    Veg lunch box: I got paneer tikka, saag, white rice, salad
    Swechha M.

    Every time I am in Somerville, where I grew up as a young girl, I don't the opportunity to get takeout from Curry Express. It is a reminder of home, our beautiful Nepal, where there is flavor in every bite. There is an abundance of options for veg and nonveg food, and they are so timely with the service! The dai's and uncles who run this business understand that people who order are most likely to order it to go since there are only a few booths! But even if you were to dine in, the spice jars, paintings, and aromas of the restaurant bring you right back to Kathmandu Valley. Below is one of the veg lunch box options! Also the famous Nepali "chiya" is a complimentary for every guest! 100/10

    Samosas and Chicken 65

    The man who was working the register was so kind and helpful and brought every dish to us steaming hot, just wonderful! He brought us our items in order and even made sure to check in and ask us how it was. It's a very cute hole in the wall type of restaurant and the flavors and food were AMAZING! I am a harsh critique about food and I feel like these dishes were very well made. -loved the chicken korma saag paneer thali OH WOW -papad snacks were so nice and crunchy tasted fresh -samosas taste home made and healthy! -LOVED THE CHICKEN HALLA NOODLES 10/10 would recommend everything again!

    super yummy food & excellent service - they deliver on spice & portion size. I recommend the chicken vindaloo and tikka masala. when you pick up in person, they give you free chai - they also put some rice pudding in our bag for free! such a lovely surprise :)

    Chicken Biriyani, Saag Paneer, Green Chili Chicken

    This is our new go to Indian take out spot. The prices are reasonable and the food is so fresh it's unbelievable! Make sure you check in on Yelp so you can use their 15% coupon. If you order on their website directly you can also get $3 off. We ordered: 1.) Chicken Biriyani - 5 stars This was definitely the best dish to order here!! The rice and chicken tasted so fresh. 2.) Saag Paneer - 4 stars 3.) Green Chili Chicken - 4 stars. I was expecting a green colored curry but this one tasted more like chicken tikka masala with green chilies. I wasn't complaining. Our ordered came with raita, mini pappadam and a couple of chutneys for free! I can't wait to order from here again and maybe get the Manchurian this time.

    Everything was delicious. Their medium is a robust medium. Unlike some places, each dish had its own unique flavor.

    We love Curry Express. The food is cooked to order and arrives hot and perfectly packed - no leaks, all labeled. We always order about 6 entrees to share family style and various breads. They gave us a small Kheer pudding and some papadums for our large order. How nice! Every item has its own spices and tastes different as they should. The delivery is perfect as well with a very polite driver who calls you to tell you he will be coming onto your porch. Look forward to our next order. Great food!

    Mango lassi and delicious free masala
    Ben W.

    Not only is this the best Indian food I've had in Somerville or Cambridge, the experience and kindness of the employees/owners was such a treat. We had paneer vindaloo, malai kofta, naan, veggie pakora, and mango lassis. The price was amazing as was the quality of the food, far more flavorful than it's more expensive competitors in the area. The sauce on the kofta was incredible, especially paired with the fluffy yet crispy naan. I'm so excited to see such a great and passionate team open this new spot, everything on the menu sounds amazing and I look forward to trying it all. This will certainly be my new go to Indian spot in the area. (Also take advantage of the free masala, so good!!)

    Panneer Tikka masala

    Excellant presentation. Very tasty food Indian food, and that's coming from an Indian who grew up in India. People are very very good. Maybe the best Indian restaurant experience in Somerville.

    Didn't have a ton to eat here, but everything I had was delicious. Service was attentive, warm, and…read morefriendly, which added to the great experience. The restaurant was comfy; there was an electric fireplace on the wall which made the room feel homey. We got fried pork momos, which were delicious and juicy. I was interested in trying the C-style, but we had a non-spice eater at the table. I got the pork chili from the appetizer menu and garlic naan for my meal, and my companions got the chow mein and sekuwa. The chow mein looked standard and sekewa was grilled chicken served with puffed rice (looked like rice krispies). Everyone was happy with their meals, but I especially loved mine. There were slices of pork belly in a flavorful sauce with tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Note that the pork belly still has the skin on it (which I personally love). My only complaint was at medium, the food seemed mild, but I'll be clearer of my spice preferences next time. I would definitely come back specifically for the pork chili!

    First time trying Nepalese food. This story tells us why some cuisines aren't popular (in China)…read more.. Papad: A complimentary crispy snack served before the meal. A combination of the texture of Mexican tortilla chips and the flavor of Indonesian shrimp chips. As someone whose ancestors migrated to Indonesia (half Hakka), I've eaten shrimp chips since childhood, so it felt instantly familiar. The condiments were tamarind sauce and pickled onions. The former was rich, thick, and refreshingly sweet and sour, strangely reminiscent of Cantonese roast goose with plum sauce, a perfect match for the crispy snack; the latter also had a predominantly sweet and sour tomato flavor, but the subsequent strange taste and spiciness of the paprika was too much for a Cantonese person like me. Mango Lassi: Absolutely delicious!!! Lassi is Nepalese yogurt, with a very smooth and delicate texture; the sweetness of the mango was naturally rich and not overpowering, not masking the rich sourness of the yogurt itself. Writing this review, I finally understood why I loved it--it's basically a yogurt version of Hongkongese mango pomelo sago... Mo:mo (Steamed) - Pork: Nepalese version of xiaolongbao小籠包 (soup dumplings). The filling had a moderate concentration of spices, allowing you to taste the meat's natural flavor; however, the skin near the bottom had cracks, so there were no soup. The dipping sauce, Achar, was interesting, with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, the spiciness of garlic and ginger, and a hint of nuts, making it overall refreshing. However, what might be hard for Chinese people to understand is that steamed buns are supposed to be eaten fresh out of the pot, so why was the dipping sauce cold? Reheating it at home with the sauce made it much more palatable. Nepali Thaali - Goat: The standard vegetarian option included lentil soup (Dal), curried potato and cauliflower (Tarkari), stir-fried vegetables (Saag), pickled radish cubes (Achaar), long-grain rice (Bhat), ghee, and a slice each of white radish, carrot, and cucumber, plus an extra serving of goat curry. In short, it was a bunch of spice paste with rice. I won't judge whether it was good or bad; I just really didn't like it. The spices were extremely complex and intense; towards the end, I even felt dizzy and questioned my existence, completely disoriented by what I was eating--it felt so strange, like something that shouldn't exist on Earth... The Dal seemed to use more mung beans than lentils, with a slightly burnt and bitter aftertaste; both vegetables in the Tarkari were overcooked, but the curry itself was rather weak and bland; the Saag seemed to use mustard greens, similar to stir-fried greens in Chinese cuisine but on the oilier side, with dried chilies that only added aroma, not spiciness. The curried goat meat, however, was quite good, savory and rich, the meat's flavor finally making it taste less like herbs. Muttering to myself: Each has its own beauty, let's all appreciate beauty together...

The Curry Shrimp was insane delicious, the Tikka Masala was good, Medium spice is slightly spicy for those that dont love it, just a heads up! I can deal most often times but this night my mouth was doing its own thing & my lips were on fire, LOL But still ate the whole thing because the flavor was spot on and I was just unable to stop shoveling it into my mouth. Ordered 2 pieces of Naan and wish I got 100, Its such a simple item but OMG I could eat it all night, its like potato chips, LOL I went deep fried momo and might want to try steamed next time, we will see... They were good, but I didnt love them, Just way too greasy for me but that might just have been because of the extreme delay in delivery they sat in that grease!!! Cant wait to try more thing again, and now Im drooling, LOL
