Kerala Express India Food and Grocery

“Kerala Express serves authentic Kerala cuisine with exceptional taste that leaves a lasting impression. The location is convenient and adds to the overall experience. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. A must-visit for anyone craving delicious Kerala food!”

I visited Kerala Express last night for their biriyani combo, which offered three types of biriyani—Malabar, Thalassery, and Chennai Kalyana biriyani—for $15.99. Among them, the Thalassery biriyani was my favorite—it was one of the best biriyanis I’ve had in Dallas! The flavors were good and the coconut chammanthi served on the side was a perfect complement. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone craving delicious South Indian biriyani!

One of the best Kerala food restaurant. my favorite was kappa Biriyany. Porotta and Beef fry was so delicious. The porotta was perfectly flaky and soft .If you’re looking for authentic Kerala food, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend!

This place is a gem for its delicious Kerala delicacies. Tried their Samudra meals which was so good and this meals also included a fish pollichath and that was one of the best Kerala fish preparation I have ever had in USA. Thalassery Chicken kizhi biriyani was mouth watering and this was accompanied with raita , chutney papad and a pickle. We also tried their kizhi porotta which was awesome. It’s a must try place for Kerala food. The price and rates are very reasonable and the service is good too

Absolutely delicious porotta and mutton curry! The porotta was perfectly flaky and soft, and the mutton curry was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. If you’re looking for authentic Kerala food, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend!

“New owners have taken over, and we tried the Malabar Chicken Biryani — it was absolutely delicious with great flavor. The Pothichoru came with a generous variety of items and was also very good. The sambar stood out as especially tasty. I’d definitely visit again.” the food was good in the beginning but now not that good. Stopped going there food sucks now.

The staff was super friendly and the biriyani. It had traditional spice that I’ve been looking forward. Super good food.

Egg baji, onion vada and parippu vada were all really crispy and tasty. Kizhi porotta was delicious with egg and chicken on top👍🏻👍🏻 Peri peri beef was spicy and tasty too — new item that I have never tried before

On Sundays, you will get authentic Kerala dishes in to-go packs. I really like their dishes. As far as i know, there is no dine-in as of now. You can also get fresh hot snacks and a small grocery store attached.

Awesome experience!! I ordered some food from Kerala Express restaurant. It was sooo delicious and mouth melting. In fact it was the best as compared to the other catering that I have ordered from ever. The traditional Kerala food like Butter milk, Coconut chutney, Pickle, Beef, Fish curry, Fish fry, literally everything are way beyond words. I can assure you that there were no additives or color that was added to the food. I was able to taste the real authentic flavor in each dish. That was one among the main reasons why everyone enjoy it the most.. Good luck! Way to go!

This place is amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend them for catering. We’ve recently had a big event and we called this place, they arrived on time.. and provided delicious food! We are truly grateful to Babu and the team there for providing the best. We’ve received A LOT compliments on their food and made a lot of referrals there. If you want a place that cares about people and want to do the best, trust this company! Thank You Kerala Express-Babu for providing the absolute best. May God bless you!

First of all, the location will confuse you. It is in a sort of business strip, in a faceless, characterless corner of South Irving, without even a name board. My guess is that the place is not zoned for food service. Second, food is, as the name claims 100% Kerala. Unapologetically so. So if you are looking for generic Indian stuff like naan and butter chicken, wrong place to go. Food is very tasty, period. But it feels unhealthy, soaked/dripping in oil. I had an upset stomach the first time I ate here. The girl who was managing the cash counter and waiting on us at the same time was exceptionally good. Nice, well spoken and efficient. She flat out refused to accept a tip at the end, which was unbelievable in this day and age. Interior is basic, and pricing is slightly above average.

I went to the shop on Monday thinking they were open around 6:30 but they weren’t. Called and checked every possible thing but no reasoning was provided to say why they were closed so I don’t know which hours are actually real

They have the worst service you can expect. I have been on call with them requesting to have Sandhya to be packed for one person. They just say they will not do it and it has to be for 5 persons only. Have been requesting for 2 hours on call and it’s an 1 hr drive for me but still they are simply rejecting. I said I will pay for 5 but give me one person as I don’t want to waste the food. The owner is rude he says he doesn’t care about the persons feelings nor interests. He just won’t listen to any requests. No hospitality at all.

I was asked to wait for 1hr and they ruthlessly sent me away saying they dont have containers to pack to-go order for my Vishu Sadhya. Where dis his ears go when I initially asked him for the order. Had a worst experience on a day which my community celebrates as an auspicious day. Never coming back here again.

Went during a time that's mentioned as open hours in their website and door, but the place is closed and contact number is suspended. Waste of time
