We are repeat customers. The food is very good however they are a little light on the spice... you may have to ask them to step the heat up. I mostly order from the Himalayan menu.. chicken momos are delicious. The chili chicken entree is my favorite. The szechuan chicken is also good. From the regular part of the menu I like the chicken kadai curry and the chicken 65 curry. The chicken pakoras are fine. Garlic naan is good. Husband likes the chicken tikka saag but always says it needs more spice. He also likes their dosas. Overall a very a solid yummy choice. read more

Some good menu items; some not so good. They seem to be working out some issues with new staff. Worth giving the place a try though.

Just went to this spot and sat down at the table inside, 3 of us ready to drop $100+ as we're really hungry. No one at the counter. A dude sleeping in the front. We awkwardly wake this guy up so we can get some service. He disappears and after many long minutes someone else comes out & say we can't eat in, that it's "takeout only" even though there is no indication of this anywhere. We ask why there is a table for dining and he says "I don't know, it's just there" Way to be completely unprofessional and also miss out on a $100+ tab, dude read more

I like this place until today's incident... I ordered food from Uber Eats and described them my preference in notes... for some reason, they didn't receive my note... I'm vegetarian and they gave me chicken... this is NOT acceptable for people who do not eat meat, and any Indian restaurant is expected to know that. When I contacted the person, his attitude was very much like it's my fault. And they're not open to update menu, so that such errors doesn't happen for future customers. I'm not asking for refund, was asking to fix menu, for e.g. be clear about veg and non-veg items, which any restaurant is expected to take seriously. Hope the owner reads and understand the mistake here. read more

I visited this spot after hearing it was under new ownership, and I'm so glad I did! The food is delicious, especially the momo and goat curry.I tried their Jhol momo and it was really good, flavorful, and comforting. I plan on placing a small catering order for the upcoming long weekend because I know everyone will love it. Just a heads-up, this place is takeout, delivery, and catering only. Excited to keep coming back and see this place grow! read more

Little India Express - Himalayan Chicken Platter - Indian Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

Finally, the elusive tandoori momos done well. These can be the best version of momos if done well but have been so difficult to find. Little India Express gets them almost spot on. Tried the chicken and paneer tandoori momos. Ordered via Grabull; the order took nearly 45 mins to be ready, but it was worth the wait. A+ for the filling inside. The cilantro and onion topping, sprinkling of chaat masala, and the lemon/lime wedges provided were all nice touches. A couple of small critiques (and hence the 4 *s instead of 5): - The smoky "tandoori" flavor could have been amped up more. Although the momos had char spots on their skin, the charred flavor wasn't very pronounced. - The momos were so red, it appeared that food coloring was used. If so, it is not necessary and would be better done without. - Serving the momos on skewers with some charred green peppers and onions would be a nice enhancement. Aside from that, these totally hit the spot and will 100% satisfy a craving for tandoori momos - and it's much quicker than making them at home so would absolutely get them again. read more

We decided to try this Restaurant again and this time we only tried momos as momos of this restaurant are always good. We ordered Veggie as well as chicken momos. Both the momos were good and amazing. Everyone loved the momos. read more

Food is always delicious! Prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. Able to adapt spiciness to your liking. Our go to spot for Indian takeout read more

Stopped in yesterday for a quick bite to go (chicken naanwich and Himalayan chicken platter). Was very disappointed with food. Naanwich was tasteless. Chicken chili from platter was congealed and small. Chow mien was also tasteless. Not recommended. read more

I was looking forward to trying this spot. Food (garlic naan, saag, chicken tikka, samosas) wasn't bad, but several spices that were used throughout were hard as a rock and could not even be cut by a knife. Not an ideal texture to bite down on. Will be looking elsewhere. read more

Little India Express has THE BEST momos in the whole state of MA. We've already been there twice in one week. The new owners have added a variety of momos to their menu. Sukuti (dry meat) momo is the best and what a brilliant idea. I'm excited to try tandoori momo next. Also, juju dhau (homemade special yogurt) is a must. They also have great choices of Indian sweets. This place has amazing food and amazing service. read more

Little India Express - Sukuti momo - Indian Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

This place where momo used to be fantastic, but something has changed. Perhaps new management, because now the momo tastes terrible. I couldn't even finish one; they're going in the trash. I paid over $40 for three buff momo, but couldn't eat more than one piece. It was absolutely awful. I won't be returning there, ever. read more

Excellent. Gobi Manchurian. Tandoori Momos. Himalayan Noodles. So great and impressive food for such a non-descript location! But it's Covid time- who cares? These are the kind of places that Lexington needs- small, great food, reasonable prices. And interesting! read more

Wow, what a great little Indian restaurant! They have lots of the "traditional" Indian dishes like butter chicken, vindaloo, tikka masala, aloo, gobi, etc. They also have some dishes that have a Chinese influence to them, like chili chicken and Himalayan momos and chow mein. We ended up ordering SIX different main dishes because it all sounded so good and everything was delicious! I like vegetarian dishes and really liked the mixed veg (many different veg in a curry sauce) and the sag chana (I think), which was chickpeas cooked in a spinach and garlic sauce (like saag paneer, but with chickpeas instead of cheese). The chicken vindaloo was excellent and had a bit of heat to it--perfect! The sukuti momos were really interesting and had somewhat of a bitter flavor with the topping. The dumpling was full of meat and flavor and really tasty. Overall an excellent flavor experience and I would definitely go back! read more

Amazing food as always because it's our go food when no one wants to cook. The one time they forgot rice I called (because my son eats plain rice as his meal sometimes) and they were here with a large rice in 10min. Thank you guys! You do great. read more

I'm a sucker for their chili momos and chow mein. If you're going to order takeout, plan to do so 45 mins before because they are slow. The wait is definitely worth it. The food is bomb. There's nothing that I have tried that I haven't liked. Johl momos , chicken momos, and butter chicken are all very tasty. read more

Great great Indian food. Ordered: * saag paneer (it was very well done) * tikka masala w/ chicken (really good per my wife, a. It too spicy at medium) * paneer pakora (side) - yummy * gobi manchurian (cauliflower in sauce) - this is absolutely a must. Some of the best flavors * spinach and paneer nan - good (although this ive had better) * garlic naan - very good per wife Will absolutely come back! read more

Ordered from takeout a few times. Best Indian food, didn't leave my stomach hurting and it was very tasty.

Every time I order from here, I feel comforted and reminded of home. This place is every bit authentic and I feel so blessed that they are located close to me! Almost every dish I've ordered has consistently been outstanding and I find myself coming back for more. The flavors are simple yet delicious enough that you can tell it feels homemade and with love. My favorites are the Panner Momo, Veg Biryani & Hariyali Kofta, which I normally ask to be made extra spicy and boy do they pack a punch! Currently, however, being a pregnant momma I'm averse to lot of foods especially the ones overpowering in spices and this place has been amongst the few place I can still eat from. We ordered Panner Momo, Dal Makhni, Chicken Fried Rice and despite being averse to all kinds of fried food, the crunchiness from the fresh vegetables, the well cooked chicken and the non greasy fried rice cradled me back to some of my best memories of India! Bliss! Oh they also made me a salt lassi which wasn't on the menu so more brownies point for being extra accommodating! read more

Who knew this little take out spot would be overflowing with flavor. Everything was super fresh, based on other reviews. We ordered way more than we needed for dinner because we couldn't choose, but we got to eat it all over again the next day. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered butter chicken,paneer makhani with garlic naans, laccha parantha. The butter chicken and paneer gravy/sauce is good but the quantity was small, chicken was dry and not enough. No chutney or salad was given. The garlic naan also didnt taste that fresh. For the price. I expected better. read more

The Himalayan food will change your life! I've been ordering Indian from Little India Express and it's good.. but I started looking at the rest of their menu. The tandoori momos (Himalayan dumplings) are amazing, it's impossible to overstate how delicious they are. I got their Himalayan chowmein, also fantastic. Now I'm on a journey to try all of the Himalayan food.. and you should be too! read more

Nice indian food, I love their chicken korma with peshawari Naan! Staffs are friendly & great service! We Will ve there again! read more

This is the best Indian food I've ever enjoyed. Little hole in the wall, but so excellent!! Everything is delicious. Not to be missed

When in the mood for Indian cuisine I usually go to a local regular. Then I usually regret it. But I decided to go a little further down the road. I ended up at little India. I was soo glad I did. Delicious curry, Tikka Marsala and the chicken was fresh not dried out. The order was all online and picking up the order was easy. Good portion sizes and prices. read more

-ve rating Never order chicken or mutton biryani form this place. I ordered mutton biryani, what I got is veg pulav mixed with sweet mutton curry... the taste was really bad. They charged $18.00 for mutton biryani sorry "left over veg pulav mixed with mutton curry" When I called back to give review the lady was very rude. read more

The butter chicken was absolutely tasty and chicken tikka masala was very close. I have not tasted other items so can't tell about them.

I recently found this little hole-in-the-wall Indian takeout place. The food was fresh and delicious! Luckily the woman at the register warned us when asking about the spice level we wanted with our dish. I got mild-to-medium, and it was a nice level of spice. My husband ordered his dish medium, and it was plenty spicy. Chicken tikka masala was juicy and flavorful. We also had saag paneer, gobi manchurian, paneer pakora, samosa, and an assortment of naan. Highly recommended! read more

I'm indian so trust me when I say this place rocks! I love the food that they make. It is definitely good and fresh! I really appreciate that they cater to some custom requests in terms of spices and taste. It is like a local sorta store. Not much to dine in at all but great for delivery! My family orders food from here on a near weekly basis. Try it and I'm sure you won't regret it. read more

This is one of our go-to places for dinner takeout. We usually get the chicken vindaloo which is very flavorful, the veggie samosas which are delicious and the channa battura with fresh and steamy batturas . Make sure to get the green mint sauce with the samosas. Consistently good quality. read more

Very delicious food and great delivery! Also pricing is very reasonable! Will definitely order from here again :)

Delicious! A Nepalese friend told us about this place and two years later we finally tried it. Buff Mo Mo tandoori and Paneer Mo Mo steamed, so good! Saag goat and bangain bartha super yum. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered yellow dal and garlic naan from this place. Yellow dal was too watery and tasteless and garlic naan was not cooked. How can an Indian restaurant mess up with dal and naan?? Rice served with dal was very small portion and taste sour ( not fresh ) . I paid $16 for it. The lady on the phone had really bad attitude and rude. God bless this place. Don't recommend this place , there are lot of better choice around. read more

Very good Indian food. They are reliable and the korma and tikka masala are especially good. I like Little India Express better than the place in the center of woburn because the other place goes too heavy on the salt. read more

Was visiting in Winchester and my friend brought me here for dinner one evening. The food was delicious, plentiful and authentic. The owners were very gracious and honest (accidentally overcharged us and ran out to catch us before we left). Tried Uttappam for the first time and I am hooked. I highly recommend this place! read more

Tiny little take out place with delicious food. Ordered some samosas and Chicken 65, which despite the bizarre name is damn tasty. They did a good job of dialing up the heat when I asked. read more

Great flavors! So much better than many Indian restaurants in Greater Boston, because while they serve the usual North Indian foods, they have extra entrees as well, that I've not seen elsewhere, that are much more interesting and tasty. Like Channa Sag (Chick peas with spinach sauce) and Hariyali Kofta (fried balls in green sauce) Both were delicious and I look forward to trying more. So glad they moved to the neighborhood! read more

We get take-out (the only option, really) from here at least once a month. And in all that time, I have never had a bad dish. I especially like their Aloo Bindi, the Gobi Manchurian, the Malai Kofta, and the Navrattan Korma. (Obviously, I order only vegetarian, but my husband orders their meat dishes and says the Butter Chicken is great.) I like that their Peshwari Nan has cherries in it as well as the usual coconut and nuts. Really, I can't find any faults with Little India Express! read more

We've been ordering from India Express for a while but it seems like quality has decreased lately, maybe it's because of Friday's rush, but Masala was watered down (flour was added for volume) and chicken tandoori was dry (probably prepared earlier and reheated). I would order from IE again but please make sure don't the corners and deliver consistent quality experience. read more
