Chennai Express - An Authentic Indian Cuisine

Visited with my husband on Friday evening after a 40-minute drive, and this place was absolutely worth it! Even 30 minutes before closing, it was packed. Cozy, clean ambiance with great hospitality. We loved the rava masala dosa, paneer korma, parottas, pepper chicken gravy, and chicken starter — everything was delicious with generous portions. The sambar stood out, rich and flavorful. Coconut payasam was amazing, rasmalai was average. Special thanks to Santosh and Bhaskar for the excellent recommendations and service. Despite being the last customers to leave, we never felt rushed. Highly recommend for authentic Indian food and warm hospitality!

It was our first time eating here and we were very impressed. The atmosphere is family style and cozy and the food is really delicious. Our waiter helped explain to us what we were ordering. They are very friendly, welcoming and generous portions. Quick service with a smile. The naan bread is out of this world. Must try.

Hands down the most authentic Indian Restaurant in the area!!

We have tried so many dishes and not a single dish disappointed us!! The food is really delicious, the portion is great! I even saw in the kitchen there are all indian guys cooking, which supports the authenticity of their recipes. So far very satisfied with the food.

The best Indian food this side of the state!! We drive 40 mins every week for their delicious food. Our favorite dishes are Apollo Fish (think elevated fish fry with the tastiest curry coating), Paratha (flaky bread that can be use to scoop up the curry), and Goat Sukka (aromatics cubes of goat spiced to perfection) ! Cannot recommend this place enough!!

Went to this place couple of times. Once for a lunch and once for a dinner. Both the times, food tasted awesome. Lunch server was too good and suggested us a few items to try and the taste was really delicious. When I went for a dinner, the server had some attitude, but food was really good. At the end our dinner, I placed an order of biryani for carryout and asked him NOT to garnish it with onions on top and instead requested him to give onions as a side. He took the order and his attitude was so high that he didn't care to listen completely. When I went home and saw, there were no onions as a side. I hate restaurants that garnish onions on top of biryani as they become very soggy, that's why I made that request. This server had no patience to listen. Still giving 5 stars because food was good and first experience was good, but they definitely need to improve their customer service.

We got 1/4 tray chicken 65, 1/4 tray chicken 65 briyani. We got it from store by 6pm and it got wasted by 8.30 pm. Chicken 65 started to smell bad .. both quarter trays got wasted. When we called and informed them, they didnt take any responsibility. They said oh is it. Ok… this kind of response is bad. Kids were gonna eat that. But their carelessness might have caused some health issues. And very Poor customer service . We used to get orders from them for a long time. But they didn’t treat customers good . So not returning back to them again. Beware of their tray orders. It’s going bad nowadays.

I love butter chicken and garlic naan and not all are created equally, but after that first bite to the last bite , that was one of the best butter chicken and garlic naan I’ve ever had thus far. It was so creamy and comforting. I would definitely go back for butter chicken and garlic naan again. I will try samosa and chicken 65 when I bring my brother to this place!

We drove out here on the way back to Ann Arbor from the airport because we wanted to get something a little different seeing that we’ve tried every Ann Arbor Indian restaurant. We were BLOWN AWAY. The food here was better than anything we’ve had in A2. The server recommended the chicken 65 app and goat biryani. We took it upon ourselves to get saag paneer as well and some garlic naan and Mango lassi. Everything was more delicious than the last. It was so amazing.

I always order Veggie Pakoras and Paneer Biryani every chance I get. They make the best I've had.

Banana leaf Tamil new year food was phenomenal. Never had anything like this before. Hoping they do this again

One of the best places for South Indian food in SE Michigan - I have tried a variety of items here, including chicken 65, dosas, idli, vada, kothu porotta, mutton paaya, and everything tastes top-notch!

Thursday specials are great. Food is good, but the day we went they were so full that they ran out of food! I'm sure it's a temporary issue they'll sort out soon. Definitely worth a visit. Many visits.
