Technically, of course, The Curry House is Nepalese – it used to be called Kathmandu – but their weren’t enough restaurants from the mountain nation to merit a category of its own, so it’s lumped in with Indian. To the average punter, the difference between the two cuisines comes down to spice levels (Nepalese can be very hot), and extra focus on lentils and seeds. There are also variations on Chinese favourites.

The glowingly orange interior here is matched by the exotica on the menu. The Himalayan mystical momos is a Nepalese version of dim sum, served with a thick and rich tomato relish, and the bhuteko masu is a braised spiced lamb stew that’s simple and excellent. The Curry House is a bargain – the average main dish costs only Dhs10 and a full meal for two will be little more than Dhs70.

With the reviews mentioned i read couple of days me and my wife had the idea of just visiting this place since there isnt much reviews shown. We went there and i would really that this restaurant is not worth a penny since there are hotels and other small restuarants which offer great food. We ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and my wife was bit interested in chicken sizzler which was the most disappointing thing i could have ever seen and it doesnt even resemble any of the other sizzlers seen in this part of the country before.Ordered Butter Nan sideby and there wasnt any. Over all i would say please not worth to visit this place. Service is too bad. They got to improve on their customer relationship which i thing ofcourse is the first step in attracting the customers which they thoroughly dont deserve as of their current status. I would really recommend Buffet dinner at Airlines Restaurant,Nihal,Arab Udupi to be far better and the prices we pay is worth every penny.Thanks..

We went to experience the novelty of Nepalese food but had a disappointing experience. The starter, spring rolls recommended by the bored waitress, was soggy and served with ketchup! The Nepalese lamb was fatty, on the bone, and had very little meat. It was also lukewarm. The momo were unremarkable dumplings and the wrappers were not homemade. The beauty of a good dumpling is the homemade wrapper. The best item was the Kulcha bread-delicious. Perhaps the Indian dishes are worth the visit, but with so many other cheap, good Indian restaurants in this neighborhood, it's unlikely that we will cross the threshold of this establishment anytime soon.

I have been to the Curry House about 4 times and keep on going back as the food is so tasty and well presented. It is a very quaint little restaurant but it is most certainly value for money and tasty food.
