About Masala Express

Two kitchens, one counter — India and Nepal, side by side.

The story behind the trays at Lambton Square Eatery.

Masala Express has been serving the Wellington community from Lambton Square Eatery since 2012. Located in the heart of Wellington CBD, we specialise in authentic Indian and Nepalese cuisine, offering a diverse selection of freshly prepared dishes.

Our menu brings together traditional curries, freshly prepared naan and other tandoor-cooked dishes, biryani, house-made momo, fried rice, chow mein and traditional Himalayan thukpa — alongside an extensive made-to-order menu, freshly prepared by our experienced kitchen team using traditional ingredients, spices and cooking techniques.

Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch, ordering something fresh from our made-to-order menu, or planning catering for a workplace, corporate function or special occasion — Masala Express brings the flavours of India and Nepal to the heart of Wellington.

What Sets Us Apart

Why people come back

01

Made fresh, daily

Curries are cooked in small batches through the day, not held over from the day before.

02

Two cuisines, one counter

Indian curries and tandoor breads alongside Nepalese momo and thukpa — genuinely different kitchens, side by side.

03

Dietary options, clearly marked

Many curries are made without wheat or dairy — look for the tags on the tray and on our menu.
