House Of Curries - Albany

The food at this restaurant is amazing! The curry is rich and flavorful. We are making it our mission to try all the restaurants in Solano over the years. The service is quick and friendly, and the food is delicious. What more could you ask for in a meal?

I'll start this by saying I've only ordered lamb curries... I only ever order lamb and goat curries. I've been going to House of Curries since they opened on Solano. I've never been disappointed. For me what makes them a solid 5 stars instead of 4 is the consistently high quality of the cooked lamb. Their lamb is never overcooked or dry or tough, or if it has been I can't remember when. In my experience this isn't something that a lot of places do consistently well. They also also are generous with the amount of lamb, which is always a plus. (Reading other reviews this may only still apply to ordering in person or on the phone. If you didn't know most ordering apps take like 20% of the check, few restaurants have the margins to support that. One of the things that makes them unique, may also turn people off. Their cheese naan uses lots mozzarella instead of paneer. It's fantastic. I call it pizza naan : If you're ever torn between pizza and curry, go here. Otherwise, they're a solid 4 stars. I think most Indian food in the bay is. I say that even though they are my probably one of my favorite places to eat. To me their spice blends are good, but not stellar. They're a little afraid of heat, but that's probably because their customers are. Also their chai is marginal. Anyways, they're worth your time. I can't think of many local places that are notably better.

Their 10-11 dollar lunch comes with two heaps of curries and rice and naan and free masala chai! The food is delicious and I always take half of it home.

After being a loyal customer for 10 years, I finally took some pictures and wrote my review. The cheese naan at this restaurant is absolutely heavenly. I'm not exaggerating. It's so delicious that I could probably eat it every day. That's why I never had the opportunity to take a picture before. Why now? Because I visited during Ramadan and the naan was ready just 2 minutes before sunset. Finally, picture time! Make sure to try the cheese naan here. This is the only place in the Bay Area that serves cheese naan like this.

Great food and nice service! The lamb curry and the milk tea really liked.
