Our take: Samy's Curry is a long-standing institution in Dempsey, known for its authentic South Indian fare served on banana leaves.
The Fish Head Curry is consistently highlighted as a must-try, praised for its rich, flavourful gravy and fresh fish.
Beyond the signature, the Masala Chicken and Mutton Mysore also receive strong recommendations, with many noting their complex spice blends.
Appetizers like Cauliflower 65 and Fish Cutlet are popular choices, though some find the Cauliflower 65 a bit oily.
We note the free-flow rice (white or biryani) and accompanying vegetables as a significant value-add, especially for groups.
While the atmosphere is casual, it's well-suited for group dining, and the availability of free parking and an air-conditioned section are practical benefits.
We'd recommend going with a group to sample a wider variety of dishes.
Be prepared for crowds during weekend lunch, but the wait is generally manageable.
A reliable choice for a hearty, authentic Indian meal.

What customers say
Samy's Curry is highly regarded for its authentic South Indian banana leaf experience, with the Fish Head Curry, Masala Chicken, and Mysore Mutton frequently highlighted as standout dishes.
Customers appreciate the generous portions, free-flow rice and vegetables, and the overall value for money, especially for group dining.
While generally praised for its flavorful and fresh food, some find certain dishes like Cauliflower 65 to be oily or the Masala Tea too mild, and the restaurant can get very crowded during peak hours.
