Curry Point, nestled in Nanaimo, BC, stands out as a gem in the local Indian culinary scene. Frequent patrons rave about the heartfelt hospitality provided by the family-run establishment, emphasizing that dining here feels like enjoying a homemade meal.

Other reviewer is correct, try here once and you'll become regular. Curry watery dishes take time to cook and hard to handle as opposed to deep fry fast foods but here the items are pre-cooked like buffet, you can see and order, and the mall gives you an eating area. You'll get the taste of a home cooked meal. Well done, Well run.

Shak makes the best Indian cuisine in town and offers incredible quality at a very reasonable cost. To our surprise they don’t even accept tips at the counter. Absolutely loved the chicken soup which was delicious and hot with lots of flavour of ginger, garlic and other spices. Too good, gonna keep coming back!!!

I love this family and their food! The food is always made with so much! We met them through having Curry Point a couple of times, and it's all my partner and I craved when we were sick and we got better! Such a lovely place with 7 vegan dishes options. They're so kind, lovely and generous. The food is REALLY good. I love the lentils, the spicy potatoes, the Chana Masala and the eggplant is good too! The service is amazing

This is a must try if you haven’t. The flavor is on par or better than anywhere else on the city. Generous servings and excellent service. Eating here is also supporting a family business. That’s a combination of great food and good karma.

August 03, 2021, Update: My weekly, sometimes daily pit stops at Curry Point in Nanaimo ... continues to be a delight for me and this family business continues to be my #1 choice for Indian Cuisine. My strong #1 addiction is their Butter Chicken dish, but I have had it all and there is nothing on the menu that I don't love. Curry Point is my #1 choice for fine dining take out period. I stated by being a several times per week customer and Google now says I've had got 250,000 total views of my photos for Currie Point which surprises me to be honest! There is a new colour scheme here, but the food is still off the chain GOOD and I have sampled everything on the menu. As I said before...there is NOT one single Curry Point dish that I have did not loved. This was the easiest 5-stars review I ever gave... well done!

This place is awesome. Such friendly service..incredible value , generous portions and phenomenal taste. This is my favourite spot in nanaimo. Also the mall is cute and clean and a nice place to chill shop and have some food. They even have board game nights. The burger place next store I think may also be a hidden gem based on all the food delivery guys there. The curry pricing is spot on!!! 10.50 for a huge portion plus Naan including tax?! Amazing

Don't pass this place up like I did in the past! Today I decided to give it a try after seeing how popular it was with meals starting from 8.25 and up. In the past I didn't like Indian food but places like this is changing that. Today I ordered the 2 meat combo 10.99. It comes with rice, naan and choice of 2 meat items. The lady was very nice and let me sample before picking my meat items. I went with curry beef and a chicken item I never tried. Both mixed well with the rice and made a wet rice meal. The naan was great addition too. The service was great and mostly the price and value you get here is amazing. I see myself returning back and trying out more of the menu.
