This one seems to be around for a while. We as a group of friends dined here and were very disappointed. The South Indian dishes Idly and Dosa were not at all made well; we had to return some back. The shrimp curry and fish curry dishes had very few pieces for the price we paid. There was a buffet that we did not try but I doubt if it was any different in quality. I don't know if the management or cooks changed. Definitely I would avoid going there.

We visited the curry leaf restaurant based only on the Google reviews. To our surprise, the food tasted amazing. We ordered veg fried rice, chicken fried rice and a starter. Everything tasted great. The hotel took around 40 minutes of time, as they made our food from the scratch. The time we waited was worth it. The best fried rice, we tasted till date was Curry Leaf restaurant. The flavour, color and taste everything was well balanced. The hotel location is at a very quiet place. It had a good parking place. The staff was active and friendly. We ordered Darjeeling tea to try at the beginning, which also tasted good. Overall, a great restaurant. While returning, we ordered a take out. We ordered chicken Tikka naan and aloo paratha, which tasted great. The aloo paratha was fresh and not burnt. The Tikka paratha was lacking some taste. It was bland. On the whole, we would surely visit this restaurant again and again to try various dishes.

After waiting for an hour for our dinner we asked what was going on. Turns out the cook had misread the waitress's handwriting and got the order wrong. They said they were "working on it" and it would be ready "soon." No apology, no offer to make it right, just a vague "soon." We got up and left. So much for our anniversary dinner. Thanks Curry Leaf, you shall never see us again.

Open until 9:30PM. Ordered paper dosa, butter chicken (Makhani), Chana masala, all medium-hot spice levels. No rice and no naan bread either for us, the dosa is enough carbs. $42.99. I do like their copper chafing pans for their buffet, looks cool. The water here is a bit odd. Not sure what’s with the netted Christmas lights on the ceiling, many are out too. The dosa was colossally big here, super long, it’s crunchy on the top, a tad greasy and soggy on the bottom. The Rasam soup and the potato, peas and onion masala were both really good with the paper dosa. The potato masala reminds me of a warm potato salad, it’s good. The makhani or butter chicken was nicely seasoned. My hubby had a bit of gristle in a bite of his, but the flavors good. The Chana masala is also good, not scalding and white flavorful too. The food and service were all good, a first in a couple of nights now.

The food is absolutely amazing. I’ve been coming here for years, and I truly have amazing food each time. The chicken makani is amazing and this week I tried the lamb chops cooks in the tandoori pots. It was heaven!!!

Tasty Indian vegetarian food in town. Loved their lunch special buffet!

Three of us went there for lunch and really enjoyed their buffet. There was something for every palate although I would have liked food to be spicier. I guess I could have added this & that, but was too lazy to do that. Price was also reasonable. We would definitely go there again.

1st time eating there, they had a nice variety to choose from for lunch.. I would come again...

Saw Lamb Korma on the online menu and not on the in-house one and worried. But they did have it and it was absolutely amazing. The naan beats any I’ve had elsewhere, but that lamb and sauce blew my mind. Very nice and attentive staff as well.

One of worst places in Albuquerque to have Indian food, Starters were good but if you notice all the south indian items in bill were pathetic. Their speciality is dosa with full Potatoes ? not meshed ones as when questioned by us,Owner acknowledged she also takes similar dosas to home.Medu Vada was superb with almost 50-60 black pepper in a single vada,Sambhar was as if you are having toor dal.Will never recommend to anyone.
