Curry Corridor Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Poquoson

Was looking forward to trying this place after all the glowing reviews but was a bit disappointed. Staff was friendly and attentive but the food was a bit lacking.

I expected aromatic, fluffy, and flavorful Basmati rice, but what I received had the texture and look of Jasmine rice which was undercooked and flavorless like it came from a cheap Chinese buffet.

The chicken in the chicken tikka masala was tender but also somewhat flavorless. The sauce was the most disappointing masala I've ever had. It was mostly watery, with soggy vegetables, and the taste was bland with little if any spices. I asked for medium spicy but it was very mild.

Last thing to review is the garlic naan bread. How can anyone mess up naan bread? The dough was chewy and undercooked in some spots and overly burnt in others, and again had very little flavor. I've had much better naan bread from frozen brands. Absolutely the worst I've ever had from a restaurant.

I rarely write bad reviews and wish the best for this restaurant, but having had Indian from all over and cooking it myself for decades I was just disappointed. Maybe they just had an off night and the food was rushed, but it should have...

A Hidden Gem You Need to Try!

I cannot recommend this new Indian restaurant enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly service that instantly made me feel at home. Although I didn’t catch his name, one of the staff members was exceptionally kind and attentive—his energy truly added to the overall experience.

The food? Incredible. The goat curry was absolutely delicious—perfectly spiced, tender, and packed with authentic flavors that make it stand out from anything I’ve had before. The portion sizes were generous, and the complementary touches were such a pleasant surprise! A chilled bottle of water, a bowl of creamy rice kheer for dessert, and a comforting cup of masala chai—all included.

And if that’s not enough, they’re currently offering a 10% discount, making this spot a total steal for such high-quality food and exceptional service.

This place has officially made it onto my list of favorites. Whether you’re a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, you’re going to love it here. Can’t wait to...

On a whim, I stopped by to pick up some Butter Chicken for lunch tomorrow and had such a great conversation with Rahm(sp?) about trying different things that I also ended up with some Tikka Masala, cheese stuffed naan bread, and a Mango Lassi (mango and yogurt smoothie). I felt very comfortable being honest about my ignorance and felt like he was really trying to help me expand my horizons. He also brought me a sample of Masala Chai while I was waiting for my order. I've loved chai for almost 30 years but never had it this fresh and delicious! Mind you, I've been all across the country. Got home and ended up sampling everything right away. Couldn't be happier. Everything was spot on fabulous and I can't wait to try more of their menu now that I don't feel silly asking questions. This will be one of my go-to restaurants for sure and when I'm not hungry, I'll still be popping in for a Masala Chai!
