" Chennai Express is my go-to for fantastic Indian food. The flavors are fresh and vibrant, and the spices are always on point! However, I want to mention that my last visit had some service hiccups — our order came out wrong, and it was tough to get the attention of the staff. Regardless, the food was so good I didn't mind too much. The seating is a bit tight, which can make it challenging to enjoy a meal if it’s busy. I still recommend it for anyone craving authentic Indian dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chennai Express surprised me with the intensity of their flavors! The Reshmi Kebab and Butter Chicken had the perfect balance. However, I’d like to mention the seating could definitely use an upgrade. Despite this, I encourage anyone who loves Indian cuisine to check it out. You won't regret the delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Chennai Express after hearing about its authenticity and was not disappointed! The Lamb Vindaloo was my favorite, spicy and bursting with flavor. The service could use some improvement, as our waiter seemed a little absent. Nevertheless, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a true taste of Indian cuisine. I will definitely be returning to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a long-time lover of Indian cuisine, I was thrilled with the experience at Chennai Express. I ordered the Goat Biryani and it was rich and flavorful, filled with tender meat and aromatic spices. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, which detracted from an otherwise wonderful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, though ideally, it could be a tad more spacious for larger groups. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after hearing rave reviews about Chennai Express, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I ordered a feast of Chicken 555 and Samosas as appetizers, followed by the Chicken Chettinad, and every dish was filled with flavors that reminded me of my travels in India. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the experience even better. However, I found their seating quite limited, which might make reservations a good idea. Still, it’s absolutely worth a visit if you're craving authentic Indian cuisine. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last night. The Daal Makhani was creamy and tasty, but eventually, I found it a bit salty. The atmosphere was cozy, but I felt the space was a bit cramped when more patrons arrived. I appreciated the attentive service, but I just wish the portion sizes were slightly bigger for the price. Overall, a solid dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent experience at Chennai Express! The food was superb with authentic flavors just like I had back home. The Chicken Chettinad and Appams were to die for! The only hitch? The wait staff seemed overworked, leading to delayed service. While it added to the experience, I hope they manage to streamline their service! Will definitely recommend for food lovers.
