Each dish balances traditional recipes with modern presentation, catering to both mild and spicy preferences. Available for delivery or collection with options for single portions or family meals.

Just moved into the area and they stuck a menu through the door so thought I'd give them a try. Very polite on the phone but the food was not so good. I ordered a jalfrezi but that's not what I got. It was a curry I guess but not a jalfrezi. Food was cold on arrival, chicken was dry and severely overcooked, drowning in oil, felt like I'd been served up leftovers of someone else's curry. Can't be bothered complaining no point, won't be using again

Had our first delivery from Guru Express. Very clear and precise when ordering, kept upto date with the order, but most of all the food was great. Delivery driver (tall, short hair) was extremely polite, Will definitely order again.

Tiger Special Lamb & Egg Fried Rice, with Lime Pickle and Papadom. Lovely spiced curry, not too sweet or hot. Excellent rice, light and fluffy Basmati, well flavoured with a hint of corriander. Tangy lime pickle and dry crunchy Papadoms not greasy at all. Walked in ordered, always very friendly and chatty, excellent customer service. If you fancy a Indian then Guru Express won't let you down. I'd say they are the best Indian takeaway on London Road.

Hair in food. Rang up to raise the issue to the restaurant and they were very rude. Nothing was sorted and they hung up on us. Won't be ordering from here again. Also they have no spice to there food. Was completely put off. What a waste.
