⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Highly Recommended – A Must-Visit Indian Restaurant in Albuquerque!
We visited Albuquerque, New Mexico for a 5 day family trip from California, and Curry Leaf quickly became one of the highlights of our stay. We ended up having both lunch and dinner here, and every visit was a great experience.
Curry Leaf offers a premium Indian food buffet and A La Carte with an excellent variety of North and South Indian dishes. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. From rich curries to perfectly cooked breads, and desserts, there was something for everyone in our family. You can really tell they care about quality and taste.
The service was friendly, warm, and excellent. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and were always happy to help. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference, especially when traveling with family.
Our Albuquerque trip included unforgettable experiences like the hot air balloon ride and the tram ride up the Sandia peak mountain, Santa Fe, Española, Taos and enjoying delicious meals at Curry Leaf was the perfect way to end our busy sightseeing days.
If you are visiting Albuquerque and enjoy Indian food, I highly recommend Curry Leaf. Great food, great service, and a wonderful overall experience. We will definitely visit again when we’re back in town!

This was my first visit to this restaurant, so I was naturally hopeful the experience would be positive. I ordered takeout and received my food promptly. The staff members were notably friendly and courteous when I entered and when I left. For my meal, I chose the tandoori chicken and the chicken tikka masala. I also found it interesting that they didn’t offer a spice level option for the dishes. I started with the tandoori chicken; it was well-seasoned with traditional spices, but the chicken was quite dry, though still tender and with a pleasant texture, not tough. Next, I tried the tikka masala, which disappointingly contained very little chicken, was also dry, and had an unusual, overly sweet sauce that overshadowed the typical savory spices. The dish lacked any noticeable heat, which was unexpected. After the initial taste, you could detect the familiar flavors of tikka masala, but they were somewhat muted. The garlic naan was decent; it resembled a thick, soft tortilla coated with a generous amount of garlic butter, which enhanced its flavor. I understand that naan is prepared differently, as I’ve made naan myself before. Overall, I’m unsure whether the restaurant had an off night or whether my timing affected the quality, but I’m not sure I’ll return. I will emphasize that the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout my visit.

Being a former restaurant manager, the first thing I look for is cleanliness and the place is very clean. I had not been there before and didn’t realize it had a buffet option. We chose the buffet and the food was great. Everything was clearly marked and had a description of what the dish contained and wether it is vegetarian and gluten free. The atmosphere was nice and calm, making it easy to chat with my friend. Overall I loved this place and will definitely be back.

My husband and I came in just 30 mins to closing expecting to be turned away as happens so often now but we were welcomed with open arms & assured we could stay and enjoy. They set a special table for us so we could talk and visit easily. We asked the owner to choose our meals for us (something we like to do) and they were so happy to do so! Was very relaxing and the food was just perfect- so much flavor and they even had a gluten-free type bread for me I loved! Thank you.

Came in for the lunch buffet which was amazing, good selection and variety. The food is fantastic. My favorite is their signature curry leaf chicken great flavor and spice it’s not part of the buffet but worth ordering. Staff is attentive and friendly, one of the best Indian restaurants around.

Very nice dining experience – well set tables with white linens and orchid color large napkins. We got the buffet, very extensive with numerous sauces and chutneys. They even had dosas! Everything I tried was hot and fresh, very tasty. Highly recommend

Not bad. But lacks FLAVOR all around. The veggie Manchurian was good, but where’s the sauce ? I prefer mine with a rich , crunchy veggie sauce. The veggie pakora needed salt and more flavor. Naan was ok, the mint chutney was a big let down, first I asked for extra extra and only got 1 tiny sample cup but it was not good at all so it ended up being ok. Won’t return.
