Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Curry Corner in the episode "A Festival of Flavor," aired 2013-06-17, spotlighting the restaurant's Pakistani and Indian curries served cafeteria-style. Curry Corner is a casual Pakistani-Indian restaurant at 1212 East Apache Boulevard in Tempe, near the Arizona State University campus. A Yelp listing updated in July 2026 shows the business with 863 reviews at that address, and a Grubhub delivery page checked on 2026-09-08 listed Curry Corner as actively taking orders from the same location, with posted hours of 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily.

Both listings continue to identify the restaurant under its original name and address, with no indication of closure or relocation since the show's 2013 visit. Seamless and DoorDash pages for the same Apache Boulevard address also turned up in the search results, further indicating an active, deliverable restaurant.

Part 2 — Season 27, Episode 4 Aired July 28, 2017

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network), this appearance in the "Fun in the Sun" episode, which aired 2017-07-28, revisited Curry Corner, an Indo-Pakistani restaurant at 1212 E Apache Blvd in Tempe, Arizona. According to the Phoenix New Times, the restaurant is run by chef-owner Farah Khalid and was established in 2000, serving Indo-Pak dishes to the Tempe area for years before its television appearance drew wider attention. Guy Fieri originally sampled the restaurant's overnight-marinated tandoori chicken and goat haleem, a lentil-based stew, and, according to Flavortownusa, considered it among the standout Pakistani restaurants he had visited during his travels, when Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives first visited in June 2013. The same episode guide additionally lists the restaurant's phone number as 480-894-1276 for reference.
