Curry Express

🍛 What is Curry Express

Curry Express is an Indian restaurant based in Belgrade — just a short drive from Bozeman — that has earned a reputation as a go-to spot for authentic Indian cuisine in the Gallatin Valley. Curry Express+2distinctlymontana.com+2 Founded in 2013 by Raj Singh and Priyanka Singh, it was the first Indian restaurant in the area. Visit Bozeman Blog+1

Over time, as the local appetite for Indian flavors grew, the same team expanded into downtown Bozeman with a full-service concept under a different name — but Curry Express remains the original quick-service Indian spot for many locals. Yellowstone Country+1

• Authentic and honest cooking — With a commitment to fresh spices and scratch cooking, the flavors stay true to Indian culinary traditions rather than being overly westernized. Curry Express+1

• Great variety for many diets — With options for meat-lovers, vegetarians, and those seeking gluten-free or milder dishes, there’s something for nearly everyone.

• Close to Bozeman — easy to access — While physically in Belgrade, it’s close enough to Bozeman that many people in Bozeman or neighboring towns treat Curry Express as a convenient go-to. Visit Bozeman Blog+1
