Curry Leaf Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Kentwood

TLDR: I always enjoy curry leaf! It’s been a while since I visited last, but it was exactly as expected for me. Make sure to request the exact level of spiciness you prefer- I’d not leave it up to the cooks because they enjoy burning their faces off, I think 🤣 (keep in mind I am but a basic white girlie, so maybe you can handle the extra spice- these are simply my opinions! thank you; carry on!)

I ordered an Indian Chai, which was super yummy and actually went great with my entree. Definitely would recommend.

We ordered the Dedicated Vindaloo (Spicy treat with the traditional vindaloo sauce made with vinegar and whole red chilies. (Chicken)). I would recommend that you order the spice level that you’d normally order for yourself- sometimes we leave it up to the cook, as we feel like it’s more authentic that way- but apparently we can’t handle the authentic here! We’ve ordered this dish elsewhere and leaving it up too the cook did not leave it this spicy, but this time, holy cow! 🥵 So, if you’re like us, order what you know you can handle lol!

I ordered the Paneer Makani (Homemade cheese cooked in a tangy creamy tomato sauce) at medium heat. It was perfect. 👌😎

We ordered a couple orders of Garlic Naan (Oven-baked bread with garlic and Butter) which I would always recommend to anyone to accompany any food order!

Because they could tell that we were dying of spice, the server brought us a complimentary sample of Mango Lassi (Fresh Homemade yogurt shake flavored with mango) which was super yummy and the perfect endcap to the meal.

A couple of things I’d recommend for the restaurant- there either wasn’t any music or it was so low that the kitchen sounds were fully audible. I think for a comparable dining experience, it’s necessary to have a bit of music to allow customers to converse without feeling like they might be disturbing other customers or without feeling disturbed by others’ conversations.

The bathroom is always ridiculously cold 🥶😅.

Other than that, I’ve always enjoyed my...

Was there yesterday with a friend of mine . It was before 6.30pm . I hv no idea what was the issue with the person who greeted us but he did seem like he did not like his job . Was unfriendly. Anywho, we ordered our food . I ordered dosa and it came cold . I did not say much . I ordered food to go as with my friend . One goat and lamb briyani and the other butter Naan bread for me and my friend ordered lamb briyani when he was taking our orders.When my dosa came and my friends food arrived, I asked this same host if I could order another plain naan bread to be added to my to go list . To my face he sd I'm sorry they hv packed your food already( in other words no , we are too lazy to make this plain naan bread ) which I called Utter bs coz i only got my to go food way later so making plain naan bread would not be a problem . I was like what the hell?so I left it . I'm gonna say this to the owner of this restaurant. Not only has the food gone downhill. The pricing is ridiculous. Ok , inflation is to be blamed 🙄. I do not think I would want to get anything from this place. Ever again . Improve customer service too .it's horrible and treat all of your customers with respect .the previous owner was courteous and the food was really good .I know the owner will not reply to this as to with those who gv him a 1 star review and if the host who was handling us reads this, he would know who we are coz we were the only ones who were there by 6.15 . Your restaurant was not busy by the time we left . There were probably two tables occupied. So, adding additional plain naan to my to go food should hv not...

TERRIBLE!!! Do not go! Took some friends out for dinner and was told this is the place to go. My husband and I have been to MANY Indian restaurants all over the world and this is by far the worst! So embarrassing, we kept talking up how fantastic Indian curry is to our friends, just to be let down by Curry Leaf.

First, when we walked in the host looked to be annoyed that we were even there. He sat the 5 of us down, poured some water then ran out half way through. He said he'd be back with more but never did. The ambiance of the place was awkward and quiet. They had no music and it just felt uncomfortable. When taking our order, we again received attitude. For some reason this restaurant does not seem to want customers.

Once our food arrived, I couldn't believe what I was looking at. 5 different shades of brown. I'm used to a nice creamy gold, orange color, maybe some on the red side. All 5 curry's legit looked like Diarrhea. The taste was just as bad at they appeared. Each was lacking meat, maybe 3-4 pieces. Both my chicken and sauce were cold, which to me tells me they are premade then frozen. My Friend didn't eat any of hers, we ended up going somewhere else for drinks afterwards, where she ordered some food.

Overall, the experience was awful from start to finish. Don't say I...
