The Art of Getting Curried Away

The Art of Getting Curried Away

Hello friends. Today we are going to talk about the Art of Getting Curried Away. This is a mantra that we like to apply to everything we do. Of course, it is a play on words from the term Get Carried Away. People may look at the term Get Carried Away as going overboard or taking things too far. Here at Curried Restaurants, we look at it as going above and beyond what you would normally do. Taking everyday things to the next level. Our concept alone has taken Indian Food to the next level. We have revolutionized the way that people eat Indian food. Indian food is generally very pricey and more often than not, eaten at a sit down restaurant. Team Curried decided that we wanted to feed people as quick as possible, as reasonably priced as possible while still maintaining quality delish Indian food. We got curried away and accomplished what we set out to do.

We got curried away and built a super cool food truck aka the Curried Mobile. We got curried away and just expanded by adding a new location in Lakeview at 3227 N. Clark (Clark and Belmont). We got curried away and started up a catering department. We got curried away and had the first ever samosa eating contest. We got curried away and introduced Indian pizza to Chicago.

We got curried away and redesigned our website (http://www.curried.com). We got curried away and joined every social media site so that we could engage our friends aka customers from every possible angle. We got curried away and started the Curried Club, an email subscription club that provides coupons, deals and specials. Team Curried plans on continuing to Get Curried Away in everything that we do. We hope that you will Get Curried Away in your everyday life and take things to the next level.

Get Curried Away all day everyday!!!

If you have yet to join our Curried Club for deals, specials and a free meal on your birthday day then you should do so now….http://curried.com/Curriedclub/Default.aspx

Samosa King of the World

Posted on February 29, 2012 by admin

Samosa King of the World

frank the tank samosa king of the world get curried away restaurant chicago

Curried Restaurant’s first annual samosa eating contest was a great success. We had six contestants that all came to win and most of all had a great time. This contest was so much fun on so many levels. It was definitely a sight to be seen and since we recorded the entire contest in HD video, it will be a sight that you can see too. To refresh your memory or if you have not read the blog regarding what the contest was, we will cover some of the details. We hosted a samosa eating contest and wanted to see who could eat the most samosas in five minutes. As many of you know, samosas are very filling as they are dough stuffed with potatoes and other veggies. We did not know what to expect in terms of how many samosas one human could devour in such a short period of time.

contest in chicago curried restaurant

As it turns out, our winner Frank “The Tank” was able to demolish fifteen, yes fifteen samosas in just five minutes. It was absolutely amazing and he blew away the rest of the field. Second place ate nine samosas and we had a three way tie for third place as each of them ate eight samosas. We gave each of our contestants a choice of chutney as well as their choice of non-alchoholic beverage to help wash down the delicious samosas. In the end, our champion whom we will refer to as the Samosa King of the World was basically swallowing these things whole and ate one every twenty seconds.

Again, the entire contest was recorded in HD and will be available for your viewing pleasure soon enough. We plan on having similar exciting food eating contests in the future and would love for each of you to participate in or spectate. At Curried we pride ourselves on interaction and engagement with our customers. Be on the lookout for events and contests in Chicago and join in on the Getting Curried Away fun!

The Impossible is Possible

Posted on February 15, 2012 by admin

The Impossible is Possible

The impossible is definitely more than possible when you try to achieve great things and Team Curried just did that. We have added some amazing new options to our menu. At Curried, while we maintain our authentic roots we are always thinking outside of the box. We wanted to add some dishes to our menu and wanted them to make a huge splash of flavor in your mouth.

Mac n Cheese

With the mac-n-cheese craze in full effect, we decided to take an Indian spin on this traditionally American dish. The results are absolutely delectable and delicious. This Indian fusion dish is one that you will absolutely want to try on your next visit to Curried Restaurant in Chicago. We have the perfect combination of Tandoori chicken bites, Paneer, fresh spinach, mozzarella/provolone cheese blend and flavored with an assortment of Indian spices. This Indian mac-n-cheese has revolutionized mac-n-cheese and taken flavorful to a whole new level.

Samosa Pizza

Next, Curried restaurant is proud to introduce our Samosa Pizza. Yes, say it again out loud, Samosa Pizza. We love and pride ourselves on innovation and flavor here at Curried. We nailed both with this Indian pizza that is basically addicting and is flying out of the oven on to customers plates. To break it down for you, it is crushed samosas on a thin crust pizza dough with a tikka and cilantro sauce then topped a mozzarella/provolone cheese blend. Need we say more about this pizza? Did not think so, now that your mouth is watering head on over.

Finally, we introduce the Kati Roll and it too is amazingly delicious. We have two versions of  Kati Rolls and both are wrapped in a delicious flaky Indian flat-bread known as Paratha. We have a Chicken Tikka Kati Roll and a Paneer Tikka Kati Roll. They both come with your choice of 8 different flavorful sauces. Let the Kati Roll take your taste buds on a new Curried adventure.
See all of you Indian Food lovers soon.

2012 yes 2012

Posted on January 10, 2012 by admin

2012 yes 2012!!!

Happy New Year everyone. 2012 is finally here and it seems like it was just yesterday we were partying like it was 1999 as Prince would say! This is the time of year when the health clubs are packed, health foods are consumed and fresh starts run rampant with optimism. When writing down the date it feels so weird to 2012 as opposed to 2011 and becomes a common mistake. Winter breaks are over and vacationers are back home with memories of exotic beaches and warm weather. Others are happy to have spent time with family and friends. Schools and companies are back in full effect ready to take on 2012 head first. At Curried Indian Food Restaurant we are super excited to look this new year right in the eye and take it head on. We have a lot of goals to conquer and mouths to feed.

Our new location is at 3227 N. Clark in Lakeview is almost ready to be opened. Our Curried Mobile Food Truck is rocking and rolling the streets of Chicago serving delicious curry plates. The Wells location in the Loop at 171 N. Wells has a loyal following that we are looking to continue to expand and fill up stomachs with Indian food. We are adding Kati Rolls filled with Chicken and Veggies to the menu. Also, we are close to perfecting our Indian chicken wing which will be on the menu soon. We hope to continue to grow and spread the curry love across the Chicagoland area one curry plate at a time. 2012 will be a great year for us and we look forward to sharing a positive year with our CURRIED FRIENDS!

Holiday CHEER!!!

Posted on December 22, 2011 by admin

Holiday CHEER!!!

Get Curried Away

The Holidays are in full effect this week and the Holiday cheer is running wild. The Christmas lights, Christmas trees and Menorahs are lit up everywhere you look. The streets of Michigan avenue and the malls are packed with shoppers. The mall Santa’s are taking wishes from kids and even some adults as you can hear them HO HO HO-ing throughout the mall. You can not go anywhere without hearing Holiday music so its hard to forget what time of year it is.

This is the time of year where giving a little but extra goes a long way. This is the time of year where you are grateful for your family, friends and most importantly your health. This is the time of year when the less fortunate struggle to provide for themselves and their families.

Curried recognizes that during this time of year giving takes on a whole new meaning.

As you know, Curried is a new business and as a new business there are many obstacles and hurdles early on. This has not stopped Curried from giving back to the community. All week long Curried is hosting a Toy Drive to benefit the kids at Children’s Memorial Hospital. We are giving away a free meal in exchange for a toy brought into our restaurant in Chicago. We are not doing it for PR or publicity, we are doing it because it is the right thing to do. We are giving as much as we can so that we can make a child’s Christmas just a little better. Curried believes in community and believes that the community comes first especially during these difficult times. Curried believes in spreading the Holiday Cheer and does not look for anything in return.

As Christmas gets closer, keep in mind the less fortunate. Keep in mind the families that will not have the best Christmas and the greatest presents. Keep in mind the families that are homeless. There are plenty of great charities to give to this time of year in Chicago and many that do not require money. There are charities that accept used coats, clothes and toys. So if you have a chance please give something that you may no longer need or want. Give a little something and help the community stay strong.

Happy Holidays to everyone and Team Curried wishes you a Happy & Healthy New Year. Remember that a little to you goes a long way to someone else.

YUM

Posted on November 5, 2011 by admin

YUM!

This blog is a super SHOUTOUT to Indian food with a strong emphasis on our Indian food. At Curried restaurant we love and breathe Indian food. It is our passion. It is our life line. It is our past time and our future. The beauty about Indian food is that it’s healthy in a variety of ways. You can liken our food to that of a home cooked meal. Our Indian is food is made with a medley of various spices of which many of them are extremely good for your body. As we have stated before in some of our blogs, we cater to so many different types of palates. Curried prides themselves on offering Indian food for Vegans, Vegetarians and Carnivores. Below we will break down one dish from each of those categories.

WARNING: your mouth with almost certainly begin to water and you will immediately and uncontrollably start heading to our restaurant while reading the descriptions below:

chicken tikka masala indian food curried getcurriedaway chicago restaurant delicious meals

Carnivores:
A carnivore aka meat eater that comes to our restaurant will be happy with any of our meat dishes. A customer favorite is definitely our mouth watering savory Chicken Tikka Masala. This is prepared with Tandoor oven-grilled chicken with secret spices and herbs. We then cook it in a tomato cream sauce that rivals the best in the world. Curried chefs have spent a lot of time perfecting this popular dish and we think we have accomplished that delightful perfection. It is more often than not that our friends ask us to put some extra sauce on both the naan and rice as this flavor is addictive. It is so good that we drink the sauce by itself, ok it is really good but we do not drink it by itself but we have to imagine that it would be delish if you did.

Vegans:
Vegans are often so excited to find out that we have vegan options as many restaurants do not. Our next classic Indian food dish is Chana Masala which happens to be a staple for all our vegans. Chana masala has no cream, butter or eggs which is why it is a favorite of our vegan community. The main ingredient of this dish is chickpeas which are added to a tomato and onion gravy. We then sprinkle in a blend of spices to add optimal flavor to this delicious authentic Indian food entree. Vegans have been known to come back for seconds and lick their plate clean. We have a few more vegan dishes that we offer such as mixed veggies, veggie biryani and our veggie samosas. Our Executive Chef is also in the process of expanding our vegan menu and we will be adding some more vegan dishes in the future.

Vegetarians:
Vegetarians in da house. Dal Makhani is a very popular vegetarian dish that is extremely flavorful, hearty and high in protein. The heart of this dish are kidney beans and black lentils. We then add cream, tomatoes, onions, ginger and a medley of Indian spices. This dish is slow cooked for hours which allows for maximum flavor and a smooth texture. Dal Makhani is a customer favorite and a personal favorite of our Executive Chef, who has spent much time perfecting this dish. If you love kidney beans and lentils, this high protein dish is a must try.
