Since coming from Australia this Bangali restaurant has given me and my whole family the best restaurant experience ever (especially since this place is in NYC). Amazing food, sweet customer service, ambiance is beautiful, food served at a perfect speed, and clean too!!

PROs – food , space to dine in, location
CONs- not much , slightly expensive than other restaurants nearby
Was in Lexington and craving for Indian food .. lots and lots of options nearby but wanted to try curry in hurry .. I went in and saw options and they had a wide range of food available . Meal options were available too. Veggie meal was about 16$ and meat was close to 21$ including water bottle . Average price in this location but slightly expensive .. service was good. .. lots of space inside to sit and eat . 2nd floor had so many tables and lots of space ..
The meal comes with a naan, rice , veggie curry and meat curry . Food quantity was really good. Roti was so soft ! Went well with meat curry . Taste was reallyyyyy good. Spinach curry was good too. They had other veggie options too. I’ll surely go back and try again. Liked it overall.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was very happy with Curry IN A HURRY. It was fast with GREAT Mali Kofta. Food was very FRESH. They offer a small sit down area as well. Highly Recommend.

Nope. Not the Curry in a Hurry I used to know 20 years ago. Saltless, tasteless, stale “fare” (I cannot even call it Indian food) bastardized to meet the palate of the local non-Indian customers. A thousand other real Indian restaurants nearby.
The claim to be “authentic” is an outright lie.
Masala Dosa – 0/10
Sambar – 0/10
Dal curry – 1/10
Beef kabob – 1/10
Naan – 4/10
Beef and veggie samosa – 1/10

I would like to draw the attention of the management and all the customers of this restaurant. Today at 2 PM, while I was eating, a Bengali girl and a Bengali waiter treated me very rudely. Please be careful when you order something and observe their behavior. I am so hurt by this incident that I don’t think I will ever come to this restaurant again.

Ordered the lunch combo – lamb tikka masala, rice, and a side spinach. Also came with naan. It was very delicious and filling. The portion sizes were huge.
️ Service was good. Everyone seemed friendly.
The inside wasn’t attractive in my opinion, but that was the lower floor. I didn’t dine in nor visit upstairs. Still worth a visit.

If you are starving and want to get the maximum amount of food with some variety this is the place for you to spend 15 bucks and likely have enough for an entire day food.
They have ample seating upstairs. Plenty of good vegetarian and non-veg options and Indian appetizers (samosa including beef, chicken and veg ($2), Pakora ($1) and desserts like jalebi, gulab jamin etc. Staff are also very friendly and helpful.
Is it amazing Indian food? no, but it will definitely do. The combination platter is the best deal. The eggplant, curry, paneer and peas, chicken masala, naan and rice were all decent.

“Must read review”
I visited this restaurant expecting authentic Indian food, but I was disappointed with both the experience and the attitude of the staff.
When I approached the cashier to grab a couple of samosas, and before buying, I asked the cashier if they were fresh and how long they’d been sitting out. Instead of answering politely, he brushed it off and said, “Bro, this is not India, we have everything fresh here.” As an Indian, that comment honestly felt disrespectful. I was just asking a simple question about the food, not trying to compare anything.
What made it worse was his attitude after that. He started bragging about how much business they do, saying they sell hundreds of items and have constant walk-ins, like that somehow made it okay to talk down to a customer. It doesn’t matter how busy a place is or how much they sell; every customer still deserves respect. One negative experience can speak louder than hundreds of sales.
I’ve been here before and tried their chicken curry, which honestly didn’t taste like an Indian curry at all. That first visit already disappointed me, but I decided to give them another chance this time just for some samosas. Unfortunately, this visit was even worse.
After giving them two chances, I can honestly say it’s not worth it. The food isn’t authentic, the service is poor, and the attitude is unacceptable. Not worth spending a single penny here.
Also, even though the place is called an Indian restaurant, it’s actually run by people from Bangladesh and serves mostly Bangladeshi food. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it feels misleading when you use India’s name while not honoring what it represents. A little honesty and kindness would go a long way here.
