Curry Express
“For dine-in, I normally choose other restaurants, but for curry delivery, THIS IS THE ONE.”
“$7 for veggie platter with roti/naan at lunch ($7.75 for the same at dinner) and the food is the best of all the cafeteria-style places (and really better than most of the sit-down places).”
“don't forget to watch the bollywood movies and music videos which will make your meal even more entertaining.”

My wife and I stumbled on this place. After shopping for spices we were looking for a place for good, affordable Indian eats. What a find! The place was full of cab drivers. A good sign I thought. The food is excellent and reasonably priced, two dishes, two naan and two Snapples, 22$ and we had enough food for dinner. This place looks like a hole in the wall but don't pass it up. Some of the best Indian we have had in a while. Solid 4 stars.
$10 chicken curry lunch special? Sold.
So the weird thing about this place is that their online/delivery menu is far different from what they offer in store. I assume they just run their kitchen separate for Seamless vs. in-store.
Not a dealbreaker, but a bit disjointed of an experience. For $9.95 and tax ($10.83), you get rice, chicken curry, and two vegetable sides. I did the cabbage/tofu and the potatoes.
Yes, it's not the most photogenic meal, but it's one hell of a deal! I actually made two meals out of it. And most of all, it was tasty.
this is typical new york city indian food. its fragrant, very mild and as all the other reviews say, cheap. its great if you want delivery for your variety of friends or co-workers. if you're looking for that legit indian flavor, this isn't it.
the navaratan korma was surprising, it was full with random veggies like potatos, carrots and broccoli on top of the to-be-expected paneer. it was arguable the best part.
the naan was very thick, slightly doughy but it was better than the rice, which was completely bland and rather dry.
the tandoori chicken, which i asked for as spicy, was neither flavorful or offering much kick. that being said, it was tender and there were a lot of pieces.
Oh, and I will say Katie really enjoyed it, which made me happy because she doesn't have much experience with Indian food so this gave her a positive impression.
i'm happy because the food made others happy. And ultimately, that's the point of indian food. seriously. its family style food. so i will be ordering from here again, although it can definitely be better.
I've been to Curry Express on a couple of occasions now, and I'm a fan! Most recently, I shared the three vegetable platter, an order of the vegetable samosas, and the garlic naan with my friend, and everything hit the spot. One platter serves up more than enough food for two people, so between that and the samosas and the naan, we had more than our fill. For the platter, we chose the lentils, the mushrooms, and the palak paneer. The samosas were a great way to start off the meal; the naan a delicious side. And since a side of naan comes with the platters, the garlic was only a $1 extra. I definitely plan to return!
Never given any indian restaurant a 5 star review in my life. Mostly because the places at curry hill all suck and are absurdly overpriced. Watch out curry hill. Curry express us gonna F your S!?# up.
Ordered two combos with chicken tikka, one with cauliflower and nava-something and the other with okra and that same nava whatever.
Also ordered a samosa chaat.
Everything was hugeeee. And amazingggg. Best cheap indian in NYC hands down. In fact best indian I've had in nyc period. And it was delivery? Wtf. Yes! It was delivery.
It was very large portions for an incredibly reasonable price (combos – $9.99 and samosa chaat – 6.99). Every dollar was worth it.
The flavors were godly. The depth of flavor was insane. And so well spiced. Like damnnnnn son. So good. I will legitimately never get indian from anywhere else as long as i live here. Period.
Do yourself a favor. Order through the yelp EAT24 app. So damn amazing. And timely.
Fast, cheap Indian food. What more can you expect? It's a little grungy on the inside, but ideally you're getting take-out from this place. They don't have salt lassis here (sad panda), but they do have sweet ones. The platters are more than enough food for one person.
Big portions. Takeout was a bit on the messy side. Food was decent. Priced fair. Has all the standards: Chicken Tikka Marsala, Saag, Naan, etc.
Fast, tasty, cheap, really good Indian food!
In and out within 30 minutes and had a great meal for 2 for only $13.50, including rice, chicken tikka masala, black dal, chole, freshly made garlic naan, and gulab jamun. I could eat plates and plates of their chicken tikka masala! Each table also had jugs of water.
Will definitely be back for dine in and delivery.
