About Us

In here, it’s always a feast!

Based in the heart of San Jose, Desi Express is a fast-casual family restaurant serving healthy and delicious Indian fare. The Desi Express story began when we discovered there are plenty of people who love Indian cuisine in our neighborhood. Inspired by this discovery, we spent countless hours developing recipes that would allow us to bring this fresh flavor to this town. It was, then, we decided to create a menu that’s more Indian but presented in a local style. The flavorful Indian food, communal seating, and easy ordering fired up our hunger for something different than what was usual at the time. What we created is not any less than what you’ll experience in Indian households. Our guests love what we've built here in San Jose, and are excited to get a taste of it! Our chefs bring these tastes and flavors to life with their expert culinary tricks. From traditional Indian dishes like Dahi Papdi Chaat, Samosa Chaat or Mumbai to fusion dishes like Rasmalai Cake Truffle and Chicken Tikka Masala Sandwich to more contemporary preparations, we hope you'll enjoy the food so much that you might end up returning to us every time. Our food is a reflection of Indian cuisine that would nurture your memories of India. Come by to experience the different cultures of the country through food and explore new adventures every day.

You’ll be able to smell the aroma of warm pastries, sandwiches and masala tea right from the entrance.
