Update: They have admitted the mistake. I was refunded for…read moremy order and made me another correct one. ******** I have ordered vegetable biryani and I made sure multiple times to remind them to make it without cheese or any milk ingredient for health purposes. The lady said yes of course we will make it for you without cheese. Before I got the food, she took it to the back to check if there any cheese added. It took her a while and that makes me think she found the cheese and she removed it. When she gave me the order, she confirmed there was no cheese added. I left. While I start eating, I saw a cheese crumble so I start looking closely. Unfortunately it was made with cheese and she lied. This place don't care about customers health. Very disrespectful

The chili chicken was quite spicy for me so I had to pass that dish to my partner because I can't handle spice that well. The flavor of the sauce was really flavorful though!

The aloo gobi was also good as well. The simosas come in a order of 4. Pleased with the portion size and taste. The best I've had in the Merced County area. Service was nice and efficient.

So far I tried the vegetable and beef. They are delicious, crunchy and the sauces are very good. They also have other side dishes, see my attached photo. Their customer service is friendly and helpful. The ambiance is you get to eat outside where there are tables and depending what time you go or do what I did on this hot day outside, took them home and munched on them hot in a cool apartment. I would recommend my friends and family. So go get you some.

My boss and I were craving Indian food, so we decided to try a spot we found right off the freeway…read more When we walked in, the place was empty, which gave it a bit of a strange vibe--especially for 1 PM. We went ahead and ordered anyway. While waiting, I started reading other reviews mentioning long wait times, but surprisingly, our food came out pretty quickly. Not only that, it was absolutely delicious. That definitely made up for the empty atmosphere. Don't let a quiet dining room discourage you--this place proves the food can more than make up for it.

Placed an order for a lunch prior going out to a graduation. We were informed it would be ready in…read moreabout 30minutes, we gave them about 45min and when we arrived the food was still not ready. We proceeded to wait in the empty lobby just awkwardly while they worker did his best to look busy. We waited an additional 30 minutes with not even an apology or acknowledgement of the fact that the food was not ready even though we were given an estimated time. Mind it, the whole place was so empty! The passive aggressive sign telling them to not even think about using their phone while working in full view of customers was also a bit of a turn off. As for the food, I am pretty sure one of the items that we were served was NOT what we ordered. I have no idea what it was but based on the color and smell, it was not it. It was a weird fuchsia color curry and definitely not tikka masala. We ordered the tandori chicken supreme pizza. Props for being unique and having plenty of ingredients but unfortunately the dough of the pizza just was super dry. Really bad first impression, we wouldnt come back just based off of that.

Masala Express is easily my #1 Indian spot in Merced…read more I ordered the chicken tikka masala and man... this was next level. Super tender chicken and the sauce was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor perfectly spiced without being too heavy. With the fluffy rice and warm naan it was one of those meals you don't want to end. What really makes this place stand out though is the service. The owner is always there super welcoming and constantly checking in to make sure you're taken care of. You can tell he takes pride in the food and the experience. Great food top-tier service this place doesn't miss.
