This place serves stale old food. They serve old food that is sometimes spoiled. Avoid if you don't wanna get sick.

Absolutely delicious and very friendly service. Catered a party with the assistance of Curry Point and they were on time with the order, everything was hot and well prepared, and the meal was very much enjoyed by all. Thank you Curry Point!

The food is good, as well as the service. The portions are generous. Highly underrated for the price.

I was really looking forward to enjoying more chicken in the Chicken Tikka Masala, but to my surprise, the dish should have been called Carrot Tikka Masala instead. Each container had only a handful of minuscule chicken pieces, while the majority consisted of carrots. Even the presence of other vegetables was barely noticeable, if there were any at all. It's such a shame because this place was absolutely fabulous when we last visited in February or March. The recent experience, however, was quite lackluster, which might explain why there were zero customers inside when we went. We will not be going back. Especially for the prices and poor quality of dishes.

The food was absolutely disgusting, old and so many spices. The meat was old. We ordered and the food was ready within 5 min so probably left overs never again

Food is fine, but there was a part-time guy working last night who had no idea about waiting tables.Unrefilled water, no condiments with the noodles, and a couple of other bigger issues that are even more indicative of not knowing how to wait on customers.If the owner is away, the least he should do is tell his helper how to do the job properly.

For Birayni's my go to has been Tabla in the Peninsula. I decided to try Curry Point yesterday. Got 2 Goat dum biryanis and one vijaywada chicken biryani. They were both awful. The rice did not have any flavor, the goat was hard and unflavorful; the chicken in the chicken biryani was unedible (rubbery and felt like just overboiled blubber). on the flip side, when you order at Tabla you invariably have to wait 15-25 min over the actual pick up time; at Curry point it was ready 10 min earlier... From now on, if biryani it's Tabla or nothing else for me.

We love this place! This is some of the best Indian in the Bay Area by far. All dishes had very rich, deeply complex, and distinct flavors. We were so pleased! We will definitely be back as regulars.

I had the Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani and it was very flavorful. I almost forgot how spicy it was because I just wanted to keep eating it! My friends had the Nizami Goat Curry and Masala Dosa, and they seemed to enjoy those as well. The restaurant is next to an adult toy shop, so I probably would not take children here, but would take...out here.

Quick take: "tantalizing and exceptional taste" The food is very flavorful. I liked all 3 items. We dined in and the service was minimal. We got a pitcher of water that didn't fill up either of our cups. Never asked or checked if we needed more water. Probably would prefer takeout and eat at home. The menu has a lot of non vegetarian and vegetarian options. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Hyderabadi Chicken Biriyani, and Malabar Paratha. The flavor is very good. I enjoyed dipping the paratha into the creamy masala. The checkout process was a bit confusing. I wasn't paying the bill so I was vaguely told afterwards that there was a service charge attached to our bill. Not realizing if that represented an included tip or if that is a charge for something else. I did not see the transaction or else I would have asked about it for clarification. Since I'm Asian and well versed with good food not aligning with exception service I will still give this place a good rating. I will recommend this establishment as a takeout spot.

This place is a great joint for Hyderabadi food. I loved their dosa, Mysore masala dosa was better than masala dosa. The potato filling was way to spicy for me, but the restaurant made another one fresh which was great. The service was quick and courteous, I will definitely visit again,

One of the best tasting Hyderabad chicken dum biryani in the Bay Area. Pretty high up the mark. Am from Andhra and everyone in my family loved how tasty and flavourful the biryani is. We recently moved to the area (we lived in south bay which is the hub of South Indian food and in SF) and felt very happy that we have such tasty Andhra food available to us nearby. Looking forward to try many more dishes from curry point. Also noticed there used to be another popular Andhra restaurant in the same location earlier. Not sure if it's the same management or a different establishment all together.

Stopped by for a quick lunch on New Year's Day based on all of the great reviews. The best butter chicken I've had on the peninsula! Great service, and super affordable, which I know we're all keeping in mind with prices going up everywhere. So happy to have found my new Indian restaurant!
