" Masala is my favorite spot for Indian food! The flavors are always vibrant and dishes are usually spot-on in authenticity. I tried the Kashmiri Rogan Josh on my last visit, and it was delightful—tender meat in a spiced sauce. The staff is friendly, and the ambiance is pleasantly casual. My only wish is that they would rotate their menu for some new items. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my cousin's birthday at Masala Indian Cuisine last week, and it was a hit! We opted for family-style dining and shared a variety of dishes. Highlights included the chicken biryani, which was flavorful without being overly spiced, and the saag paneer. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, with a touch of authenticity. The only downside was the service was a little slow at times, but we weren't in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Masala Indian Cuisine last weekend, and it was delightful! The service was absolutely stellar; our server was kind and attentive. The food was cooked to perfection, especially the Saag Paneer, which was so flavorful that I could eat it every day. The garlic naan was a must-try— fluffy and delicious! This restaurant has definitely earned a special place in our hearts. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Masala Indian Cuisine for lunch and tried their buffet. The selection was ample, with a variety of dishes, some of which had an authentic Nepali twist. However, I found that the flavor of some items was a bit muted and didn’t meet my expectations. The service was attentive, but I had to wait longer than anticipated for some dishes to be replenished. I'd consider going back for a dinner menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Masala was a beautiful experience. The interior is understated but charming, and the food absolutely lives up to the hype. I tried the tandoori chicken and the garlic naan, both exceptional. My only criticism is that the tandoori was a bit on the dry side this time. The service was prompt and friendly, which made dining in comfortable and enjoyable. I plan to come back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Masala Indian Cuisine is a hidden gem! The flavors are vibrant, and the dishes come out beautifully presented. I loved their Kashmiri Rogan Josh; it had a depth of flavor that left me wanting more. I was also impressed with the friendly service—everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. The only drawback was that it was a bit busy that evening, which made for a slightly longer wait for food, but definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Masala last night and enjoyed the experience, although I felt the food was a bit too mild for my palate. The ambiance was cozy, but I would have loved a little more spice in my dishes. The Momo and dal were good, but they could have taken more risks with the seasoning. Service was friendly and attentive, though, which is always appreciated! " (*Curated Review*)
