She found it delicious and had enough for the next day. Joyce chose the Chennai Shrimp Curry ($14.99), shrimp cooked with the chefвЂ™s special masala with a side of rice. Their medium may seem hotter than our medium. Unlike a number of ethnic restaurants, they mean what they say.

Tender cooked pieces of lamb were marinated and spiced and slow-cooked with an aromatic basmati rice, garnished with greens, onion, and a hard boiled egg, with gravy and a cucumber dressing on the side. Vegetarian entrees range from Dal Tadka (lentils cooked with fresh spices) at $11.99 to a variety of paneer dishes cooked with everything from spinach to cheese at $12.99.ДЇrom a number of lamb entrees, I chose Lamb Biryani ($14.49) served differently вЂ“ in a large bowl вЂ“ from biryani I have had in other Indian restaurants. Vegetarian appetizers range from Cut Mirchi (chili battered and deep fried) at $7.99 to Paneer 65 (crisp fried paneer-cheese- tossed in a spicy masala) at $12.99.

We paid a visit last week, eating at one of five tables in the small dining room. Inquiring about Chennai Express on social media, I learned that patrons were giving it high ratings as вЂњtruly authentic Indian food.вЂќ FrankelвЂ™s waiting room, I noticed this tiny Indian restaurant across the street at 745 Reservoir Ave in Cranston.
