I haven’t been there since writing this review, actually, but thanks for the heads up.

On the NBC news tonight, they mentioned that this particular restaurant (Naan n Curry on Van Ness) had the lowest health inspection score of any place in San Francisco. They scored in the 40′s out of 100. I would recommend staying as far away from this place as possible.

Lawrence, sorry to hear about your food poisoning and very poor experience. My experience was nowhere near that bad, and at the time I went, it was actually better than other N+C’s — so either you were unlucky, or there has been some sort of systematic decline. At any rate, sorry for your bad experience, and thanks for writing in.

I agree with the reviewer on only one thing: the service was unacceptably slow.

Other than that, this is far and away the worst Indian food I’ve ever eaten in my life, and the worst I’ve ever had at a Naan ‘n Curry (I’ve been to several, many times).

My wife and I got food poisioning from the place (we didn’t even eat the same thing!), and the chai tasted like someone poured the contents of an ashtray into the chai pot. Maybe someone did pour the contents of an ashtray into the pot.

Avoid this place like the plague, if you care about your health.

i just moved back to sf after a five-year absence. i have eaten at the naan + curry on vanness@turk 4 times in three weeks and i think it’s great for the price. the curries could use a bit more meat but other than that you can’t beat it for the amount you pay.

That huge barn on the corner has been a strange, doomed restaurant location since Jeremiah Tower opened up Speedo 690 there oh so many years ago. Though I have heard from others besides you that the “Naan ‘n Curry” chain are subpar compared to other Indian joints in the Bay Area, it’s still a great addition to a neighborhood with not enough inexpensive eateries.

And thanks for stopping by “Civic Center.”

Now that’s catering to your clientele. I approve.

I am a little dismayed about the chain-like nature of Naan and Curry. At some locations, the naan is a bit too charred at the edges and their food is a little salty for my tastes.

I completely agree, on all counts. I have to say, if they keep opening additional branches, my patience will wear thin, and I will probably just ignore them altogether.

Gosh, you are so kind to cater your posts around your visitors! Lots of people chance upon my blog with some strange search terms, and I just chortle at their misfortune!

Part of what turns me off about Indian food is its richness. Every time I order one of those curry’s I know what to expect…some rice and a bowl of chicken, lamb or whatever in an oily or creamy sauce.
