Curry & More - Indian Bistro

We did not like the food here. I've been to the Curry and More in Oceanside, which I thought was decent. So we decided to try this location. It definitely has a more Indian restaurant feel to it than the Oceanside location so I had higher hopes. We ordered the Frontier Boti Kebab as it was publicized as their "signature", the coconut chicken curry with a side of jeera aloo and daal and a garlic and basil naan and plain naan. The signature was not good. As an Indian, I'm used to kebabs being chicken or lamb based, which means that the meat is more tender. A kebab also has smaller pieces. The beef was not tender, in fact, it was very chewy. The marinated spices were kind of non-existent on the beef itself. They were just on the plate and on the veggies, which were delicious tasting by the way. The coconut chicken was decent. The jeera aloo side was the best of the lot, which says a lot about what we thought of the main entrees. The daal was bland. I think the worst offender however, was the garlic and basil naan. When you think garlic and basil naan, you want to see garlic piece, basil leaves and butter. This naan had garlic powder (blasphemy!), dried basil and zero butter. It was on the harder side and just not good. I love my garlic naans. The more garlic, the better! This one ranks as one of the worst naans I have eaten. We will not return as we expected more from this visit than what we ultimately got.

Such a hidden gem! Service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. Highly recommend the pea sprout coated calamari. The fruit dipping sauce pairs amazingly well. Everything was made fresh to order. Garlic naan was actually garlicky. Generous portion sizes suitable for sharing.

The food is good, the ambience is nice and the restaurant is clean but the service sucks! There is man who is often there, not the owner, he make sure you know that he’s annoyed if you go there after 7:30 PM. He tries everything to talk you out of eating there and if you decide to still eat there, he will give you attitude. We told him that they closed at 8:30 (although on the door it says 10 PM) and we’re here an hour before. Why do you act like it’s late? He said. “ I have a family And I would like to go home to them too”. Yes, I agree, but we had an hour to eat and they close d at 8:30. He os super rude. The only reason we wouldn’t go there again is because of him. I had friends that experienced the same thing and they have stopped going as well.

The employees were incredible. The owner was there on site. The food was incredible tandoori like you’ve never had. I had the chicken with the almond and cashews. Best Indian dish I’ve ever had in my life.

Some excellent food in San Marcos. Paneer tikka one of the best here!! Mango lassi was great! Samosa and hot and crispy with salad on the side. Bhelpuri is to die for!! The sides of raitha and dal is again fresh and tasty!! Tandoori wings again grilled to perfection so good! Kheer also was not very sweet jusg perfect! Highly recommend this place. Loved the food and service here.
