Apparently this restaurant inside the Radisson hotel is now called Taste of India, no longer Curry Kitchen. Just had an incredible dinner here!!! It has been a few years since I've eaten at curry kitchen and it's the first time that I'm at this location. There is plenty of parking. The staff and chef are so incredibly friendly. I ordered the biryani, lamb curry, and butter chicken to go. It was incredible!!! Tasted just like the old school curry kitchen on Fulton. On top of this, it's right on the river so the views are lovely. Highly recommend everyone come check it out.

Now located in the Radisson, I was still disappointed by this restaurant. The service was little to none existing. I noticed others having to go and ask for service and basic things like cutlery, water, etc. People had dirty plates piled on the tables. Dishes in the "buffet" were 4 curries, plain rice, onion Pokora, and some fruit and veggies with sauces. When asking for more naan, which we thought was included in the buffet and was confirmed by the owner who spent most of his time on his phone, we were told we would be charged extra. Will never come here ever again.

Mithu 4309 Kalamazoo Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49508, has better service, variety, the owners constantly check on you and are so friendly and what they say are included in the buffet are included in the price. They usually have 14 different items, along with a couple of drinks, and dessert in the buffet. It's further from here which is the sad thing, but willing to make the drive because they don't deserve my hard earn cash. They clearly showed they didn't want or need it, so if you were there on 10/22/2022 after 1pm, make your review to back this up! Thanks!

The food was very good, so many excellent choices and you can choose your heat on a scale of 0 to 5, I went with 2.5 and my dinner guest went with 0. I loved the view of the Grand River while dining, and the restaurant was so quiet it was very relaxing. I had the Mango Lamb and Naan, and would order it again. I noticed that there were a lot of take out orders, but at 6:00 P M. I was a little worried that we were the only 2 dining, another party of several people came in as we were leaving, I hope this restaurant thrives because good Indian food, especially on my side of town is hard to find. Hopefully I will be back soon.

Today was our first visit to Curry Kitchen for their lunch buffet. We were very impressed with the wide range of selections. Beginning with a nice salad bar and fresh fruit then basmati rice with 6-7 dishes to put over the rice. Butter chicken was our favorite and an excellent curry chicken was a close second. There was a tofu dish as well as a vegetarian dish. The rice pudding for dessert was excellent. All a bargain at $14! The staff was very attentive. All meals are accompanied by a basket of warm naan.

I gave them three stars for food and location only. I have to take one star because they had such poor service that it is better to go somewhere else. And another star because they don’t have halal meat.We went there on Saturday around 6pm with the family and ordered our food by 6:30pm. We got the appetizer in 40 mins and then there was another delay of 40 mins between appetizers and main course. By which time our children have had enough and we had had to hurry.

We ate here a couple of weeks ago. The food was excellent. The physical plant was nice. You can get a table next to the Grand River. Unfortunately the wait staff was kind of clueless, certainly not on a par with the food. The food itself would rate 5 stars the wait staff at most 3 stars. With several other Indian restaurants in the area that are outstanding in all respects a return trip might be hard to swing.

Food is good if you actually get it. Been here for an hour and a half and placed the order two hours ago. No updates just excuses and no refunds. Seriously?? So expensive. If I knew it would take this long for chicken and rice I wouldn't have come.

My new favorite Indian place in GR! Can’t wait for the outdoor patio next summer. Great view of the river. Raj and the staff were outstanding. Highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I LOVE curry kitchen. We used to order butter chicken at least once a week. We love that they let you pick your spice because we love some spice in our food! We haven't ordered in a few weeks because the past 3 or 4 times we've gotten it, there has been little to no spice in it. Recently they have been very inconsistent with the spice and it's sad because I don't want to order it and take a gamble. It's a completely different taste and I can't tell if it's spicy until I get home and taste it. I miss my spicy butter chicken.
Came to check out the new spot after missing you guys for a bit. Food was good and the staff were all kind and attentive. They seem to all keep an eye on guests needs so thats awesome teamwork :) see ya back soon!

I really wish I didn't have to give such a negative review to a local business that is clearly struggling (the place is always empty and they've changed locations several times recently). Their food has always been outstanding, but I had such a negative experience recently that I felt it necessary to share. I ordered carry-out lunch for my staff of 11 people. This was a $300 order with gratuity. After we picked it up and returned to our office we found several items missing. I called and restaurant and after some push back they agreed that they made a mistake some items had been missed. I made a second trip to pick up the missed items and the hostess informed me that they would only be providing me with some of what we were shorted because, "The chef said he made that". I insisted that we were shorted a meal and one of my staff members didn't get a lunch. She just shrugged her shoulders. When I made it clear that I would be leaving the restaurant very unhappy and likely to provide a negative review she said, "not my business". As a customer service representative I would consider this 100% her business. If you mess up my order and make me drive back to your restaurant to get the food you shorted me I would prefer you not call me a liar in the process. I'm not looking to scam anyone. I just want what I paid for. Or, at the very least some consideration for my trouble. It wasn't just the hostess either. The chef made a conscious decision to not replace the dish and instructed her to tell me I didn't deserve it. Even the best Roganjosh is not worth dealing this such terrible customer service. I will not be returning to Curry Kitchen.

Update; I had to drop a star. While the food continues to be very good on the buffet, the afternoon staff is just consistently subpar. They sit at a table on their phones and generally pay no attention to the customers. It's quite a shame because it's probably preventing us from coming back. Great buffet for lunch. High quality Indian Food. Would love to see it busier so it stays around! If you like Indian food, it wasn't too try it for the first time a buffet is a great option. Highly recommended.

I used to love this place when it was on Fulton. I recently tried the new location for the lunch buffet and had an off-putting experience. While we ate, the manager (who seemed to be a hotel employee) was berating and micromanaging the restaurant employees in front of us. It was very uncomfortable. The food was fine and I'm still giving a 5-star rating because this seems more like a reflection of the hotel than the restaurant, but I don't think I'd come here again after that experience (unless they find a new location!).
