We just ate the most delicious take out lunch since this whole pandemic began. We used their online ordering system on their website and it was very easy! We put our order in this morning for a 12:30 pick up and it was waiting for me when I came to get it ! My husband and I shared our orders of chicken coconut and chicken jalfrozie. We were able to customize our spice preference. We both got mild but I think we would have been able to handle medium. I got garlic naan, he got plain. I can't wait to eat the leftovers!!! Thank you for staying open, Curry House! On a side note I work with obgyn residents and they use this restaurant every year for pre interview dinners and our applicants always rave about the food. I will order again , I assure you, and will eat here as a family when things get back to normal. Please support this wonderful restaurant!

Was hesitant to post a 3 star (good, but not great) review during the pandemic, but given the news on Boston Restaurant Talk (https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2022/01/curry-house-in-brookline-has-closed.html?m=1), it is now or never to share my Curry House covid period experience for them at this Coolidge Corner location.***Curry House in Brookline is offering curbside pickup during the pandemic which worked since I'm not ready for dine in.In case you want to order a soda with your meal, just a heads up that theirs don't come by the can.First impression of their naan wasn't great. There was a black piece of charcoal encrusting a paler portion of the burnt half of the bread surface when I unwrapped the foil. My thought, bad QC. My mom's, wow, they don't clean well.The naan was good sized, and helped to tame the spiciness of the food, but was rather tough, and not particularly enjoyable. And I'm a carb lover. It likely didn't help that I had recently attempted my first homemade naan with yeast and yogurt during my bout of covid baking, and it had been really tender and poofy.The Aloo Chaat (spiced potatoes, lentil wafers made with yogurt and sweet and sour sauce) came hot and portioned for sharing as an appetizer. With no spice level option provided, it came with a kick - not sure what in the dish was hot though, since it wasn't consistently evident in every bite.We sampled a number of the vegetarian appetizers having ordered their Vegetable Platter (vegetable samosa (1), 2 each: aloo tikki, paneer pakora, vegetable pakora). I found the aloo tikki so gingery as to be spicy hot. The paneer was super firm with a dry crust. Of the four, I liked the samosa and the vegetable pakora best. The chicken pakora (6 good sized pieces) was red tinged meat inside the chickpea batter crust, that ranged from either rather dry white meat, to sufficiently moist dark meat.The Saag Paneer (requested mild) came with white Basmati rice. Note that mild here does not mean no spicy/heat. In fact at least one mouthful revealed a significant hit of the hot, as we realized it might not have been sufficiently well mixed. But it was the slow burn type and not too much for me to handle, especially when accompanied by the rice. Speaking of which, their rice was well prepared with separate grains and a nice flavor.The Chicken Jalfrozie was described as a cream sauce with some vegetables, and you could actually distinguish the pieces of peppers and onions somewhat. Requested mild as well, it also retained a measure of heat, but nothing I could not manage. The chicken was chunky and tender.For dessert, the Rasmalai (cottage cheese patties in creamy milk sauce with nuts) was a nice mild treat. Not the best I've ever had, but it sufficed. Same with their Kheer (aka rice pudding).Their mango lassi is nice and thick, with perhaps a touch too much ice, but it isn't priced at a point which makes it an easy no brainer add on. But at least it was good.Service was prompt and pleasant.So for a potential 4 star trip, I would try ordering a meal with rice, samosa or vegetable pakora (if you like that sort of thing), and a dessert if you are hankering for a little something sweet to end your meal with.

[3.5/5] Simple and clean interior with a decent amount of tables. Got to try their lunch thali - you're choice of 3 entrees plus rice and naan and it was only $10.95. I chose chicken vindaloo, chicken curry, & Chana masala. Their serving was really generous and I left stuffed for that price point compared to other Indian restaurants in the area. The only thing I was disappointed by was the spice levels. Vindaloos should be spicy but it was about as spicy as their mild chicken curry. Otherwise though everything was delicious. Nothing to write home about but definitely satiating in a pinch.

I went there for the weekend buffet. In general, the overall experience was good. The restaurant was clean and bright, and the seating area was comfortable and spacious. The reason I didn't give it four stars or more was there were no other protein options than chicken. If they offer beef or lamb curry for the buffet, I'll definitely go back.

This is fast food Indian food. We came here on a Friday night to meet up with some friends. We've never tried this place and we usually frequent another sit-down indian restaurant a few blocks away. Once entering we were called to the back where the service area was. We saw all the dishes they had to offer sitting on warmers. We ordered the vegetable thali special and the vegetable samosa.This place is all self service, grab your own water and bus your ditry dishes. The food was alright. The flavors were a little off than traditional dishes. The samosa was bland and had to be doused in the mint sauce. The daal was oddly flavored. The only plus side is that they serve brown rice.We were only 1 of 2 customers in the place. But they had a ton of take out orders..Overall, this place does not hit the spot and satisfy our indian food craving.

Generally a decent place, and I'm fine with the food being served cafeteria style, though could be much better. The chicken in the chicken tikki masala was way too dry; the lamb curry was much better, if a bit sweet. The naan was also a bit dry, though that could be because it was sitting out. Much stronger were the chana masala, which nice and tasty, and the vegetable korma was nice and creamy, though they really could have heated it (and others) up in the microwave! The chicken vindaloo was better - the potatoes was soft, good-textured, well-flavored; and the flavor overall was quite active and rich. The vegetable pakoras were not so great - they were really dried up, stale, cold fried food. The flavor might have been okay, but that the pieces were kind of tough didn't help.The layout of the restaurant could be improved; it looks a bit too casual in the interior to match the expectations and standards set by the neighboring restaurants.

Stopped into Curry House for lunch. I am sure at one time it was a buffet but due to covid we had the lunch special. Like most pre-cooked specials at Indian joints the curry here was pretty bland. The greens though was very fresh and at least they had limited outdoor dining. The naan was good but a little overcooked, fresh but by far not the best I have had. I bet this place will be great post Covid.

Curry House was okay and I ordered to go. The chicken tandoori dish was wicked dry and the vegetables at the bottom were super wilted. The chicken curry was decent, but on the sweeter side. I ordered it medium spicy which delivered for sure. The naan was slightly undone as it was gummy around some parts. Ordering online via their website was convenient and you can get a percentage off depending on how much your total is. Customer service was good when I went to pick up my order.

Best take out in Coolidge Corner. Tasty curry. Wonderful fresh Naan. Samosa "to die for" good. Ray of sunshine on dreary Covid day.

I haven't tried many Indian food places in the area so I can't compare quality. However, it does seem like the prices here are a lot cheaper than other places. This could be due to the fact that it's an order and sit down place rather than having waiter service. With that being said, I've only been here twice and gotten the same thing both times - combo #1. This comes with a chicken entree, a vegetarian entree, and basmati rice for $10.95(?). The portion size for each entree may not seem like a lot at first but it's actually very filling and very worth the money!I've only gotten the chicken vindaloo, aloo mutter (green peas with potatoes), and naan on the side. All were delicious and the chicken vindaloo is highly recommended if you like a good, spicy kick! They always ask to make sure that I know the vindaloo is spicy in case I can't handle it haha. I have tried some of my friends chicken tikka masala too which was good from what I recall. I think just getting that 1 entree is $12.95 and it comes with less than the combo so it only makes more sense to get more bang for your buck, right?Would definitely come back whenever I'm craving for Indian food!
