Curry Gate

Curry Gate is the North Indian and Nepali restaurant with locations on South Boulevard near Tyvola Road and on West 24th Street north of Uptown. The South Boulevard original is the sit down room, and the 24th Street location leans toward takeout for a neighborhood with few Indian options. Momo dumplings and gobi manchurian sit alongside the curries, and regulars who claim not to like curry keep coming back. Both kitchens cook to the same standard. Free parking sits outside both locations, and neither room is fussy about how long you linger over a meal.
