Great food! The best Indian takeout I've had in this city. Tandoori chicken is well flavoured & cooked along with the kebabs & chicken biryani. Authentic & very satisfying. Will go again soon!
Their tandoori chicken is really good & naan is very fresh. The only dish I didn't like a lot was Manchurian.. but other than that I highly recommend this place..

The food is tasty & of high quality. The service is excellent with quiet & polite waiters. Anil's wife Seema's welcoming smile, warm greetings, & friendliness brings me & my husband back to this restaurant often! Our favourite dishes are the lamb vindaloo, chettinad chicken, naans, & the mango lassi.
Best Indian food in Town. We never look for another options when we want to Dine out. Their Veg Momos are the best I ever had along with Paneer Tikka, Soya Chaap & main course. We bring all our Friends & suggest everyone to dine here.
The Place is Clean & neat. I ordered butter chicken, lamb rogan josh & Fish amritsari & it was soo good & tastylicious & the dessert Gulab Jamun was sooo good as well. I am 100% to come back again..& beside that the owner was so kind & she always smile & the workers there are nice too. ❤️🙏 #Namaste
Went two days on the weekend for the brunch menu, attentive service & tasty food, plus good size portions. Word of advice stick to the north Indian items as they were excellent, but the dosa not so much, as it was very dry. But will go again if in the area.
The food is fantastic at this resto. Our neighbors love it here & we had to try. I love the fusion of some of the dishes & you can tell how much love for food is placed in each dish. We started with the Onion bhaji & Veg momos & then the Chicken Tikka Masala with rice, naan & roti. It was all VERY good! The staff are friendly & courteous as well. We even met the chef & owner of the resto on the way out & seemed so happy & appreciative that we enjoyed his creations so much. Can't wait to come back to try his other dishes!

We were staying in Dorval, Quebec & wanted to explore desi food. This one had the 4.6 raring so wanted to try. Was not disappointed, food was excellent & service was awesome. Already dines two dinners.
The female owner is really nice & polite. Her service is good. But the man who answers the phone is very impolite. I was trying to clear up the confusion about the vindaloo not being served with rice, he just hung up the phone mid-sentence. Rude customer service. I was not asking for free food. Last time i will be coming back. He shouldn't be answering the phone with that attitude. He just made the restaurant to lose two customers.
My friends & I went to Masala Art last Saturday wanting to try some Indian food not knowing about there brunch special menu. We ended up trying it & loving it. The food was delicious especialy the bhatura & chole kulche.
We had heard a lot about this restaurant & finally gave it a try. Definitely worth the hype. Special recommendation for Delhi chaat (you will miss India a little less after having this chaat platter) We also enjoyed Paneer tikka masala & Dal makhani. Service was great & staff was friendly & understanding.
We tried the brunch special at Masala art & the food was absolutely amazing. The chana bhatura was the best I had & it was so soft. it came with great side dishes too. THE masala dosa & chicken dosa were delicious & crispy . The samber on the side was so savory as well. We will definitely cone back for more !
