Really good! Got 2 Sri Lankan dishes - Kothu Rotti (veg) & the Appam (lamb). Was asked if we wanted it Indian spicy, to which we said yes, and was veryyy spicy. Nimisha was lovely. Want to try the momo’s & other dishes soon, too.

Great food, we came here after poor service from another restaurant. The parotta was so good, as was the palak paneer. Lady who served us was also very nice. Good portion and good value.

Really good restaurant with authentic South Indian food. The briyani was so so so good. They also have Palm Toddy. The staff were so kind and friendly, and I felt very welcome. They also have special menus over the weekend which I will come back for. The portion sizes were so big too and the food was affordable. Chef Anand personally made sure we were well fed and happy. He is truly special.

I recently visited Curry Leaf, an Indian restaurant, and had a great experience. I tried their Dosa Set and Chettinad Biryani, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The dosa was crisp, served with tasty chutneys and hot sambar, giving a real South Indian touch. The Chettinad Biryani was rich in spices, aromatic, and had tender, flavorful pieces of meat. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was nice too. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Overall, Curry Leaf offers authentic Indian flavors and a cozy atmosphere — definitely worth visiting again for real Indian taste.

We had the Onasadhya and it was a delightful experience. The dishes were authentic and tasty, especially the payasams, and the service was friendly and well-organized despite the festive rush. A memorable Onam feast!
