Very nice and clean place with many options. Burrtito with paneer and samosa chaat were very good. All ingredients were fresh. Value for money!

Awesome find! I went here one evening on a weekday for dinner after finding this place on Yelp. Beforehand, I was thinking it looked a lot like Chipotle but with Indian food. I then realized it is very much like Chipotle in terms of going in, selecting either a bowl or burrito/wrap with toppings of your choice. The food was absolutely delicious but so very heavy; I could not finish my bowl in one sitting. Service was excellent! They were friendly and very helpful when I asked specific questions about the food. The place is a little hidden and didn't have that many parking spaces but I recommend giving this restaurant a try.

Honestly was excited to try. The portion was super small. Maybe a half scoop of a chicken in a bowl. Add in the fact it's more expensive than chipotle that's crazy. The person taking the order had AirPods in and was talking to someone in the phone. Felt so awkward even ordering. Wouldn't recommend this.

I used to love this place. I’m a little weary of recommending it these days. They’ve started pulling back on quantity, while prices have gone up. The only reason I keep coming back is the freshness of the ingredients. I hope they really train their folks to be a bit more reasonable about the chutneys and paneer.

Sam and Curry exceed my expectations. It truly is a Chipotle Indian style restaurant. I got the burrito bowl and my friend got the tacos. The ingredients were very fresh, and the most healthy tasting Indian food I've ever had. The service was friendly. I will definitely be adding Sam and Curry to my list of restaurants to regularly eat it. I wish I'd found them sooner.

Wow! It's like an Indian Chipotle but with much more flavor! The gentleman making my bowl helped me get a killer bowl that was so good and not too hot. Topped it off with a Taj beer. Good value.Parking: Shares a lot with other restaurants, Starbucks, and the Fairfield Hotel. So at peak times, it might be tight but not a bad walk.

Chipotle style for Indian food. Excellent meats and veggies taste for a casual joint. Bowls have very good portions, I easily split it in 2.

This is an Indian version of Chipotle, and I am genuinely mad that it's not in every corner of the country. Mind blown!

IT'S A HIT! Chipotle's Indian sibling? HELL YES. I'm probably not going to chipotle while I'm in San Jose. This place is amazing! Went there yesterday and tried their Burrito with Paneer. So filling, flavorful and tasty! I finished the whole thing, and my friend saved half for later. And you have so many options - more than chipotle. With only $2 more than your typical Chipotle order, it's a solid value for money. I highly recommend this place! Great job with this, Sam & Curry team! Can't wait for you guys to take over the Make your own space.
