House of Curries

You will not get rice even if you order curry.

Came here at the recommendation of a friend who had spent time in Berkeley years earlier. The counter and seating area was quite dirty and service appeared disinterested. We promptly walked out because, if the front of the restaurant is so dirty and poorly managed, what does the kitchen look like? Yikes!

The food itself tasted fine to me but the place is quite filthy and there is never someone at the counter to order from. The place is kind of decrepit and seems to share an entrance with a sketchy motel. In an effort to find the person to order from i walked by an abandoned lounge area with a large dirty sectional couch and also another storage-type room with paper all over it.

Nice meal but they simply couldn’t be bothered about additional instructions. Countless of time, I’ve specified my need for utensils only to be disappointed when the order is delivered. How do you expect me to eat the meal?

Their naan is really good, and their Baigan Bharta is pretty good Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan options

This place has both outdoor and indoor dining. It is a self-serve restaurant so we went and picked up cutlery, crockery etc ourselves. It was around 1 pm when we arrived. On inquiry, we were told that kababs were not available so we ordered chicken karahi, chicken biryani and naan which arrived on our table in 10 or so minutes. The serving size was decent. The biryani tasted more like pulao than authentic biryani. The karahi, while fresh was average. Best part of the meal were the fresh, piping hot naan. The items are priced cheaply, which is why this place is still running but attention to hygiene as far as dining area is concerned will go a long way to attract more customers.The place is filthy and decrepit for sure. Owners have paid no attention to decor and ambience and while this is near UC Berkeley where the students may not focus that much on ambience/decor, this place has potential to attract a lot more customers if attention to certain minor things is made.

They are now permanently closed.

Mal lugar. Tardaron aproximadamente media hora para atendernos. Atendieron a otras mesas antes de nosotros y solo éramos 4
