Food is amazing but the seating formation is not very family friendly which is purely due to the available space. But you can’t beat the food

From healthy hearty food to good soul food, Desi Express has it and is THE place to go. From a very young age, I’ve been coming here to eat and it’s beautiful to see how the people working there, the food and the interior has progressed. I am both enamoured and impressed with the devotion that the staff have to their work and the service they provide. For me, as a mixed desi Asian I have attended many food places that try to really conceptualise and deliver traditional food. It also makes me someone who is very particular about what she likes and she knows her stuff. However, nowhere holds a place in my heart like Desi Express.

Worst type of food. Unhygienic and tasteless. Had a takeaway, found 5 hairs in the Dal makhni. Had to throw it all away. Avoid going there at all cost unless you like finding hairs in random slices of naan or dal or currys

We go get some chicken curry and plain naan. Naan was fresh and made to order and very good. However, the staff who are cooking are absolutely disgusting. Me and my friends were literally looking at them and they dropped a whole plate of uncooked wings on the floor, picked it up using bare hands, put it back on the plate and took a few to grill. Absolutely disgusting, they saw us look at it and just laughed about it and didn’t care at all. I cannot imagine what kinda process they must be doing being the kitchen. We left even without taking our food even though we had paid.

Amazing food cheapest in. Nottinghamshire. Thanks Google for showing us this place kids love it I love it and wife triple time loves it because she doesn't need to cook for the night lol. Could do with more seating area as we live 50 miles away Lincoln so was disappointed last time turned uo for iftaar and no tables left so had to go home hungry 50 miles again.

Lamb curry tastes old they put nasty red sauce in it they leave onions and tomatoes ginger and garlic inside curry. Not home style at all, they should make fresh curry with no sauce in it. The curry is always red looking if you Want this nasty curry you will be getting food poisoning !

The food tastes homely. The portions are awesome and with each bowl of curry they give u roti without any extra charge which is kind of awesome and pocket friendly. The only problem is they dont accept cards so make sure u take cash with you while you are planning to visit them.

Been passed this restaurant a few times and it’s always looked busy. Our usual was off limits so we thought we’d give this a try. Ordered a standard chicken curry, chips and roti. Service was prompt, food was (too) hot and chips were freshly cooked. Tasted average. Overall experience was ok - the place is busy so food must be good. Price was cheap. Possibly try again.

Was passing through, needed a traditional desi curry hard to find find during this COVID19 time. Went for a lamb curry, and it was bang on! Fresh rotis and nan to go with it. Delicious, nice and spicy to point it didn't distract from the flavours. Great service, and fantastic value for money. Puts expensive restaurants to shame. Highly recommended. Only issue was parking, but once you get that sorted your good.

Got recommended to come to Desi Express, by a friend. Came all the way from London and the customer service was shambolic! Worst customer service I have ever received. The waiters were extremely rude and ignorant. They also ignored us multiple times, when we wanted to place an order and then after 20 minutes, he even got our order wrong!! Do not recommend this place to anyone. Stay home and eat. Save your money.

Recently refurbished, more space for seating and most importantly comfortable chairs that won’t break your back. The food is great for the price point. The food is quite oily unless you specifically request them not to make it oily which is a good thing. However, I discovered that the quality of the food can be substandard occasionally with cartilages left in the meat which isn’t pleasant at all. Generally, the food is good and I have found the standards to improve gradually over the years. The naan bread is better than before and the standard of service is becoming better.

Not as good as usual. No salad for the hot meat and both dishes were very oily and dishes arrived like they had been thrown around, all leaked out in the bag. I’m saddened our much awaited meal was delivered like this.
