The Curry Leaf

Really good - if you like an interesting and more authentic curry this is the place! Stands out from other restaurants in Lagos for its range of dishes and varied flavours. Appreciated the staff telling us we had ordered enough when we tried to order an additional dish! House wine was also good :)

Absolutely delicious! The service was excellent. Amit was very polite and patient with us because we asked a lot of questions. We ordered some shrimps and cauliflower as appetizers, and we loved it! The shrimps were crunchy and had some coconut on top, which was super delicious. For the main dishes we asked for a lamb (chef's mom recipe) and some shrimps with chickpeas (chef's recipe) and we were satisfied with our choice because you won't taste these dishes in any other Indian restaurant. We definitely recommend this restaurant!

The samosas were excellent, and while the chicken curries were had were great, and the cheese one was tasty, the rabbit curry was exquisite. It was is a delicious sauce and the meat had a lovely texture. The service was excellent, and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere as well. The food also wasn’t too expensive either. Best place we’ve been to all trip.

Fireworks in my mouth. Goosebumps with every bite! If I could lick the plate I would but there were people around. It’s been such a long time I ate at a restaurant I was completely blown away. I tried three different dishes and one more complex and out of this world than the other. The vegetables and shrimp used in the dishes were super fresh. The restaurant is new has a fresh and modern feel and it’s a family run business. One brother is the chef, the other is running the front of the house. Ask him for recommendations. You won’t be disappointed. The spices used in every dish was to give you taste of India from far. Do not leave before you try their homemade ice cream. Sad I don’t live here. But I will definitely come back and will be dreaming of the flavors for sure.

The lamb samosa’s were to die for. My favorite dish! The kebabs were a bit chewy, I wouldn’t order them again I think. Also had sort of a lamb curry with chicken, together with cheese naan bread, and it was absolutely delicious. For desert I had the mango kulfi, which was nice too. All in all a lovely experience, and I will definitely come back for other dishes. The restaurant was full, and the acoustics aren’t great so it gets a bit loud. The staff was super nice.

I must say, this place was truly a breath of fresh air! This was the first place I stopped at when arriving in Lagos so happy I did. The food was flavorful, delicious, and so filling. I ordered a brunch special I also had veggie samosas with tamarind sauce and onion rings — everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was wonderful and attentive. When I noticed there was outside seating, I asked if I could move and they happily accommodated me with no problem. They even gave me take-away boxes without hesitation, which I appreciated. What really stood out to me is how vegan- and vegetarian-friendly the menu is. I had no trouble finding plenty of yummy options to try. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Really good place for dinner during our exploration of Lagos. We had a variety of lamb, chicken, and veggie curries. Delicious. Really enjoyed their naan style, I could have eaten that alone. Gin and tonics were fine, house vino tinto paired really well with our meal. Would love to come back.

A wonderful Indian restaurant run by Chef Rajeev The atmosphere was very nice, clean and felt inviting with lots of happy chatter from patrons enjoying their food. The lamb samosas were extremely tasty, with a nice crisp exterior and packed full of flavour. For our main course we opted for the Chicken Biryani with rice and the chef signature Lamb curry which was fantastic and loaded with spice and exploded with taste (top notch). The sauce was to fie for. The chicken biryani was very good with large pieces of tender chicken. You may consider ordering more rice to ensure you leave no trace of sauce behind We had the garlic Naan which complimented everything and also ensure we could soak up any leftover sauces. Mmmmm
