Crowd-pleasing North Indian staples with standout butter chicken and strong catering chops; solid value but service speed and occasional operational hiccups can frustrate.
Curry Bae delivers solid neighborhood Indian dining with strong food quality anchored by standout butter chicken and naans, plus warm, welcoming service. However, inconsistent execution and notably slow service prevent grade A-level performance. The pleasant Kew-side location and reliable catering reputation support a grade B standing, though operational roughness keeps it from competing with the area's premier dining destinations.
A neighborhood Indian spot near Kew Gardens where the mood feels warm and casual and staff are often described as friendly and welcoming. Diners call out the butter chicken and naans with affection, while some nights can run slow and a few operational rough edges show. The cooking leans classic rather than showy, a comfort-first approach with North Indian favorites and a good spread of vegetarian and seafood mains. Think creamy masalas, slow-cooked lamb, and tandoori platters over avant‑garde flourishes; it suits those craving familiar, satisfying flavors more than thrill-seekers. Families fare well here thanks to mild curries and pillowy naan. Kids can stick to korma, butter chicken, rice, and breads; spice can be dialed up or down. There is no explicit kids menu, but the menu has ample gentle options, making it a safe bet for cautious eaters.
