Gandhi Mahal

My friends and I all felt the food was great! Had more depth of flavor than most Indian restaurants in the Twin Cities and more spicy. Also nice extra touches like a lime wedge and chopped fresh red onion on my Chana Saag. My friends had the coconut curry chicken (YUM) and lamb Rogan Josh, and we had the pikayu and samosa for appetizers. Their green chutney is fantastic. Only thing I didn't care for was the finishing salt on the appetizers, made them way too salty for my taste. They do curry bowls which are a good deal and you can also order just curry (no rice) in two different sizes. They seem to do a lot of takeout business and I can see why, but the interior of the restaurant and the patio outside are both very nice for dining in. Service was great and the food came quickly. Definitely recommend, I will be returning and also ordering takeout from here! I want to try their mango lassi next time, we were going out for dessert so I skipped it this time. They are a no tipping establishment and charge a %15 fee. This is transparent on the menu. I'd prefer it just be included in the price of the food, but appreciate that it's specified. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table.

Came back to try it under the new management. The food was delicious! It was the best Palak Paneer I have had in the Twin Cities. We also had Dal and Chicken Tikka Masala, and both were well-seasoned and delicious. The chicken was tender and the portions were large. Naan was fresh and not tough at all. We live nearby, so we get takeaway, which was ready in fifteen minutes from ordering. We are looking forward to being regular customers here again!

We have been getting takeout somewhere between monthly and weekly from Curry in a Hurry since it opened in 2021. We usually order the Chicken Biryani and the Rogan Josh, and it's 2.5-3 meals for each of us! And so so flavorful! I'm no expert on Indian/Bangladeshi food, but to me it's outstanding. The only mistake we made was once ordering the Vindaloo. We love hot food, but that was too much. Probably just what some people are looking for! The food is ALWAYS ready when I get there, and the staff are warm and friendly. Curry in a Hurry is a Minneapolis treasure, just as its predecessor Gandhi Mahal was. We miss the tandoor items but hopeful they will be back sometime!

I wanted to update my review by saying that this is the best spot to get curry in Minnesota, not only because of the flavor, quality and generous portions but it can be difficult to find halal food in the twin cities so I'm so grateful we have Curry in a Hurry within delivery range of our home, it is worth every penny 🥰 The Hot spice level is super spicy, it makes my husband and I sweat and we consider ourselves to have a high spice tolerance! I love every bit of it and will continue to be a loyal customer. Thank you so much for your hospitality and exceptional culinary skills! We love you!

We saw the tik tok, and we came! The food was top tier and the service was friendly and helpful. Greeted by the TikTok creator herself! She walked us through the menu and specials. We settled on the plantain pakoras with three sauces - tamarind, mint, onion chutney-all next level, Tikka masala with its nice balance of heat and spices, tandoori wings, masala fries, and a delicious pistachio lassi! We purposefully chose many items to try. We will definitely be returning often!! 🔥💕

Updated 12/2025: this new generation knows what they’re doing!! I’ve been coming here for years, and this has been my favorite chapter to date. The flavors are bolder, the spice has been watched up a notch, and everything just has a little ~something~ extra. I’ve been loving all the new menu items, as well as the classics - everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to work my way down the list. Curry in a hurry will stay on heavy rotation for me! Old review: Everyone is always so friendly! I try and stop in on a weekly basis, especially in the summer when I can enjoy the patio ♥️ such a wonderful neighborhood establishment. Love the lamb korma and the chicken makhni!

I was relieved to be able to get curry just up the street again. The new menu had curry heat options so I ordered hot, just as I would most anywhere else. I picked up the meal and learned that they were doing a tiktok reaction (challenge?) for those willing to order hot or extra hot curry. While I don't use tiktok personally, I wanted to write a review about the actual experience of eating the hot option for my mango chicken curry. I consider my spice tolerance to be fair so I was interested to see exactly why they were asking for reaction videos. My first bite was without any rice and I could tell immediately that the heat level was much higher than I was expecting. Certainly not melt my face off spicy, but it took maybe one minute before I began to sweat, a few minutes before I had some tears welling up in my eyes, and by the time I was finished with half the portion (got full, it was a hefty portion!), my sinuses were cleared up. This heat level was intense but manageable, and high enough to make the pain from the experience mildly euphoric. Note: I ordered hot, and there is a level above this. Knowing what I know now, I will probably order medium unless I have a bad head cold or a case of the Sunday scaries requiring medicinal capsaicin levels. The food was flavorful and hit the spot. Very glad it's open again! Excited to try the other offerings.

This is currently my favorite Indian restaurant in and around Minneapolis because of the flavors of the food. They utilize wonderful techniques with quality ingredients. The spices are so fresh and abundant that it's a real delight. We tried the lassi, huge samosas, biryani, curry, and dal. I hope to return soon and try more because I expect everything to be incredibly delicious here. They have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. They use environmentally friendly containers and bags. I can't recommend this place enough.

Delicious food, friendly staff, highly recommend! As a vegetarian, it is so lovely to have SO MANY choices. Also they have some different, creative offerings. It was around St. Patrick's Day and so they served a fresh mint lassi, which was delicious. Also the serving sizes were generous. I will definitely come back!

Wow, incredible! Ive tried every Indian restaurant you could think of in the twin cities area and the food here is the best ive had. Very authentic taste and spice. I usually get hot every other place and it's not hot enough but here the medium is plenty hot for spice level. The girl working was super amazing.
