I recently ordered from Masala Express, and it was fantastic! I got the butter chicken with basmati rice, samosas, and garlic naan. The butter chicken had a great flavor – creamy, rich, and satisfying. I went for the mild spice level, and it was perfect: just enough to be flavorful without overwhelming my taste buds. The basmati rice was fluffy and fragrant, and the garlic naan was fresh, soft, and deliciously garlicky. The samosas were crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside, making the perfect appetizer. Overall, this meal was excellent, and I would absolutely order it again. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious Indian food!

The Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan are fabulous. I have had this dish more than 3 times, and the quality is always consistent. The food is flavorful, and the portions are enough for two servings. I highly recommend Masala Express!

Since taste of little India closed this is the best Indian food in Merced and I will come here every time because it's so convenient and always portioned correctly. I can't get enough of the fresh tasting quality food.

We are from out of town and whenever we're in the area, we usually order from Masala Express. The food is consistently good and arrives fresh. This time we ordered the Achari, Bhindi Masala, Dal Muradabadi, and Gulab Jamun.
The Dal Muradabadi is always our favorite dish. It's flavorful, comforting, and the one item we make sure to order every time. The Achari Chicken Masala and Bhindi Masala were both enjoyable, and the Gulab Jamun was a nice sweet treat to finish the meal.
Overall, a solid meal and a reliable option when we're visiting Merced.

Butter chicken was off the chain, although spicier than expected, which wasn't a problem for me but probably too spicy for my toddler. Next time I will ask for less spicy. Saag Paneer was also very good. This is the best Indian food I've had in the Central Valley so far. Looking forward to ordering from Masala Express a lot more.
