Curry Express

Unassuming Indian restaurant right on highland avenue. Honestly I might’ve never gone here if I wasn’t sitting at the bar at Highland Kitchen looking across the street. Well anyways we got hungry and I went across the street to order takeout. The staff were friendly and courteous and the food was ready quickly. We liked the meals and felt like the value was very fair. I will say the spice level at “medium” was good and actually had a bit of kick. Will be returning!

My friend and I stumbled upon this place, and it was so delicious (Saag paneer and veggie momos). The portions are huge and come with a big plate of rice. You can choose your spice level. They offer free masala chai you can enjoy while you wait for your food. The food was so good we forgot to take a picture 🤣 Ramesh the man who served us was lovely. This place is clearly a great spot since there were a ton of people doing take out.

Today was my first time coming to Curry Express, and wow! I’m so happy I live close to this gem of a restaurant now! My friend and I enjoyed every dish (I had the Dal Chicken and shared Vegetable Momo Dumplings with my friend) and felt as though we were welcomed to someone’s home. Ramesh’s service, which was kind, swift, and amazing (in addition to the food!) definitely makes me want to come back again! I wish I took photos of the food, but out of excitement and hunger I ate it all without remembering to do so. This is a must go to place! Ooo and they serve free masala chai, which was sooooo good too!

I have ordered their vegetarian to go tiffin many times and it has become my go to whenever I don’t feel like cooking but still want food with a home cooked vibe. The dal makhani and mixed vegetable korma are my absolute favorites. They both are delicious, comforting and very filling. The food consistently feels wholesome and satisfying just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommended if you are craving simple, tasty vegetarian food that hits the spot.

For around $17 you will get a good amount of food with amazing flavor. I got the lamb biriyani (spice level spicy) and it was delicious. If you are a person of color who enjoys spicy food it was leveled appropriately. It also comes with free masala chai.
