Curry & Spice Bar (Delaware)

I ended coming here as I needed to shop at the Middletown Walmart and as out of the way it is for me, I wanted to try a local restaurant. Curry & Spice had some very good reviews so I came to visit. It is in a strip mall in the main shopping area in Middletown and easy to find and plenty of parking. The restaurant has more of a contemporary atmosphere compared to many Indian restaurants, but it's well-lit and very clean. Overall the service was good and the server made sure their tables were taken care of. For my meal, I went with a kadai paneer. While not my usual choice, it's tough to find someone who makes kadai curry. To accompany the curry I had a mango lassi and some buttered naan. The kadai was very tasty and the paneer was just right; cooked well with a bit of bounce to the b

Highly recommend coming here if you haven’t already. The wait staff has been very nice each time I’ve gone and the right amount of attentive. The second time I went they had a small band playing which was a nice touch. Their spice level is a little on the higher side so if you are spice sensitive go with mild. To me medium was perfect, but some of the dishes I got spicy and they were still delicious. Their spice also has a depth of flavor so you can actually taste the seasoning on the food and not just the “burn” that spicy food can give. The first time we ordered the gobi Manchurian it was fried a little too long but the flavor was perfect. The second time it was cooked perfectly and flavor was great. I wish it came with more cucumber because it adds a nice bite if you eat it together b

This was the first time we tried Curry and Spice Bar and we will definitely be back. Our waiter was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was modern and clean. We had the vegetarian samosa chaat as an appetizer and then the chicken korma and chicken vindaloo as our main course..... All were excellent. The Indian vibe of the restaurant reminded me of my trips to India, pretty impressive for the middle of Delaware!

This used to be my go to spot. However, over the past year or so, they have been VERY disappointing. The food used to be SO flavorful. It's just a watered down version now, and they have started putting less chicken in their dishes. As I read some other reviews, I see that they have been experimenting with new recipes. Here's some food for thought. If it ain't broke, dont fix it. How you opened is how you got your clientele. There's no logic behind changing the blueprint. Get back to the basics. I would hate to see such a great restaurant fall.

I ordered the chicken biryani and it was delicious! The rice was perfectly cooked, the spices were balanced just right, and full of flavor. Every bite had that authentic aroma and richness you expect from great biryani. Generous portion, fresh ingredients , and truly satisfying. I'll definitely be ordering again!
