Curryosity Review

Melody and I had received a coupon for Curryosity to get a "currito" half off with the purchase of another "currito".  So, we decided we should give it a try.  Cheri wasn't quite able to make this trip, but we are planning on going back with her shortly (then I will add her comments).
We arrived at Curryosity and thought it was going to be a quick one kind of curry place, but we were surprised and happy to find that not only do they do multiple ways to serve their curry, they do multiple kinds of curry.  We were met by the Manager Scott, who was very polite and enthusiastic.  He had us try all 9 of their currys so that we could decide on which one we wanted.  The options for their curry originate from Thailand, Bangladesh, West Africa, and Cambodia.  A few are mild, a few are medium and a few are spicy, so literally everyone can find something that they like.  They have a few different options for how to eat your curry, either in a bowl with rice or in what they have called a "currito".  More or less, it is a burrito made out of Naan bread stuffed with chicken, rice, grilled peppers and grilled onions.  Since we had the coupon, we decided to both get the currito, and let me tell you now, we were not disappointed!  I chose to get the Green Chile Curry and Melody got the Peanut Curry.
Green Chile Currito

Peanut Curry Currito
As you can see, these items are very large!  I loved it.  Not only did we get a great lunch, but we also had a some leftover for a snack later or dinner later.  Aside from the size, the flavors were amazing.  The Naan bread was the perfect container for the stuffing and putting the curry on top made it all meld together and each bite was exciting.  The Green Chile was a spicy curry and the spice built upon itself, which I loved.  The Peanut curry had a slight sweet undertone, which Melody and Mahayla both enjoyed.  We also got fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce.  These were incredible.  The spring rolls were a good size and the peanut sauce was amazing.  Melody said that she hadn't had spring rolls like this since she lived in Seattle.  I had never had spring rolls this good ever!  
Now that you have seen what we got and how we liked it, what else about Curryosity?  Well, the whole restaurant was clean and well kept, the staff were very nice and friendly.  We liked that Scott wasn't just standing in the background, but on the front lines talking with people, giving his input and serving us.  The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing.  The tables were clean and stylish.  The music that was playing was usually oldies, which I loved because that's what I grew up on.  Scott would check on us and make sure that everything was great.  I think our only issue with Curryosity was the windows at the front.  Cars that are parked in the parking lot would reflect light into your eyes, which we can't quite say it is the fault of the restaurant, but that was part of the experience.  We would say other than that issue, this was a great experience.  This is a restaurant that is quick, polite, delicious and fun.  It is one of those places that you will go back to constantly.  The prices are really not bad at all.  The currito is about $6 and the bowls of curry start at $7.50, which before 3 PM it is all about $1.50 cheaper.  So, with prices, people and places, this is a place that everyone that even considers curry to be somewhat tasty, go give it a shot.As a side note, we have already gone back with a friend of ours and as we mentioned we are taking Cheri with us.
Thus far, 
Melody has given Curryosity 4.5 Forks out of 5.
I also gave Curryosity 4.5 Forks out of 5.
