“ I love the food at Masala! It's been wonderful every time I've been. I've taken several people here who have never had South Asian cuisine before and they have all loved it. ”
“ The staff are friendly and efficient. The food is fresh and delicious. The buffet lunch is delightful ”
“ The buffet was ready at 11:30 as advertised. The food was average.... What you would expect at a buffet: Tandori chicken, goat meat, Dahl, lentils with cheese. They had naan on my table when I returned from the buffet so that was a plus but I am not sure it was freshly made since it was cold. There was nothing special about this buffet. What you see is what you get. The dining area has a window into the kitchen so if I wanted to, I could have seen what was going on in the kitchen. The outer windows open for nice days. The temperature started to heat up so they closed the windows. The parking is metered on the street. It was ok if I were in a pinch I would return. ”
“ I liked every dish ordered: got a butter chicken and a tikka, both were very good - the mango chutney was great too. ”
“ Food was great. One issue is that on the website's online ordering page, once you complete the order and get the confirmation number, there's a bit of a panic because the map shows the address in the wrong place. They need to find out how to fix this because I panicked I bought food 4 hours away. ”
“ Great Indian food added to the rotation. Similar cost and distance as Spice Delight for us. Chicken tikka masala, daal makhani, palak paneer, mutter paneer, samosas, garlic naan all warm and tasty. ”
“ Solid spot for Indian food! I went for the lunch buffet and everything was really good. It was pretty full but didn't have to wait on a Sunday afternoon. My favorites were the dal makhani and the chicken tandoori. FYI- you can't order off the menu at lunch time, it's just the buffet, but they had a good selection. Would go again! ”
“ Delicious indian food! I have been to Masala and ordered takeout several times over the years and food and service has remained consistently good. Most recently tried the okra, palak paneer, garlic naan and samosas and everything was delish. They have limited street parking. Have been able to get tables without reservations. ”
