Dear Mr. Jackson:

We’ve been eating at World Curry for years and ate there today. Being curry lovers, we often order it when we eat at “authentic” Thai or Indian restaurants. Your versions of the classic Thai and Indian curries are usually as good or better, though your portions are much larger and cost less. It’s great to be able to go to one restaurant and have the best curries from around the world.

Today, we had the Mussaman Curry (Thai) and the Tikka Masala Curry (Indian). We ordered both “Really Hot” and with chicken. I’ve had many curries at World Curry and the Mussaman is my current favorite. It has a bright, slightly sweet and almost fruity flavor. The coconut milk in the Mussaman softens the heat from the chilies and gives it a creamy richness. The sliced red and green peppers in the Mussaman still had a good crunch. I especially appreciated that because many Thai restaurants overcook vegetables in their curries, often cooking them until they are mushy.

The Tikka Masala was a thick, smoky and savory curry. Though the heat from the chilies was present, the flavor was balanced and I could taste the many herbs and spices in the Masala. The dark meat chicken was very tender but I was content to sop up the curry with some of the Garlic Naan Bread we ordered.

All of the curries we’ve tried have been thoughtful and good. The fact that many items on your menu can be individually tailored to your customers’ tastes makes the food you serve very accessible. We like that we have the option of ordering curries that traditionally are served with meat as vegetarian dishes. For those who don’t eat white rice, it’s also nice to be able to order brown rice with all of your curries.

Your Thai curries are all great. The Panang (red curry with coconut milk) is always good and is one of my favorites, as is the Green Thai Curry. We’ve also had the Keema Curry (Indian curry with minced chicken, tomatoes, peas and cilantro) and liked it very much as well. The peas and cilantro give it a fresh, savory flavor.

The smell in the air at World Curry gets us ready for a great plate of curry. We are never hungry for too long, though, because side dishes and complementary salad are delivered with our drinks. We normally order the Thai Iced Coffee or Thai Iced Tea but it’s also nice to have beer from good local breweries (Karl Strauss and Ballast Point) on tap. The curry usually arrives before we’ve finished our freshly baked Naan Bread. Your portions are substantial (we always have leftovers, even when ordering a “Regular” curry) and your prices are reasonable (“Regular” curries range from $7.29 to $7.99 and the “Large” curries from $9.49 to $9.99).

It’s clear to us that you are passionate about your food, which we can taste in all your dishes. Your food’s even worth parking in Pacific Beach.

Yours Very Truly,

San Diego Restaurant Review
