The food here is exceptional. If you are a fan of the fantastically famous dish Chicken Tikka Masala, then you must try out Masala Express! Exceptional meal, and an even more important than the food was my experience with the family who bring it to the market. They make you feel like family. These people go above and beyond and certainly gained my personal trust. They truly care for their customers. I can say without doubt that I will be back for more.

The food was great and so was the service. The owner was exceptionally kind, and my husband and I had a lovely conversation with him. The food was authentic and was fresh off the stove! I will definitely go back to this restaurant! Definitely recommend to those people looking for delicious Pakistani food!

I went to Shalimar Express today. The place is great, I like their traditional welcoming Pakistani decor. Their food is amazing. We got their Shami Kabaab paratha roll, samosa chaat, fresh veggie pakora, Kashmiri chai, and mango lassi. It’s one of the best places to get Pakistani fast food in the Capital Region. Highly recommend! The Kashmiri pink chai with their veggie pakora was perfect after spending the day out in the cold. Must try!
