    Amazing food ! I didn’t expect that although this restaurant is a bit inside the neighborhood, the food worth my trip all the way there ! I ordered veg samosa, chicken beriani , naan , salted lecci and chicken butter. Highly recommend

    These chaps really know what they're doing, great little sit down spot for some great Indian food at a good price too. Found the lamb to be prepared perfectly and the flavours are rich and sharp. Great friendly service too and of course is BYOB which makes it even better!

    Best Indian food I have found in London. Everyone I introduce to this place absolutely loves it. Incredible service and lovely atmosphere, and excellent speedy delivery service as well. Cannot recommend this place enough. One of my all time faves.

    Came here, because I was looking for a genuine Indian Restaurant whilst visiting London. Well, I was blown away, I accidentally found the exact spot I was looking for! The Restaurant itself is quite small, but nicely furnished and decorated, and very busy on a Sunday night, in addition to the guests in the restaurant a lot of people come by for take away - and I know why: Great lord this is good. The dishes are so well cooked (the naan bread is out of this world), we were recommended to try a tray with different Chutneys - amazing - and the service was nice. The hotness of the dishes are adjusted to Western standards, so mild means mild and hot means hot. If I would not have planned my other nights in London already I would come again to try something else.

    Very tasty food. The meat in the lamb and pumpkin was some of the most tender I've had in a curry. Light fluffy nan bread and fragrantly spiced pilau rice. I was very lucky to get the last table on a Sunday evening

    Ordered a take away as I was feeling unwell and not upto cooking. I haven’t had a really good Indian take away for a while so was not sure what to expect but this food was delicious and has made me feel nice and warm inside. Very flavoursome and good size portions. I will definitely order again.

    Quaint mom and pop Indian restaurant. I had a wonderful dining experience at the restaurant. Great flavors and fresh tastes. Not too spicy. The dal was a little bland and I would not order it again. The saag paneer and curry green chicken were excellent!! I like that you can order the veg dishes as sides instead of mains. One of the best pets, it is BYOB so stop by the Qwickie Mart before heading in!

    One of the best Indian restaurants I've tried so far! Don't be fooled by the façade, inside lies a golden nugget. A small, intimate room, friendly staff, delicious dishes and generous portions!

    My parents were visiting from America and both had a negative experience in the past with Indian food available locally. Turns out, they just needed to come to Indian Express and enjoy the subtle and complex flavours from the chargrilled fish with lime pickle and the amazingly flavourful mixed grill. Thank you Indian Express for quality food, service and a lovely vibe that left my parents feeling like Indian food is as much of a treat as I think it is!

    great meal- not your average neighborhood curry place- owner takes pride in unique recipes, proper technique, and fresh ingredients

  • 5/5 Finn F. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    The best Indian restaurant in West London, both as a takeaway, but more importantly, as a dine in experience. The food is exceptional, there is a huge amount of choice and the portion sizes are really generous. The owner is really friendly and I could not fault the service. I would highly recommend!

    Indian Express was such a wonderful experience. We were a party of three we tried their meat and veggie dishes, all of which were delicious, and at fantastic price. The staff was super polite and helpful. We asked for a complicated credit card division of the bill and they did not have any issues with it. I truly recommend their Garlic Green Chicken Chilli.

    I've had the take away from Indian Express many times and recently dined in. These guys really know how to put together a great meal. Lamb Sagaloo, Lamb Balti, Chilli Panner - all great! Highly recommended.

    Everything is great at this place! Small restaurant with very delicious Indian cuisine 😋 The food, service, and owners (Mr. Abdul Roqib) were remarkable and over our expectations 👍👍👍 The most recommended and advised place.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, attention to detail and balanced flavours, not too sweet, not too salty, not too hot and most importantly not too fatty. This is the second time we're going and we're hooked. Food cooked with a heart and that is present in the taste so we're looking forward to going back. Very respectful for dietary restrictions too, I can't have green coriander and they made sure none of it was present in my food. I have to give it a 5 star rating, it's only fair. Try it and you won't regret it but take into account it gets very busy, for all the reasons above!

    Have been using for years and was delighted when I recently moved and was able to move back into their delivery catchment. We preordered a delivery for NYE and staff were all great in making sure it arrived once we were home, not beforehand (a problem we've had with other restaurants when we have pre ordered before). I'm not vegetarian but the paneer Tikka Bhuna is a huge favourite of mine and has been for years. The raja platter and vegetarian platter are also brilliant when you're not quite sure what to have on the side or to start. Will continue to shout from the rooftops about this place!

    Best indian food in London! The pumpkin lamb is simply marvellous. The service is perfect and Rocky will tell you the passion and the hard work they put into their dishes! Definitely will see you soon.

  • 5/5 Sam G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing authentic Indian restaurant. The staff is also very kind and helpful with anything. They probably don’t sell alcohol for religion, but still allow you to bring your own bottles (or you can go to the store just down the street) and will provide you with glasses if you choose to do so. Would definitely come back for an excellent curry

  • 5/5 Toni 1 year ago on Google
    First time here & it was lovely. The food was outstanding. The level of spicy was spot on. I might be slightly ashamed to admit that medium spicy was almost too spicy for me but I persevered. The staff is amazing, so kind & so very patient with our group. Looking forward to going back many more times as I travel to London weekly for work.

    What a hidden gem!! I was in London with my family on holiday. After a couple of days we were missing good old home cooked food. After a quick Google search I found this restaurant with good reviews. It's only small with limited seating but so WORTH it. Every dish was flavourful and tasted unique. We loved it that much we went back every night before returning to Manchester! Normally it's bland food but this was perfect with the right amount of spice. When I return to London this will be my go to for good home cooked food !!

  • 4/5 F X. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great (from the little that I ate)! The staff were great! Would be 5 stars if it accommodated more to those of us that are lactose intolerant, almost all their dishes have yoghurt in them. Yummy but not worth the risk (suffered the consequences from the little I ate). If however you don't have any intolerances, I highly recommend.

    Nice treatment. Expected more spice food for being Indian food. Maybe my western preference.

  • 5/5 Deborah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my... coming from up north, I have had some good curries but this was excellent. Onion bhajis best I have had (I like them crunchy) n tried a new dish on the staff recommendation. No alcohol served but tye food is excellent.

  • 5/5 David F. 2 years ago on Google
    I like other reviewers thought this was more a takeaway place. Wrong. Its actually a very lovely and cosy eat in place seating 18. I ate on a Monday night arrived at 6pm and got a table no problem. In next 15 minutes the last 2 tables went as rest reserved. Make of that what you will!

  • 5/5 Mohamed A. 2 years ago on Google
    The food tasted great. Tried different dishes and all were delicious and cooked with love! The place is small but has a pleasant and soothing ambience. It's one of the hidden gems for Indian cuisine!

  • 5/5 Mike H. 1 year ago on Google
    Attending Railtex and we were located near this restaurant, it may be unlicensed but the food was great. It was busy and the service was impeccable…and they catered for celiac condition. So if you want a curry and GF, go here I’d like to think you won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 olivia m. 1 year ago on Google
    This is some of the best Indian food I have ever had. I hoped to find some traditional Indian food on my trip and Indian Express exceeded my expectations. The owner Rocky was very kind and hospitable and treated us like we were in his home. The food was delicious and fresh and if you’re not sure what to order, ask for a recommendation and you will not be disappointed. The two times we visited were some of the best memories of our trip to London. Thank you Rocky and staff I hope to come back one day soon.

    The food was super delicious and authentic. The service was amazing and the owner went out of his way to serve us. The owner will also go out of his way to talk with you and ask if the food is okay. He will recommend options if you don’t know what to get. Overall, if you are traveling or live in London, you will love this place. 5 stars
