Confirm iftar. Before ordering an iftar set, confirm the included items and prices because one review reports they differed on arrival.

The Bottom Line

Curry Xpress is a Tamil-focused South Indian restaurant in Hor Al Anz, with additional Indian, Chinese, mandi and grilled choices. The most useful starting points are the 5 curry sappadu, mutton biryani, Chicken 65 Briyani and Chicken Al Faham Mandi. Reviewers looking for Tamil Nadu cooking often describe the flavours as authentic and home-like, while one regular says the taste has stayed consistent across more than 100 visits.

The menu has enough range for mixed groups. Diners have also mentioned fish curry meals, mutton stew, chicken fry, tea and Ramadan iftar sets. The setting is small but has been described as pleasant, peaceful and comfortable, with seating that works for families and friends.

Service reviews are mixed: many mention friendly staff and quick attention, but solo diners and Ramadan groups report being overlooked or left waiting. Pricing is another point to check. Some customers call it budget-friendly, while others say prices have risen and that naan, butter chicken and the 5 curry meals feel expensive.

Delivery has also been unreliable in at least one nearby order, so dining in is the safer choice when timing matters. During iftar, confirm the menu, price and availability before ordering, and consider avoiding the busiest periods.
