I ordered Chicken Biryani and Tandoori Chicken. It was all delicious! I love Chicken Biryani so I’ve tried pretty a lot of places and they had really tasty Chicken Biryani. Tandoori Chicken was also very good. It was moisture and well seasoned! I am not good at eating cilantro(or coriander) and I forgot to ask to get rid of it but it was mixed with the dish very well so I had no problem and it made me want to try cilantro more! People were nice and caring too. I recommend a lot!

Lovely people and delicious, dependable food. Great for eating in or delivery. Outside dining available, too. Tonight, I started with vegetable samosas. Delicious!! So light and fluffy the crust, so perfectly spiced the classic filling. Mango Lassi is wonderful with a sweet touch of whipped cream. I’m also going to have my favorite— saag (spinach) paneer and garlic naan. The owner is here — so welcoming and very grateful for his customers during these times that are so challenging for restaurants and retailers. This is a very sweet, homey place.

We gave Alachi Masala a try with our kids. We tried the chicken curry and lamb rogan josh, both of which were full of flavor and perfectly spiced. The kids loved their “chicken kids meal”, and the service was excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic Indian food.

Really love Alachi Masala… For a couple years in a row now I’ve ordered their food for my birthdays. Very dependable service, we got delivered a giant order of curries, chicken, rice, naan, samosas, etc.—enough to feed 30 people! The food is great; I love it and so did everyone else, even the picky kids. The in-restaurant setting is very pleasant as well. I’ll definitely continue eating from here!

Wouldn’t really recommend this place. The dinner special is pretty deceiving since the portion size of pretty much everything, except for the rice, is halved, on top of the choices for everything being pretty limited. Ultimately, it ends up being more expensive and just as filling as a single entree.

Really great Indian food, they also allow byob so we brought our own wine. We had the onion bhajis, chicken makhani, lamb vindaloo, bhuna and saag paneer. Honestly all of the dishes were so delicious we were very impressed. I’d definitely come back here for dinner, if you haven’t tried this place yet, run don’t walk!

The food here is incredibly good. The realm here was very pleasent and the service here was one of the best i’ve ever seen. I ordered the Lamb rogan josh and it was the best curry i have ever eaten. It was a heaven on my tongue. The food is really worth the price. And after you finish your food you get free cut oranges. This was an amazing experience!!! Come here if you want authentic pakistani food.

Just received an Uber delivery. The Korma is disgusting. We put it straight into the trash. Tastes like a sweet gravy and the chicken was full of bones and skin. Gross. Also missing our appetizer. Never again.

Alachi Masala is a lovely place! The group I run at Columbia comes every semester for a celebration, and Amin and the rest of the staff give us a great deal on a family style dinner. The service is lovely, the food is good, and they have a BYOB policy. Highly recommended.

Ordered take out and the food was pretty great. Tasty and the appropriate level of spice for what we ordered. Their website doesn’t indicate, but rice is served with each entree ordered. They only give 1 piece of naan for each order, which at $5 each is steep.
