It is fairly wheelchair accessible as long as you don’t use the bathroom!! Place isn’t THAT big but no steps at entrance and several tables you can roll up to.

Workers are few so running around like crazy. Food is great!! Yummm on many items. My fav is the vindaloo even though it is very spicy!! 🌶️

Hate to see them close shop so getting my curry on as much as possible. Parking is rough and it doesn’t take much to get crowded/loud!

Bro. Don’t get the spicy curry (phall). It made my stomach hurt. 😞 too much ghost pepper & habanero. It’s basically great food and service but this restaurant is closing at the end of 2024. Losing business is gonna close this place up. :( better catch it before it closes shop. The cultural curries are legit… just really wish I could have tried something that was not going to ruin me. lol.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 03/2022
I used to come here pretty often until they raised the prices and the quality began to shift a few years ago. Since then I would go twice a year. The last time I went was in June (of 2021) and everything was fine.

Then, I came again because I was in the area and boy, did things change:

• Everything seemed to be heavily seasoned with ginger, even dishes from completely different regions.
• Animal proteins now cost extra--only vegetables and tofu come with curry entrees. It's now $0.75 each for regular, $1.50 for large.
• The price went up, again. Large starts at $16, regular for $12.75. Everything else also went up.
• Upcharges for things like double veggies, swapping rice for plain naan and other things that were either nominal or free.

Besides that, the chicken in the dish was dry and mild spiciness was certainly not mild. After this, I've decided to not return, but not after having previously dealt with (and tolerated) a case of food poisoning, an instance of incredibly terrible service, and consistently charred naan. Again, these things happened in the past and I've been going here for more than ten years.

Also, a small gripe: Tikka Masala is not Indian, it is an Bangladeshi-English dish. Before, they noted it as English, but have now called it an Indian dish.

Hah! I just got an e-mail saying that this place is going out of business soon! Serves you right for nickel and diming everything and overcharging. You used to be my favorite place and now I'm happy you're going. Bye. 👋

I am sorry your father passed away, but I guess you misinterpreted my original review. It was June 2021 where everything was -relatively- fine and then March 2022 that I wrote the review. I added that in to the original review just now for context.

I had gone to this establishment regularly since about 2012, but I went there on occasion since before then. I went probably about ten times a year during that time, but then the quality started to drop, they seemed to not be able to keep any of the good wait staff any more, and prices kept jumping (which, I get, it's PB and minimum wage kept going up).

So, I started going only went twice a year and unfortunately things only got worse, not better. Then they pulled the nickel and diming nonsense, as well as the weird ginger thing, compounded by all the aforementioned past experiences in the original review that we tolerated, that was it.

Oh well. C'est la vie.

Been eating here for years and it’s always been excellent. As of today it still was. I will definitely continue to return as long as they are open.

This is a dream business scenario, stable customer base, brand loyalty, great location, quality product, reasonable prices, amazing staff that know the place inside and out... Finding a partner to keep it open [or even elevate it] should be very easy. No reason to close on my opinion.

Hidden gem, great food, so sad to see it go. Owners are very down to earth. I like the veggie tempura and basically everything else I’ve ever tried here. Also love that they serve big two towns ciders. Delicious. Dessert is great too.

Walked in 2:30pm. Nice gentleman brought us waters and that was it. Waited 30 min to order drinks and food - had the menu practically memorized at that point lol. There was ONE other family in there. We left to get food elsewhere. Kinda ridiculous

Update Juneteenth 2024- After 25 years of return dining at World Curry, I have not been disappointed once!

Fast friendly service, can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Bali beef is phenomenal. If you haven't been to World Curry yet, you are missing out!
