Curry Leaf in Exeter

I love this place! My wife and I consider ourselves foodies and we don’t just eat anything because it’s food. We’ve gotta like it to love it! We LOVE this place!! Don’t be caught off guard. I know you’ll probably have the same feelings when you approach the restaurant and see that it’s next to a gas station. This place is a hidden gem and we drive all the way from Clearwater just to eat their food. Give them some grace and an open mind. When we started coming years ago they had a restaurant and still do but they’re doing renovations to it so they have to keep the business going by cooking out of a food truck! The food is just as great! Seriously! I’ve been coming here for years! If anyone is looking for amazing Indian food this is the place- no exceptions! You will love it and I can’t wait to see the updated restaurant! Don’t write a negative review because they can’t open their restaurant right now, it’s out of their hands. They’re doing the best with what they have so let them continue by pushing out legendary cuisine!

Their staff is so friendly and place is always nice and welcoming

Butter chicken and chicken vindaloo are my go to’s food is so flavorful!

Amazing Indian food!!! 🥘 very good prices! I ordered the lamb vindaaloo 🤩 very hard to find food truck. No parking, take out only. But it’s a gem 💎 in Tampa, FL oh the samosas and garlic 🧄 naan 🤩 yummy 😋 yummy 😋

I would say best indian food so far in USA, i had heard about this place since I landed in Tampa and went to try it out other day after trying multiple places. I have to say, food is as authentic as it can be. They don't take shortcuts, spices, chilli and herbs, cheese, garlic everything was used perfectly. looks can be deceiving but the food is absolutely no inferior than any Michelin star resturant.

We did take out from Curry leaves while visiting Tampa based on all the good Google reviews and was excited to see Kerala food which were recommended by a popular YouTuber. We tried many items from their menu and some items were good or ok and others disappointing. But I think they are really overpriced for the quality and the expected Kerala taste .Beef Ularthu, Fish Biriyani (either Mahi mahi or Tilapia) and Chicken Varutharachathu were ok. Chicken Biriyani doesn't taste like any version of Kerala Biriyani. We called the restaurant to confirm this before placing order but unfortunately it tasted more like North Indian Biriyani with boneless chicken pieces. Vegetable biryani and Pepper chicken was below average. Kerala Porotta was good the first time we ordered. But second time it was the worst we ever had. It was definitely a frozen store bought one and not made in-house. At least they could have given a better brand frozen one. The frozen ones we usually get from Indian store is 10 times better than this. This restaurant charge around $5 per porotta and we can usually get a frozen family pack for that price. Extremely over priced and disappointing in taste and texture. Mango Lassi has excessive cardamom taste but Jalebi tasted good. I read that they now operate out of a food truck and I am not sure if the sub standard food was because of that. But if thats is the case, they should definitely price it accordingly.

They say they are open not only the dirty food truck was open and inside was closed

Excited for it to open back up for dining! Our favorite Indian hands down, every dish is so good

Food was absolutely amazing the customer service was great! Awesome experience and authentic Indian cuisine!

Good food. Had paneer chilly, paneer khurchan and dahi poori. Everything tasted good.

The dishes are well done, especially considering that they’re cooking in a food truck while the restaurant is being remodeled. Service is always friendly and prompt.

This place has the best Indian food I’ve tried in Tampa! The service is always great here too! I definitely recommend the goat biryani/curry.

We love this place. Best Indian food. Obviously are doing their best while renovating. Currently a food truck but the food quality is just the same!

The food is okay but the staff is super rude there. We drove 30 mins to have some Indo-Chinese starters and ordered Paneer Chilli and Chicken 65. Paneer Chilli was pretty good but the Chicken 65 was bland with no salt. First they argued, then they said will re-make it and after waiting for 15 mins, they said they’re not doing it. That’s the most rude behaviour towards your customer I have seen in any restaurant ever I have been to. Don’t be in this business if you cant handle customers and have anger issues. I am giving taste of food a 3/5 and <0 for their customer service.

Food is above and beyond, favorite Indian in the Tampa area

Despite the restaurant being closed for renovations, they're serving thru a food truck. Made our 2+ hrs trip totally worthwhile. Authentic and tasty food! Waiting to go back for more, especially want to try the Jackfruit seed vegetable! 9th Apr, 2024. Can only get go to order, but ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! We got the fish biryani, fish vepudu (appetizer) and went across the parking lot to the Westshore Plaza (mall) and ate the food there. So very good!

Curry leaves used to operate out of a restaurant next to the BP gas station but now the kitchen is under going a kitchen remodel till August 2024 . Their backup plan is operating out of a food truck next to the same gas station and we are so lucky they are continuing cooking in the food truck. This place is amazing with authentic Indian curries of meat, vegetarian and many other goodies . We got the Malabar goat and chettinand chicken, roti and aloo paratha and it was amazing. There is no dine in area for now but the food is amazing as to go. You will be delighted you did.

We ordered take out but, when we went to pick up our order, the dining room was closed. We were instructed to pick up take out from food truck park on the side of building. I am totally fine with that but, I am concerned that the restaurant isn’t going to open dining room? Is it under renovation or are they moving or closing? I really up it’s just renovation and they will open soon!

Food which we had today was fully oily.. Earlier we used to love having food from curry leaves.. Considering the taste and quality we purchased it today .. However the food disappointed us .. It was full of oil and no taste as well.

Look, I think the food here is great and the service is good. Very friendly, but I just think it's too expensive. The lunch was delicious but I cannot justify 20 dollars for a lunch. Let me reiterate. The food was very tasty. But I think lunch should be $10 dollars, not $20. Therefore, I rated it 3 stars.

Been going to this place for years and the food is always great. I really appreciate the large selection of vegan options. Very happy to see they are trying to make things work with the food truck while they figure out opening up their restaurant again. I’ll support Curry Leaves either way.

They are closed for remodeling and only to go for some items. No information updated.

Absolutely delicious! Favorite Indian restaurant in town

Curry Leaves serves up authentic Indian dishes in a friendly atmosphere. From spicy curries to flavorful tandoori options, there's something for everyone. Enjoy a taste of India with friends and family at Curry Leaves. 👌

Can't wait for you to have your restaurant back but I would order your food whatever you are serving out of. Best Indian food in Tampa!!!

I have been twice and the dishes were exceptional!!! Best in the St Pete/Tampa area, I am patiently waiting on the restaurant to open as I have to drive back home to St Pete to eat the take away!!

Ela tintunaru bhayya ikada 🙏 Yesterday Night ordered Biryani entha worst undi antey Bro guntur annaru kada, Ala ela chesaru Pls avoid

I ordered Chicken Varutharachathu (Chef Signature Dish), and it was amazing . The menu has some great options , I still want to try the wings and also the chicken Tika pizza . Really large portion thank you 😊

They had just what I was looking for when I saw this place while passing by. The vegetable pakoras were fresh and delicious! My fav Indian dish for sure

One item and bread enough to fill half your stomach will cost you $20 and up for the same price. You can feed a whole family anywhere else. This is not authentic Indian food. It is Americanized and very sweet. Everything involves coconut. They need to restructure their price menu, make it affordable for a food truck, it is not a restaurant and put some authentic Indian food on the menu.

Always on time. Always delicious. Highly recommend in every way!

Don't sleep on this place because it shares a location with a gas station. It's the best Indian restaurant in Tampa. Consistently high quality. Each dinner portion can easily be made into two meals. The vindaloo, phaal, and chili garlic naan are personal favorites of ours.

Takeout order. Great food. Will definitely order again.

The chicken masala and aloo paratha were very good! 👍🏼 👍🏼

I placed the order for Paneer Makhani and Naan! The amount of color, the over sweetness, the paneer being stiff and not soft and fresh, half cooked naan was very disappointing and upsetting. I placed the order by looking at the reviews and the overall good badge by uber eats. This food was stale, bad in taste, badly presented and I spent 30$ on it. I just feel bad. I don’t usually leave reviews, but it was so bad, that I wouldn’t want people to spoil their appetite and health.

Was craving some Indian food, and this was the first place that popped up and they had great reviews. The food EXCEEDED my expectations. It was delicious and everyone was so helpful to ensure I received my order. Every plate was super flavorful and we will definitely be getting food from there again soon. Great portions - had 4 meals/4 people & we will all have leftovers!

They are going through remodeling so only take away, I ordered chicken briyani, chicken wings, butter Naan, kadai paneer... the chicken was very hard both in briyani and in wings... Naan is actually like tandoori roti and was very thick... because of these reasons I rated 1 star

I had my first Indian dish at a very famous restaurant in Doha, Qatar many years ago, and immediately fell in love with the taste and the aromas which the Indian cuisine is very famous of. Since then, I’ve tried many restaurants in the Us, but Curry Leaves was the only restaurant that came at the same level. Their korma is to die for, the drums of heaven are truly heavenly and their Biryani is just out of this world! I dined in when they were open for dining in, and always had a wonderful experience with the servers, and I still order to go, while patiently waiting on their construction work to be done. Absolutely amazing!

We ordered for a business lunch. The food tasted amazing, everything was correct, and was delivered on time. We will be ordering again!

Owner is an extremely kind individual and food was divine! Try the mango lassi too!

Tadilat dolayısıyla arabada servis yapıyorlar çok iyi

Got off Uber Eats! SO GOOD! Big portions and will definitely be going back!

We were very excited to try this place as we’d heard it was amazing. We ordered pick up and waited the 45 minutes to drive over. When we arrived they said they were still working on our order so we waited an extra 25 minutes. When we got home with our food we were disappointed at the flavor and quality. Our dishes lacked flavor and the wings were drenched in oil. We will not be dining here again.

Chicken biryani was no where close to biryani.As soon as I opened the lid I can smell the rose water essence for few minutes. Naan’s , paneer curry and samosa chat was well done.

No dine in they should have posted it on website.

Oh...my...goodness... I drove all the way from St. Pete...and I am so happy I did! Ordered 3 different dishes because I couldn't decide...and let me tell you...WOW! 3 dishes, 3 different flavorings, I have not had Indian food like this before...Thank you for making my tastebuds dance! Amazing! I will be back this week :)

Was craving biryani, Googled up this place and reviews said it was good biryani but it lacked flavour and was the most average biryani ever. Didn’t enjoy it. Chicken 65 wasn’t good. I liked the samosas. Kinda disappointed :(

The food is delicious, hands down the best Indian food there is in Tampa, area.

This place is always a hit when I order for my family or the office - always fresh and tasty and large portion sizes. It's a definite go to!

The restaurant is closed for renovations, but they are still operating out of a food truck. made the more than two-hour trek well worth it. Delicious and authentic meals! I'm eager to return for more, especially to taste the vegetable made from jackfruit seeds!

My favorite Indian restaurant in Tampa Bay. I gladly drive from south St. Petersburg to eat here.

Pretty great option, very well known in Tampa. Yes, it’s in a gas station but the vibe inside is fine. Order the gulab jamun for dessert. The lunch buffet is different than the dinner menu (both are great) and worth making the extra effort to get there for a lunch, once in a while.

My go to place when I’m in Tampa! Some of the best Indian food around.

Delicious! Shrimp tikka masala and bindhi was sooo good!

Curry Leaves is a hidden gem of the best Indian food in Tampa. It is so consistent and we love it to pieces.

Its just white people Indian restaurant and very average food with very very rude staff towards colored people

They were doing renovations but had the food truck on the side. Food was amazing, and we asked for spicy… and got spicy. Enjoyed the food, the spice level did not change the amount of flavor all the food had. Friendly staff and delicious food.

This place has been my go to for amazing Indian food. Although the restaurant isn’t open I still frequent this place. I may be pronouncing his name wrong but harish is an amazing guy. The customer service on this place is unmatched. Wishing them the best of luck for getting the restaurant back open.

It's a food truck, the food was prepared fresh and in under 15 minutes. The positives ends there. The chapati, Indian bread is wholesome and is made of wheat The butter chicken and aloo ghobi was laden with whole lot of Oil to the point that it was brimming with cooking oil. The chicken was under cooked and had tons of food color that turned my fingers orange. The aloo ghobi, which is potatoes and cauliflower had very less of cauliflower but ample amount of cooking oil. I would steer away. The high reviews are unjustified or maybe I got an off order.

Went here a few years ago when sit down dining was available and the food and service were amazing! Unfortunately, my experience last night was not quite as enjoyable. They’re working out of a food truck right now during restaurant renovations so I drove from Pinellas to pick up food. The service wasn’t nearly as friendly as before and the food was ok. The chicken was dry and bland and they forgot to pack my garlic naan. The saag paneer was tasty, thankfully. The samosas were pretty good but their mint and tamarind sauces were delicious!

Curry Leaves is our FAVORITE Indian Restaurant out of everywhere in the US we have tried. We have done both dine in (before construction) and takeout. They are fantastic in every format! We have moved away from the Tampa area, but they are always on my short list of “must visit” restaurants when we come back. No one else compares. They are friendly, make delicious food and will be back to dine-in status one day!

Best butter chicken I’ve had in Tampa.

The first few times when we came here, the biriyani was flavorful and the food quality was great. My husband ordered biriyani twice from here recently and the food quality wasn’t great. The biriyani tasted very bland and had no spice. He drove half an hour to get the food and we were disappointed and wasted our time. The food used to be so good and I don’t know what happened. The biriyani tasted like they just quickly mixed rice and chicken. If you are charging the same price for the biriyani from the food truck then don’t compromise on the quality.

Fantastic food, my go to place for Indian cuisine

Hands down best Indian food in the bay area. Btw if you ask for Indian hot be prepared cause it will be extremely spicy which for me was amazing. Excited for the newly renovated restaurant to reopen.

Ordered mutton biryanis , chicken biriyani and chilli chikcken. My wife loved mutton biriyani good quantity great cooked nice taste and they put good quality of goat meat on it. No cost cutting like less pieces. Chicken biriyani too good and chilli chicken but a lot of oily. So not good on healthy aspect.

Food was awesome. I never tried Indian food but my goodness it's so good. Unfortunately some of them personality was a little rude but hey it is what it is. Good food though!

Don't sleep on this one because it's a gas station. The food was really good, even out of their food truck. Tika and vindaloo were both fantastic

My boyfriend is Indian and he says this is the most authentic Indian taste he has had in Tampa. The paneer and malai kofta are highly recommend

Honestly, my meals taste amazing, staff has always been friendly and as they are going through renovations, takeout has not disappointed in any way. You can feel the pride in the product and that is why I remain so loyal.

The food and service are inconsistent. Have been going for years. Tonight’s food and service however, was exceptional and the food quality was best yet.

I miss eating inside! The food is amazing

Food was so good! Introduced my grandkids to Indian for the first time and they loved it.

I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Paneer Makhani and some Naans the food has no taste at all the curries taste like knorr tomato soup and chicken and paneer was so dry and taste was eeeww never ever going to order from curries and not hygienic too by looking at the food truck outside gas station and you are selling such worst quality with higher prices too wish I can give zero ⭐️

The BEST Indian food I've had in a long time ! I normally drive to Orlando for Indian food but was near Tampa international and found this gem . I got paneer makhni and oh my gosh I could've licked the bowl .... who am I kidding , I did lick the bowl ! Run don't walk your get your Indian food cravings satisfied here . 😋

Horrible food.Chicken was not even semi cooked.Not sure how this place has so many good reviews.

They're in a food truck now. But that's not the worst part. I ordered chilli chicken. I realized I shouldn't have. It was obviously left over chicken they dipped in sauce and selling as chilli chicken.

FYI …This place is just a food truck on the gas station, I thought its sit down restaurant based on photos.

Pick up order was ready on time Food is always exceptional although a bit pricey

Expected Dhum biryani.. we didn’t like the taste of it

Loved this restaurant. The food was excellent. We are vegan, and they easily accommodated our request.

We're so happy that they are doing takeaway while remodeling the restaurant. The food is still excellent and the guys in the satellite kitchen are so nice and helpful. Curry Leaves is the only choice for Indian food in Tampa.

I tried Curry Leaves for the first time last night. It's take out only right now since they are renovating, so you will get your food at the food truck to the right hand side of the building. The service was quick and efficient. The food was still hot when I got home (about a 15 minute drive) which was nice. I got the butter chicken and the Chef's Special curry. Both were really good and substantially better than most Indian food that I've had at restaurants. I'll be ordering again!

They are currently remodeling their kitchen so it's food truck service only but don't let that deter you from ordering! Walking up to the food truck they immediately greeted us and presented us with a very extensive menu. Our wait was approximately 20min after ordering and the food was fresh, hot, and amazing! Lots of places to grab a drink nearby while waiting! Highly recommend the Chicken Varutharachathu (Chef Signature Dish) and their Naan bread. Brings back memories of my Indian friend mom's home cooking!

Ordered goat biriyani and got a bowl of rice and bones. Horrible for $20+

Curry Leaves never disappoints! Every dish I've tried is delicious. Great option for takeout and generous portions. Do not be alarmed by its location at all!

I don’t like spicy food but I absolutely love their chicken korma. It goes great with the garlic naan!! I love this place and highly recommend it!! Plus the staff is SOOOO NICE

Good good and fast advice . Currently undergoing renovation because of which there is only take out .

I ordered garlic naan and that did not come in the order that was given to me.

Great food taste good really liked it

Best Indian restaurant in tampa.

Food was pretty good except the chicken tikka nan bread was burnt and flavorless.

Very nice place and food superb!

I was told by a friend this was the most authentic Indian food you will get around. In my goodness it really was!!! I drove 45 minutes to get there, and absolutely worth every minute. I will be going back!!

The food is so delicious! And they have a large vegan selection. Their customer service is kind, friendly and efficient! I love the vegetable masala 💕

I’ve only ordered food to go from here and it’s nice to see a menu that has good South Indian options. The ularthu was delicious. Would go back for that dish alone. My only criticism is that the tikka masala was too sweet (even if you order spicy they add sugar to balance out the heat which defeats the purpose imo- that was disappointing). I was curious about their dosas but they are under construction right now and kitchen is only open for to-go options. I recommend this place and would go back to try other options myself.

I drove to the restaurant and discovered this isn't a restaurant as posted. It's a food truck next to a car wash. Totally disappointed

Best Indian food in Tampa area!

Must try andhra shrimp appetizer for seafood lovers

I was in Tampa for work for 1 night and got takeout from this place. Sooo yummy and ready right on time and hot! Highly recommend.
