My friend and I were in Decatur on a weekend trip and loved the food so much, we planned our drive back to St. Louis to allow dinner here a second night in a row. The menu is extensive - I was expecting from "Express" in the title that it might have a shorter menu. There are tandoori dishes (the tandoori chicken is exquisite), kormas, vindaloos, tikka masalas, and a host of vegetarian dishes -dal, saag paneer, and much more. The bread selection is unparalled - at least 7 choices, with top honors going to the onion kulcha & the aloo paratha so far - many more to try! Only room to try the kheer for dessert - heavenly! Lovely service both nights & I got to meet one of the owners. I'll be thinking about these meals for a long time, as I scheme my way back to Decatur for Tandoori Express...

Tanja brought us some pita bread and carrot salad to start. That was complementary. We had a couple of cocktails from the bar, which were very good.

The beef they use for this is really tender and delicious. We cannot wait to return to this lovely Ugly Restaurant. :)

One of the reasons I love Mediterranean food is its use of spices and infused flavors. A complimentary carrot salad mixed with yogurt was served with warm pita bread. This was not good, frankly, and was the start of what would end up being an underwhelming experience. I ordered the mixed sampler platter for an appetizer. The only thing worth eating was the falafel and the cigar borek (fried breaded cheese). My entrée was the chicken shish kabobs that were accompanied by rice, a small chargrilled tomato, a chargrilled pepper and an onion salad. The chicken lack any kind of seasoning. Even salt would've help. This was probably the most bland Mediterranean food I've ever experienced. The presentation was grade A but the lack of flavor resulted in a Grade C. Even the baklava was bland. For $60 (including tip) I could've had a much more fulfilling meal.

There's seriously more than enough tables. It was pretty clean. There wasn't a powerful smell like at many Indian restaurants. Classic options. Lots of things made with a good amount of spice. It's about $15 for an entree. That's pretty typical for a locally owned Indian restaurant. I got the Bhindi Masala. This is an eggplant entree made with dry mango powder, and has okra and onions. Meals don't come with bread. The options are a few more bucks to get some naan or roti, but these come with rice at least. Good amount of flavor and spices in the entrees.
