Masala is a lovely place to get Indian and Nepali food. We tried it for the first time tonight and it was also my first time having food from Nepal. I tried the Kwatti which is a bean soup and Moo Moo Cha, vegetable dumplings. I also got my favorite Indian appetizer, Lamb Samosas.

Was there for Sunday buffet lunch and It was a very pleasant experience. At $17 Authentic Nepali cousin ( momos and khasi ko maaso), sweet people at service makes this place so beautiful. The dining area is open air based so lots of room for a relaxing environment.

Delicious Indian and Nepalese food! First time trying momos and they were so good. The portions are generous and the prices are incredibly reasonable especially for drinks. I recommend the rack of lambs, saffron chicken and mango chicken. The staff is very sweet too. Will definitely be coming back.

Food was okay but the restaurant had a really strong smell of incense that literally the food was smelling bad. When I asked about it to the waitress she totally ignored it.

Johnson MrBear

The service is pretty good. And the environment looks new and nice as well. They provide some appetizer by default with 3 different sauces which is awesome and you could ask more for free. Awesome! Ordered Vegetarian Platter which is hot and fresh, good to have to start. The black one is Lamb Palak with mild, it is okay, a little to plain for me. I ordered Rogan Josh with middle hot and the spicy level is perfect. But still prefer with Chicken masala with middle hot, Classic and could not be wrong. Garlic Naan is okay. Ordered another sweet naan Peshawari, more like snack. If you want something new, it is worth to try. But i might not try again. Still not get used to sweet naan I guess.
