Spice challenges are nothing new in the restaurant world, but Curryish Tavern’s version comes with a genuinely compelling incentive: finish their spiciest curry, and the restaurant doesn’t just comp the meal — they hand over an extra $100 on top of it.
The catch, as with any good spice challenge, is that finishing isn’t as simple as it sounds. The dish in question is built to push even seasoned heat-seekers to their limit, and the restaurant’s willingness to put real money behind the bet signals just how confident they are in the dish’s intensity.
For a city that’s never shied away from a good food challenge, Curryish Tavern’s offer taps into a well-worn but reliably popular genre — equal parts culinary flex and social media bait, and a natural draw for anyone looking to test their limits with friends in tow.
Think you can handle the heat? Curryish Tavern’s spicy curry challenge is running now — bring backup.
