★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Where 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.
August 02 · Andrew RicciThe restaurant is cozy and uniquely decorated! Loved the interior! It was quite a long drive for us, still went there seeing great reviews with a 4.9 rating. However, the food taste was no where near what we expected! The reviews could be due to the customers being largely American! It would taste bland and flavorless for anyone from the South Asian countries! I still gave it a 3 star as the demographic it serves in the area is mostly non South Asian and probably that’s why they adjusted the flavors accordingly! The Manager Joseph was very friendly! If we visit again, we ll visit for the interior and the friendly service, not for the food!
March 12 · Faria MadhumitaI was looking for an Indian restaurant in Ridgefield, Connecticut & saw their Google 4.9 star review. The food & service were very good. They even offered us a few freebie desserts to sample. We will definitely be going back again when we're in the area.
March 24 · Ilene LazarDelicious 😋WOW Great Taste of Jaipore!I’ve tried the Chicken Tikka Masala, and that was the Perfection! Recommended. A MUST.Well done. A very friendly atmosphere and great hospitality. Thank you 🙏🏻PS: Mix pickles - are super spicy 🌶️
December 28 · Khusravbek MurodovVisited this restaurant for the first time this evening. We started with the Veg samosas and the lassoni gobi, shared chicken tikka masala for our entree and finished with the rice pudding for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. Ambiance is nice and the service was excellent. Will be visiting again soon!
