| - I make a habit of visiting Food Network locations, and usually they are just as amazing as the show says...Curry Corner is just 'ok'. I've had Indian/Pakistani food all over the country and this did not stand up to the hype on Food Network. I've been there 3 times and have had the Chicken Tikka (featured), the Tikka Masala, and the Aloo Saag. The Chicken Tikka was great, but the other two were the exact same dishes you'd find at any average Indian restaurant. The food has also been luke-warm every single time, like it had been sitting for about 10 minutes before being brought out. Food-wise this comes nowhere near the really good Indian places I've been...it's not bad, but not great either.
Now onto the service, which is where most of this review score comes from. The customer service is TERRIBLE. Everyone working there acts like they have no idea what's going on, like this is their first time in a restaurant and they don't know how it works. My party of two had to wait for 15 minutes before being seated and there were only 2 other families in there. They gave us literally 10 seconds to look at the menu before very briskly asking for our order, and then looking offended when we said we needed more time. The food took WAY too long (and like I said felt like it had just been sitting), and the check took even longer. We didn't have a consistent waiter, different people kept coming over to us and I really got the impression that they don't have any type of consistent system for waiting on their guests. In general, everyone working there acts like they don't care that you came in and are deciding to spend your money there. It makes me not want to come back. CURRY CORNER: if you are reading this, go hire a consultant to come in and show you how to run a restaurant. You really really need some help with this.
The restaurant itself is shabby and the tables and booths are arranged really awkwardly. It's not particularly clean or festive looking and the fish tank is really really dirty. I could see into the kitchen and that didn't look very clean either. There is no music playing and it makes it way too quiet and awkward in there.
Sadly, I don't agree with Guy Fieri on this one. You can find better food and better service at other Indian spots in Phoenix.
