Curry Leaves

New experience in July 2024:

After my initial visit, I decided to give Curry Leaves Poznań another chance, and I’m glad I did. This time, the experience was impeccable from start to finish, and I’m pleased to give this restaurant the 5 stars it deserves.

Curry Leaves has made significant improvements to its menu. The layout is now clearer and easier to navigate, which makes selecting your dishes straightforward and stress-free.

I ordered one lemon rice, one chickpea curry, and one plain roti. The lemon rice was a generous portion, easily enough for two people, and was perfectly cooked with a delightful tangy flavour. The chickpea curry was rich, aromatic, and packed with flavour, providing a satisfying and hearty meal. The plain roti was soft and well-cooked, complementing the curry wonderfully.

The staff delivered my order accurately and promptly. The attention to detail and customer satisfaction was evident, making this visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Overall, Curry Leaves Poznań has significantly improved its service and food quality. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious and authentic Indian meal in Poznań.

I paid 57 PLN (about 11 GBP) for one main with two sides.

Previous experience in March/April 2023:

We were excited to try such a highly-rated Indian food place during our recent visit to Poznań that we specifically travelled to the shopping mall just to dine here.

While this first point is not food or service-related, it is important. We struggled to find the location of this food venue. As we were unfamiliar with the shopping mall layout, and there were no helpful maps, we found this to be a stressful start to our dinner experience.

When we eventually found the food court („Food Fyrtel”), we quickly grabbed a table and placed an order. Our order consisted of purely vegetarian dishes (no meat or fish). For those who need to know, the Food Frytel is on the ground floor of the shopping mall, by one of the entrances.

When our order was ready, I went up and collected it. We were disappointed to see that the staff had served us a tandoori chicken starter instead of what we actually ordered, which was the tandoori paneer. This was quite a serious mistake to make, as no-one in my party eats meat and we could have inadvertently done so if we hadn’t paid attention.

When I took the chicken starter back to the staff to return it, they looked disappointed with themselves. This showed that they care about mistakes. I was told that the replacement tandoori paneer would be ready in about 5 minutes.

While we waited, I checked the menu again and noticed that they do serve rice (plain or lemon). I didn’t notice this at the beginning because the menu layout and contents are not easy to process.

About 10 to 15 minutes later, the tandoori paneer starter was finally ready. But our party was already full from the mains and sides that we’d ordered. Helpfully, the staff provided sufficient takeaway bags and containers to take the food home.

The tandoori paneer was disappointingly bland. The dal tadka was commented on as being nice but the roti was overcooked. The vegetable guntur was super spicy, so don’t order this unless you know you can handle it. The mango lassi drinks are filling so pair it with only one main.

Total cost was about 133 PLN for 1x starter, 1x main with naan bread and 1x main with roti, and 2x drinks.

I would like to revisit this place to potentially give it a higher rating in future.

I’ve visited curry leaves at other locations and this one is hands down the best one in Poland. The flavor of the food is unmatched. The service is outstanding they’re always so kind and they start to recognize you and your order hahaha. Best Indian food I’ve had while in Poland.
