    Pulling in.....

    Called in and stuffed parantha, simosas, tandoori chicken, extra spicy ordered. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 30-35 minutes. Mother and I went to pick it up. Arrived. It's an Indian & grocery store. Clean & safe! The worker was extremely kind and the order was ready. Paid for the order and the worker wished me a good day! Appreciated! They also have delicious sweets to tease you with. I noticed before leaving. Lunchtime! Order split! The chicken tandoori 1/2 was tender and flavorful with a great, spicy kick! The samosa was FANTASTIC & flavorful! Even better with the side sauces to dip it! The stuffed parantha 1/2 was tasty too! It came with white sauce that was used for dipping and that was really Great! Flavorful, tasty delicious lunch! Mother said hers was great too! She loved the spices and flavor! Great service and delicious food! Highly recommended!

    Came across this place on a whim while leaving Selma after failing to pick up some Indian food there. I ordered online before getting into the highway. I dug through some or the reviews and YES order ahead as they do take long but this could be a good sign of freshness! I ordered some Basmati Rice, Naan, Samosa, Samosa Chat and Baingan Bartha. I got there about 18 minutes before estimated time and the gentleman at the counter told me it would be about 10 to 15 minutes and I didn't mind After the food was came out I sped to put the reviews to the test. The portions are definitely plentiful and let me tell you, this good was definitely 5 stars. I did specify very mild spicy but my girlfriend thought it was still pretty spicy, for me it was perfect. The Samosas were huge and flaky, the chutney sauces were spot on. The rice was fluffy and the same as other places, the baingan bartha was very flavorful but my favorite I must admit was the Samosa Chat, it was soooo flavorful, perfect amount of spice and the pastry was fresh. I'm from Fresno and this place being in Fowler is a stretch but totally worth it. I would make another drive to have more hands down

    If you like or love Indian Food, then this is the place to go.....if you're close by of course. I've been watching this place ever since it joined the "hot & new" section on Yelp and was eagerly excited to try it. One Sunday after church I suggested this place to my doppelgänger because we were indecisive and she agreed to give it a go. I'm so glad we did. The eatery is located inside an Indian Grocery Store next to a Liquor Store down the street from Dollar General. Signs will lead the way. Upon entering, aromas hit your nose and immediately make your mouth water. It becomes a rush of hunger to your belly when seeing all the options, but I stuck with the basics; butter chicken, rice and naan. We did order samosas as well and tried the Chicken Biryani. Everything was delicious from start to finish and the portions are grande. We took more than half our food home and they made great leftovers. The owners serve and operate the business on their own and they do one heck of a job. They came out to check on us several times and asked how we enjoyed the food. They were both incredibly nice human beings and for that they have made a satisfied customer out of me.

    Food is very decent, I once had an Indian friend who use to always get butter chicken which I assumed was chicken curry & it's not. I order Chicken Curry as well as 3 Garlic Naans & Chicken Tandoori & also revived a side of rice not sure what dish it came with. Chicken Curry has maybe 6 small pieces of meat, that was disappointing but the curry is very delicious! 4/5 recommendation 9.99 Garlic Naan Seemed to have barely any garlic :( 2/5 recommended Chicken Tandoori is the only thing I feel was fair priced for 9.99 there was 6 pieces of chicken. The chicken is kind of dry. But the sauce & sautéed veggies where amazing! I also bought some sweets they where good no idea the names but the one with pistachios are my favorite.

    Nice small dining area

    We were making our way back from LA and decided to stop by somewhere for a quick meal. Found India Express not too far from the freeway and ordered some butter chicken, goat biryani, garlic naan, and fish pakora. All the food came out within 10 minutes and was so fresh and fragrant. This was absolutely the best Indian food I've had in a while! I recommend to anyone and everyone to go give it a try. We didn't give a spice level and the food was perfect. If you like spicer foods, I'd recommend making a special request! Truly a hidden gem!

    By far the best Indian food in Fresno! I love spicy and they were on point! The place is so clean, it's kinda hidden but over all worth Worth Worth Worth it! Everything is made to order. Eggplant, okra, butter chicken, chicken tikki masala, garlic naan, samosa, basmati rice

The folks who run this place seem to really care about the quality of the food and the experience the guests have. Unlike our first visit on Valentine's Day which was very busy, we came back on a weekend evening this fall, and there were only a couple other diners. It seems like "the new normal" is that most business for these mom-and-pop type restaurants appears to be by Doordash, Grubhub, UberEats -- even if they're making plenty of sales, very few people come in and sit down. It's odd. You can no longer judge how good a restaurant will be by how many people are seating having dinner on a Saturday night. But despite not very many people dining in, it's a comfortable, welcoming, clean space. Everything was still fresh, delicious, and very similar to last time, EXCEPT: The main update I wanted to give is that the little "glitches" I noticed when the place was brand new are all gone now. This is just as I expected, but I wanted to let Yelpers know this. So yes, this time the got everything we ordered, we got sauces with the appetizer, and we were given full-size dinner plates. Love those black lentils. Everyone: go eat them!

We were seated quickly, and since we had already looked over the menu at home, we came ready to order. We ordered the fish pakora, samosas, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, goat curry, chili paneer, garlic naan, Indian desi salad, malai chicken, cucumber raita, and mango lassi. Let me tell you--the food was AMAZING! The goat curry was easily the best goat curry I've ever had. The chili paneer was a solid 10/10, and the fish pakoras were phenomenal. The tandoori chicken came out piping hot, which I loved, and the flavor was even better. The butter chicken was delicious, with a great portion size and plenty of sauce for the naan. The samosas may have been the best I've ever had, and the garlic naan came out fresh, hot, and perfect. The kiddos especially loved dipping it into all the different curry sauces. The malai chicken was prepared well, but it personally wasn't my favorite flavor and probably isn't something I would order again. The kids, however, really enjoyed it! Overall, the portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and there were so many standout dishes. We left very happy and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend the goat curry, chili paneer, fish pakora, and samosas!

    Guys I found my favorite Indian restaurant! First off, this restaurant is really beautiful inside…read more I love all the intricate designs and the vibe here. The order: I tried two cocktails. The Gulab Twist was very refreshing! It had gin, mint, lemon, and tonic water. The lemon drop with vodka was good and a little strong. The Dahi Puri was scrumptious! Crunchy on the outside and filled with yogurt inside. It's a very delightful dish to eat. The tandoori chicken was oven baked, tender and bursting with flavors of the spices. The lentil soup was hearty and wholesome. I love their noodles! It has bell peppers in it and it was so good. It was my first time trying soya chaap and I really enjoyed it! It's a plant based dish made with soy and wheat , came in creamy gravy flavor and Achari, I can't pick which one I liked more! The chicken biryani was fantastic! The rice was nicely spiced and the chicken was so well made and tender. I added some yogurt with it and it was just the best thing in the world. The garlic shrimp was my husband's favorite. The flavor profile is amazing. It's made medium doneness on the shrimp and the bell peppers and onions with it is just perfect for this dish. I got the garlic naan and it was very good, I used it to dip it in my butter chicken. The butter chicken was delicious, so warm, creamy, and rich. Everything was sooooo good! Service was great. My server checked up on me just the right amount of time. They were friendly and helped me with ordering. I even met the owner and chef Mandeep and she was very kind. Please come and check this place out, I highly recommend it. The food is a 10!

    My friends invited me to join them for brunch in Selma at the curry Cantina due to their new brunch…read moremenu. I had never heard of them and thought why not. The restaurant was definitely on theme with the essence of Latin culture and also had a really nice brunch vibe. We were able to seat ourselves. I will say that we did find service to be very slow as we ordered drinks to the table. It took them some time to get the drinks and we had to prompt the wait staff to let them know we were ready to order our food 30 minutes in to us being seated. The menu was short and sweet but there were many options for breakfast at a great price point. I ordered the blueberry pancakes that came with eggs and bacon. The wait for the food to be served was very long. My group wasn't bothered by it too much because we tried to keep the table full of $2 mimosas. However there was a table next to us who left because after an hour they had only had drinks and no food. When are food was served my pancakes were cold and missing butter. When I asked the staff for butter they brought me cold butter along with cold syrup. Some of the other people at my table did not have that experience their food was warm their butter was melted after realizing that they had missed a few people at the table. The good thing about it was after trying my food I chose to go with a tostada instead as it was also on their regular lunch menu item. I really enjoyed my tostada you could dress it anyway you wanted and it was loaded. There was a really great DJ and she kept a Vibe going the whole time. My party was there till about 2:00. I ended my time there with a coffee that was made to perfection. I believe that the service will get better as the staff get acquainted with having more people in the restaurant. I sort of had the impression that the amount of traffic that they were getting may have surprised them. Hopefully the service time and wait can be shorter. They also let me know that they're doing weekly watch parties for love Island so we may be back for that.

    Oh boy, where do I begin. Let me preface this by saying I have been so excited to try this place…read moresince it opened. Once I heard this place was coming to Selma, I thought it was a fantastic idea (two of my favorite food types in one experience!) To say I was severely disappointed is an understatement. Myself and two others decided to give Curry Cantina a shot on a Friday afternoon. We got there 45 minutes after they opened for business for the day. When we walked the place was empty besides the 3 workers in there. During our entire experience, we were the only ones in there during the hour we spent in there. The first issue we had was they did not have a menu up at the time of arrival. Since it was our first time there, this was quite troublesome. We were able to look up a menu online after a few minutes but this is a big inconvenience for us. They were able to get the menu up when we finished ordering. The next issue with our visit was the lack of urgency of care by the employee helping us out. She seemed a bit annoyed that we asked a few questions about how ordering works. We would order something and the employee would walk away for an extended period of time without saying a word or a sense of urgency. From the time we walked in, it took about 15-20 minutes for us to order our 3 items (a bit long considering we were the only ones in there). This employee looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there. Another issue we had was the lack of options available. They only had 1 out of the 4 normal rice options they have on their menu. According to the worker, the others were "not ready yet". You would think that 45 minutes into opening they would be ready for business that day. They also did not have all the protein options available that were on their menu. As far as the food goes, it was nothing impressive. The samosas are frozen and come out of a box, the naan is store bought, and there is a lack of freshness. Part of our food was luke-warm at best when it was served. As far as the space itself, it is dark inside and was not super clean. There appeared to be articles of clothing left on some tables and booths from the event the night before. There were ants crawling on the table I first sat down on. The condiment bar looked messy and the condiments did not appear fresh or cold. Customer service, cleanliness, and quality/ taste of food are the most important aspects to a dining experience for me. This place missed the mark on all 3 of those categories unfortunately. One positive aspect of this places is the prices are really reasonable for the portions you get. You can get a filling meal for less than $10. I normally give places a second chance after a poor dining experience but, after this one; I don't think I will be back anytime soon. Such a bummer as this place has a lot of potential.
