Express Indien - Indian

5.0

This is our go-to place for Indian in NDG. Everything we've tried is tasty. My wife & I usually take out three dishes & get two or three meals out of them. We always order the side of naan instead of rice & just make a batch of basmati in the instant pot. It's ready by the time we return home with the food.
The service is always friendly albeit sometimes a bit slow, but they have a comfy couch to sit on & Indian music videos to watch while you wait.

We ordered the Butter Chicken Thali & Vegan Thali for delivery & it was excellent. The meal arrived hot & fresh, & looked appetizing. The vegetables were seasoned perfectly & the dal was flavourful & rich tasting even though it's really healthy. Dal tasted like it had simmered all day, to really let the flavours blend. Tandoor chicken was hot & tender with just the right amount of spice. The butter chicken was tender & delicious, with just the right amount of sauce. Spinach tofu is one of those dishes that might convert even spinach haters, or those who usually order spinach paneer. Not cheap, but great value, generous portions, more than enough for two people, & so much more nutritious than the same price spent on usual takeaway. Friendly service. Thank you!

I went to Express Indian on Somerled twice so far since moving to Montreal (one using public transport, once on foot). The food was good (the one time we actually got to eat the food we paid for). Here is my big issue: twice i went to this restaurant fully prepared with my own containers. You know, pollution & the current climate crisis in mind. the first time, i had plastic containers. the food came from the kitchen in my containers, FULLY WRAPPED IN TINFOIL. The next time, learning from the first encounter, i brought large-sized mason jars. They brought my jars back empty & sat them on the counter. Finally, after quite a long wait, they brought out two of their own, one-time-use ALUMINIUM take-out containers. The person then informed me (at that time, & not before bringing out this WASTE) that the openings of the jars were too narrow to be able to get the food inside. It is so disheartening as it is to be footprint-minded in a seemingly disposable world. But this kind of situation can be utterly crushing to someone trying hard to live without creating more waste. It's almost as if they are trying to make some sort of political statement by straight up refusing to use the containers i bring in with me (even though this would save them a bit of money - just use the containers for the next person)!
In the end, the food from their aluminium containers went EVERYWHERE in their plastic bags & in my backpack (unlike had it been in sealed mason jars) & my family & I did not even get to enjoy the food.

Your review is so unmerited. You can't give a restaurant a 1/5 service because the containers you provided were insufficient to store the food in. Don't belittle people for your extreme ways of life. Not every business can adjust to extreme measures as yourself. Next time, bring the proper containers and readjust your review. I haven't ordered from this place but i saw your review and felt the need to reply to you. I will order from them and i'll welcome the food in any container they bring it in and i'll dispose of that container the best way I can and that's provided to me. The civilized way.
