I've been waiting a LONG time for an Indian restaurant to finally open in my area--and suddenly we have 4 of them! Tasty Curry is by far my favorite. I was probably one of their first customers. I've introduced friends and family to the place ever since. Yes, the restaurant is small and basically decorated--but I hate funding fancy decor via the price of the food anyway. I think the portions are huge--I always have leftovers that feed me for two days afterward. I've loved every dish I've had there but my favorite is the lamb curry, chickpeas & spinach and rice with a side of sesame naan and mango chutney. My idea of heaven. I phone in my order, pick it up 10 mins later on my way to work. The staff has always always been sweet and wonderful, friendly and welcoming. Yes, you do set up your own table but other ethnic restaurants do this too and it's not a hardship for the diner (you don't have to wash up afterward), makes it feel like home. They even had the tv tuned to the soccer playoffs recently. I've never been to India so I can't say if the food tastes authentic; I do know that it is superior to the Indian food I ate in NYC and to all other Indian restaurants I've been to in San Francisco. Only when Tasty Curry is too crowded do I surrender to one of the other Indian restaurants in the neigbhborhood (and one of them is only 1/2 block from my house) and I try to go only during off-hours when the UCMed crowds are not out feeding. They're also open until midnight so I can pick up food afer work (I work until 10pm). I am so glad they came into my life.
Pros: Food is delicious, prices are reasonable, food is delicious
Cons: Can be crowded during UCMed meal breaks, not open 24 hours a day
