I have truly no idea why the reviews of this place aren't higher. I have been so disappointed by the indian food in Arlington and DC having grown up in the suburbs and can say for certain this spot is the best indian takeout in Arlington. While it may not have the upscaled refinement of other places, it's the best …

I wanted to try a new place for Indian food and I’m so glad I did. This place was absolutely delicious and the prices were way better than other similar spots. The staff was super friendly. I’ll definitely be back.

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!

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 …

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.
