"Subtle Curry Dating" is a reference to the Facebook group "subtle curry traits", which itself may be an offshoot of the "subtle asian traits" group (I forget which came first).
These are both examples of Facebook groups aimed at a large but unconnected group of people from similar backgrounds. I think they can be fundamentally considered to be "subreddits, but on Facebook". Imagine /r/BlackPeopleTwitter but for (South/)Asians.
As someone with the right context in the target demo, I find "Subtle Curry Dating" to be a hilarious name. Not only that, I think I'd be more likely to find someone I mesh with on that service than the same service with a different name.
Edit: some cursory googling revealed that "Matzoball Dating" might be a similar sort of in-joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matzo_Ball https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matzo_Ball
