    Highest recommendation! I stopped by for a quick lunch with my son and I am so glad I did. We ordered takeout online, but decided once we arrived to eat there at one of their few small tables. DJ could not have been more hospitable. We ordered a chicken tikka masala and a butter chicken. Both were hot, fresh, flavorful and delicious. We also ordered a roti and tandoori naan, which were also excellent. A lot of places skimp on the rice, but not this place. Our meals included a more than generous heaping container of hot basmati rice that perfectly complemented the equally generously sized chicken dishes. My only regret is that I did not discover this place sooner. We loved everything about it and can't wait to return.

    Masala Express in Arlington is a must-visit for Indian food lovers. The butter chicken is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, especially with their fresh naan. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and the parking lot makes it very convenient. A solid go-to spot in Arlington!
