1: Indian food is always spicy.
Not true! While many dishes use spices, that doesn’t mean heat. Spices like cumin, coriander, and cardamom enhance aroma and flavor without necessarily being hot. Dishes like dal, korma, or khichdi are mild and comforting. We customize spice levels to suit all palates at CurryNest — whether you love a gentle warmth or a fiery punch.

2: It’s too heavy or greasy.
Traditional Indian cooking uses balanced oils and slow-cooking techniques that actually preserve nutrition. It’s fast food variations that often add unnecessary fats. At CurryNest, we focus on clean, home-style cooking with fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and wholesome grains.

3: It’s only about curry.
India’s culinary landscape spans thousands of dishes. From steamed idlis and lentil soups in the South to smoky kebabs and breads in the North, "curry" is just one aspect. Indian food is vibrant and incredibly regional, and we bring that variety to our menu.

4: It’s not healthy.
Many Indian meals are packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients — thanks to lentils, spices with medicinal properties, and plant-based recipes. Ingredients like turmeric, ginger, garlic, and ghee are time-tested and health-boosting.

5: All Indian food tastes the same.
Nothing could be further from the truth! From Kashmir to Kerala, every state offers unique flavors, techniques, and ingredients. No two spice blends are alike, and even the same dish varies by household and heritage.

So the next time you enjoy a meal at CurryNest, know that you’re tasting a rich and nuanced culinary tradition. Indian food is about harmony — of flavors, textures, and stories passed through generations. Come explore with an open mind and hungry heart. Let's celebrate the truth behind the taste.
