Absolutely the best Indian food in the area.
We drive from Lincoln to come here and have never been disappointed! Solid, fresh, and well-balanced complex flavors you can tell are prepared for you when you order and are not just sitting around.
The rice itself is well seasoned and never bland or clumpy. The butter Naan is fabulous and flaked with a loose pastry like consistency.
All of the breads are cooked perfectly and come out warm and delicious 😋 We always eat in the small cozy dining room and have lovely attentive but not overbearing service, and we feel genuinely welcome each time we dine with them.
There's low-key Indian music videos playing on the TV and they give an exotic touch to the atmosphere (which is tastefully done and even extends to the clean and nicely decorated restroom). Now that we have found Tandoori Express, we've been back three times over the past month and plan on returning frequently.
I've included photos from multiple meals, so please do yourself a favor and stop by to try them out soon - see you there!
