Curry Bowl - Folsom

The people at Curry Bowl were very friendly and warm; but, the food was as a bit lackluster. I recently visited and had the chicken tikka masala and while I realize that its not terribly uncommon to use chicken leftover from another dish (this happens quite a bit usually due to the fact that many Indian restaurants have a lunch buffet and otherwise food would go to waste, so I get it) my chicken had a distinct aftertaste of very markedly reheated chicken. It was also cubed which is a bit odd in my experience for tikka masala, but not a problem in itself. This was coupled with a tikka masala curry which was surprisingly bland. This is a recipe I make myself at home and I can't imagine how exactly one could make it so bland given the usual ingredients. Fortunately we had a few other dishes which were quite a bit better but the Tikka Masala kind of spoiled my experience with this restaurant and I'm not inclined to return when there are other good options for Indian cuisine not far away.

LOVE this place! Top quality food you can order mild, medium or super spicy (that choice is VERY rare in an Indian restaurant). Chicken tikka masala is fabulous; pakora is perfectly cooked not oily. HUGE MENU of BOTH VEGETARIAN MEAT items! They also do Dosa night Biryani Night . You 'll love it!Vegetarian options: SO MANY VEGETARIAN OPTIONS !! It 's hard to find a restaurant with both vegetarian AND meat options. HUGE MENU.Kid-friendliness: Well behaved children are welcome!Parking: Located in the Safeway shopping center (South end). Many parking places!Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entryway, level floors.Dietary restrictions: They will help you choose items that meet your dietary needs.

I ordered food for lunch on a Friday through DoorDash. We had paneer tikka masala, mixed veg, kulcha, aloo paratha , 2 Idlis and egg biriyani. The Idlis were for my son but they looked stale. The edges were hard and I couldn't give him. The curries especially the paneer tikka masala was salty. Mixed veg was good. The kulchas were good but aloo paratha wasn't fried properly. Egg biriyani was also not good, rice grain was hard. I understand the paratha might have been better at dine in but overall we felt it could have been way better.

This place was terrible. Me and my family (a group of 9) went in there to have lunch and the restaurant was very dirty. The cups were faced up side down on the tables , so we asked for new cups and the new ones were full of dust and so dirty. We ordered our food, and waited over an hour for our food , while they served everybody else that came in after us. Half our order arrived, and the other half we never even received. The server was terrible. Manager came out and started arguing with us about our order and even told us , we were last to get served because we had a big group and everyone else came 1st. Food was cold. Our kids were starving and it was a terrible experience. We left and went to Curry Club 2 mins away and were so Happy and satisfied with our food and SERVICE! We will never be returning to this restaurant!.....Just for your guys information, we were NEVER rude to them. Even after waiting for almost an hour for our food, we still kept calm.. Owner is completely lying in there response and we will never be returning there and we will make sure none of our family or friends go there. Regardless if you feel a customer is being rude, you as a BUSINESS should never be RUDE to your customers!

Worst experience We visited last week during dinner time, it was open, however we have been told that kitchen is really busy and not accepting additional orders. What a disappointment!
