Kurinji Indian Cuisine

Fantastic restaurant.Authentic Indian food both north and south which is very hard to find.Would like for them to add a few more vegetarian north Indian dishes like daal makhani and breads like onion kulchaAlso would be cool for them to try to do some Indian dishes with paneer or seitan for vegetarians.Service is great and staff are friendly.

This was a take out order. The food here is delicious and authentic. But I will not go above 3 stars because the portions are ridiculous. And we are a very normal sized family of 4 who don't demand super sized meals when we eat out. Appetizer veggie samosa - 2 pieces for $8. Seriously? There is nothing expensive to a veggie samosa. We ordered 8 ounces of tomato chutney and got at most 1/3 cup. $115 for dinner in tiny containers except again for the rice, which is plentiful and likely cost $5 at most.

The food was food.. service was good as well.. the butter chicken was tasty.. dosa was good.. the coffee was good.. overall good experience

I know Spring House area gets the reputation that there are no good food options nearby, but this restaurant is definitely an exception to the rule. I've been to a lot of Indian restaurants all over the world, including in various parts of India, and this definitely holds up to high standards. What makes Kurinji stand out is the flavor. The dishes are balanced very well with just amount of spice, saltiness, and complexity that you want to keep eating. I went here with a large group of about 10 people and they all agreed this is a top restaurant when it comes to Indian food. The ambience isn't fancy and is more like an an unassuming hole-in-the-wall, and that's also an indication that the food is very good. I had the butter chicken, which was the most popular dish in the group, while others got things like Chicken Tiki Masala and various curries. I'm definitely coming back to this place!

If I had one word to describe this place it would be Yum! I often find it hard to get Indian food that's even close to what we make at home, but Kurinji delivers. We haven't dined in, only ordering take out. What we have received has been delicious every time. The samosas are flavorful and the dough they were in was tender and flakey. The pakoras were crispy, event the next day, and I'm honestly still dreaming of the green chutney- it was perfection! We have also tried the butter chicken, saag paneer, chana masala, and lamb vindaloo. They were all good portions, flavorful, perfectly spicy, and came piping hot. Make sure you order some of the breads- we were fighting over the last pieces of garlic naan and aloo paratha. Pickup was quick and the gentleman at the front was very kind. The place was hopping during our pickup orders but we stilled waited on efficiently. Overall, it was pretty stellar. We'll definitely be back!

My go to for takeout Indian. The prices can't be beat for the quality of food and the menu selection. The level of spice is always appropriate based on how you order it. They have great vegetarian and seafood entrees. I love the blend of traditional Indian dishes on the menu as well as some dishes you won't find at other Indian restaurant. Overall a fantastic place whether dining in or taking out.

I was very pleased to have found this restaurant as I love dosa. I began bringing friends when we ate out as the food in general was quite good and the ambiance was great: not fancy but full of a mixed crowd, mostly Desi having a good time. But the last time we went, we ordered shrimp biryani. They must not have had any made up because what they brought was spiced rice with awful, hastily-made, gloppy, and unbalanced shrimp curry on the side. I imagine they thought we wouldn't know the difference. They should have said, "We have none prepared and a proper biryani takes a while. So sorry, would you accept chicken or lamb or ..." Nothing was said at the time by us as I didn't want to give our friends an unpleasant time, but we won't be back.

Kurinji used to the the best Indian food in the area. We used to order it at work all the time, sometimes multiple times a week, and would always look forward to the days we would order. I'm not sure what's changed, but in the last year the food quality has noticeably declined. It used to be extremely flavorful but is now bland and greasy and mediocre. We've given Kurinji a few more shots but every time it's the same experience. It makes me sad to say but I will no longer be ordering from here.

Chicken tikka(dry) was nice and not too dry; kids friendly when ordered mild. Likely because the pieces were huge. Paneer tikka was good as well. Also tried Mysore Masala dosa; nice sambar and chutneys; potato filling was okay just little bland. Service slow but employees are nice. Typical small Indian restaurant vibe.

The food was good, however; service and hospitality was not. First, the waiter came and took my companions order then walked away. When we called hime back he said he assumed we would be sharing. Why would he assume 2 people would share 1cup of vegetable korma and a cup of rice. Second, before I finished my meal he was back with his hand-held register wanting us to pay and stood at the table until he had his money. The topper... Not 5 minutes later he was at our table telling us we needed to leave because people were waiting to sit down. Total time at the restaurant for a $50 meal... 40 minutes. Won't be going back. When I meet someone out for a meal I do not expect to be rush through my meal and asked to leave.
