Tandoori Spice Express

Its in a gas station, and lives up to that expectation. Service was a little awkward, but the food was very good. They make everything hot and to order, so expect a wait.

Finding Indian food in Columbus, Texas feels like such a treat, and this place really delivers. The spices are bold and flavorful, and every dish has a richness that keeps you coming back for more. The biryani may not use saffron, but it’s still hearty, well-seasoned, and absolutely satisfying.

The mango lassi is refreshing and perfectly balanced—smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. And the masala chai? Hands down the best. The flavors are strong and comforting, and you don’t even need to add sugar—it’s that good on its own.

This is easily one of the best food experiences you’ll find in town. A true gem for Columbus.

Gosh these people are rude! Wow I’m sorry if you’re personally having a bad day but it’s not my fault.

The food was watery and stale, the floor was dirty.

Never coming back here

I stopped by this place to grab a quick meal and ordered paneer bhurji. What I got was undercooked and not edible. The paneer was hard, and the dish seemed rushed with no proper cooking.

This is not acceptable, especially for travelers who rely on takeaway food. Please make sure to check the food quality before giving it to customers. One bad meal on the road can ruin the day.

Paneer wrap. Super delicious, fresh and fast. Exactly what i needed. Toasty naan, crisp veggies, flavorful paneer, and tasty sauces. And the staff were professional and were working hard. Thanks!

Wings were fire. Meaty and tasty. Will definitely get them again!

Surprisingly good. Kheer was good and in a pretty big portion. Reasonably priced. Dal was dense and tasted great.

I was so excited to try the food and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! We had the saag paneer, the aloo gobi, goat biryani and naan! So much delicious food! We ordered takeout and brought the food home, 17 miles away… But when you consider we live halfway between Houston and Austin and a very small town, the fact that such good, reasonable priced, delicious Indian food is available… It is just astounding! We will get two meals for our three person family, and we are all adults. The young man who took our order, KB was so extremely helpful and pleasant… We will definitely be back soon! Thank you!

Took nearly 40 minutes for serving an order and there wasn’t even much of a crowd. It delayed our road trip . Highly recommend asking them how long the order will take before ordering

If you want to waste an hour , stop by all means. Horrible food, extra slow service and cold food. We placed a order for 4 items and got it after 45 mins. They just forgot about the order

Don’t come here

We didn’t expect much from an Indian restaurant inside a gas station, but we were blown away! All the food was stellar. We might make a road trip just to come here again.
