As an Indian living in NDG my choices were limited to the ones on sherbrooke street. Express Indien was a bit of a surprise. When I first went there I had the Biryani which was aweful. I didn't go back for a year. Then a friend dragged me there and I had the Thali lunch (mixed meal) which was priced at $10 and wow ! the saag was good as was the butter chicken. The Naan was one of the best I have had in town. The chef worked in some known restos in India so he knows what he's doing.He uses a real tandoor oven so you get that light texture and smoky taste. For ten bucks ! a really good meal that beats the Mc fast meals any day and much healthier ( he doesn't over do the grease). Not too spicy either.
Decor is simple and clean. Just a good meal at a good price. Nothing to write home about but it works for me.
