Curry Express in Southwark

Not used for a while as I tried some others but my favourite and still one of the best out there - plenty of flavour especially the Prawn Puri and the Garlic Mushroom - gave a complimentary free side dish too which was a bonus. Will be back - Thanks

My food was very late. I called the restaurant twice and they were very unhelpful. The delivery driver made me come and get my order. The food was cold when it arrived

i ordered at 7.37pm, it's 9.15 pm and no food has arrived. i've rated 1 star because i can't give it 0 stars. i called the restaurant and the person who answered just told me to wait 15 mins. i asked how he knew where i was calling from and what my postcode was but he doesn't speak english so just put the phone down. i called back three times before he finally answered and told me to wait another 5 minutes. i have no idea if my food has even left yet or if it has when it left. i live 3.2 miles from the restaurant so no idea why it would possibly take over 1hr 30mins on a sunday night for a chicken korma and a tikka masala. i've had to try and arrange to get a refund through just eat. such a shame as i've been using this place since i moved to london over 9 years ago - i don't know if the ownership has changed but this is twice in 3 weeks i've had issues, last time one of the main dishes was missing and i had to call and ask for it. absolute shambles.

Food was brilliant delivery was ok but was worth the wait would deffently Recommend not alot of good Indians around anymore this is the best

Best curry i've ever had, expensive restaurant quality food is cooked here. I used to be all about Chinese take out or pizza..they have converted me! Consistently good food each and every single time, the driver's are always polite and friendly. Occasionally they forget the free papadum but they are happy to include extra if you tell them for next time. Thanks guys!

I was told that it would take 1.5 hours for my food to be delivered once I had ordered it, this was pretty shocking anyway and then it was still delivered 20 minutes later than that time so I waited nearly 2 hours for my order (which was not a large or complicated one). Once it did then arrive there were also 2 items missing.

Used to order from curry express weekly, it's a shame. The chicken curry had 5 pieces of chicken, was swimming in oil, somehow super salty but super spicy at the same time and had some weird greenery that was extremely bitter if bitten into. The rice was fine. The butter chicken was sickly sweet instead of having a twinge of sweetness like it used to. The bombay aloo was ridiculously spicy. That and they delivered us someone else's korma, so last night someone also received a rice with no korma. Unsure if there were chef changes, but the quality is awful all of a sudden.

Very few chicken pieces, too much oil, Rice missing.

No salad or mint sauce with the onion bhaji, they were also very dry. Tha naan bread seemed undercooked. Korma and butter chicken were nothing special.

I would give the restaurant 0 stars if I could. Visiting London for a dew days and decided to order from a supposedly 'highly rated' restaurant nearly. Just Eat said restaurant will deliver in 45 -60 minutes but the delivery time I got was 90 minutes after order was placed! I realized the restaurant is a 3 min walk from me and decided to just walk over and collect my food. There is NO restaurant in Weston Street. The numbers on the listing do not work - tried calling 20 times at least! No response. Food showed up after 90 minutes and they even managed to get the order wrong. Yay? HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE<, FOOD IS OILY and DOES NOT TASTE GOOD. Just get a ready meal from Sainsbury's!

The food taste was good but not very great and quantity was less. The poppadum were smelling as if they were fried in the same reused oil.

Shocking customer service and 2 hours late.

Dreadful stone cold rank smelling greasy food. Driver threw strop as he didn’t want to deliver to door and purposely kept me waiting then claimed not to have change. Beware.

Unfortunately food quality was low as was the packaging.

most tasty curry I’ve had in ages!

first time ordering. mushroom and egg fried rices weren’t that great. but the korma and chicken tikka were good. nice hot nan breads and food was on time

I've ordered from Curry Express for years as it was great however they have now changed owners are now 'Curry Queen'- I ordered today without this knowlege and was so disappointed as the food wasn't good at all and annoyed as if i knew they had changed I would of order somewhere else.

Food was lovely but cold when arrived and arrived very late - called twice to be told it would be there in 5 minutes and didn't even ask which order was mine. Shame as lovely food and very polite delivery guy

Rang the restaurant, spoke to someone who didn’t speak English, told me the order was on its way, half an hour later spoke to someone else who said it was now out for delivery, it arrived 5 mins later (restaurant just around the corner by car). Meal was cold, had to be re-heated. I appreciate Sat night is peak time but thought that we were waiting long enough from 5.30-7pm. Then to have another half an hour added and a cold meal.. not great.

Ordered mixed Biryani which was meant to have an omelette on top, but that was missing. Gave this restaurant the last chance as have had very poor meals the last two times. They were the best curry takeaway in the area. Have really gone down hill. Thus will be the last time I use them.

Delivery guy came 75 minutes early and when I mentioned it he said to put it in the oven until we wanted to eat . Food was disappointingly bland ,

The food arrived cold 1.5 hours after the suggested delivery time, contacted the restaurant several times to be told yes out for delivery will be there in 10 minutes. Don't bother using unless you want to wait all evening for cold food.

Everything good apart from the the way it had been packed curry sauce leaked into the carrier bag..

Curry Express got our order to us through J.Eat extremely fast. Food was fine although I asked for a Phall and got something with almost no heat, so I was unimpressed with the accuracy of the order or if they did get the order right, they have no clue that a Phall should be the hottest curry not the same het as a Korma.

Order was placed at 18:20 with an estimate of between 50 minutes to 1 hour for delivery. This then changed to an estimate of 1 hour and 15 minutes after placing the order and then food actually didn’t arrive until an hour and 40 minutes after ordering. The driver couldn’t find our address, even tho it’s a main block of flats on a major road. Won’t be ordering from here again.

Delicious and much earlier than expected!

Our order was over an hour late. I called the restaurant three times, the first two times they said the order was ready and on it's way, the third time I was told that the order was being cooked.

Food was not delivered at all !!!

Food was absolutely beautiful but the delivery was late.

Waited over an hour only to be told food won't be arriving at all, employee put the phone down on me, refused to answer my calls. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTERAUNT.......

Not good food, wouldn't recommend

Received below par food from another restaurant?? Have used furry express many times and in comparison this was greasy, bland and the meat quality was poor.

all of the food was really nice but slow delivery

the food was late, when it arrived it was cold, the chicken tikka main wasnt a very big portion, the bombay potatoes were very nice a big dissapointment was the popadoms and mango chutney they were rock hard and chewy and the mango chutney was running and had bits in which tasted nothing like mango such a shame :(

Great meal. Unfortunately the poppadoms were soft and the roti was rock hard. The curry was great.

Food was tasty but delivered so late There was no update on my order and just a 'sorry yeah when it finally atrived. Disapointing.

Intenté esto por primera vez la semana pasada y quedé muy impresionado. Los tamaños de las porciones eran muy buenos y el sabor era fantástico. No me puedo quejar de nada, incluido el precio. Estuvieron atentos, educados y preocupados porque me dieron exactamente lo que pedí. Este es, de lejos, el mejor curry que he tenido en mucho tiempo.

Soo much sauce and not much meat. We was also given the wrong drink

Food arrived 2hrs late, food was super cold and soggy. After calling the resturant to bring this up, all they said was sorry for that. AVOID THIS PLACE, SAVE MONEY AND SAVE TIME FOR ANOTHER NICE HOT MEAL. UNPROFESSIONAL!

Nearly 2 hours late...popadoms are stale. More oil than tin of Castrol...properly gone downhill....not happy...used to be the best

absolute tragedy. 2 hours to arrive. half-portions. swimming in grease. never again. tragedy.

Ordered food at 21:30pm arrived at 12 midnight after having to continuously call the restaurant who used the same excuse driver couldn't find my address which is very hard to believe as the restaurant is 10 minutes drive away not 2 hours and 30 minutes away.

Have used curry express for 15 plus years and never been disappointed, although it was nice enough The food has been so much better in the past. I have always recommend it to everyone I know. So left a little disappointed this time.

The first time we ordered from here there were items missing from the order and said it would take 2 hours for them to come back to us with the missing items. The food also arrived late. The second time ordering with them the food did not arrive at all. Payment was taken and the order was marked as delivered. We tried to call the resturant, however they closed earlier than they were supposed to. Would not order from them again.

not what it used to be, naan is stale, rice is unseasoned, portions are less than what they use to be, such a shame.

Food was delivered on time, but without the free poppadums. Why bother mentioning them if you don't give them? Only leaves a bad taste in the customer's mouth. On that note, the food quality was disgraceful. Everything was swimming in oil and super super salty. We literally threw half of it away. Never buying from this place again.

They missed out on the free poppadoms this time & I did request them in the notes - other than that all ok

Really nice food, would definitely order from here again! Really good value for money too.

Not the first time i use this restaurant and every time is late and the order incomplete. same again today.

delivery estimate was already over an hour from order time, and then food was 20 minutes later than the estimate

great service but the food was so incredibly salty, I tasted from all of the dishes we bought tonight and they were all just saturated i could barely taste the difference between them.

The food was well over an hour late and the quality was extremely poor

Masla order and the sambosa was not delicious at all

Awful service. Ordered at 1925 at which point delivery was supposed to be 2010. The delivery time was updated to 2040 but still hadn't arrive by 2110. I called the restaurant but it kept going through to answer phone. Eventually called Just Eat who eventually got through. Finally got delivery at 2140 with no proper apology. The food was not even any good when it did arrive. Do not order from here - I should have taken heed of the other reviews

Food never turned up. We could of walked to pick it up. never again

Food took over 2 hours to be delivered. I phone up when the initial delivery time had passed and was told the driver was sent out 30 mins ago and that he was in the area. Phone again after another 15 mins and was told the driver must be stuck in traffic. Still hasn't appeared so phone just eat. They contacted the restaurant and which had said they had a backlog of orders and the kitchen was really busy. So the first time I had phone I'm pretty sure my food hadn't even left the restaurant yet. It eventually turned 2 hours 20 mins late and to top it off they forgot the drink I had ordered. I was offered a free side the next time I order which was an absolute joke. Definitely will not order from here again.

What has happened to Curry Express?? We have used for years but this latest experience was awful in every way. Food was well over an hour late and was Luke warm when it arrived. One container was spilt and half the sauce at the bottom of the bag. One item was totally wrong. No sauce for the bhajis. Food overly salty. Too make matters worse the restaurant is not answering it's phone and just goes to voicemail. I tried numerous times. Just Eat tried too to no avail. Such a shame Curry Express has gone so down hill.

Very nice food, always use this Indian, but tonight the food took over 2 hours and was missing 2 items :(

changed delivery time once ordered but still nearly two hours later it arrived cold

1 hour 45 to deliver!! no apology made. never again

good luck trying to get food delivered from here! really late

poor service takes way longer than expected! waited hour and half

over an hour and half late! try somewhere else

very slow delivery and late every time

“Curry Express”!!!! more like “Curry ‘takes over 2 hrs to deliver’”!!!! ok food, but not happy about being hung up on when asking why the food is over an hour late. My advice: try somewhere else.

Tikka lamb was so tough we struggled to cut it with a steak knife. We even questioned if it we were served mutton. The chunks were so large that they needed cutting. Lamb had no seasoning or marinade. Sauce was nice and thick, apart from the Dansak had no sweetness. Bread was nearly as tough as the lamb. Will not order from them again.

Food arrived an hour late than delivery time although I live just down the road. I called them twice and was told driver is on his way. when food finally arrived taste was alright but most bizarre was mango lassi boiling hot in food container. Disappointing to say the least

The food never got delivered. Restaurant didn’t pick up our call.

Restaurant called just after my order was accepted (19:05). To state they had temporarily moved location, so I could not collect. Offered free delivery, called an hour and a half later to be told delivery was on route. 21:27 and still no food. Customers should be informed of change of location before ordering online. So disappointed, as they service and food was really good.

always usually good food but placed order for 6:45pm, received a text that the order will be 7:15pm food did not arrive until after 8:15pm.

Unfortunately very poor service, ridiculously late delivery and low quality food. after waiting over an hour I called to enquire as to the whereabouts of our meal and was told it was on its way (the justeat app told me it had been delivered but this was not the case). After another 40 minutes I called again. It took three attempts but finally got through and was told it was nearly with me. The reason given was that their location had moved, but then it shouldn’t still deliver to my area if that’s a problem. Finally the food arrived after about 2 hours. Sadly the dishes were luke warm by then and the onion bhajis were soggy and tasted horrible. They also didn’t include poppodums despite advertising that these were free for orders over £14. I would have happily bought a couple if I hadn’t seen this deal offered. Overall a very bad service and so ‘t be ordering again

The chicken curry had absolutely no flavour whatsoever, the naan bread was thin, almost crumbly and cold. They also delivered a bottle of diet coca-cola instead of original.

The onion bhagi were disgusting. Tasted of rotten onions; guess whoever made them figured deep frying would hide the taste. The rest seemed ok but could not get the rotten onion taste out of our mouths. Ended up throwing most of the meal away. Had good meals from here in the post but these bhagi were unforgivable; will not order from here again.

1 hour 45 for food to arrive (20 mins after delivery slot) but was really good when it finally got here.

Ordered at 1735 and still waiting for it at 2000. Silly excuses about how busy they are. Then tell me the driver has four orders on board and we are the last one, so expecting the food to be cold. Last time ordering here.

excellent food and always find that they deliver 20-30 minutes early!

To be delivered at 8.35. Rang at 8.40. Told it was on it's way. Delivered at 9.00, 90 minutes after placing order. Order incomplete no naan

The food was great, but right after ordering, they changed delivery time from an hour to 90 min. I called 2 hours after ordering and they said the food was on the way. 30 min later they stopped answering their phone. It finally arrived 1.5 hours late (from their already delayed estimated time). At no point was I updated on progress or even told it was delayed. I understand being busy, but perhaps they should stop accepting orders if they can’t handle the volume.

We have been using this restaurant for quite a while and the food is absolutely gorgeous! Best Indian we’ve found in the area. Unfortunately, their timing isn’t perfect. Last night the meal was over half an hour late. I phoned the restaurant twice to see what was happening and was told it was on it’s way and that they’d been very busy. I was concerned that the food would be cold. but it was still hot. Amazing food but their scheduling needs a little work. Well worth a try.

We used to love this place but the quality has dropped: our usual dishes were unrecognisable, delivery was slow and the food was cold.

missing 4 popadom. missing 2 mango chutney. called them up. didn’t want to deliver popadoms. would rather put it as credit on next order. I pushed and they said it would take an hour. I’m really sad. I loved every other order from curry express I had made in past. and I don’t order that often. such a shame they have dropped their standards. :-( :-( :-( I love you curry express. please come back to what you used to be!!!!!! xx

Didn't get the free side order or poppadoms as outlined on the site

The curry tasted like water with a side of water, the naan bread and rice was overcooked.

food arrived after 2 hours! it’s totally not acceptable

Extremely late - over an hour from.their already altered delivery time which they added 20 minutes on. I can accept that they were busy but I was promised a call back with an update twice and twice I needed to call back. The chef - I assume he is also the manager - basically slipped his way around every request for a refund and in the end I just gave up. Good good, poor customer service and very bad delivery time

What an absolute disappointment, I am most unhappy. The food was so late and the paper bag split at our front door inside while the driver was present due to paper bag being to greasy. Our carpet is ruined at our front door my girlfriends foot has been mildly burnt and the restaurant took no responsibility what so ever, had it of been on time perhaps the paper bag wouldn't have got to that stage of greasiness. I think you guys should consider stronger bags or plastic bags over the paper bags. The restaurant refused us a refund or replacement meal, This was particularly frustrating because the driver seen what had happened, he knew that it was unavoidable the bag was just ready to split. No refund, no food £22 down. Didn't have the opportunity to taste the food so thought it would be unfair to rate which is why I have given a neutral score for quality. Will never order again and will most definitely not be recommending to friends or family. For anyone considering an order from this restaurant that hasn't before, the food might taste great, might even arrive early but if anything was to go pear shaped I would rely on these guys taking any responsibility.

delivered over 2 hours late and cold.

Very delicious food. Will certainly order again - just a little late.

shocking. I phoned several times and was told the delivery was on the doorstep. when it finally arrived over an hour late it was freezing. the restaurant refused to do anything other than offer a free starter and implied it was my fault for not complaining sooner. they couldn’t take the order back as the drivers shift had finished. awful truly awful. absolutely no pride at all in their service or any concern. the worst service I have ever. received on just eat anywhere.

The food took more than 90 minutes to be delivered, when the estimate was 30. It was cold. There was hardly any meat - only about 3 pieces each!

Exceptional but slightly greasy, would order again.

Amazing food the best Indian food I’ve ever had

The food was great hot and well delicious

great food, delivery not so good

Beautiful! We always order from here. I ordered something different this time and it was divine

Lovely <3 But I did note not to ring the door bell and they did. But apart from that, fantastic!

Food was good but the quantity I was given for what I paid for was absolutely ridiculous and on top of that I had to call them up just to ask what happened to the curry sauce in my curry!!! Never ordering from this shop AGAIN Scams!!!

Really yummy food, delivered dead on time. Unfortunately they forgot to include veg curry with the biryani (a key component). Response when I telephoned to log the problem was vaguely apologetic, however, the remedy offered was ‘free veg curry next time, and a side’ - nice but not necessarily good considering I was left with dry rice. They said they couldn’t deliver the curry this evening as it would ‘take three hours to arrive’. I asked for it anyway, and it arrived within an hour, which I was super grateful for. Conclusion: food really tastey, but possibly need to sort out organisation/ making customers feel wanted!

Despite the arrive time. The Food was superb, would definitely order from Curry Express again 😁

Great food, great prices, great service
