Curry Insel

Excellent Sri Lankan curry house. Reservation needed at weekends. The best thing to do is to buy 4-5 of the little curries, dahls etc. and combine with an assortment of sides like the hoppers and thosai. For chilli-addicts, a couple of the chutneys are pretty hot and a little bowl of the sambal will add heat to anything.

Quality seems to have declined a little in the last year but still great.

I agree with pretty much everything - especially with the comment that it really deserves more than 3 stars (in my very humble opinion).

The non-smoking back room actually felt like it even though people were smoking in the front room.

Great indian/sri lankan food. People have been telling me you need to reserve ahead of time to get a table, but I've always managed to squeeze in without a reservation when I've been there.

sorry guys, but this is defintitely more than a 3 star...

Die Curry-Insel läßt namentlich eindeutig Würstelstand-Vergleiche aufkommen, dann ist aber auch schon Schluß. Fantastisches Essen in sämtlichen Schärfen (Original-Indisch-Scharf bekommt man allerdings nur schwer, da es einem Europäer offenbar nur schwer zumutbar ist. Auch ich bin 2 Stufen darunter hängengeblieben - und ich mag scharf), ziemlich authentisch und vor allem lecker, lecker, lecker.

I've only been here twice, but the food was great, and the ambiance and service were good too. It feels quite unlike other restaurants in Vienna.

For years I thought it was a Wurstlstand somehow (Currywurst... Verkehrsinsel... Curry Insel...)

Great curryhouse featuring specialties from Sri Lanka. One of the few spots in Vienna to grab a curry with some real kick to it. In fact, one of the choices for spiciness on their menu is simply a picture of an ambulance, so I think you can guess they mean business when it comes to . Lots of vegetarian and vegan options too.
