About Indian Express Takeaway
A newer grilled section brings momos, or fried dumplings, to the menu at Indian Express Takeaway, an Indian takeaway on Antrim Road in Newtownabbey, where they sit alongside tandoori mixed grill and paneer tikka. The curry list runs to rogan josh and lamb madras, with garlic naan a common accompaniment and dips, including a garlic dip, served with the food. Biryani, among them chicken biryani, is a regular order, and kebabs, wraps and pulao rice fill out the rest of the menu. Orders are placed over the phone or online. The kitchen serves in the evenings only, and it stays closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Customer Review Summary
Garlic naan anchors much of the praise, named alongside the paneer tikka by one diner and paired with rogan josh, lamb madras and biryani by another who ordered twice. Chicken biryani comes up again from a visitor who called it superb, and other reviewers single out the tandoori mix with beef they describe as succulent and tender, the garlic dip, the "special 65" chicken and the fried dumplings from the newer grilled menu. Several describe the food as authentic and flavourful, the delivery reliable and the welcome friendly, with one crediting the person taking phone orders for kindness. The dissent is real though. One reviewer found the kebabs, salt and chilli chicken wrap and pulao rice inedible, describing flavourless chicken in bread with no salad or sauce, and binning the order. Another, still fond of the place, says online prices have climbed past what a nearby Indian restaurant charges and no longer feels justifiable.

“There's always a friendly warm welcome in this takeaway. If you are going to try this place, gets the "special 65" chicken. The new grilled menu has lots to choose from, the fried dumplings are very good!”

“We have ordered twice from Indian Express and we were very happy. Food was great. Rogan josh, lamb madras, biryani and garlic naan were really wonderful. We will definitely order again. Special mention to Rajesh who has been very kind and friendly when taking orders over the phone. I hope I spelled your name correctly.”
