About

Here at The Curry Project, our mission is simple: to publish unique, bona fide reviews of the world’s wackiest and most remote Indian restaurants. OK, a few normal ones too. We don’t discriminate; all curry-serving establishments are fair game.

Our team is bonkers for Indian cuisine–like, borderline obsessive. We eat it all, from samosas and tikka masala to saag and tandoori meat. Join us on our culinary globe-trot and experience Indian food in a new, worldly kind of way.

Our Writers

Derek “Earl” Baron has never returned home from his three-month adventure to Southeast Asia that began ten years ago. He’s worked aboard cruise ships, backpacked through danger zones and spent an unacceptable amount of time sleeping in hammocks. During his annual visits to India, it’s not uncommon for him to devour seven meals, before noon. His ideal dessert? A second order of chicken korma and an extra piece of kashmiri naan. You can reach Earl at earl@wanderingearl.com or on his website, Wandering Earl.

Alan Perlman travels the world as a cost-of-living surveyor, hunting down prices in a global scavenger hunt of sorts–granulated salt? Women’s panties? You name it. When he’s not working, he’s eating Indian food in places like Syria, Turkmenistan and Rwanda, and when he’s not eating Indian food, you can bet your bottom dollar that he’s dreaming about it. Oh, and that slice of pizza he’s chomping on? Can someone Photoshop a dosa in there? Reach him at perlman.alan@gmail.com. or through his blog, The 9 to 5 Alternative.

Thomas Gibney is the shameless perpetrator of all kinds of linguistic haberdashery, from poetry to bloggery to general tomfoolery of the opinionated and overzealous order. His obsession with hot peppers and foods have created something of a neurological imbalance most likely linked to extant memories of a former life as an Indian spice merchant. Not surprisingly, then, his mother reports that his first words were, “Pass the sauce.” Emails are encouraged as well, as long as you lay on the chutney: thomasgibney@gmail.com.

Erin Milnes Halvey is an aspiring printmaker with an addiction to Indian food (and Kingfisher). She’s driven 4 hours to get a chole fix, adores aloo gobi, and she and her husband celebrated their anniversary with copious amounts of curry. When not stuffing her face with samosa chaat or pulling prints, she’s blogging about art, food, travel and general nerdiness at Visual Vacation. Emails (and gallons of mango lassi) are welcome at erinmilnes@gmail.com.
