Review Summary

Masakali Indian Cuisine draws broadly positive reviews for flavorful dishes and generous portions, with something for sharing and options for multiple spice tolerances. Dishes ranging from crispy corn and paneer starters to rich curries, tandoori items, and biryani are frequently praised for fresh ingredients and robust masala, and many reviewers note that portions are large enough to serve more than one person. The service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and pleasant background music; a few notes mention it can feel hot or busy at peak times. While the price point is viewed as reasonable by many, some diners feel certain dishes or biryani portions do not meet expectations for the cost, and a minority report variability in spice level or consistency. Overall, Masakali Indian Cuisine is seen as a reliable destination for authentic Indian flavors in a vibrant setting, with diverse menu options and many diners planning to return.

Great food & great service.
We had chicken lollipop, tandoori chicken, butter & garlic & kalonji naans.

Tandoori chicken & naans were the best, the naans were so fresh & crunchy.

The butter chicken was a little too buttery, but the taste was very good.

It was a good experience at Masakali, staff is very polite & respectful. We ordered appetizers & main course, appetizers(Masala fried corn) were good & came in very good quantity it can serve more than 2 people. Ordered kadhai paneer if you are Indian & can tolerate spices go for spicy hot. Atmosphere was very pleasant & music going on in background but it was hot in there probably as it was cold out & we dressed up warm. Overall it was a good experience & before we left there was a mouthfreshner & Melody which always reminds me of restaurants in India.

I was disappointed & quite frustrated, as the plates served were improperly cleaned & still had food stains on them, as if they had been rinsed & given directly to a new customer. Even the second set of plates we received had small marks on them. This was not acceptable.

I ordered butter chicken & garlic naan. My stomach was doing somersaults after. I got heartburn & my stomach is hurting. It feels like this didn't get digested. With all that sauce, You cannot see what you are eating. Not very safe for your stomach.

Absolument délicieux !
Nous avons goûté plusieurs de leurs plats & ils sont tous aussi bons les uns que les autres.
En plus de cela, le restaurant est très beau & le personnel est très gentil !
C'est également très très peu cher !
