Fresh Curry — Restaurant in New York

3.5 stars

Fresh Curry is a Bangladeshi / Pakistani style casual eatery. interior is a bit simple and gritty: a few tables and chairs; an order counter displaying curried eats and other bites; and a refrigerated unit filled with soft drinks. it’s a little messy, but that’s the vibe. food is basically is on heating trays and heated up via microwave. the food is priced on the higher side versus and the servings tend to be smaller versus other places.

ordered chicken curry, cauliflower, and rice to-go. the curry tends to be spiced fairly hot, not mild. the chicken was tender and was flavorful. the cauliflower was pretty good. and the rice was fine. overall, the portion feels a little small versus other hole-in-the-wall curry joints. there are not many options late night for curry in tribeca so this will likely be where you’d need to go.

staff are friendly enough and they accept cash, credit, ApplePay etc. definitely a decent place when you’re in a pinch and want spicy...

NOT 24/7! I hate places that advertise being 24/7 when they are not. I went at 4:30am and was extremely disappointed to find the door locked. Food is about 3 stars but I took off 2 stars for false advertising/incorrect hours. Wasted my lunch break walking there to find it closed. Also, they have a "Grade Pending" sign out, which (as most New Yorkers know) means they failed their health inspection and are trying to hide it it. If I could give zero...

Chicken samosa is banging! Added their green sauce. And the chicken lollipop is good, too. With the green sauce, of course. Not the most appealing looking place from the outside, but it had enough customers to entice me. Glad I went in. DEFINITELY get the chicken samosa ($2)....
