Review Curry Original - Kingston

We celebrated the Father's Day yesterday. Food was amazing, best naan we have ever had. Spice level was perfect. Authentic cuisine. Recommend highly to visit this restaurant. Thanks to all Servers including Manager for their great customer service.

I feel a greater effort could be placed into the appearance and cleanliness of the restaurant. The food was average. Mushrooms were delicious but the chicken was sweet.

Thank you for the amazing service. We ordered mix vegetable curry, roti, dal and rice. Balanced spices, right quantity and comforting food. I felt like I'm eating homemade food. Senior Management is willing to take constructive feedback, I appreciate that. Thank you to the chef and Pranab for the amazing chat.

ALERT!!! Read before u visit... don't be fooled by the reviews... Original??? Come on needs a name change for sure.. may be Curry duplicate.. worst food I have had ever.. Yellow color power everywhere. All Rice pulavs + biryanis + gravies was colored and with just salt... no other spices or taste or flavor.. Ask for spicy u will get a cup of chilli powder added in there.. Curry quantity is way too less. Owner gives suggestions to order more curries as a sales tactics.. Too costly!!! Not even worth any money!!

Indian food is blend of spices,but this was nothing close to it! It was bland and had absolutely no flavor to it. It was expensive and not worth it, it also took alot of waiting! It was just some turmeric rice and when we asked for spicy they mixed it with chilly powder, The gravies were also mixed with turmeric powder and chilli powder, it had no flavor at all. Our hands were stained because of the turmeric powder. We were very disappointed with this experience!!!

We visited the hotel with large group of people and with small kids. When we asked for table inside they told table was reserved. So we took patio, but we had a uninvited guest as cat and it came and seated in one of the chair where we had kids and kids were frightened. Coming to food, We ordered Naan, gravy and chicken briyani, naan was not cooked properly and when we asked for replacement for naan, waiter said no oven is repair, so we cannot give replacement naan. if the tandoori stove is repair then I don't know how will they serve food for upcoming guest who had table reserved🤔 Coming to briyani, it was just rice mixed in chicken with food color and salt, if you know what a briyani is then definitely I wouldn't recommend this. Gravy, Lamb vindaloo is just cooked with red chilli no other taste I can feel. Friends ordered pulav, is just mixed of food color with basmati rice, which didn't had jeera even. Only food that was good is tandoori chicken. Rest all the food which we ordered was really bad. Quantity of gravies is also too less and that didn't had much taste even, also price is too high.

I tried Shrimp Madras. Chef thought it is just chilli and shrimp. Taste is very worst. Dont try that.

We just moved to Kingston and we’re looking for some good Indian food. We did not find it here. Despite the bad reviews we gave it a shot and were so disappointed. The Aloo Gobi was a salt bomb and the Samosas were greasy and had no Indian spice!! We ordered garlic naan but found no garlic. Time to try the next restaurant!

We felt the waiter thought he was a cut above serving us and at one time asked if we wanted anything else from behind my partner! Obviously he didn't know what was being said behind his back! I was disappointed in the food which was not spicy enough for me nor was the sauce thick enough. I am so used to the waiter asking me how spicy would I like my food that I completely forgot to mention it! Very sorry that we didn't enjoy our meal as we were really looking forward to a very good Indian meal.

Very tasty ,,, good portion ,,,,excellent service ,,,,everybody very polite I highly recommend this restaurant

My favourite restaurant. I love indian food amd this place has never let us down. Delicious food. Fast and friendly service and a gorgeous dining area

Ali and his family has been serving sumptuous Indian food in Kingston over 30 years. It has always been one of my favourite curry house (my other one was in London England). The food and services never disappoints. It's worth the drive from Toronto!

Great flavor. Nice atmosphere. Been to a bunch of Indian places in mississauaga and brampton. This place in on par.

Imagine being transported to an unforgettable culinary experience through a rich tapestry of smells, flavour and colour. Now imagine the polar opposite and you will have arrived at Curry Original. Never has there been a greater oxymoron in a restaurant name. Our dishes, although edible (they were cooked well), bore no resemblance to any Indian or Pakistani dish I’ve ever eaten, and was most certainly absent of curry. Our tandoor inspired butter chicken was white. I mean cream of mushroom soup white - containing none of the tomato or garam masala that you might expect. The basmati was definitely not. Rather, we had flavourless short grain rice. It was nice and fluffy though - a bit like Uncle Bens. If you’re looking for a heavily sanitized version of Indian classics, this is a good place to start. If you’d like to expand your palette, I don’t know of others in the Kingston area, but open to recommendations. I only wish I shared the experience that so many others seemed to enjoy.

Always excellent. The vindaloo is better than anything I've had in Toronto, and the lamb curry is great for those with a heat aversion. Been going for years, and will continue.

It's been our special "go to" for 18 years and the quality has not changed one iota since! Highly recommend it to everyone!

I like the garlic naan better then normal naan I also like chicken tikka curry original it is best top restaurant in Kingston food are great and tasty all people can enjoy them

Love this place! Best consistent service every time and fabulous food.

Just had dinner here and have to say that I was impressed with the food and service which was quick and efficient. Food was sumptuous and flavourful. Definitely recommended!!!!!

Tucked in near Confederation Hotel was this jewel of Kingston. I'm so happy we found it. One meal wasn't enough there. Wish we had more time in Kingston to return there. I'm tempted to stop there every time we head to Ottawa. Fabulous food. Gracious staff. Cute restaurant.

What beautiful staff and owner they are extremely generous and active in the community. Was here for taste for life with Hars and they were outstanding. Highly recommend.

Excelent food, very friendly service. Always good when the owner drops by your table to chat. Butter chicken was beyond belief.

We loved our evening! The atmosphere was wonderful and romantic . The service was great and the food EXCEPTIONAL!

Fabulous food, very attentive service.....never been disappointed and has been a favorite for about 35 years!!
