“I had the beef biryani delivered to my place. I wanted it spicy. They did and it was perfect. The food was delicious! I will be ordering from them again for sure!“

“I happened to be in the North Park area today when I came across this place on Google Maps. It immediately caught my attention because it's a non-profit restaurant dedicated to serving healthy, high-quality food to the community, so I decided to give it a try.

What a great decision! The food was outstanding—the quality of both the ingredients and the preparation exceeded my expectations. The service was also among the best I've experienced in California.

What truly makes this place special, though, is the owner. He personally came over to check whether I was enjoying my meal, and we ended up having a wonderful conversation. He explained that he's actually a scientist in the pharmaceutical field whose true passion is cooking. He realized he could make a meaningful impact on the community by offering nutritious, high-quality food at an affordable price, and that's exactly why he started this project.

If you're in the area, you absolutely have to stop by. I'm confident your experience will be just as memorable as mine.“

“Specifically came for their thali. Ordered 3 different thalis and they ALL were equally 5* fantastic. Owner Mr Ramesh and his staff were welcoming. Restaurant was clean. I’d recommend this restaurant as an overall place to eat.“

“Chicken Pakora was fried to perfection with tender chicken inside. A must-try!“

“I’ve ordered from this place several times, and it’s become one of my go-to spots whenever I’m craving Indian street food. That said, I’ve learned that it can be a bit hit or miss depending on what you order. My absolute favorites are the peri peri fries and the cheese vada pav, I’ve ordered both multiple times, and they always hit the spot. The fries have the perfect amount of spice, and the cheese vada pav is just so satisfying. The papdi chaat was also really good. It was packed well for takeout with all the chutneys kept separate, so everything stayed fresh until I got home. The paneer sandwich had good flavor, but I personally found it a little too greasy. As for the Schezwan noodles, they were freshly made, but the flavor just wasn’t for me. I keep coming back because the dishes I love are really good, even if not everything on the menu is a winner for me.“

“Excellent beautiful extravagant just magnificent they take their time in cooking healthy food“

“Zeer lekker gegeten ! Zeker aan te raden“

“I work nearby and we love to come here for lunch. They just added a lunch buffet and it is definitely great for vegetarians with lots of options. There were only three meat dishes which was a little disappointing, but it was still good and well worth the money.“

“The food was just great. Choice of spicy-ness offered; the portion is filling. The ambience was just as great: calm music, nice decorations, and clean. And the service was also awesome: personable, fr“

“Sujan and Manisha are truly the best hosts! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome with their warm and genuine hospitality.

We started with the chicken choila, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, and then had the chana masala and naan. We also enjoyed a Chardonnay with the meal, which paired wonderfully with the food.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. But beyond the food, it was Sujan and Manisha’s kindness and hospitality that really made the experience special.

Great food, wonderful people, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting,we’ll definitely be back!“

“We were on vacation, we Found India Place restaurant, I B2 Recommend This Place . Fast Service Nice Staff , Good food . 04/24/2023“

“We had a fantastic experience at Curiosity and would absolutely recommend it. We stopped in just looking for a small bite and ended up trying several things from the happy hour menu because everything sounded so good.

The curry mac and cheese was delicious, the naan bruschetta was amazing, and the mango wings were excellent. The Indian-spiced street corn may have been my favorite. It was absolutely incredible and packed with flavor.

The happy hour 3-5pm daily was also one of the best values we have found. It was not just a good happy hour, it was incredibly affordable. Several happy hour items were around $5. Many mixed drinks amd beers were $5, and I believe the wings were around $8 during our visit. For the quality of the food, portions, and flavors, the prices were amazing. It made it easy to order a few different dishes and try a little of everything without spending a lot.

We also took home chicken tikka masala with saffron rice for our daughter, and that was excellent as well. The saffron rice was especially good, and the chicken tikka masala had great flavor.

Beyond the food, Curiosity is a really cute place. Great atmosphere and decor, very clean, friendly and attentive staff, and amazing prices for the quality of the food. Parking was fairly easy when we visited, and I also appreciated seeing an accessible ramp for anyone who needs it.

Great food, super affordable happy hour prices, and a fun atmosphere. If you're looking for Indian-inspired food, a great happy hour, or somewhere to grab a few small plates and try different flavors, Curiosity is definitely worth checking out. We'll absolutely be back.“

“We absolutely love Urban India. a group of us get together and have friends night out here about once a month. My hubby and I have birthday dinners and date nights here. The atmosphere is beautiful and quiet. The food is delicious! Chicken Tika Masala, Cheesy Garlic Naan and the Bullet Naan are soooo good! The Coconut curry is one of our favorites as well! The staff is friendly and attentive. We always have a wonderful time here!“

“Everything about this place is amazing!!! Authentic Pakistani food, great clean ambiance, and super friendly staff!! Must try their beef haleem and seekh kebabs!!“

“I know nothing about the seating arrangements, pricing (high or low…I’m from out of town, and door dashed). All I know is the food I ordered chicken samosa, veggie samosa, chicken biryani, garlic naan and tikka masala (spicy with chicken) is some of the best Indian food that I’ve had on this side of the world. Highly recommend!“

“Celebrating a Milestone for a family member, one of my favorite types cuisine....I would go back again !!!“

“We have ordered catering menu for my birthday here. Subha was accommodating. We specifically requested Chicken 65 be dry without sauce and chili fish with less sauce. And they have honored the request. Veg fried rice, chicken 65 and Rasamalai stood out and every guest mentioned food was really good. Our tummies were good next day without irritations, that we usually experience with restaurant foods. Price seems to be reasonable. Do try their catering..“
