning

Veggie combo is a great option.

It’s passable, for Manhattan I suppose. Their curries are decent but what really grinds my gears is their samosa.

Dine in. I go at 3pm when it’s not crowded. I love, love, the curry dishes, naan bread, salad with tamarind dressing, the spinach, lentils, so good! The waiters are very pleasant, and I like enjoy the restaurant’s atmosphere: peaceful, roomy, and giant windows to see the Lexington ave view. Very, very pleasant atmosphere. And to top it all off, the prices are very affordable and worth the money..

The quality of food is pretty mediocre.

This place is super fun. It’s unassuming and quiet, but it provides a comfortable and welcoming respite from the business of midtown. Located a few minutes down the way from the empire state building, Curry in a hurry is on a block with a bunch of other authentic Indian restaurants, boutiques, and grocery stores.

Great selection of tasty homestyle Indian dishes.

Very disappointing. Not like how it used to be . I used to love this place and would recommend it, but not anymore. It fell off bad. Chicken cold , rice room temp at best. flavor was off, and no more salad bar I am back in the neighborhood again but will not return here. People who don’t know this place from the past or don’t know any better good luck. So disappointing I couldn’t finish the meal.
