Masala Express

Based on the reviews I thought this place was going to be great. I would have gave 1 star but the folks running this place were super friendly and they gave me a free samosa on my way out, and the garlic naan was the best I ever had. I ordered lamb vindaloo with naan and rice. The rice for 6.99 was MUSH and it tasted like old food in the fridge. The spice in the Vindaloo was delicious, but for 13.99 I got 4 small bites of lamb and a few hard undercooked potatoes.

Have ordered from her regularly, love it. I always get something super spicy and delish, Samosas are always great, and ready when I come to pick it up.
Ate in one time, probably would not do that again as it is kind of dirty on the inside of the restaurant.
Family run, always happy service, will continue to eat here until we move out of the area :)

Our first order from Masala Express was a little disappointing. Just a little. The food was good, but we were hoping it would be better. We ordered three vegetarian dishes, and one of them was really nice, the Mixed Vegetable Curry. We haven’t had okra in a while so we ordered the Pan Fried Okra Masala, which had a lot of long green pods fried in a ton of onions, which I kind of liked. Onions dominate this dish, so you need to like them. The lentil dish (Dal Fry) was a bit salty and a bit soupy and kind of boring for all that, but mixed with the abundant rice it was a bit better. The garlic naan bread was really good. (4 stars is rounding up a little bit.)
The dishes are served in clear plastic containers, and the portions are huge. Which is a good deal for $ 8 or $ 9. Or maybe 3 of them was too much to split between two people. The plastic tubs are great for leftovers.
The restaurant itself is in a tiny strip mall buried in the suburbs and I imagine they rarely have anyone dine in at their two tables. Aside from some paintings and sculptures of Ganesh, the restaurant itself reminds me of a lunch room in a factory. So, order the delivery. From reading the other posts, apparently the butter chicken is quite nice.

Great food! Butter chicken is a bit sweet but still super delicious and authentic!

Most amazing Indian takeout EVER!
I’ve tasted dozens of Indian take out joints, and this place wins first place, no competition!
BEST butter chicken on the planet! Spicy vindaloo! Fantastic naan and samosas. Best of all — the veggie pekoras are SO far superior to any others I’ve ever tried, and the mango chutney/​sauce that accompanies is just right.
Masala Express is PERFECT.
And their prices are reasonable too! Cheaper than most! The staff are always very friendly and easy to work with as well.
I DARE you to find better.

This evening, we ordered in addition to our usual fare (see below) meat samosas and pakora. The meat samosas were giant! The sauce that goes with it — delicious with a hint of spicy sweetness! The pakora — so good!
I have to say the Butter Chicken has to be one of the best I’ve ever had — the chicken is so soft, you can cut it with your fork. Delicious sauce — you just want to eat more of it!

I’m not the best person to judge an Indian restaurant; I’ve only just started to appreciate this kind of food… but I will say that I really liked the veggie pakoras and the butter chicken. They hit the spot, so I’ll definitely go back again.
