Curry Leaves — Local services in Downers Grove

Ordered carry out for the very first time. I was extremely disappointed in the quality and flavor of the food. We ordered butter chicken and paneer tikka masala with naan bread and that experience did not go well.

Butter chicken had no butter flavor and was cooked in some strange looking light yellow sauce with a very bold coconut flavor. It was not even close the butter chicken sauce. Chicken was not marinated and it almost felt I was eating boiled chicken in some creamy sauce.

Paneer tikka masala has the exact same negative feel to it. Paneer was hard and was cooked in the exact same sauce like butter chicken and tasted horrible. (Take a look at the pictures I posted). I kind of felt sick eating their food.

Finally their naan bread was not fresh. Naan bread was the kind you can buy frozen from the store and microwave them. Triangle shaped naan bread cut in to half.

Overall I will not recommend them. You will pay the same price as good India restaurants and the food here taste...

I’m seriously hooked on this food! When I tried this place about four months ago, some dishes were great, while others were just okay. But now, something has changed—they’ve truly taken the flavors to another level. Whatever they’ve done recently has elevated the taste to pure excellence.

I ordered takeout and tried the Chicken Nirvana and Payyoli Chicken Fry (both new additions), along with the Squid Roast and Beef Fry, made in traditional Kerala style. Every dish was packed with authentic flavors, perfectly spiced, and cooked just right. The quality and consistency have improved significantly, and it’s now among the best Kerala food I’ve had.

Even though it's a takeout-only spot, the food traveled well and tasted just as fresh at home. If you're looking for the best Kerala food in Chicago, this is the place. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience real Kerala flavors. 5/5—I’ll definitely be...

This place is our go to for Kerala food. My wife is a Malayali and having something so close to home is great, especially when considering the previous option was further away and literally could never have a meal ready in advance. In contrast Curry Leaves has excellent options and getting food usually takes a matter of 3-5 minutes. On the flip side, only recently we have started to see differences in the food. If things go back to normal I will adjust my review accordingly but as of the last 2 visits we are getting far less food in our catering than previously. Could be new employees or an honest mistake but I just don't want it to become a usual thing. Aside from the last 2 visits, which we have had many many more, this place absolutely rocks! great prices for the amount of food you get compared to other Indian options....
