Just okay. I recently tried this place to try and find a new Indian restaurant than my usual favorite place in Niles. I ordered the butter chicken, gobi manchurian, and a few pieces of garlic naan. The good: heat level on the butter chicken was excellent for me (but it will probably be too hot for most people who are not used to eating Indian food). The portion sizes were fair I 'd say though almost on the small side for the price. Everything was hot to eat when I brought it home (like a 15 min drive). The bad: the naan tastes like Trader Joe 's or store bought not home made. The gobi manchurian does not have an Indo/Chinese taste at all it 's mostly just Indian flavored and they are veggie...
I'm SO glad that this place exist in Bartlett and I hope that it thrives! The food here is really tasty and packaged well whether you do carry out or delivery. This was the second time placing an order with them (both times it was a pickup) and it's good. And keep in mind that this review is only for Lunch Specials and one of the appetizers (Khasta Kachori). We decided to pick Palak Paneer, and Malai Kofta as the main course items (you can choose from number of items, all lacto vegetarian). Both tasted really good, the only thing that my wife noticed was that Palak Paneer apparently had mustard seeds (Rai) in them which you'd never see in this particular item. As for the appetizer item, Khas...
This place hit the spot when I was in the mood for Indian cuisine. You can dine in, but there is no table service. Most people seem to pick up their food from here. Khasta Kachori (2) $4 Fried round pastry stuffed with spicy moong dal mixture, served with green and red chutney. I haven 't had these before, and they were simple but flavorful. I still prefer the samosa for appetizer. Bhindi Masala $11 Okra cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices. This is my first time trying it and was recommended by the restaurant. Delicious and would order again. I 'm a fan of okra and this was a unique dish. Palak Paneer $10 Cottage cheese cooked in a spinach, garlic and masala spice puree. Good flavor and...
This Indian vegetarian restaurant specializes in street food and offers a variety of snacks, lunch, and dinner options. We tried the Khasta Kachori Chaat, Chili Paneer, and Gulab Jamun. I must say that the Khasta Kachori tastes best when enjoyed fresh at the restaurant, as it tends to lose its crispiness if taken to go. The Chili Paneer was decent but didn't have the authentic Indo-Chinese flavor I expected. On the other hand, the Gulab Jamun was absolutely delicious—soft and perfectly soaked. I’m looking forward to exploring more dishes from the menu soon and will share additional reviews and photos!

How is it possible that Tika Masala doesn't come with white rice? This is usually a standard inclusion everywhere else! Given the prices here, it's surprising that rice isn't included. It's like ordering egg foo young without the rice, biscuits and gravy without the biscuits, or a cheeseburger and having to pay extra for the bun. I ordered for delivery—imagine my disappointment when it arrived without any rice! What am I supposed to eat with just the gravy and meat? I would recommend going somewhere else.
We just picked up food here about an hour ago. We wanted to do the dinner special, but I think some communication was mixed up. We ordered the bhindi masala and and chicken tikka masala (they recently started adding meat dishes). I enjoyed the bhindi masala while my partner said the chicken tikka masala was heavy on the tomato flavor. First time trying this place and will try it again to get a better idea multitudes of flavors.
First time trying Indian Cuisine in the area and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the food here at Indian Express Cuisine was. We ordered each of the various breads, the Samosa appetizer, Chole Butara, and the Jeera Rice. All were extremely flavorful and we left very full. Staff was very kind and welcoming and we look forward to visiting again!
Terrible customer service. I wanted to order samosas for my daughter's birthday party, but the way the person answered my call was off-putting. He lacked basic manners, and I will definitely not be calling this place again.

The Chicken Tikka Masala is absolutely delicious, but I was disappointed with the Palak Paneer, which is normally one of my favorites. The rice serving was quite generous, but my naan was a little too greasy for my taste.
Food was delicious! Big portions and friendly staff! Definitely will go back! If you haven’t tried Indian you are missing out!
