Looking for some tasty Indian food? Check out Curry Corner Indian Eatery & Bar in Old Town Minneapolis at 201 E Hennepin Avenue. We talked to co-owner Pinda Singh about Punjabi cuisine, happy hours (don’t miss the Indian cocktails!) and his menu recommendations.
Q: How would you describe the cuisine of Curry Corner Indian Eatery & Bar?
A: Curry Corner is a family-style serving restaurant. I own the restaurant with my two cousins, Kuljit Singh and Sukhdeep Baath. We use our family recipes that are still in use back home in Punjab, India. We offer all types of naans and curries from North India. We have all kinds of breads, including Roti, Paneer Naan and Garlic Naan. Curries too - such as Vegetable Curry, Aloo Gobi (Potato and Cauliflower) are made fresh daily. Most of our entrees are gluten-free and we offer lots of vegetarian entrees.
When talking about North Indian food, I have to emphasize samosas which are one of North Indian cuisine’s most famous appetizers. All our entrees are made fresh per order and customers can select any spice level from mild, medium or hot. We offer a variety of Indian cocktails as well. In fact, our cocktail menu sets us apart from other Indian restaurants – check out our playful and delicious drinks such as Bollywood Beach and Tamarind Margarita.

- Appetizer- Vegetable Samosas
- Curry with any protein or vegetarian
- Garlic Naan
- All entrees come with Basmati Rice – everyone will love this rice
- For a beverage, try our Mango Lassi or another Indian cocktail
