    Quick stop lunch haul at the food court, for the price it's hugely over anticipated but not the worst. Plentiful portion and very filling to keep you going when on the move.

    We have been here so many times. We work in foodcourt industry as well. First of all their employees are So RUDE and annoying, they never smile and Always disrespect the customers. They just keep the orders on the plates after 25 minutes and never tell it’s ready. We can just never get food without any hair in it… Unhygienic.

    I stood in line for 10 minutes just to be given my mango shake which contained rotten expired milk/yogurt. When I went back, all the workers were in shock saying that they saw the worker make it just now and that it couldnt have gone bad. OBVIOUSLY HE JUST MADE IT, BUT I SAW HIM STRUGGLING TO FIND FRESH INGREDIENTS TO MAKE IT WITH. He didn't even apologize or acknowledged their mistake. PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT FOOD POISONING. DISGUSTING.

    Excellent staff. Special thanks to the manager for offering a vegan substitution to the naan bread in the combo. Much appreciated. I know that I'll be back.

    Zero Customer Service, The samosa chat was full of salt only , nothing else. I would recommend if you really want indian food this is certainly not the place. I asked to exchange that item but they straight away refused. I could have given zero stars if I could. Super Rude girl at front.

    I wish I could give 0 rating. Worst place ever. Staff is very rude and also the quality of food. Once I went there and the lady at front literally ignored me and even though I was in the line, she wasn’t taking my order. I ordered 3-4 items and she literally gave me only 2. I was so mad and disappointed. Worst customer service ever.

    Food quality is not good. I purchased multiple items all are taste less only samosa is little bit good but they don't give chatti. Employees are busy in talking they don't focus on customer requirements.

    Recently I visited Curry Express and ordered Chole rice naan roll and chicken biryani. I think they prepare biryani per order basis and it took them atleast 20 to prepare our order. Overall I found their food is average. I think instead of chole wrap I should have ordered chole and naan but I like the taste of their chole.

    An Indian desi restaurant located in the food court of Metropolis at Metrotown. I gave it a try, you can get a combo with two curries, rice and naan, you can also take both naan instead of rice and naan or just the rice, I’m not a rice person so I asked them to give me 2 naans instead of rice and naan. The combo costs $16 and additional $1 for a drink, you can choose between hot and cold drink as they offer chai as well. The food I guess is was not fresh/over cooked as it’s sitting on the stove since it’s cooked so probably that changes the taste of it over the time. I tried it in the evening for dinner, maybe the it tastes better in the afternoon when it’s fresh. I chose fish curry and channa masala both tastes below average!

    Worst biryani ever! It was over spicy and no yogurt was provided. At least provide the right accompaniment for this dish if you are charging $ 14.50. It seems the chef had made this dish just for the sake of it. I am a biryani lover and never had worse biryani than this. Not going here again.

    I really don't like the way they displaying the samosa in $11.00 but selling it for $12.60. I wonder why? This is not fair and not professional. Also, the quantity is too less in their combo (rice with any curry) Better you don't eat Indian food here.

    I bought food curry express inside metropolitan mall, i bought channa batura and chaat papdi. it was too bad, raw and full of oil. Cashier girls even did not provide me good service and not properly packed my food.

    ordered ‘one curry with rice and naan’ for $9 so i picked the fish curry with rice(i requested no naan). servings are a lot ( they put too much sauce) for an average person. food tasted like comfort food to me but the way they handle it should be gentle.

    I’ve visited this place probably 10 times in the last year, mostly out of convenience. And honestly the quality is hit or miss. Today I ordered a combo plate with curry chicken, mixed veg, rice and naan. The rice is fine but the chicken smells really bad or rotten. To the point that I’m worried I’m going to get ill off the small piece that was in my mouth. I’m actually going to put the meal in a bag and put it on my balcony because it’s all I can smell now. It’s turning my stomach. Aside from that the portions seem to be really small today. They gave me a naan that’s been sitting out for a few hours by the looks of it, which is weird because they are usually good about always giving fresh naan to everyone. And just to be fair, I have had really good curry chicken from here 1 time out of the 10 I’ve been there. But this is the second time I’ve questioned something they’ve served me. I don’t know what happened today but it’s really nasty. I won’t be going back.

    Finally, an Indian joint that offers a small portion of curry and rice! Other establishments I've been to only offered larger portions. The butter chicken curry was well-flavoured, and the rice complements it. The chicken were boneless and cut in bite-sized pieces, which made my eating experience way less of a hassle. I would order again some time for a quick craving of Indian cuisine.

    Curry express is in Metrotown mall. Their line up and wait time was less than other restaurants in the food court. Quality and taste of their food was good. I tried curry combo.

    Absolutely delicious food. I came a few days ago and I also came today. Today there was these ladies, they are super kind and polite. But there was a rude costumer bothering them. I hope they are okay. Some costumers don’t know how it feels to work in the retail environment. I don’t expect anyone to be nice to me too. Just be kind to other people

    I ordered chilly chicken and butter chicken. I had to ask to get actual pieces of chicken as my plate was just full of sauce, I literally just got more sauce on my plate - again no chicken. My surprise was that the butter chicken tasted like water and the chicken chicken was flavourless. Felt ripped off. service wasn’t good either. Over priced, never coming back! Do not recommend at all, food was unsatisfactory and expensive for what I got. Used to be a pretty good place!

    Best food but they should pack in the curries in different container cuz they get mix .. upon asking they will charge $20 for the combo which is $13 just because you asked for containers .. Maybe bring your container and get food from there … Even better

  • 4/5 Prabhleen K. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly, I loved their food and its portion size. I had ordered a small rice serving with mix veg & cholle (chickpeas). The dish was delicious, although some people will find it a bit spicy for their palate. This all cost me around $13.23 including tax. (The Naan are 2 for $2 if you want it on side)

    I took their smosa chat and chai … smosa chat was pretty good but i will not say that this is one of the best for an obvious reason that its in food court like other fast food resturants and is not a fine dining restuarant. But their chai is amazing… its not too strong by adding too much black tea or not too bland by adding too less tea. Its not too milky and its not too watery (i mean if u make tea by adding 2.5 cup water and 1 cup milk). It was not too sweet personally i added one sugar by myself later. It was served very hot. Chai is a thing with which you can impress an Indian person. And yess I am. Really liked their food. Sorry I am being a bit descriptive but I feel general words and a short review would not help anybody.
