" This is a little corner of India in Sonoma County! The naan and tikka masala are perfection incarnate; I can't get over how good the bread is. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Indian cuisine. Just a heads up, it can get busy during lunch hour, so plan your visit accordingly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Masala Express. The food was, without a doubt, delicious; you can taste the freshness in every bite. However, the service was a bit lacking. I had to ask several times for water, which was disappointing. Overall, I would recommend it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Masala Express for lunch with friends and had a fantastic time! The food was flavorful and prepared with great care. I especially loved how they made the lamb vindaloo spicy, just as I requested. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn’t say I love it, but I liked the food. The flavors were solid and true to Indian cuisine. However, the service was a bit disorganized. I noticed other tables getting served before us even though we were seated first. Overall, decent food, but it could use some work on the service angle. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Masala Express last week and tried their thali platter. It was a delightful mix of various dishes which gave me a great sampling of Indian flavors. The garlic naan was to die for. However, it did take a while for our food to arrive despite not being too crowded. But the food was worth the wait; just make sure you're not in a rush. Overall, a good place for authentic Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Masala Express has solidified its place in my heart as my favorite Indian restaurant in the area! The owners are so friendly and make you feel at home. The butter chicken is rich and creamy, and the garlic naan is unbelievable! Also, their mango lassi is a perfect complement to the meal. I frequently recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this restaurant! Each time I visit, I walk away happy and stuffed. The chicken tikka masala is my absolute favorite, rich and creamy with great spices. I appreciate that the ingredients seem very fresh. The only downside was that it took a bit longer to receive our food, but the owners are genuine and the service is lovely. I wish I could eat here every day! " (*Curated Review*)
