    We picked up our order to take to friends down in Mechanicsville, VA. Everyone at your shop were attentive and friendly when we got there. Once we made it to Mechanicsville, our friends were delighted with the feast we brought, the food was delish! We like your updated shop and look forward to coming sometime soon to enjoy a meal there.

    One of the best food i’ve ever had in my life. Chicken Momo was so flavorful and juicy. Staff were so friendly as well. Everyone should try their food atleast once. Highly recommended.

    Masala express is an excellent Indian option in the DC area. Hipender at the front desk was very helpful, smiley and friendly- great service The food was very tasty (not as spicy as I’d prefer) but flavourful nevertheless. The portion sizes are very generous. A curry comes with rice which was a nice surprise. Updated menu attached.
