All fake Reviews. Horrible service, Soup was so much smelly. Seriously Guys? Very lazy people. Looks like backend team who are chefs or so... are preparing everything from scratch...I am now doubting their authenticity...request County to please close such restaurants.

Varsha Sajja

Overpriced and Overhyped place. The server doesn’t even know how the items in the menu are made. Not authentic Chennai dishes, not even close taste. Very bad experience, noticed egg shells in the biryani.

Not just a movie, but a good place to eat. My family and I stopped here on a whim, service was great, the place was clean and they were quick to get our orders out. The rice tasted great, the paneer was cooked well, all the food had a good and fresh flavor, everyone in my group was very happy. Serving size is good, everyone was full and we had some to take with. The outdoor signage could be better but that doesn’t take away from the quality of the food. Id come back if I am in the area and looking for Indian.

The food is overpriced for the quality. The butter chicken was sour, probably there was excess tomato in it. We orders a paneer hare pyaz, the word hare means green in Hindi. But all we got was butter paneer, a brown curry. The lamb biryani had a stingy quantity of lamb, mostly bone pieces. The chilli chicken and baby corn appetizer were very good but at $15 or so a piece that’s a premium. We learnt that the management had changed and the restaurant will be called inde spice. Looking at the good reviews for this place it seems like the new management is doing a bad job. Not coming here again.

I'm a novice when it comes to Indian food. I have had some very bad Indian food. But this was excellent. So good. So flavorful. Excellent rice. The waiter recommended the chicken tiki masala and lamb Josh Rogan. Both were so delicious. It's BYOB. So bring your own wine. But definitely try it. Naan was excellent.

I had ordered the chicken tikka masala, but was served the butter chicken. Inquiring with the server, I was advised that two are nearly the same with a chuckled Response. Unfortunately, for him, I know the difference between the two dishes.Butter chicken Was dry and had no moisture and Hence very chewy.The dosa left a lot to be desired with the texture or quality of the core ingredients, not on par with its south Indian competitors in ChicagolandThis was my first visit to Chennai express bistro

This joint is confused. The menu is from the previous owners from what the disgruntled waiter told us. The new menu is not it bro. Just save yourself the hassle.
