Kumari Restaurant

I love coming here for Indian food. Nestled in south side marketplace but still low key.
The food is bussing lol
Decided to try something new today and get Lamb Pasanda, and it did not disappoint. It was fantastic!
The Keema Naan is not my favorite but it's not too bad. I'm just used to only getting garlic Naan.

It gets busy during lunch buffet so come check them out during dinner

The food is always good and some days they have spicy shrimp. It's super spicy so proceed with caution. The fried fish is amazing and the chicken Marsala is good also. Before Covid the buffet use to be 10.60 now it about 17.00 but it's definitely still worth going. They also use to let you take extra and tea but not it's for sit ins. They keep the hot nan coming. The servers are nice and patient. The place is quiet but can get busy around lunch. In the cut and you can park in the front no need to walk far.

One of the better Indian restaurants in the area. While i have never sat in to dine, I have almost solely ordered takeout from them. Garlic naan absolute must, then I will flip a coin for the butter chicken or lamb rogan josh with the spice being nearing regretful but that's the fun in it. Chicken does occasionally come dry but sometimes that's what happens. Lamb is usually really tender and they give big portions of lamb. Still will order online for the future. And the spice level usually is within what i ask for.

Visited Kumari on a Friday night for dinner with my mom. It was quiet and peaceful inside. The seating area isn't large inside but comfortable as we were the only table for a bit. Our server/host was very friendly and took care of us.

As far as the food, I truly expected more especially based on previous reviews of the restaurant. We started off with the veggie pakoras which were good. For the mains, I order the chicken curry which did not taste like any curry dishes I've had before. It seemed to lack spice which was very surprising for me. My mom ordered the chicken kahari and she was not a fan either. Maybe it was an off night but we will probably stick to our fave Indian food spot out in Glen Burnie.

This food was terrible - we ordered from Door Dash and it was honestly so bad we couldn't eat it. The chicken tikka masala was so sweet it was inedible. It was also dyed red and looked gross. The cream sauce was extremely thin. Chicken portion was also very small compared with other restaurants. The lamb vindaloo had lots of stems and seeds in it that should've been strained out. Lamb was very tough. Finally, the garlic naan was stale and flavorless. We threw it all out.

I used to eat here often when I worked in the neighborhood. Maybe ownership changed but this is truly disgusting.

Love this place, solid food, legit spice and friendly staff. We order here once a week. Saag Paneer and Tandori Chicken always slap. Love having this place in South Baltimore.

This is a hidden gem in the area! We came in on a Monday evening and it was very quiet with a nice atmosphere. The service was fast and the food was delicious. Every person at the table loved what they got, and there were options to make dishes more or less spicy depending on preference. Highly recommend!

Delicious food and wonderful service. Went on a Saturday around 7 as well! I got the samosas and chicken tikka masala. 10/10!

This is a great neighborhood find. I live across the street from the shopping center but knew about this place when I moved to the area. Pre-Covid I used to go here for their lunch buffet. They had a lot of buffet selections and the price for the buffet was reasonable. But now with Covid, they no longer have their buffet.
I still like dining in for lunch with my significant other. This is our go to place in the area for lunch. We always get a good meal and the restaurant is generally quiet.

My favorite dishes are the dal soup, garlic naan, chicken vindaloo and Chana masala. They make the dishes as spicy or as mild as your taste buds can take.
I like the service. I don't know the server's name but he is always very nice and attentive.

I seem to have long ago fond memories of this place, but maybe I am mistaken. The last couple times I went it was pretty bad. The chicken tikka masala was terrible - the meat was dry as a bone despite all the sauce. And the sauce had very little flavor. Even the naan was bad, it was way too thick. The lamb korma I got on another occasion was also bad, as the lamb was low quality and tough, although the sauce was good. The naan was bad in this case also.

I am now on the lookout for another Indian restaurant in the neighborhood.
