Excellent Indian food in the Permian basin! The staff is fabulous and the kitchen is producing the most nuanced and vibrant dishes! Such charming people and delightful food. They work with fresh herbs rare to the region and the treatment of every dish is just amazing. Probably the best restaurant in the Permian basin hands down. Absolutely love! read more

Just what the nurse ordered!! Comfort food at its best, all in the luxury of your own home!!! Places like this that offer delivery are amazing when you can't make it in!!! read more

Great place we just happened to try. Cauliflower and paneer butter masala was excellent. We will be back to try more of their extensive menu. Don't let the location scare you. It was worth it. read more

Some of the best Indian ever in Midland, TX?! Yes, it's true. I had Palak Paneer aka Saag Paneer. I ordered online and it didn't allow me to select a spice level but was my exact preference which is a 4 on a scale of 1-5 - so it had a wonderful kick. There were chiles and aromatics and lots of onions swimming in the spinachy goodness, and big, fat chunks of paneer- they did not skimp. My date had the lentils- can't remember which one but it was insanely delicious too- also had a nice kick. Each entree came with a giant pile of rice. And the butter naan was so yummy too. The portions are enormous, and the price is cheap. We're in town visiting and will certainly come back next time. Since we DoorDashed- I have no idea if the restaurant is nice or the service is friendly- doesn't matter, the food is excellent and cheap- which is enough for me! 10/10 read more

Good food & service at reasonable price! Good vegetarian dishes and lots of choices Went last night restaurant was full. They also cater for parties read more

Food was delicious, service was good. The place is sort of odd being located in a small hotel, but it works. I will definitely go back read more

In west Texas, there is a distinct lack of variety in cuisine. Burgers, Pizza, Southern, Mexican, Tex-Mex, Cuban, Americanized Chinese & Americanized Italian. That is a fairly exhaustive list. Therefore, it is with considerable joy and no small amount of relief, that I can report that Pista Express is a superb choice for anyone wishing to break from the usual fare of the area. The food is excellent, and the service is professional; succinct yet welcoming. If authenticity is your concern, dither not, for Pista Express was recommended to me by a Gujarati co-worker of mine. As for recommendations, I have had the Butter Chicken & Tikka Masala (both lamb & chicken). Each accompanied by Garlic Naan & Mango Lassi. Everything was delicious. My co-worker recommended the Chana Masala, and while I did not heed his advice (due to personal dislike of chickpeas), I nevertheless find it a worthwhile recommendation. Tips: 1 Always get the Garlic Naan & Mango Lassi (yogurt drink). They complement any entree you may decide on. 2 Know that when they ask how hot you want your food, the scale is Indian not American. This means that mild will still have some heat while moderate will be legitimately spicy (by American standards). Pista Express is not ideally located, being in a Baymont hotel located near the airport about halfway between Odessa & Midland. Fortunately, they are on UberEats, albeit at a premium. In conclusion, if you like Indian cuisine or wish to broaden your horizons & don't mind a short drive or using UberEats, I highly recommend Pista Express. You will not be disappointed. read more

I finally tried Pista Express after waiting awhile to take the plunge. The location is less than ideal, but I was able to order take out, which arrived in a timely manner with a completely correct order. I had the chicken tikka masala. It was surprisingly spicy--either I've only had white people chicken tikka masala or these folks like the extra punch. Either way, the flavor was there, and I enjoyed it. The rice seemed fresh and fluffy. I had samosas too--they were delicious, crispy, savory, and the sauce that came with it was a refreshing counterpart to the heaviness of the samosa. I got egg rolls for the kids; they were ok. I wasn't expecting it to be amazing considering it's a Indian restaurant, not Chinese. My favorite thing was the garlic naan. It was incredible. There was tons of flavor, and it was great for dipping into sauces. Overall, I highly recommend this place for take out. It's definitely the best Indian food I've had in Midland, but it rivals local Indian restaurants I've had elsewhere. read more

Wonderful, authentic cuisine and polite, professional staff who were very informative and welcoming. I appreciate the very casual, practical ambience so I would never feel out of place even after a long day at work. read more

Nice service but the food is questionable. Chicken definitely is a mystery. I order the Tikka Masala and it's definitely flavorful/spicy but the chicken is not so great. As soon as I tasted it I knew something was definitely off putting. read more

First time trying Indian food and I was impressed. The food there is so good. I went a few times and tried something different every time and it never disappointed. Food was delicious and absolutely flavorful. I've had the two different Goat curries, butter chicken and chicken vindaloo and all were amazing. The garlic naan is so good too. read more

Good flavor, good portions. Love having this as an alternative to the other indian restaurant across town. I ordered for delivery and had two meals out my dishes. Garlic naan: good! Not salty, definitely garlicky. I had four pieces, good thickness Shrimp 65? : this was my favorite! I was nervous but SO happy I ordered. Salty( in a good way) flavorful, spicy yet fresh. Can taste hints of the yogurt and the cilantro give it a clean feel. Good size. Chicken tikka masala: good, nothing out of this world but good. Needed maybe a smidge more salt? Overall very pleased. Will order again. I think dishes are a little overpriced but will be returning, especially for the shrimp. read more

This is by far the best Indian food I've had in West Texas, or Texas for that matter. I even had friends who moved directly from India who were looking for an accurate place with authentic food and they can confirm this is it. I recommend the butter chicken, garlic naan, and chili honey cauliflower. I order from here almost every weekend. So delicious. read more

WOW, I am from Denver and have eaten at many different Indian restaurants and I am not lying when I say that this is some of the most authentic and best tasting Indian food I have ever had. The service is excellent and friendly, lots of great items to choose from, I had the Mango Lassi drink which was delicious, then for my appetizer I had the Spinach and Onion Pakoda (the seasoning and flavor is amazing) and then for my entree I had the Malai Kofta (this is a fried potatoes dish in a creamy curry sauce) you can taste the flavors of the the coconut , curry and turmeric and the food makes it feel like as if you were in India . This place has so many great menu items and looking forward to eating here again very soon. Don't let the looks fool you, this place is great. read more

According to the Gujarati who brought me here, this is the closest you can get to authentic Indian food without 18 hours of travel. They have Halal and vegetarian options for the devout. Highly recommend the paneer chili! read more

It was my first time eating at Pista Express. A polite and friendly staff, minimal time spent in taking and serving orders, and a relaxed restaurant atmosphere! The food was very aromatic, filling, and tasty ! Goat curry medium spice was very flavorful and it comes with white rice! I also ordered the garlic naan it was perfectly cooked! And the samosas were crunchy on the outside and soft n savory on the inside! Will definitely go back again! read more

If you like Indian food, I recommend this place. The food is authentic. The food is delicious & spicy. The staff was nice and friendly.

This is not an exaggeration. This is THE BEST food I have ever had. I ordered their butter chicken (I got it extra spicy) and garlic naan bread. It tasted like heaven on earth. The service was attentive as it's a small area and quiet. The gentlemen working there are very kind and willing to answer questions on food. Definitely gonna be a regular. The only downside is the drinks are all bottled (water too, so it costs money) If you have never had Indian food, please try this place. I hadn't tried it until I went here and can say with full confidence that I LOVE Indian food. read more

Ordered it for the second time in three years via DoorDash and did not disappoint. We got the Chicken65, paneer butter masala, and butter chicken all Indian Spicy.

authentic indian food, some of the best i've been able to find in texas, the spicy wasn't very spicy if you're someone who enjoys your mouth on fire, however they do have an indian spicy that i didn't try just cause i was worried it'd be too hot based off of a previous experience at another indian restaurant. the service was impeccable, we were helped right away and the worker who brought our food was very nice as well. i will 1000000% be going here again! read more
