“In this unassuming spot lies your next tasty meal. We shared a combo #8 with a chicken and a seekh (ground beef) kabob with rice, small salad of lettuce/cucumbers/onions, chana (chickpeas) and roti (bread). Had a fresh mango lassi to go with it and ate it too fast to take a picture. It was plenty of food for us to share and enjoy. Don’t expect much of the decor - it’s the food and the kind people that make this place great.“
“Whilst I was on a trip to the area I stumbled upon Masala Express. In search for gluten free and vegan friendly options I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Aloo Gobi which comes with a large side of rice. This was truly the best Indian food I have ever had. The service was phenomenal. The waiters as well as the owners were very kind and appreciative of the tip I left at the end of my meal. Masala Express is a fairly small restaurant with only two tables, so if you have a large party I recommend taking out your order. Overall, Masala Express is an amazing place to spend your evening when visiting Arlington, VA.“
“The best and the most authentic Indian restaurant in the DMV area.I don’t think there’s just one single dish I can recommend - the food their chef cooks is excellence, every item on the menu is amazing and executed to perfection. Food is primarily about taste and ingredients and these people seem to have nailed it for sure!Also the staff is very kind and friendly.“
“This food is addicting to eat and the flavors / seasonings are nothing short of superb. I will most definitely be coming back and trying the whole menu. This was truly amazing. Coming from someone who is a picky eater (myself) this is a new favorite spot of mine!“
“On those days that I really don't want to make my own meal and I really don't want to spend a couple of Benjamins at Rasika, this is my go-to Indian carryout. I could live off chickpeas and lentils from here. I'd give it another star if parking weren't so challenging. The grocery store really highlights the fact that I need to up my cooking game.“
“I stopped in for the first time and tried two street food dishes, chole bhature and tandori fish. Like others have mentioned, there's a buffet table, but it's not like a typical buffet. I think commonly ordered food is kept there and they'll dish it up. My chickpeas might have been from there but the fried bread that came with it was fresh and delicious.The tandoori fish was mehhh. It turned out to be tilapia so that explains it.I ordered an iced tea, I would have needed to prompt for a refill, but I was full.The decore is nice and there's Indian music/music video playing which I thought was fun.I will 100% go back.“
“Have came here in the past and enjoyed the foods got an open sesame bowl and tikka chance on me (chicken). The server did a beautiful job spreading the sauces. However, it feels like the base and protein has gotten smaller since the last time I've had it. The place us super colorful but ended up eating outside with the warm weather“
“Had a tasty Too Good To Go meal at City Kabob! I got the Kabob Platter which was a delicious mix of spicy Tandoori Chicken - perfectly cooked, soft, and seasoned. Very flavorful with a charcoal grill and was quite moist! Their Channa Masala was soft and packed a great spice blend that complimented the rice and chicken. The naan was a bit on the doughy side. The salad provided a fresh mix when combined with the spicy masala flavors. Overall, very delicious and good quality! Excited to try again!“
“I was in town for work and saw this place. The food was good and came out quickly. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The portion size was good for the price. I ordered the butter chicken and naan and both had good flavor. I will go back when I'm in town and try something else from the menu.“
“We visited Washington DC to enjoy the Cherry Blossom. Even though it was almost time to close, we were accommodated. We were all hungry, so there were lots to order. I admired the staff patience with us all. The food and drinks were great. Highly recommended.“
