The Restaurants
Barrie Delight
1179 Bayfield St N Unit 4, Midhurst
Open until 9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, Barrie Delight is known for its Samosas and Butter Chicken. This restaurant is located in a plaza about a 10-minute drive north of the city, so there’s lots of parking available.
Curry In A Hurry
20 Bell Farm Rd, Barrie
Who doesn’t like pizza and Indian food late at night? TJs Pizza & Curry in a Hurry is located in the north end of Barrie in a plaza. Customers to TJs recommend the Saag paneer and Butter Chicken as well as the Caribbean Curry and Roti. Curry in a Hurry also offers lots of vegan options.
Unfortunately, they’re only open from the afternoon until 7:30 pm, so they are more of a dinner spot than late-night eats.
DesiLicious
130 Bell Farm Rd, Barrie
Open until midnight on Friday and Saturday nights and 11 pm during the rest of the week, DesiLicious is a good option for your late-night eats. They’re located in the north of Barrie, close to Georgian College.
Regulars to DesiLicious recommend the Channa Samosas and Shahi Panee.
Indian Curry and Grill House
311 Blake St, Barrie
While not open quite as late as DesiLicious, Indian Curry is open until 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, 10 pm on Sundays and 9 pm the rest of the week, except Tuesdays when they’re closed, and you’ll have to venture elsewhere for your fix.
They’re located in a plaza with the No Frills store in the east end of Barrie.
Customers recommend the Samosas, Lamb Vindaloo, and the chefs can adjust the spice level from very hot to mild. One regular mentioned in a review they make a mild butter chicken that’s great for his kids.

Customers recommend Tandoori for the great prices, good portions and amazing flavours. The Malai Kofta, Chaat Papri and Vegetable Korma are recommended.
One customer says to get the take-out because the portions are worth its price, with just the right amount of spice and chutney, and there’s always fresh pomegranate on top.
Royal Paan
7 Anne St., Unit 7, Barrie
Located off the 400 exit near Dunlop and Anne St., Royal Paan is open late until 2 am on Friday until Sunday and midnight the rest of the week.
