The sauce is really good for all the curry’s but the chicken always tastes sooo nasty. It’s chewy, rubbery, extremely fatty and just tastes so bad every single time i get it.

Picked up a ToGoodToGo here last night, not disappointed. Big heaping of rice, paneer and some kind of spicy chicken, plus a piece of naan, all for $5. Good, filling meal. Only wish it had some veggies included!
Will definitely be coming back for full orders.

I love the food here!! My favorites are the poori masala, onion pakora and the chicken curry… the chole bhatture is also so good! I come here often and the food has always been so tasty. Yes, the place is a bit cramped but that’s ok.. I don’t mind. Btw I have extensive experience with the cuisine and I cook at home a lot. The way I see it is that if a restaurant can entice me to come out and eat somewhere, then it’s worth it.

Amazing biryani! We ordered the goat and chicken biryani for takeaway, rich flavors, perfectly cooked, and the aroma filled our entire suite. Thank you, Chennai Express, for bringing us a true taste of home.

Born and raised in India, I’ve spent the last three years in Providence exploring various Indian restaurants throughout Rhode Island. Among them, Chennai Express stands out for its exceptional Indian cuisine, a hidden gem that prioritizes authenticity over ambiance, unlike other local favorites like India Restaurant and Rasoi on Hope Street, or Kabob and Curry on Thayer Street. For those seeking authentic Indian flavors without American adjustments, Chennai Express is a top choice.
The staff at Chennai Express are both friendly and professional. The wait time is around 10 minutes for appetizers and an additional 15 minutes for the main course, but it’s worth the wait. Must-try appetizers include chicken pepper fry, chicken 555, and onion pakoda. For the entrée, we tried the Chicken Kadai, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, and Paneer Kadai, with the Korma standing out due to its rich and creamy gravy. The entrée comes with rice and the price ranges from $15-$20. The ambiance is modest yet comfortable.

The Indian food here was outstanding. Ordered the chicken vindaloo, garlic naan, chicken samosa, mango lassi. So good. Highly recommend.

We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Vindaloo and Palak Paneer. Great Chicken Tikka Masala!
You can order with the staff or via an app on the table that goes straight to the kitchen.
Smaller place that does more Take-Away orders than dine in but they still have the capacity to seat around 16 people in here.
Very good meat for an Indian place.
They were good but I like palak paneer better when it’s like chopped spinach instead of spinach smoothie.
There’s a full parking lot next to it.

Short review: We got take out and was probably some the best Indian restaurant I’ve had in my entire life (coming from an Indian). Not for those who can’t handle spice though!
Full review:
We got the paneer tikka masala, gobi manchurian, Hyderabadi chicken curry, tandoori chicken, Chennai special chicken byriyani and goat byriani. Everything was phenomenal. All of these dishes have very different flavors and spice levels and they nailed each perfectly. I can’t recommend the biryani enough and definitely will be coming back the next time In the area!

Small place but a great find with authentic southern Indian cuisine. Been here twice and really enjoyed the South Indian flavors and spices at affordable prices. Tried their vegetarian Manchuria, veg biryani and goat biryani. Biryanis were of hyderabadi style and tasted delicious. Dining area is smaller but nice decor. Must try for southern Indian food and biryani in the area. Staff were friendly too.
