I had such high hopes for this adventure! Never tried Indian food before. However, the food was so spicy that it did not have much flavor. Is that common in Indian food? Mom tried the chicken marsala and the meat itself was pretty good. I had a vegetable mix, but it was so hot. I could not enjoy it. Those yellow rice was weird, but I mixed it with the sauce from the vegetables For dessert they give you a little cup of banana pudding. I think it is to help you put out the flames. But it is just canned pudding. Another review mentioned butter chicken, but that was not an available option today. It also said garlic naan. And that was not an option either. You can kind of tell that this place is just run by a couple of gentlemen and it's kind ofpieced together. They were very polite. read more

Curry Express Indian Bistro - Its label said vibrant vegetable with sauce.very spicy hot. - Indian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Definitely the best Indian food in and around Rockwall. Every time I go, I get something different, and I've never been disappointed. The rice and naan are perfect sides, and the appetizers and entrees are delicious every time. Portions are plentiful. I'm always greeted w/ great service and a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. I would definitely recommend to anyone read more

Curry Express Indian Bistro - Daal curry w/ white rice and a vegetable samosa. - Indian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

1st timer at Curry Express. If you're not wanting to take a nap after you eat, maybe save them for dinner because they do not skimp on portions. Raja was the kind gentleman who took my order today, which was the combo #2 with goat curry & chili chicken. Note that all lunches come with rice, naan & the dessert of the day. Not bad for $12.98. I have no complaint with anything I ordered, but do advise that you're careful if you order the goat because there will be bits of bone. There's a little bit of everything for everyone here, vegetarian & non-vegetarian options to choose from. I actually recommend them because of the buffet lunch style they have, as it affords a good variety of dishes to try for those who may not want to commit to a full order of something they aren't sure they'll enjoy & can do it without breaking the bank. Only downsides to this place is that there isn't much seating if you wanted to dine in for a party & the restrooms are first come first served (one stall for each gender - MW). read more

Curry Express Indian Bistro - Combo #2 - Indian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

This place gives a very hole in the wall vibe and we all know food in those type of places are always really good and this place isn't an exception. I love their lunch special, you get so much for a good price and the food is delicious. I recommend the saag paneer, goat curry, and the butter chicken. Get raita if it's too spicy. The service is nice too. read more

Very good authentic Indian food. Only have done take out. Cannot comment on service or ambiance

Pretty mid compared to other Indian buffet set ups I've had but it does the trick in a pinch.

The Tika masala is always soooo good here. I've tried it in other places where it just doesn't compare to how good they make it here. I highly recommend trying it! read more

Such a treat and always supper yummy. Butter chicken is thick and delicious. Naan is also super great ! Highly recommend

Ordered through Door Dash. When the delivery person got there, the restaurant wouldn't let him leave with the food because the restaurant prices were higher than listed on door dash. I can't imagine Door Dash just goes in and assigns random prices to restaurants food so I would assume the restaurant didn't update their prices like they should have. Instead of allowing the driver to deliver the food, they made us give up one item we ordered so the price fell within their "in store" prices. The message I got, hoping they weren't just going to serve my food to someone else, is that they would rather waste food than worry about customer satisfaction. I will never order from them again. My poor door dash delivery person got caught in the middle. Update your door dash prices and practice price transparency... if advertised at a certain price, sell the food for that price. Instead, they wanted me to pay an additional almost $20 dolllars for food I had already ordered and paid for. There could have been a better solution. read more

My first time last night... was going to eat there, but realized they don't serve beer/alcohol. I did notice they allow you to BYOB. So ordered a great curry and Chicken Tiki Masala, with rice, and purchase two orders of naan. Was so surprised when we got home. The food was "warm" at medium spice. A touch hot for my wife, but I loved it. Bottom line is I wish I would have found this place sooner (moved here 6 months ago). I will be back very soon - Awesome Flavors! read more

Not a fan. Nothing tasted good here. Mango lassi is very watered down. The curries lack flavor or depth. Won't be ordering from here again

The chicken masala was amazing as well as their naan. My husband ordered the lamb masala and enjoyed it immensely. The business does appear to be a family business so extra points for that. Atmosphere and service is okay. read more

The very best Indian food in northeast Dallas. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and polite staff. I recommend Curry Express to anyone - if you can handle spicy food. read more

the food was yummy! we got the butter chicken with garlic naan. best indian food in rockwall!

Good food. Service was good as well. I did a takeout although I wish the food was a little bit more spicier.

My family and I have been going here for years. It's a family run place with excellent food and excellent people. Highlights for us include samosas, chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, and aloo gobI...oh, and the mango lassi. read more

Such amazing flavors! I'm always so impressed how the chicken almost melts in your mouth in the tikka masala. Seriously, so delicious! Such great quality, you have a lifelong customer. read more

Take out is convenient, call ahead for your order. Loved the vindolo dishes, any paneer dish also good, wish the portion is larger though. read more

I suggest if you haven't tried them especially, you eat their lunch menu specials! Went there on dinner hours and it's more expensive for less food for sure. None the less delicious as always! read more

I wanted to love this place. Unfortunately for me, it just wasn't great. The naan and veggie samosas were good. But the chicken masala was very bland and watery. It wasn't any better than grocery store sauce. And the chicken 65 was just gross. It was soggy fatty chicken that was goopy. It wasn't good at all. I was also disappointed they did not offer chicken pakora and suggested that chicken 65 and said it was close to the same thing. But it wasn't close at all. Anyway the service was good so I'm trying to be fair in my 3 star review. But the food is nothing to rave about. read more

The food is to die for. It does have its off nights depending on who is cooking, but the food is the best indian I've ever had. The workers are nice and work hard. Its also clean and has beautiful decor. I always try and go here when i have the chance, 10/10 read more

Amazing and authentic cuisine. Enjoyed with a large family gathering we got to taste many items and everyone wanted leftovers!

Really pathetic representation of Indian food. Those of you who think this is Indian food, you are sadly mistaken. The tandoori chicken was reheated and burnt. The flavor was off putting. Inedible. read more

Very good! The Naan was perfectly crisp and soft at the same time. The palak paneer and chicken tika are my new favs.

Surprisingly good! Went in with low expectations and we were pleasantly surprised - especially my super picky vegetarian sister. Went on a weekday during lunch and noticed a lot of take out. Maybe it's better known for that as we were the only guests there. It also explains the long time it took to get served. But, the staff were super attentive and the food was delicious. There was enough left over to get some doggy bags. read more

Tried them for the 1st time as I'm new to the area. They offer lunch combo's that are reasonably priced. I'm assuming you have to pick what's already available for your entrée as I wasn't able to pick order what I wanted to be made at that time. The flavor was good, but the rice was a little dry, and the naan bread was very soggy. This may be better if you eat there although I was only five minutes away from my home. I'm also willing to try again for dinner to be able to order exactly what I want. But so far I feel like it's decent for the price, will try again. read more

I've eaten here several times over the past 5 years. The interior definitely needs to be deep cleaned and updated but the food makes up for it. Their Tikka Masala is pretty standard. I would recommend branching out for the less americanized dishes. They are very favorful! I also love their samosas! read more

If you haven't tried cuisine from India before, they use Old World spices that you might not have encountered before. This Indian kitchen has been here in Rockwall, Texas for a while, offering authentic dishes. In a stripmall along Goliad Street, behind QuikTrip gas. Plenty of parking near the front. Inside, seating for 24 with booths for 4, and small tables for 2. The Chicken Tikka Marsala is grilled chicken breast, cut in slightly bigger than bite-sized pieces, served in a deep bowl of warm & slightly spicy Marsala sauce. (You can try Chicken Tikka as a kebab, also) I had the VegBariyani rice dish, full of bite sized veggies, and with pungent Cardomom spice. This was great, and settled well, I slept good that night. Next day I reheated leftovers for lunch, still tasty! Service was good, I was the last diner, on a slow night. I think they were going home, but then I showed up. Staff was pleasant, and quickly went about cleaning after my meal was served. Price was not too high, servings were generous. I will return on a colder winter day to sample the hotter spices! This is a big menu to explore. read more

I got the butter chicken and it was horrible. It was bland and watery. I was so excited to try this place because I recently moved into the area, I saw that the reviews were pretty good so i wanted to give it a try. I was so disappointed, the rice was so bland and not a good consistency. The butter chicken was bland and watery and I even found bones in mine. Overall do not recommend, this is not good indian food idk what else everybody else is on bc it was ASS. They were super nice tho. read more

My only regret was that I didn't take pictures of our food! Reviews following speak for themselves. Apart from delicious dishes cooked to order including spice level, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. I felt like I was in a home stay in a families kitchen. The staff that waited on us allowed us to stay after close to finish our dinner and inquired about the nature of our visit and our time in town. We ate until we were stuffed with plenty left over to take home. The staff joked that we had, "lunch tomorrow." Thanks everyone. read more

Curry Express Indian Bistro - American idol of naan - Indian Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Tired of the same old places, I hit up Yelp for a new place to do lunch in Rockwall. I spied this gem with solid 5 star reviews and over 100 of them! I cook a mean Tikka Masala--it's my hubs favorite dish and all my friends fav too so I'm throwing down the gauntlet! When I walked into Curry Express the first thing I noticed was the delicious aroma. It smells just like my house when I spend all day prepping spices for the Garam Masala and letting naan rise for an Indian feast! I knew it was going to be good right away. The nose knows! The interior is small and cozy, the staff very friendly and charming. The gentleman serving lunch at the steam table even told me exactly how to get my naan to blister up as light and fluffy as his (I ALWAYS have trouble with that!). Hubs just needs to buy me a wood fired clay oven. XD And the food...Chicken Tikka Masala so delicious even my picky husband was smiling happy happy happy. He also tried the Chilli Chicken but the Tikka was hands down the favorite. The Saag and Vindaloo looked really good too! I'll try those next! Accompanied by a choice of white or yellow spiced basmati rice, we both opted for the incredible fragrant yellow rice. It was beautiful-I had a WHOLE star anise in my portion and I very much enjoyed trying to puzzle out the other wonderful spices here. Saffron :) Cilantro :) Delish :) The naan is perfect in every way. Light, fluffy, chewy, the perfect spoon for leftover sauce and rice. Yum. Could eat all da This incredible lunch was $6.99. SIX. NINETY. NINE. That's just insane, folks. 2 entrees $8.99, 3 $9.99. TONS of options for vegetarians too! Curry Express Indian Bistro is delicious. I'm a believer. No frills, just great food that tastes like you made it yourself. I'm going back for more tomorrow, for real. read more

Love this place! Whenever I'm in the area I'd love to go here. The only thing I don't like is they are closed from 230 to 5. Sometimes I'm in the area between that time. read more

Food is good however they use clover for online ordering. Clove denied my credit card twice, then later (after paying with a different card) i saw that my first card was in fact charged twice. read more

Doesn't seem like much but one day I decided to try it. It has now become my regular hot spot. My family and I love ordering their food. I have got them hooked. I try to introduce my friends and close family members to this place whenever I can. The food is fresh, the naan (bread) is fresh. The spices are so amazing and just always hit the right place in my belly. I am always satisfied whenever I go and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend. read more

Great discovery after the Pho place across the street forgot my order. All their food is fresh, curries, biryanis and other dishes. Chai isn't sweet which very good specially when you don't take any sugar in your system. Owner and co owner ( the chef) are both Very friendly. I have never tried their lunch specials only their dinner ala carte. They do close after lunch then opens again at 5! My new Indian go to place! read more

Four stars for lack of social distancing and no masks worn by employees. What's up with that???? With that said, the food was exceptional and really deserves five stars! The best garlic naan ever! The spicy Dahl was delicious and the mushroom dish was perfectly cooked and well seasoned..... A tasty combination of mushrooms and peas. The samosas were generous and potato/Pea filling was over the top.... delicious blend of spices tucked inside a beautiful crispy brown crust. So glad to have found this great option for authentic Indian food in Rockwall... please get your act together in your response to COVID-19 so that we can revisit! Everything tasted fresh and delicious... When they ask for the level of spiciness you prefer, be aware that spicy is spicy! Loved it! ***UPDATE***. The owner, Raj, personally reached out to explain they have shields and masks which they are using going forward and apologized they were not in use at the time of our visit on 7/25/2020. Thank you Raj....better safe than sorry! read more

Tikki masala is really delicious along with their garlic naan. This dish really hits the spot on a winter night.

I cannot express enough how amazing the staff was! They were super helpful and educational when it came to explaining the menu to my husband and I. this Was my first time ever having Indian cuisine and I will say I am extremely pleased with the outcome. the food was extremely tasteful and the sweet lady that checked on us knew the menu so well and explained each of the dishes in detail. I cannot express enough how good the food and the atmosphere was. this family business is just what we need and was totally worth the trip. Thank you for the amazing service and amazing food. I will definitely be back!! read more
