A popular Great Mall Indian restaurant with broad regional coverage, flavorful curries, biryanis, naan, and dosas, though pricing and occasional service or consistency issues warrant realistic expectations.
Naans & Curries delivers solid food quality across curries, biryanis, and tandoor items, supported by fast, welcoming service that keeps diners satisfied. Inconsistency in execution, particularly with paneer and biryani dishes, prevents a stronger grade, while the casual mall setting offers convenience rather than destination appeal. Strong value through combos and repeat-visit loyalty suggest reliable casual dining, though occasional service lapses during peak hours temper the overall experience.
Inside Great Mall, Naans & Curries is a bright, casual, unusually convenient stop for Indian food during a shopping trip. Reviews commonly describe a clean, relaxed room and friendly, fast staff; one representative impression is that it feels like “a warm, homemade meal after a long day of shopping.” The mall setting is practical rather than romantic, but the seating is comfortable enough for families and casual dinners. The kitchen covers a lot of ground: creamy butter chicken, lamb and goat curries, biryanis, tandoor breads, crisp dosas, chaats, and a particularly well-liked jackfruit biryani. The cooking is traditional at heart but broad in format, with Indo-Chinese appetizers, rolls, and several fusion-adjacent combinations. Most diners praise flavor and generous portions, while a minority report dry paneer, unclear biryani preparations, excess oil, or prices that feel steep when dishes are ordered separately. This is a good family choice, especially for children who will eat naan, rice, mild curry, samosa, dosa, idli, or chicken. Reviews specifically mention children enjoying the food, and the kitchen appears willing to adjust heat, though several diners found the default spice level hotter than expected. Order a combo or share dishes for better value, and clarify spice and preparation details if anyone in the group is cautious.
