The Curry House — Restaurant in Franklin

I stopped by The Curry House on a rainy March day. If I had 15 more stomachs, I could easily have stayed until July.

Service was kindly and fast, and upon ordering the Lunch Special, my food arrived with all the swiftness of a hawk.

A pile of rice hidden under mounds of Chicken Curry and Chicken Tikka Masala, 2 different Naan breads, a hunk of tandoori chicken, a samosa, and rice pudding for dessert.

The Chicken Curry is what you expect - good Curry flavor, tender chicken, and a nice texture to the gravy.

The Tikka Masala is easily the best I have had, hands down. Nicely flavored, great texture on the gravy and meat... If I could have just kept eating and never got full, I'd still be eating it. There is a flavor I wasn't expecting in there, and it was hard to put a finger on. It reminded me of toasted cheese, though it wasn't. I was impressed.

The rice was rice.

The garlic Naan was where it is at! Eaten with the curries, it amplifies everything. The bread itself was soft and garlicky... perfect.

The samosa was a little cold, but otherwise delicious. A tiny spicy kick in there made it exciting.

The tandoori chicken was excellent, but I don't think I've ever had tandoori chicken that was either better or worse. Tandoori chicken is always good, and when accompanied by all this tasty feast? It cannot be beat.

Rice pudding, sweet and somewhat delicate, was a great ending.

So, long and short, this is a high recommendation for basic East Indian style food at a great price. Seriously - I left a pretty big tip and still spent less than I have getting lower quality food at chain...

I don't usually write reviews but more people should know about this place. The food here is fantastic and made with love. We've tried the other Indian places in the area (including the one in Franklin) and they don't compare at all. Our servers were Freddi and Peter, they were both super kind and provided excellent recommendations. They also didn't seem to mind when we asked a lot of questions about India, where they were from, the food, language, etc. My wife can be really annoying sometimes but they didn't seem to care about her yapping, it was a relief for me! We had the Tomato soup to start which had a really unique flavor, it was lighter that other tomato soups I have had in the past but the flavor profile was more intricate. For a main courses we had Lamb Vindalo, Chicken Madras, and some random vegetarian dish with 9 veggies, herbs, and fruit. Everything was better than any Indian I have had in the area. In addition, Freddi made some really good drinks that my wife loved! Not too sweet, refreshing, and light on the sour. I think next time we come we will take an Uber so we can try all the cocktails! Highly...

The food is ok, not great, not bad but acceptable. My issue is with service. We placed an order last Saturday 12/12 and arrived to pick it up on time (40 minutes) when we arrived at the drive through we were told our order was not ready, it would be about 15 more minute and we were asked to wait in the parking lot and our food would be brought out to us (no apologies for the delay) we did wait as requested in the rain and heard nothing for 30 minutes. I called for an update and was told again our order wasn't ready (still NO apologies were made) after 40 more minutes waiting in the rain in their parking on my BF's birthday they finally called and told us to come to the drive through again, our order was ready. They never brought our food to us, never updated us while we were waiting a significant amount more time than we were originally told but what bothered me the most was never once did we hear "hey sorry about the delay" I understand things happen but that is rude and unacceptable. If you like ok food and terrible service, this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend and will never go back based on...
