Curcuma — Restaurant in Lecco

We had wanted to go to an Indian restaurant for a while and finally decided on our visit to Lecco. We really don’t regret this decision and would advise everyone to try. The service was amazing, they were very friendly and welcoming, helped us with finding the best combination of dishes and were very flexible. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu, all the dishes and their components. Regarding the food, we tried lamb curry, pork with almonds and cashews, rice with lemon, naan, chapata aaand mango lassi(very special drink). I don’t think I should say anything about the dishes other than we literally scraped every last crumb and practically licked the plates. We’re food lovers by the way 😊. Midway we understood that the restaurant was a family business which made it that much better for us. Last but not least, mu partner decided o order the mango lassi as a desert for me because I don’t eat sugar and it was the best surprise ever, I couldn’t believe how good that drink tasted… We were siting there for a while just taking sips and looking at each other. Then I asked the staff about the recipe for the dish and where I can get the mango and they asked the boss who then went on to say that he can go and grab some mangos for me to buy if we can wait 15min which we, of course, said yes to. He came back with 6 mangos and really put the cherry on top of the whole experience. It’s not that often that you come to a restaurant like this. I’m writing this review sitting on the train back home with the bag of mangos in my lap ready to make the mango lassi...

Incredible Indian Food in Lecco As someone who absolutely loves Indian food, I wasn’t sure what to expect when we stumbled across this place in Lecco — but I’m so glad we went. It turned out to be one of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had.

The service was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful. While there was a slight language barrier (understandably, as we’re in Italy), the staff were patient, kind, and made the experience easy. Their English was much better than my Italian, and they took the time to understand our preferences and suggest dishes accordingly.

Every single plate that came out was phenomenal — bursting with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. You can tell the kitchen really cares about quality and presentation. From the starters to the curries and naan, everything exceeded expectations.

If you’re in Lecco and craving something rich, flavorful, and comforting, I highly recommend this spot. A hidden gem for Indian cuisine, especially if you’re looking for something different from the typical Italian fare...

My wife and I were traveling to Italy from US. We had but given up hope of finding good Indian food in Italy after visiting sub-standard Indian restaurants in Naples and Rome. But visiting Curcuma situated in Lecco near Lake Como was an entirely different experience. We stayed there for 4 nights and we found ourselves coming back to the restaurant for dinner every night. The food was delicious and authentic and the restaurant owners were friendly and warm. It definitely is the best Indian restaurant in Italy we have come across so far and we will be back here when...
