I really love their dishes. I always get fantastic service here. The place is clean and the workers are always helpful. Will come visit again.

I've ordered from this restaurant on Uber eats. They forgot one of my orders and their portions are so small that it wasn't filling for me. The taste was pretty bland and dry, surprising for Indian food.. After a couple of months, I walked into the restaurant by accident and didn't realize I had ordered from this place until I got their menu. When I walked in with my boyfriend, two workers got up from their seat as well as a man behind the counter. We felt a little intimidated like we had no business going in there. They did not greet us and instead kept talking to each other, I had asked for a take out menu & we walked out.

I am having flashbacks to old Indian Clove, and same downgrade of ingredients from years ago. It's deja vu, all over again. I had this same conversation, I swear. They flim-flamed my order from fresh, fragrant, real crab meat, perfect crab andra masala - to cheap imitation crab meat that taste like microwaved garbage bag. This is not even real food. It's disgusting. I am so, so disappointed. There are two possible explanations to this: either they think so low of their customers to know the difference, or chef does not see the difference. Either way, customer lost. Not to mention, delivery was 30 min late, and I spent another hour playing tag on the phone with them - with no resolution, they just hang up. Another half hour with Seamless to get my money back. But wait, there is more. I only tasted a spoonful of it before it went to the garbage bin, and nibbled on 3 cucumber slices from side salad, and I got the worst food poisoning ever. Stressful evening + leepless night + terrible work day. What a wonderful experience, eh? I highly doubt I can risk ordering from them again. Not worth my health, loss of wages, nor dealing with phone catch or disrespect.

Indian Xpress on Corson recently opened in St. George, Staten Island - we ordered for the first time yesterday, and were amazed at the flavours. I have never had a tandori chicken so moist. Thoroughly enjoyed our entire meal and will be back - customer service was amazing too. Glad to see this take-out restaurant in our area!

4.5 STARS I usually eat here once a month, so I'm very familiar with their menu. It's great Indian food with some Americanized updates for the non-spicy eater. TL;DR Overall (4.5 star): A small and unassuming Indian restaurant that's big one taste and small on your wallet. Great tasting and even better service. Breakdown Service (1 star): The people here are very polite. And the first time I ate here, they made several suggestions and pointed out the spice levels in some of their popular dishes. Menu (1 star): A large menu that's accommodating for every type of eater, from your vegetarian to you meat lovers. They have several sections from rice, to meats to fish. There is something for everyone here. Pricing (1 star): The prices are below average to average for this type of food. Appetizers are $4 and above and larger dishes are $8 and above. Mix grills and fishes are at the high end ($15+). Presentation/Atmosphere (.5 star): The place is quiet small and if you blink, you'll miss it. It isn't overly decorated or exudes ambiance but the that's the least of my concern. The food has always been fresh, plated and when boxed, looks deliciously organized. They give you very nice portions and with 4-5 different types of sauces to add flavor to your dishes. Taste (1 star): Excellent! Unbelievably fresh. And every dish comes with an assortment of sauces, rice and a salad. The spices are just right and not overwhelming. Haven't had a bad trip yet. Bill: one appetizer and two chicken dishes. $30-$35 (with 15% tip - on my own discretion). Enjoy!

This is probably the most under rated Indian restaurant. There was a moment where they were closed on a Sunday for some odd reason, I had to go to New Dorp for my craving and it just didn't cut it. I usually pick up to avoid the long wait for delivery but even that doesn't change the fact that their food is fantastic and the service is great!

Had their paneer makhani extra spicy. This has got to be the better P.M. I've had in a long time. Very rich and not lacking flavor. The Paneer chunks were huge and evenly cooked. Not sure if they forgot my extra spicy order, nonetheless it was very delicious. The mango lassi was great and sauces included. Utensils were not included. -satisfied customer

Just great Indian food. Second time i got delivery from here, and the Lamb and Veg Samosas were great, naan was excellent as was the lamb tikka masala. It was over an hour wait, but ill gladly wait for more when food is this good

Really good Indian food- chicken Tikka masala good and great veggie plates. But the only problem is they're hardly ever open what's up with that and they're soooo slow. So we figured take out might be better so we called and asked if they're open for take out she said yes but when we arrived they said sorry we're closed.
First time I had indian express. This place is amazing. The food is amazing. First time I ate indian food and it was a great experience. Definitely coming again.

I purchased a groupon certificate to try this place out but it was a huge mistake. I ordered the chicken tiki masala, lamb vindaloo, & some grill kabab; the meats are very dry & rough. Taste is average. But one thing got me upset is that our server put down 4 bottles of water on our table so I thought that is the way they serve free water but when I got my bill, I was charged for it. I did not order it! I ask for a refund on 1 bottle that I didn't open, she told me that she already ring up the bill. I run a restaurant too so I know there is something call voiding an order. Anyway, I did not argue but not going back or suggest anybody to go. I still gave them a decent tip because I run a restaurant myself but I feel like I have been cheated.

I am giving this establishment one star because a quarter star was unavailable. I can only imagine the food must be good, but i will clearly never know because it has been two hours since i ordered it and it has failed to arrive.I called at the one hour mark and was told that it was "still being prepared"...based on its continued failure to arrive, i can only apologize to the quadriplegic chef for my scathing review of food i have yet to taste. In conclusion, if you plan on ordering delivery from this restaurant, don't make any plans.

Amazing food! Super yummy! And they are courteous enough to ask if you would like your food spicy or not... In this age all Indian Restaraunts make food one way... spicy! Plus they give you lots of condiments and a generous serving at that! Best part is the choices ... I took two dishes to eat at home and have been enjoying for last three days #Yum

A small place, decor was ok the service could improve just a tad bit better. The lamb tiki masala was good but I asked for spicy and it came out mild, they ran out of the samosas so had the fried veggies instead which was ok and the garlic naan was nice and fresh !
great food
