4.0
Where do you go to find the best Indian food? Certainly not Long Island. Not New York City. Not even London. We’ve been to all and the best is right here in Ridgefield, CT. For the juiciest, most tender chicken - not just chicken tikka - that’s any chicken EVER, then come to Jaipore Xpress. We found this restaurant by mere chance on July 4th last year because every other restaurant in Connecticut was closed. Well, what a surprise we were in for! Now we regularly drive 150 miles round trip to Ridgefield, Connecticut from Long Island just to get the best Indian food we’ve ever had. And it’s not limited to just the chicken - it’s the chaat, masala, seafood, shrimp, and biryani, too. All the most high-quality and flavorful you’ve ever had. Jaipore Xpress is a true gem and rare find - I feel like I should keep this restaurant a secret to myself instead of writing this review! Oh, and did I mention the portions are huge? You’ll have leftovers enough for another meal or two. - Andrew Ricci
