It's Masala Time

The food is the star in this restaurant. Full of spice but only spicy if you prefer, the sauces are incredibly well- balanced. The restaurant atmosphere is unassuming. The food will change your perception of the environment. And most important, the staff were comfortable with our party’s varying allergies. We ate and no felt any adverse affect after the fact. So if you have allergies, feel comfortable letting staff know. They are attentive.

​If you're craving some authentic flavors, listen up! Just had a meal that was straight-up Delhi style deliciousness! 🇮🇳 Ordered Tandoori Paneer Tikka, Spring Rolls as appetizers and the Kadai Paneer, Chhole Bhature, and the Chicken Tikka Masala as main course — ​The gravies were on point, they were bursting with flavor! Paired it all with the tasty and crispy Chilli-Garlic Naan. 👍 I am gonna go again and I recommend you to must try!

I love It’s Masala Time! After trying it once, I come weekly to eat lunch here. I enjoy trying new dishes across the menu. Everything is always fresh and able to be accommodated to your preferences! The staff is very kind and helpful, answering any questions that you have about the menu. Give this place a try, it’s worth it!

A welcome addition to downtown Elkton, bringing some international flavor to Main Street... We scoped 'It's Masala Time' out during one of our last visits to the Elkton Music Hall (don't miss that either). The menu is traditional Indian, but at an American level of spice. I am sure if you wanted your dish extra spicy they would be happy to accommodate you. 🤣 We had Pooni Puri (fun), Chicken Tikka Masala (an old stand by), Chicken Dhaba Style (ginger, garlic, tomatoes, chilies - YUM), and Laccha Parantha bread. All of the food was prepared well, served hot, in appropriate portions, and tasted superb. The dining room is modern with fun enlarged photos on the walls, and Bollywood movies playing on TV screens. Fun times.

It was a bit strange to see the Showcase on Main turned into an Indian restaurant. But, as odd as that was, I couldn't be happier with the new spot. Service was fast and friendly. The Chicken Korma and paratha were probably the best I've ever had, anywhere (and that includes India!). The mango lassi and garlic naan were also excellent. I'm not from around here, just visiting local friends, but I'll make sure we return to It's Masala Time whenever I'm back for my next visit! (The food looked/smelled so good I forgot to take pics before digging in)
