Frequently asked questions
What type of food is served?
indian express serves desi dishes built around spiced grills, curries, rice dishes, and naan-led meals. Guests typically browse signature plates first, then add sides or a deal.
What are the usual opening hours?
Most UK branches of indian express trade through lunch and evening service, but exact opening times vary by location - check your nearest store before you visit.
Do they offer delivery?
Many indian express locations support delivery through their own channels or major UK apps. Coverage and fees depend on your postcode and the branch.
Can I customise my order?
Yes - most indian express dishes can be adjusted for toppings, sauces, or sides, though not every item is fully customisable.
Are there vegetarian or vegan options?
Vegetarian-friendly desi dishes appear across the menu. Vegan suitability depends on cheese, sauces, and kitchen practice, so confirm with staff if you need a strict plant-based meal.
Is indian express halal?
