Lahore Express

Awesome food and really good prices!!! I am going to come back again and cater for my party. If you don’t know what you want on the menu tell the owner what your craving and he will whip something up for ya!

Great little take out spot. Good prices for outstanding food. The masala chaat is not to be missed. The beef stew was similarly excellent. Just wished I’d gotten a mango lassi because they looked delicious. Definitely, definitely worth a try for some take out!

I love Pakistani cuisine especially the one from Punjab province. Lahore is a really old and very historic city of the Punjab province. The people are cheerful, the language is sweet. Their food is colorful and one starts to rediscover their taste buds.
I simply love this place, their samosa chaat is light lunch, best to try their wraps and dum gosht wrap is super spicy. Love it! Talking to the owners in Urdu while waiting for the food or bill feels makes me homesick every time.

Mom and pop shops like this one have a special place in my heart. Cheap takeout places have a special place in my diet. This place was an epic find so close to home. The nihari beef was delicious and had great depth of flavor. The chicken curry was wonderfully savory. Everything was wonderful. It’s not the best indian food I’ve ever had, but at its price point that’s not the focus. And getting to taste personal recipes from an independant Indian family, that sort of heritage and home cooking is unbeatable.

Chicken biryani is so good here that I haven’t tried anything else. I get it pretty much once a week. The taste is excellent. The quantity of food given is great.
This is a takeout place so I call before coming home and pick it up for dinner. Only disappointment to me was the naan.

Great, friendly service and decent prices for what you get. I got chicken biranyi. Very good proportion. I loved the rice. The chicken was a little dry but not bad. It came with a good yogurt sauce.
My friends both got wraps. They were very messy but both liked them a lot. It was like $ 23 for all three of us so that was awesome :)

I am giving it 4 start only because I am comparing it to the competition in the area. Paneer Makhani was too sweet to my taste but overall decent food. Biryani was good and daal tadka was excellent! This is probably the only good place in the area.

I had sort of written off all Indian food in the area on account of being served lasagna at one, having really awful mild greasy food at another and mediocre service to top it all off. Thankfully my desire to eat Indian/​Pakistani food is so strong, I forced myself to try this one last place in the area and I’m so glad I did!
This is strictly a takeout place so take that into account when planning your meal. They do have some stools in the waiting area but I really don’t recommend trying to eat on the thin crooked pieces of wood they have against the wall and take it home instead. I called in an order and showed up promptly at the agreed upon time but they needed a few extra minutes to I got a chance to take in the tiny waiting room and listen to the pots getting scraped and the beeping of the staff’s cellphones going off. I took comfort in knowing that they weren’t responding ’cause I could hear the reminders to check their phones going off as well.
Now that being said, I was so impressed with what we ordered. In an effort to get a good feel for what this place offered, we ordered:
1. dum gosht roll
2. aloo masala roll
3. veggie samosas
4. chicken biryani
The first thing my hubby said was, «Wow, those are big for samosas» so right off the bat, it looked like we were on a path to something good. They were big, flaky, spiced just right and fell apart in your mouth. I was so happy to see that they were too greasy or even needed sauce to mask some mediocre flavor like I usually did in the past.
The dum gosht roll was not at all what I was expecting and that’s a good thing. The meat was braised, spiced well, complemented the yogurt, and veggie mix and was oh so plentiful. With each bite I took out of the sandwich, more beef fell out ’cause it was just packed in there. The aloo masala roll had to be have been my favorite entrée by far. I’m not a vegetarian and actually stay far away from most veggie dishes but oh my gosh, I would order this again and again any day. It’s spiced potatoes and veggies which doesn’t sound that great or special but when the right combination of spices and tender potatoes just kick your taste buds awake, you listen. I haven’t had good potatoes like this since living in on the west coast and it made me feel nostalgic for a nanosecond.
I have yet to try the biryani in its entirety yet but I did try a few bites and I’m impressed with the large chunks of chicken that got in the way of my saffron rice. The rice was plentiful, meat was tender, and there was a good ratio of rice to chicken and I’m happy to say that even on day 2, the rice didn’t try out. :-)
This is clearly a place that takes pride in their food and stick to what they know instead of spreading themselves too thin. I’d come back for a wrap and would feel good knowing it’s healthier than most fast food options out there.

I was excited to try this restaurant because of the reviews. Who wouldnt want fast food indian food. We went in there and beeep, waited for our order, beeeep click ka-​chunk, to be taken, beep click ka-​chunk, order taken, beeeep click ka-​chunk, long wait, beep click ka-​chunk. Sigh. what we figured out from all the beeping was they were microwaving their food and it pretty much tasted like it. The samosa chaat was disappointing. one samosa cut in half that had obviously been fried earlier in the day then microwaved but the chaat was pretty good. We got the chicken masala. The rice was good and the sauce tasted ok but had no heat to it at all and the chicken was cooked into oblivion and tasted microwaved. They are fairly cheap, the chaat was really the only really good thing we had but its just not enough to bring us back

Awesome service and food!!! Love their prices for delicious take out! The food is seriously cooked to order and the white cucumber sauce is unbelievable! I love this place for take out but India café is my place for ambiance+Indian food!

Lahore Express is a fantastic and incredibly affordable takeout Indian restaurant! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and I constantly crave their food. The owner is such a friendly guy, and his service never disappoints. Give it a shot. You won’t regret it!

At a friend’s recommendation I tried the Chicken Biryani. It was inexpensive and pretty tasty. It was a little spicy, but not too much so. I do wish it had a little more meat and a little less rice, but other than that I liked it. This place is for take out as others have said.

I came by this place and picked up a menu on my way to India Café one day. India Café is a nice little place, so I wasn’t sure if I wanted to risk another place, but I figured I’d give it a go. A few weeks later I called in and placed an order for pickup. It’s not a dine in restaurant. I picked up my food, and I must say I was both surprised and slightly disappointed.
The samosa chaat was fantastic. Definitely worth trying. Really good.
The slightly disappointing part was that the entrée dishes (we ordered two) seemed to have waay too much rice, and not enough of the actual entrée. My friend ordered chicken masala, and it was good, but the ratio of rice to chicken was way off. They need to increase the amount of actual entrée and decrease the amount of rice. The entrée itself was very tasty. Slightly different from «indian» style. Though I have not eaten at a lot of pakistani restaurants, the food seemed similar, but not exactly the same, which is fine. It was tasty, and really, that’s all that matters!
The staff was very pleasent. There is a lady who I think does a lot of the cooking, who seemed very friendly. There is also a young gentleman who does ordering/​cashier whatever, and he seemed friendly as well.
Overall, this is a great place to order some takeout from. Would definitely recommend a try!

I have eaten at various indian-​Pakistani restaurant however the real authentic taste and original food that I can get in this entire area was here. I reluctantly ordered dinner one night and now I am addicted to this food. Their samosa chaat is the best and is worth your calorie. It’s a carry out place with really reasonable prices.

Stumbled across this place on a Sunday afternoon, was so pleased to find them open, happier yet when I saw the prices, and then to top it all off it was delicious! There were a few chairs to sit, but this is really more of a takeout place, so I got my wrap, samosa chaat, and chicken masala to go and went to the park. The masala was a little different from what I’ve had before, maybe a regional difference?, but definitely still good. The best was the chaat, hands-​down. I got medium-​spicy, but next time I’ll ask for hot. Can’t wait for the next visit!
