CURRY ELEMENT

The Real Deal! Authentic Pakistani Cuisine at its finest. Let’s break the review down. For starters, this place hits the spot and checks every foodie’s boxes—authentic taste, flavor, fresh, high quality ingredients, and cooked to perfection. In my quest for Authentic Pakistani food in O-Town, I stumbled across this hidden gem to satisfy my halwa poori cravings and fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised. The Halwa Aloo Poori, Chicken Seekh Kababs, Sesame Seed Naan, Aloo Paratha, as well as the dessert items — hot chai and gulab jamun — were exceptionally delicious and fresh - thanks to the owner Mr. Aziz who was super friendly and catered to all our needs. To add to our amazing experience, he helped us navigate the menu and even recommended the dishes to order - reassuring us he would aim to deliver above and beyond - and yes he did. This place deserves more than 5 stars for its wonderful ambiance, cozy seating, and food that is simply hard to beat perhaps not just in Florida, but even at a domestic level in the US. Keep it up guys. Well done.

So my family and I aren’t Pakistani or Indian, so maybe we aren’t subject matter experts. What I will say is that there aren’t many Pakistani restaurants around, so being just 20 min away was nice. We decided to give this newer place a shot for takeout, and boy are we glad we did. We got beef nihari, chicken Biryani, garlic naan and butter naan. My wife is super critical, and gave the chicken Biryani a 10/10, this is not common. I would give the beef Nihari 9/10, and the naan 4/10. The Biryani and the Nihari was so damn good the naan could’ve been made out of cardboard and I would still go back. We will continue to come here for Pakistani cuisine for sure, and we definitely recommend this place. The spiciness and flavor of the Nihari coupled with the super tender boneless shank was just . I loved it. Oh, and sorry for my awful out of character photo of the food. Tbh we were so hungry and it smelled so good that we couldn’t wait to tear into the food, so what you see is the result of that. I’ll be eating the Nihari for lunch tomorrow as well.

It was a sunny day, and we were craving authentic, spicy curry—something that could take us back to the flavors of our trip to Lucknow and Ahmedabad. After a long search, we stumbled upon Curry Element, which had just opened in December. Let me tell you, this place is the real deal for Pakistani cuisine! We ordered take out Goat Paya Nihari Goat Biryani Plain Naan Every dish was exceptional. The heat was perfectly balanced—not the kind that numbs your lips and tongue, but the kind that warms the back of your throat and lingers just right. The Goat Biryani was spot-on, with tender goat pieces and perfectly spiced rice. The Nihari and Goat Paya were equally delicious, with deep, rich flavors that transported us straight to South Asia. The food was spicy in all the right ways, and it left us heating up but wanting more. We're already planning to come back for Ramadan takeout. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Pakistani cuisine!

If you have not already try this place out. Easy to say that the food is made with love and care. Home made food feeling with great and kind service at the front.

I was searching newly opened restaurants on Google Maps and found this gem. We live in South Orlando (Windermere) and drove 40 mins on a Sunday. It was definitely worth the drive. The place is super clean. We ordered the Halwa Poori, Nihari and Chicken Biryani. I cannot express enough how authentic and flavorful the dishes were. This is by far the best tasting Pakistani food we've ever had in the Orlando/Longwood area. We're originally from Lahore, Punjab and definitely know outl food. The service was super quick. Our food came out in 10 mins. The owners are gems. Customer service was top notch and everything was served with a lot of attention to detail. The food spices were on point. This is definitely our #1 Pakistani spot for 2025. We're definitely going to be regulars here for weekend brunch.

Curry Element deserves a Michelin Star. First time I came here — I got a chicken seekh kebab. It was the best thing they recommended for all my dietary restrictions. I talked to Abdul and he said, “you need to sit down and eat.” I came in with my wife today and 15 minutes after ordering the owners brought out this 1 ft x 1 ft pile of goat briyani for my wife and scorching-hot-plate of the beef seekh kebab. Onions and tomatoes cooking — it was dinner and show at this point. It was like going to BlackRock Grill. Except — not in traffic-induced hell-hole that’s Orlando. It’s off-the-beaten path in Longwood. We dug in and my wife and agreed even before the meal — “their only competition is international drive. No one in Longwood, Winter Springs, Lake Mary, Sanford or Apopka can compete with them.” That was when we tried the take-out. After the dine-in-meal— the only restaurant that can measure up to them by-a-hair is Christener’s Prime. And the only thing there — their steaks. They beat Fleming’s, Dragonfly Robata, Ruth Chris, Season’s 52 by milesss. So much flavor — all halal — I feel phenomenal after eating. I feel clearer headed — more energized and ready-to-take-on anything. And to stress — that was after eating foods teaming with flavor.. from spicy-to-sweet and everything-in-between.

We came to Curry Element for the first time. A great experience started with Abdul greeting. Food was out of the world . We are definitely coming back

My friends and I were looking for new places to try and we were suggested this restaurant. The restaurant has such a welcoming atmosphere and serves the most wonderful Halal Indo Pak food. We ordered an array of foods to try and each dish was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
