Customer Reviews
Masala is a gem for anyone who loves vibrant flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. As a gluten‑free vegetarian, I found the menu especially thoughtful. The lunch began with crisp, golden vegetable pakoras, perfectly fried and paired with two dipping sauces that balanced tang and spice. The saag paneer was rich and creamy, with a medium heat that added warmth without overpowering. Dessert was a decadent flourless chocolate cake, smooth and indulgent, the perfect finale. The service was attentive and warm, making the whole experience feel effortless. With elegant décor that feels both refined and comfortable, Masala offers a dining experience that delights the senses from start to finish.
We paid NINETY-FIVE DOLLARS (which includes taxes and DoorDash fees, but still!) for this sad little spread of food in the picture here, which came via DoorDash. The portions are minuscule. The naan was OK, you’d hope so from an Indian restaurant. The tandoori shrimp (the top-most dish in the pic) was actually decent, as you can see from the pic. The ‘Chicken 65’ and this little container of what they call ‘vindaloo’ (which came with shrimp, although we ordered it with lamb), were terrible. The “Indian” flavors were flat and one-dimensional. My wife and I have eaten Indian food in a whole bunch of American cities and this was the worst we’ve ever had. Save your money and get a hot dog at the gas station.
I loved the food, and the service, everyone was so nice. The food was hot and delicious, the atmosphere was upscale ,chilled. Our waiter was so knowledgeable, every question we had she had a answer, we went for lunch and the wait wasn't long at all overall with the food tasting so wonderful and the awesome customer service This place is definitely a good place to eat.
I went there for dinner today, and honestly I had a really bad experience. I found a hair in my bread. I called the waitress and showed it to her, and she just said, “Oh, that’s a hair.” I said yes. She asked if I wanted another one, and I told her no, just bring me the check. She brought the bill, I paid, and left — without even a single apology. I understand that mistakes can happen, and finding a hair is not the end of the world. But the way they handled the situation was very careless and unprofessional. She acted like it was something totally normal, like it wasn’t a big deal at all. That’s what really bothered me. I actually used to love this restaurant and was a regular customer. But after the way this situation was handled, I don’t think I’ll be coming back again.
It was my first time here. I came here for a birthday party. I never knew that they could reserve a venue in the building for party events. The food was mouth watering. The Chicken 65 was delicious. The spices and flavors exceeded my expectations. I tried a few other items on the menu like Vandaloo and Goat Korma, since it was an open menu. I loved the drinks. The drinks were slightly strong with fresh flavors. I will come here again and not just to party!
