5 starts for a well-marked menu for allergens. - Edit

It was tasty enough. A bit on the spicy side. Very oily dishes. All of them were. Not sure if that is to be expected or not. The papadam was amazingly thin and melts in your mouth - not very good for dipping with the meal (usually my option as GF). The veg were all very soft/mushy. Also don’t know if that is to be expected. The $4 charge for mushrooms (protein) hardly yielded any mushrooms (skip it). There was decent amount of tofu when I added that on. $4 still felt steep.

Pros: Lots of GF and V options , Spicy

Cons: Oily, (Head to Cafe Racer for more GF V options)

Would recommend!! - Edit

There are lots of vegan options, especially after 3:00pm (dinner menu has tons of options, lunch not as many). My favorites are the Dal, tofu masala, diwani handi baji, and the samosas. Super good!

Promising, but food was all too bitter - Edit

Curry In A Hurry is the successor to Gandhi Mahal, whose building was destroyed in May 2020. Its takeout only in a new space that has frequently been occupied by one South Asian business after another. The food they serve is broadly Bangladeshi/Bengali, but also North Indian.

They label all their vegan dishes, which is helpful and not common in South Asian restaurants in the Twin Cities.

We got the samosas ($5) which tasted okay but had a slightly charred flavor and an interesting mix of corn, carrots and potatoes. I don't mind "inauthentic" preparations, but the corn and carrots add a sweetness which doesn't suit the savoriness of a samosa.

The dal ($11) wasn't bad and had great texture. It has a sharpness (maybe from ginger) that I liked, but others might not.

The aloo begun ($13) was acrid-tasting and the potatoes in it weren't fully cooked. Similarly, the chana masala ($12) and unusual dewani handi baji (made with broccoli) ($14) also suffered from the same bitterness/acrid flavor.

The roti ($3) was fine.

The food wasn't oily or heavy, and the portion sizes are large, which was great, but it's a shame they didn't cook or season their dishes properly.

Portion sizes are large. If you're looking for North Indian food, I'd recommend India Palace, Darbar or Dancing Ganesha in Minneapolis; if you want something lighter or fresher, I'd recommend Gorkha Palace or Himalayan Restaurant which are both Nepalese.
